LEGAL NOTICE
Five Minutes with Our Presidents
By JAMES HARRIET Niece of President Buchanan and d Mistress of the White House. Niece of President Buchanan an No president has come to the discharge of his official duties with a longer official training than James Buchanan, who had been 40 years in the legislative, executive or diplomatic service. Yet no other has left behind him such a record of failure. Only a great leader might have succeeded in those most difficult times when Buchanan failed. And office holding does not, can not make a leader. Were not Washington and Lincoln among the least experienced in statecraft of all the men who have entered the presidency Like the other presidents of his futile generation, Buchanan was chos en not to lead on the slavery question, but to mislead. He was selected because he had been on the other side of the ocean for three years while the politicians at home had been making bad records for themselves. Besides, he was nominated in the hope that he could carry his own state of Pennsylvania against the swiftly rising Republican party under General Fremont, In the political contests before the civil war, Pennsylvania was In truth the Keystone state. Holding its state election in October, whichever party carried it that month w-as almost certain to sweep on to a victory in the country at large in November. That is why Buchanan was nominated, and that is how he was elected. The new captain, always an irresolute character, at once surrendered the steering wheel to the most extreme faction in the south. Thenceforth he remained a helpless, bewildered passenger on the ship of state as it was hurled upon one rock after another In this most tragio administration. First came the Dred Scott decision the very day after Buchanan's inauguration, when the supreme court held that all compromises were unlawful,, that all political agitation for tho restriction of slavery was in vain, and that an owner had the same right to take a drove of slaves as a drove of horses into any state in the union. That decree left the Republicans and the Douglas Democrats as well appealing from the judgment of the court of last resort, with battle the only remaining tribunal. And the Lincoln-Douglas Debate of 1858 heralded the impending, irrepressible conflict. The fuse of civil war already had been lighted in Kansas and it continued to sputter throughout Buchanan's term. At last, it exploded a blast closo by Washington itself, when John Brown, of Ossawattomie carried the Kansas war to Harper's Ferry, then in Virginia, in the wild dream of inciting the slaves themselves to revolt against their masters. A peaceable political solution of the problem having been declared impossible by the supremo court fanatics naturally came to the front and tried to settle it by violence. A. F. OF L. NAMES FAIR DELEGATE TO BRITISH CONGRESS Bin. Sarah A. CorSoy. Sarah A. Conboy, eecretarytreasurer of the United Textile Workers of America, has been elected by the American Federation of Labor as one of their two delegates to the British Trades Union Congress-which convenes in Portsmouth, jSnland, September 6. Mrs. Conboy is the only woman in America holding a position in the labor unions of so much importance and she is the only woman ever elected as a delegate from the American Federation of L'Abor.

MORGAN
LANE Mistress of the White House. 1857 March 4, James Buchanan Inaugurated 15th President, aged 65. March 5, Ored Scott decision. 1853 Lincoln-Douglas Debate. 1859 August 5, Completion of the Atlantic Cable. October 16 John Brown's raid. by "direct action." as it is called today. Although the Buchanan administration was the undertaker of a dead past, its sombre record is lit up by the first flash of the submarine telegraph cable. The conservative president was eo doubtful of this new thing that ho suspected the message of greeting to him from Queen Victoria might be a hoax. Before venturing to reply, ho cautiously summoned all the members of his cabinet. Against the advice of some of them he took a chance and finally sent his response to the queen. Soon afterward the cable broke and as not another message came under the sea for eight years, the skeptics felt Justified in their jeers at the wild absurdity of the invention. RAIL RATElNCREASE CERTAIN TO FOLLOW NEW PAY SCHEDULE WASHINGTON, July 21. Federation of Labor officials here are confident the railway employes will accept for the time being at least the wage advance granted them in Chicago today in preference to striking, and the public shortly will be requited to foot the bill, included in the biggest single advance of transportation fates ever granted American railroads. It is regarded as a roregone conclusion that passenger rates will be boosted throughout the country in addition to the largest Increase of freight rates on record. An aggregate advance of between 30 to 40 per cent in passenger and freight rates combined Is expected, making tho total advance of rail tariffs since 1914 in exce6s of 70 per cent. To Share Burden. With the $600,000,000 wage advance today the pay of rail employes has been increased approximately $1,600,000,000 since the beginning of the war period. ' Without reference to the advance of wages the railroads have asked tha interstate commerce commission to authorize a 28 per cent freight rate raise. Those who have followed tb.3 pending proceedings in this case pronounce it a certainty that passenger traffic now will be required to share the burden of the pay raise. The railway executives' rate committee will meet here tomorrow to consider the extent of the passenger rate advance to be asked of the commission. An increase from 3 cents per mile to Zt cents per mile is expected. One proposal is that passenger rates on western roads be boosted to 4 cents per mile and those in the east to 3 cents. Probable Settlement Of Irish Question Seen (By Associated Press) LONDON, July 21. The Sinn Fein and the British government are prepared to discuss, if they are not already discussing, a basis of probable settlement of the Irish question, according to a statement recorded by the Daily Mail's Dublin correspondent, who says the Irish political circles where this report is current are usually well informed about important moves at Westminster. Both Sinn Fein and Labor leaders In Dublin are very busy, adds the correspondent, and important statements ore expected to be made at Thursday's debate in the house of commons. DIES FROM EXERTION.

An organizer for the Chicago Yardmen's association, the outlaw union which recently promoted a strike, tying up transportation In the middle west, met with a rebuff here the other evening, when he endeavored to interest local railway employes in the organization.
