to support his Secretary Of the Navy
and Secretary of War when they
begged the workers at Allis-Chal-

President did not back up either OF
his cabinet officers and allowed the

discredited the appeal Of the War

Vo||ondighom Charge
Presidents Criticism Of Lindbereh RecoIs
Similarity of Problems to Those Of 1861

Must I shoot a simple minded
soldier boy who deserts, while I
must not touch a hair of a willy
agitator who induces him to de-
sert?" Lincoln asked. II think that
in such a case to silence the agita-
tor and save the boy is not only
constitutional, but withal q great
mercy"
Denying the charge of the New
York committee that Vallandigham
was prosecuted "for no other reason
than words addressed to a public
meeting in criticism of the course
Of the administration" Lincoln said:
If there was no other reason
for the arrest, then I concede the
arrest was wrong. But the arrest,
as 1 understand, was made for a
very different reason. Mr.. VAL
landigham avows his hostility to
the war on the part of the Union;
and his arrest was made because
he was laboring, with some effect.
to prevent the raising of troops, to
encourage desertions from the Army
and to leave the rebellion without
adequate military force to suppress
it. He was not arrested because
he was damaging the political pros
poets OF the administration or the
personal interests of the command
ing general, but because he was
damaging the Army.
No Bar to Opposition.
Under cover of liberty of speech,
liberty OF the press and 'habeas
corpus, they hoped to keep on
foot amongst us most efficient
corps of spies, informers, suppliers
and aiders and abettors of their
cause in a thousand ways"
Recalling that the New York Com
mittee had referred to themselves
as Democrats" rather than Amer
ican citizens" Lincoln said:
Il would have preferred to meet
you on level one step niger than
any party platform, because I am
sure that from such more elevated
position we could do better battle
for the country we all love, than
we possibly can from those lower
ones where, from the force of habit,
the prejudices of the past and self
ish hopes of the future, we are sure
TO expend much of our ingenuity
and strength in finding fault with
and aiming blows at each other.
But since you have denied ME this,
I will yet be thankful for the coun-
try's sake that not all Democrats
have done So"
There is, of course. a far cry from
the position of Vallandigham in
1863 and the position of Col. Lind
bergh and his fellow isolationists
now. The Rubicon that was Sum-
ter not yet has been crossed. Ameri-
cans are not in the fighting and.
until they are there is no bar, legal
or moral, against American citizens
contending that they should not be
sent to fight. But there can be lit

must be surrendered during war

ever, must be given corresponding

be giving up of the right to strike

tions and as pertains to the han
ding of Congress and conflicting
surges of American public opinion
he more than once has indicated
that Abraham Lincoln is his favorite
model.
BY his linking of Lindbergh and
Vallandigham, the President re-
vealed that, like Lincoln in 1861, he
is measuring his actions today as
much in terms of public sentiment
at home as the military and naval
developments abroad. His problem
Is not only what Britain needs, but
how far and how fast Congress and
the country can be brought along in
support of his aid-to- Britain policy
For nearly three months after the
fall of Fort Sumter began the Civil
War Lincoln did not call Congress
into session, for the reason that
until the Secessionist members were
unmistakably weeded out. he could
not be sure Of majority in support
of the Union. Even so, Congress de-
bated for months the question
whether the Presidents initial de-
fensive actions should be approved
and his suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus, and some other of
his acts, never were accorded con-
gressional Endorsement.
Beaten by Gerrymander.
Clement L. Vallandigham, a Dem
ocratic member of Congress from
Ohio, was the leader of the North
ern "copperhead' obstructionists in
this first Civil War session. In ad-
dition to branding Lincoln a
"usurper," he contended that the
South never could be conquered and
that the effect of the war would be
political and economic ruin, North as
we'll as South.
Vallandigham was beaten for re-
election in November, 1862, but this
only by a gerrymander which added
a strongly Republican county to his
district. His arrest and sentence
by a military court martial TO i'm
prisonment for the period of the
war, q few months later. created
such a popular outcry that President
Lincoln commuted the sentence to
banishment behind the Confederate
lines.
After brief stay at Wilmington.
N. c., Vallandigham went TO Ber-
muda and thence to Canada, from
which he continued his propaganda
efforts quite as effectively as If he
were in the United States. During
his banishment he was an unsuc-
cessful nominee of the Democratic
party for Governor of Ohio and
in the early summer of 1864 he
returned without hindrance to Chi
cago to participate as a delegate
in the Democratic National Conven-
tion which nominated Gen. George
B. Mcclellan to oppose President
Lincoln.
One Of Mr.. Lincoln'S most re-
markable State papers is a letter
that he wrote to Erastus Corning
and other New York Democrats who
had protested the arrest of VAL
landigham. In this Lincoln con-
fesseo that "in my discretion, I do
not know whether I would have
ordered the arrest of Mr.. Vallan-
digham." but still he assumed full
responsibility for this action once
1t had occurred.

From something latent in the thin
Flow of bright blood that sets alight
TIE slight bone, the transparent

From something strange within that
coiled
Stern mechanism of the brain
That breaks beneath the smell OF

That bends below the April rain;
From something bred of body's fine
Austerity of line and curve

The incoherent mind and nerve

And shall fall dupe, to this

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

One of the first things which the
little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows who hunt
other little people learn is patience.
Sometimes it takes a long time to
learn this, but it has to be learned
Reddy Fox had learned it. With
all his cleverneSs, Reddy knew that
often cleverness itself would not sue
ceed without patience. When he
was young he had lost many a
good meal through impatience.
Reddy could not remember when
he had been more hungry than he
was now. Lying there behind the
fallen tree trunk, watching the fat
hens walking about unsuspectingly
just little way from him, it seemed
to him that he simply must rush
out and catch one of them. But
Reddy was smart enough to know
that if he did this there would at
once be such a screaming and
squaWking that some one would be
sure to rush out from the farm
house to find out what was going
on. If he was discovered there
would be small chance that he would
have an opportunity to get another
fat hen. Reddy Is clever enough to
make the most of an opportunity.
He knew that If he could get one
of these hens without frightening
the others he would have a chance
to get another. He might have a
chance to get several in this way.
So, though he was eager and so
hungry, he made himself keep per-
fectly still and studied out a plan.
BY and by he stole ever so care
fully around back of the barn to
the coWyard. Some of these fat
hens were scratching in the straw
of the coWyard. Just outside the
coWyard was a pile of old boards.
Reddy craWled behind this pile of
old boards and then crouched and
settled himself to be patient. He
knew that sooner or later one of
those fat hens would be likely to
come out of the cowyard, In this
way he might be able to catch one
without the others knowing a thing
about it.
Blacky the Crow sat in the top of
a tall tree, where he could see all
that was going on. Blacky was as
impatient as Reddy was patient.
why doesn't that red rascal rush
in and get one of those fat hens?"
muttered Blacky. What is the mat
ter with him, ANYWAY? I wonder
if he is afraid. He could catch
one of them without half trying,
and there he lies as if he expected
them to run right into his mouth.
I don't want to sit here all day,
and yet I can't do a thing until
he catches one of those hens"
So Reddy waited patiently and
Blacky waited impatiently, and the
fat hens wandered around un-
suspectingly. and for a long, long
time nothing happened.
