JAMES BUCHANAN

James Buchanan was the last president to wrap his neck in a stock, as Monroe was the last to wear kneebreeches and he was the last of an era. An age passed away as ho passed out of the white house. After Buchanan's birth in a Pennsyl vania log cabin, his father, who was an Irish immigrant, prospered as a country storekeeper, and was able to send his son to college. But the college sent bim back as a wild spirit that it could not tame. The pastor of the scandalsied family begged and obtained chance for the wayward youth, who improved it so well that he graduated first in hjs class. Nevertheless, the still unforgiving faculty denied him the honors of his rank. Buchanan always loyally credited his mother with having exerted upon him the greatest influence for good. Possibly the severe lesson which he received from his stern alma mater may have been somewhat responsible for the prosy propriety of his life ever after. This would be but a dull story of law and politics were it not for a single tragic episode which cast a shadow over the whole after life of our bachelor president. -the only president to die a bachelor. A young woman, to whom Buchanan was engaged in early manhood, a daughter of the wealthiest family in tJie county, wrote him a letter of dismissal undei the spell of a Jealousy which had been aroused by gossips. Pride on both sides kept the two apart until their separation was made irrevocable by her sudden death probably by suicide. In grief and horror, the youn? lover wrote to the father of the dead girl, begging the privilege of looking upon her remains and of following them to the grave. But the letter was leturned to him unopened. Four and forty years passed, and Buchanan went to his grave without ever having taken any other woman to his heart. When his executors opened the papers, which the aged ex-president had left in a bank vault, they found among them a little packet of treasured love letters from his sweetheart, of long ago. But in accordance with the request written on the outside, those faded mementoes of his only love were burned without breaking the seal on them. That old wound was torn open by a most cruel campaign lie when Bu chanan was a candidate for president. In this atrocious attack, he was accused by the editor of the New York Herald, the elder James Gordon Bennett, of having gone out and hanged himself to escape the vengeance of a brother of his betrothed. Although he was cut down, according to the malicious yarn, in time to save him from a suicidal death, it was only necessary WHERE EUROPEAN

Our Presidents MORGAN -asa - - MJ 1791 April 23, James Buchanan, born in Franklin county. Pa. 1S09 Graduated from Dickinson College. 1812 Became a lawyer In Lancaster, Pa. 1815-1816 Member of the Legislature. 1819 Tragic death of his betrothed, Annie C. Coleman. 1821-31 Member of Congress. 1832-34 Minister to Russia. 1834-45 Senator. 1845-49 Secretary of State. 1853-56 Minister to Great Britain. 1856 Democratic nominee for pres ident. for Bennett to point the credulous reader to the way in which the candidate always carried his head tilted to one side as proof that his neck had been permanently twisted In his attempt at suicide. Everyone could not know that this familiar habit was due to an imperfect vision. Buchanan was by no means a crabbed old bachelor. He remained always most courteously attentive to women, though with a perfect impartiality. Nor did he keep bachelor's hall. At Wheatland, his country place near Lancaster. Pa., he brought up, from early childhood the orphaned son of one of his sisters and the orphaned daughter of another, who became, as Miss Harriet Lane, one of the most admired mistresses f the white house. A monument, which will shortly rise in Washington to the memory of Buchanan, will stand also as a memorial to the grateful loyalty of this niece, who left $100,000 for its erection to a president who would otherwise go unhonored In stone. After Buchanan had risen to top rank at the Pennsylvania bar, with a practice which brought him as much as ?12.000 a year, he entered politics. Starting as a Federalist, he became a democrat only at the death of the party of his first choice. He was elected to the legislature and to congross; was thrice elected to the senate; served as minister to Russia and Great Britain, and was secretary of stae in Polk's cabinet. For 20 years an unsuccessful candidate for the presidential nomination, the veteran politician had all but given up hope when at last it came to him unsought in 1856, on his return from a long absence as American minister in London. As he accepted it, he sighed that the honor had been denied him until he was too old to enjoy it, "when all the friends I loved and wanted to reward are dead, and all the enemies I hated and had marked for punishment are turned my friends."

Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught. Because he is a member of the British royal family, the appointment of Prince Arthur of Connaught to act as governor general of the Union of South Africa has stirred up much adverse criticism In Britain. The governor general is supposed to represent the British ministry and not the king. Princess Arthur, a cousin of thx- king, is very popular, but It remains to be seen whether the personal charm of her andherhusband will be sufficient to make them a success in their new field of work.

J. Pickett COX'S LEAGUE STAND SURPRISE TO G. 0. P. MARION, O., July 19. The alacrity with which the league issue has come to the fore has caused manifest surprise at Harding's headquarters hero. Many of the senator's closest associates had not expected Governor Cox to take counsel with the president at the outset of his campaign nor to take any agressive measures to hold up the hands of the present administration, with which he has not been closely associated. In that event they considered It possible that the league issue might be thrust more or less in the background for want of a direct point of conflict between tho two parties. 0 1 3X, IlOWt'Vfl, " OLlli UIUllld.1 supply a paramount point of conflict and the circumstances Is expected to help keep the league controversy in the spo,light. Thf Harding managers are not unmindful that within their own party there is some division of opinion regarding the league, but they believe that on a direct issue of acceptance of the Wilson policy, "without the dotting of an i, or the crossing of a t." they can count on a united Republican front. They are al?o confident that such an issue will drive a wedge through Democratic solidarity, and they do not propose to overlook any opportunity thus to carry the fight into tho enemv's territory. JEWS ASK FOR LAND IN PALESTINE STATE LONDON. July 19.

MINE LEADERS TELL WHAT WORKERS NEED

IN HARD COAL FIELD (By Associated Press) SCRANTON. Pa.. Julv 19 In argu ing for the mine workers before the anthracite mine commission here to day, Philip Murray, vice president of the union, declared the outstanding development of the hearings which are drawing to a close is "the establishment for all time in this industry of the principle of the living wage. "The operators have declared repeatedly their acceptance of this principle and their purpose to adhere to It and have stated that the sole point of difference with us is one of fact, as to what constitutes a living wage and how it should be determined," Mr. Murray continued. Analyzes Statement. "It was not until the cross examination that we secured from the operators the amazing statement that a mine worker can live and support a family on American standards on a wage of $P,.34 per day. That is their translationof the principle of the living wage into concrete figures; that is their measure of the worth of a man under present day conditions. Mr. Huber's $3.34 per day, plus Mr. Warriner's cows and chickens, fresh air and beautiful scenery, furnished us by the operators without price to us and without cost to themselves, comprise the sum total of their contribution to the Information of the commission as to how to determine and what to fix as a living wage for 152,000 workers. "Our demands have been met by the operators with the contention that they are now paying us a living wage, and with the further declaration that if there should be any wage increase it would mean an advance In the price of anthracite to the consumer. Encounter Opposition "When we sought to demonstrate by an inquiry Into the monopolistic domination of the industry and Its abnormally large earnings, direct and Indirect, that our Just wage demands could be met and be absorbed by the operators out of their profits without an increase in the price of coal to the consumer, we encountered a technical objection from the operators, who raised the question as to the Jurisdiction of the commission to go into matters of costs, prices, profits and monopoly. "We submit that we have established beyond contradiction the following points: "1. Anthracite workers are not now receiving a living wige. "2. A living wage in this Industrywould bo largely in excess of the maximum earnings which the operators show in their own table. "Our demand for a minimum wage of $6 per day, with differentials, is reasonable and conservative. "Therefore, we contend that we have earned the Judgment of this commission for our full wage demands on our submission in this phase of the case." On the question of union recognition. Mr. Murray said: "There can be no real industrial peace or accelerated production in the anthracite industry until the Vnited Mine Workers of America are given a full and complete recognition of their union. This is no threat. It is mere ly the statement of a fact. It cannot have, nor does it claim to have, the influence over the great body of mine workers which it should have until the operators accord it complete recognition." CHINESE REGULARS BEAT ENFU SOLDIERS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. July 39. Forces of General Tuan Chl-Jui, former Chinese premier and minister of war, and head of tho Anfu party In China, have been defeated by Chinese regular forces under General Wu Pei-Fu and driven back toward Mentoukuo, the American legation at Peking reported today to the state department. The fighting occurred near Peking and the wounded are arriving in that city. Gonzales Trial Begun Today in Mexico City (Ey Associated Press) WASHINGTON, July 19 Advices to the Ftat department from the embassy at Mexico City today were that Gen. Pablo Gonzales, arrested at Monterey last week, would be placed on trial today on a charge of rebellion. Gen. Gonzales baa been quoted in the Mexico City newspapers as saying that there was no evidence to Trove that he was implicated in the recent revolt in the northern part of Mexico and that his detention and trial were not justified by his refusal to make a public statement condemning the leaders of the revolt. CHICAGOANS RESCUED. CHICAGO, June 19. Laurence Wilder, multi-millionaire head of the Amalgamated Machine Company, his wife, who is a daughter of James A. Patten, the wheat king, and Millar Brainard, vice president of the Central Trust Co., of Chicago, were rescued yoFterday when their canoe capsized about a mile out in the lake. Hay $74 A Ton; Piano $2.50 (Brooklyn Eaele.) The Eastern Long Island fanner seems to be a critical fellow. Just because he can not use a grand piano to raise potatoes there Is no sort of affiliation, apparently, between music and notato growing the farmer re- ! fuses to pay as much for the piano as he will for a blind horse. An auctioneer in Riverhead, L, I.. ! recently astonished the countryside when he got the farmers to bid in a blind horse at $150. and loose hay for the sensational price of $i4 per ton. He reasoned that if a blind horse was worth that much a grand piano that could make jazx music without much effort ought to bring around $500. But the farmers fooled him. In spite of his coaxing, in spite of his claims that Paderewski would be glad to have this instrument If ho only knew it was to be sold, in spite of his claim that the hired man would work for less per month if there was a piano furnished for evening diversion, this article of mirth and melody, worth double its cost in taking kinks out of the back after setlng out cauliflower plants all day, was knocked down for $2ka .
