delivered Lincoln's letter to his
uncle. BY then the was was over.
Lincoln was in his grave. His
uncle, Alexander Stephens, was
arrested and carried a political
prisoner to Fort Warren in Bos-
ton Harbor.
The letter relating to the re-
lease of 1t. John Stephens and
the autographed photo handed
him by Lincoln were framed and
hung ON a wall of the Stephens
home for 70 years, silent re-
minder of one of the most unu-
sual events in all the history of
this country.
After serving five months in
prison, Alexander Stephens was
pardoned and his political dtsa-
bilities later removed. On Febru-
airy IL, 1878, the famous oil paint

patton Proclamation, in which
Lincoln is the central figure, was

ed at the door and directed him
to report to the commanding Of
ficer at once. His surprise was
great. He had known of other
prisoners who had been called
out and never heard from again.
Was he to suffer the same fate?
With the orderly he went to the
commandant where a still great
er surprise awaited him. He was
shown a telegram from President
Lincoln, which read:
Parole 1t. John Stephens,
prisoner of war, to report to me
here in person, and send him to
me-"
Placed on board a bobsleigh
drawn by two mules across froz-
en- Lake Erie was an experience
undreamed of by this Confeder-
ate soldier. To report to the Pres
ident at the nations capital was
beyond the Imagination of son
of the South.
Reaching Washington, he was
ushered into the White House.
President Lincoln and Mr.. Sew
ard were sitting at a table talk
ing. Stephens was cordially re-
ceived and introduced to the Sec
rotary of State. Lincoln suggest
ed that if he had friends in Wash
ington to pay them a visit and
then report to him.
Two or three days later Lieu
tenant Stephens again reported
at the White House and found the
President alone. Lincoln talked
to Stephens about his association
n Congress with his uncle and of
their friendship. He then handed
the young Confederate officer a
note to his uncle, which read as
follows:
According to our agreement,
your nephew, Lieutenant Steph-
ems, goes to you bearing this note.
Please, in return, select and send
to me that officer of the same
rank imprisoned at Richmond
whose physical condition most
urgently requires his release"
Lincoln then took from pige-
onhole q small photograph of him
self, autographed it, and handing
it to Stephens said, Suppose You
take this along with you. l do
not expect there are many of

tedious delays, was carried thru

Alexander Stephens, who had
again been elected to Congress,

said, in part:

LINCOLN AND
STEPHENS
By CLAUDE F. BEVERLY

This week the nation will
pause in reverent remembrance
of the, birthday of a great man,
who 100 years ago was a member
of the lower house of Congress.
With him served another man
who in his section of the country
rose to fame and power.
In 1847, two men were elected
to Congress from widely separat-
ed sections Of the United States,
one from the north, the other
from the south. Strangely, they
were of the same political faith.
Both were Wings. oBoth were
members OF an exclusive political
group called the Young Indians.
Cne was far above the average
height, the other was. a sms II
man. Both were intellectual
giants, two great Americans. One
was opposed to slavery, the other
opposed secession. They became
warm and intimate friends and
remained so until death. One was
destined to become President Of
the United States, the other Vice
President of the Southern Confcd
eracy. One was to be assasinated J.,
the other to become a politica
prisoner of the government he
had ncoe served. One was Abra-
ham Lincoln of Illinois, the other
Alexander H. Stephens of Geor-
gia.
While they were serving in
Congress, Lincoln took his pen in
hand one day and wrote his law
partner, Bill Herndon, that "Mr.
Stephens, Of Georgia, little,
slim, pale-faced, consumptive-
looking man, has just concluded
the very best speech of an hours
length I ever heard. My old, with
cred dry eyes are full of tears
yet"
When they separated in the
House of Representatives in l849,
l6 years were to elapse before
they met again. 1t was at night,
on board a glnlboat in Hampton
Reads, February 3, 1865. The
occasion was the famous peace
conference which accomplished
nothing toward ending the Civil
War. Lincoln and Secretary of
State Seward represented the TN
ion; Stephens was one of the del
egates representing the Confed-
eracy.
When these talks had ended in
naught, the President turned to
his old friend and said, "Alex, is
there anything can do for you
personality" "Yes", said Steph-
ems, there isl He then went on
to tell Lincoln that he had a
nephew who was prisoner at
Johnson's Island on Lake Erie,
and his family had not heard
from him for long time. Could
Lincoln find out something about
him and get word to him that his
people at home were still living?
Lincoln said he would do that,
and more, too.
Two days later, 1t. John Steph
ems, late of the Confederate army,
arose as usual at Johnson's Is
land to begin the depressing rou-
tine life Of prisoner, He had
dane 70 fer mega than two years,

tails of railroading that contribute to i'm
proved service.
Feather-Bcdding Means Less Service To You
But brazen feather bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
provement programs. Even worse, they make
improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the cost OF their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against YOUR interests
as well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes to make work.. Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such
penalty for progress.
That's why the railroads are resisting these
make work" demands to the last ditch and
why they are telling you about them.

Their pay is high by any standard Granting
of these demands, therefore, would mean that
the railroads would be paying out millions in
unearned wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets.
Veg Like To Spend This Money On You
You 1;.ow how much the diesel has meant to
yor n increased speed, comfort and conven-
fence. The railroads have many more of them
on order for even greater improvement in
service to you. But needless drains of money
such as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of
the railroads to spend money on better serv-
ice for you.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel it is
only small part of their Improvement pro-
gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol
lars have been spent on improvement of

HOOVER PROGRAM

The Hoover report cannot make or
break the federal budget, but it can mean
the difference between surplus or de-
ficit
The Hoover program reached Con-
gress last Spring. It was the product of two
years of effort by the Hoover Commission
which was created by law-and by sew
eral hundred experts who performed re-
search work without pay.
The Report suffered major setback
when Congress refused to swallow it
whole, despite Hoover's personal urging
Piecemeal legislation was passed, starting
in June.
At the end of the session Representa-
tive Clarence Brown Of Ohio and other
legislators supported the reform drive and
called for redrafting of the Hoover bills

OUR DEFENSE BUDGET

The budget of the United States has

is reason to believe that it is.
Something like $4,000 100000 is be-
ing allocated the three armed services. an
other seven or eight billion goes for aid
and assistance. abroad, and about five bill
lions are being spent annually for the bene-
fit of veterans of past wars.
In addition, interest on the national
debt, most of it incurred in the prosecu-
ton Of warfare, amounts to four or five
billion dollars year.
Despite the large sums involved it is
well 70 remember that 1t is cheaper to win
wars than to lose them. Moreover, reten-

THE THREE WINNERS

Tell some persons derogatory story
about this or that man, particularly 4 ne y
politician, and they believe i without
making the least effort to learn whether
or not the story is true.
Chief reason for their believing It Is
their dislike of the man. or woman whom
the story concerns. Anything they hear
about the object of their dislike they not
only take for granted but also get sonne-
thing of d thrill in mounting it to Others.
When man announces his candidacy
for public office, he may be sure that false
reports will be sprung about him over
night. The Citizen never tires of recalling
story the late William III. Malone, one
time mayor of Key West and representa-
tive and senator from Monroe County in the
legislature. used to tell about an upright
man who ran for member of city council
In his hometown. The first day he cam
paigned, he was told rumor was making
the rounds that he had stolen pig, His wife
asked him why he looked detected when
he came home for luncheon. He told her,
and she said, 'Poppycock! Why pay any,
attention to that? You know It's not true"
When he came home for supper. he looked
even more detected than he had at noon.
What's the trouble now" She ask
ed.
He replied. They've proved 1t on me. =
Key Westers should discount every
maligning story about any candidate for
city commissioner at the election next
Tuesday, unless they cOrroborate the story.
Take nothing for granted that you may
hear in any election about any man. If you
jump to the conclusion that the story is
true. you may not only do him an injustice
but also may manifest your gullihility.
In an election where every candidate
has been Democrat, The Citizen has con-
sistently adhered to the sound principle
that every Key West voter knowing the
candidates we'll, is well able to make his
own choice or choices among the men as
piring for office.
The Citizen has adhered to another
commendable practice since it has been
under its present ownership the publisher
has never attempted, directly or indirectly,
to sway single employe to vote for or
against any candidate.
A mans or woman's vote belongs to
him or her for each to cast free of restraint.
Finally, The Citizen trusts that the
three men who win will work diligently
and conscientiousIy to promote the inter-
ests of Key West.
