VETERANS CHARGE LINCOLN
 STARTED CIVIL. WAR

It is most unfortunate that the United Con- federate Veterans, attending the reunion at Richmond, showed disposition to fight the Civil war over again. Actual hostilities were not threatened, of course, but what promises to be a long-drawn out controversy was start ed when the veterans adopted a resolution charging that Abraham Lincoln instigated the Civil war. The Grand Army of the Republic and the Danes of the Loyal Legion propose to retaliate, dispatch from Washington de- clares, by suppressing histories which condemn Lincoln.
 What has come over the old soldiers at this late day, that they should be guilty of such 8 foolish and uncalled for attack on Lincoln, at a time when all Civil war animosities should be dead beyond resurrection? It is true that the resolution was hastily passed on the last day of the reunion and the veterans adjourned without reconsidering their action, but that is lame excuse.
 It has been 57 years since Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomatox, April g, 1865. Surely
 
 long enough to have cultivated a spirit of charity and fairness? It is said that the his- torical committee which reported the resolu- tion gathered facts to support the charge against Lincoln, but if that is true, these facts are something new in history
 Lincoln was determined at any cost to pre- serve the Union, and in that he was wise, as subsequent events have shown beyond ques- ton. That he was a bitter and designing foe of the south is so contrary to all we know of his life and character that it will not be cred ited except by a few Confederate veterans and others misled by sectional prejudice, which should no longer exist in this country. Even if Lincoln were guilty of the accusa- tions made against him, it would be both un- timely and unwise to revive i'll feeling en- gendered by conflict that ended nearly GO years ago. It is better to forgive and forget than to fight on forever.

"PUSSYFOOT' COMES TO THE END
 OF HIS PATIENCE

"Pussyfoot" Johnson is pious man. No one will question that, and his zeal for per- petual and universal drouth is evidenced by one eye which he sacrificed to the cause of prohibition in London. But just as a parson may lose patience with his obstreperous fliv- yer, "Pussyfoot" was driven to strong language in discussing MT. Lasker's wet liners
 <, MT. Johnson not only refused to ride on one of the shipping board vessels, where nearly everything to drink but Anheuser- Busch near beer can be had by the thirsty, but he used profanity and referred to them as "scows."

THE GAMBLE IN BOOK WRITING

From the Kansas City Star.
 New novels by the authors of Main Street" and "If Winter Comes" are expected in t5 near future. Will they have the phenomenal success of their predecessors? Who can say? Authors and publishers alike were surprised by the enormous vogue of these two stories. They thought the novels were good. They had no idea they would capture the reading public as they did.
 Naturally MT. Hutchinson and MT. Lewis, urged by their publishers are to be in the field soon to take advantage of the vogue of their great successes. That vogue will sell a certain number of books. But the sale will soon dwinde if the novels fail to go over with the public.
 The author who makes a great success of several volumes in succession is lucky. A series of novels by whose skill is increasing with experience might be expected to promise increasing success with each voume-except that so often the author writes himself out and forces a book when he has no story to tell. That does happen, however, and the pub lie is quick to recognize the fact. It has not been buying Harold Bell Wright's latest book by the hundreds of thousands, as it bought his previous ones. Zane Grey's "To the Last Man. has not had the vogue of earlier books.
 Public taste, like the wind, bloweth where it listeth, and the writing of books is great gamble. Mark Twain thought "The Prince and the Pauper" quite book, and was indif- ferent to "Huckleberry Finn"

THREE "BUMS"
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Three tramps on Wabash freight train; the train rumbles at midnight through the little town of Bement, H. The hoboes notice that there is house on fire; their business is not pressing; they tumble off the train to invest- gate. No one else is awake in Bement
 In the house are father and a mother and a little child. The tramps do not know who is inside, but they deem it good time for pre- cipitate- action. They break down a door, awaken the imperiled householders, and lead them to safety. As the home smolders to charred ruins another freight train comes rumbling through Bement, and when the people look for the tramps, there are no tramps.
 It was all merely an episode in the life of the three wanderers. There was nothing the grate- full village could do for them. Confirmed "bums' they were. The merry life of the bumpers and the "blind baggage" was the life for them. Probably they considered it rare good luck that another freight came along just when it did. Otherwise they might have had to stay in Bement and that would have been bad med cine.
 You never can tell about human impulses, you cannot with safety predict just when and where nobility will be disclosed. Perhaps nine out of 10 tramps would have stuck to their itinerary and let all Bement burn. Bement was blessed by the providential advent of socety's outcasts. But it is safe to assume that some of the people of Bement will hereafter be less inclined to set the dogs every stray vagabond who chances to drop off at the water tank.
 From hoboes to heroes and back again in one short night; there's spicy variety of life!

THOSE GOOD OLD TIMES

From the New York Herald.
 That generally sane Senator Oscar Under wood is suffering from an attack of the good old times mania. In the debate on the tariff the other day he delivered a'lecture on the su- perior living conditions of grandmothers:
 Our grandmothers may not have ridden
 in automobiles; they may not have been able to buy Florida strawberries in the mid
 dle of winter; they may not have been
 able to get their fish out of a refrigera7
 tor which had kept it from time immemor-
 ial. But their health was much better
 They lived in more comfortable homes,
 although those. houses may not have been
 heated by steam heating plant. They
 ate better and purer food, and they had more of it. Although they may not have
 had the latest patterns from Paris and
 may not have worn many clothes, when
 they bought woolen suit they bought it
 cheaper, and it was all wool and not
 shoddy.
 Our grandmothers had no flivyers, but they had horses and carriages, which cost more to maintain than motor car costs
 They had no Florida strawberries, so they ate canned strawberries and suffered for it. They had no cold storage, and therefore missed the variety of food which is advan- tage to their grandchildren.
 Their homes had larger rooms, but lacked central heating, electric lights, fans and power and porcelain tubs. Most of the windows opened only from the bottom. The beds com pared with those of today were poor affairs
 They did not eat better and purer food. If they had gardens they ate fresher vegetables than the city people could get, but the general run of beef, lamb, pork and dairy products was inferior to that of the present.
 If their health was better than that of their granddaughters they did not admit it. The young ladies were pale and languid; it was fashionable to be so. Their elders retired at 55 or so to the rocking chair and the knitting and spent many happy hours complaining
