LINCOLN AND. THE SOUTH.

To the Editor of The ge-Herald:
 Tn an editorial of The Age Herald of July Is. you say: There would have been different story to tell during reconstruction days if Lincoln had lived"
 A similar statement has been made on numerous occasions, but I have never been able to ascertain the basis or fousstation for such belief. A mans future acts and intentions can only be predicted on what he has done in the past.
 One of MT. Lincoln's last orders be- fore he was assassinated was in re- gard to reconstruction, and if we take this as guide or criterion for his future policy toward the southern states. we will see he would have been dominated by the radical element of his. party as was his successor.
 Alter Richmond was evacuated by the Confederate forces, President Lin coin went there and he was met by a committee of citizens on the James river to consult him in regard to the restoration of Virginia to the union The committee suggested to the Pres ident that Governor Pierpont of West Virginia pc put temporarily in charge of civil affairs in Virginia until some permanent plan could be arranged. MT. Lincoln objected to this and re- piled; NO, the state of West yir ginia is temporary creation. made necessary by the war. | intend to have summoned the legislature of Vir- ginia, now in office and if that bodv shall see fit to obey the constitution of the United States accepting in good faith the Emancipation Procla- mation, no other government will be required in Virginia. The govern ment that took Virginia out of the union IS the government to bring her back. I shall direct General Weitzel to issue you passes throurh his lines, and presume you will need none through General Lees. that you may go and summon all the members you can and they will have safe con duct to and from the capitol.
 April the 12 and 13, an address was published in the Richmond naners signed by members of the legislature and prominent citizens of the state calling upon all members to meet April 25. This order was also coun- tersigned by General Weitzel Mir. Lincoln returned to Washington, he issued an order revoking the one signed by citizens and members Of the legislature, and countersigned by General Weitzel, notifying members of the legislature that they must leave Richmond within 12 hours. on penalty of arrest and Imprisonment
 This was rather discouraging start for reconstruction under Mir Lincoln's administration. He has been praised for great moral courage and tenacity of purpose. This is one of many instances wherein he did not display either of those virtues to a .xs.~ Ar& our Presidents reversed themselves as often as he on questions of vital importance to the people.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

The finished machines were sent to the branch houses and dealers at transportation cost of slightly more than 100 per cent apove prewar rates. As result, it is easy to im- agine the losses which are being in cured by the manufacturers as they reduce prices in acco rdance with de- clines in prices of raw material The southeastern branch house of one of the prominent implement manufae- turers has been operating at a net loss of approximately $6,000 a month during the first half of 1921--and this instance Is but typical of many others.
 And if any further facts were needed to prove to the satisfaction of MT. Allgood that the farm inn plement manufacturers are not profit ing at the expense of the farmers. a glance at the stock market quota tions would be sufficient. The stock of the largest farm implement manu- facturer was quoted at 130 a year ago; today it is 72.
 All these are facts which could easily have been found by MT. All good had he been willing to mack any investigation of this subject be- fore launching his vicious attack on the implement trade Political demagogy, however, is seldom in terested in facts and gives no at tention to business or economic con dit.ons.
 It seems almost incomprehensible, nevertheless. that a man in a posi- ton such as that occupied by Mir. All good where he should have the in- terests of the farmers at heart, should urge them to refrain from buying needed farm implements. Inn proved farm machinery will be very material factor in solving the prob lems of the southern farmers. en- ab;.hg them to diversity their crops aud decrease their production costs
 Farm implement manufacturers would be more short-sighted than their worst enemies give them credit for, were they to attempt to hold up prlres arbitrarily in the face of pres eut farming conditions. Every sensi- ble person knows that they are not doing so-and that the dealers are taking their share of the losses in oiGent to the readjustment period and hence the best explanation of fIr. Allgood'y attack may be found in the two words, political bunk"
