A loud rapping on his hotel door in

Washington awakened the sleeping Vice-President to the startling news that the President had been mortally shot. Even before Andrew Johnson took the oath the next morning, strong men were laying plan3. with unseemly haste, to have him reverse Lincoln's policy toward the conquered South.

i Secretary Stanton turned directly

from the death bed to order the Imprisonment of Jacob Thompson, the fleeing Confederate emissary, whose arrest Lincoln had refused to sanction only the evening before, and he offered a reward for the capture of Jefferson Davis as an accomplice In the President's assassination. At the same time radical Republicans In caucus at Washington were bailing the change of leaders as a godsend. By the gods! there will be no trouble now in running the Government," exclaimed Senator Wade of

Ohio, as he grasped the hand of the new President. Meanwhile, as the Southern people saw this "poor white" of the South enthroned over them, they sank to a still lower level of despair than they had fallen when their armies surrendered. When Davis heard of the monstrous charge that he had conspired with Booth, he made the bitter retort that there was at least one man who knew it was not true; "Johnson knows that I would have preferred Lincoln to him." Power quickly cooled the vindicative passions kindled in Johnson by his long, bitter feud with the Southern leaders, and he returned to Lincoln's policy of reconciliation. Wisely, no one was punished for treason. Happily, vengeance for a great war was not wreaked on any individual. The radicals, who had secretly rejoiced in Johnson's accesion, turned upon him furiously. It was easy for them to excite the doubt of the North In this Southerner, and to estrange the Republicans from this Democrat For the first time even the sobriety of a President was called into question. Johnson's unfortunate condition at his inauguration as Vice-President had chocked Charles Sumner into starting a whispered discussion of his enforced resignation. When he became President his intemperance in speech lent color to exaggerated reports of his intemperance In drink. It is an unanswerable question in history whether even Lincoln could have mastered the rising opposition to him in Congress and restored the Union on the plan which he had adopted. That plan had small chance of success in Johnson's hands, with his lack of Lincoln's good-humored tact, modesty, forbearance and hold on the public confidence.

1865 April 15, Vice President Andrew Johnson took the oath as 17th President, aged 56. 1866 April Congress overrode his veto of the Civil Rights bill. A ug u at-September, h I "swing around the circle' November, Republican victory In Congressional elections.

For two years before Lincoln died, the radical leaders had been insisting that Congress, not the President should fix the terms of peace for the Southern States. They had angrily denounced him as a despot, an autocrat and a usurper, because of his policy of reconstruction. And Congress had persistently refused to admit the Senators and Representatives from the States which he had reconstructed on his liberal plan. There were patrlotlo men who honestly shrank from entrusting the liberty and welfare of the millions of freed slaves to the rule of their old masters. There also were calculating politicians who were troubled only by the thought that if the Southern States should have white governments, the votes of those States in Congress and the Electoral College would imperil the Republican party. The conflict between Lincoln and Congress was forced to an issue on the last day of the session in 1864, when Congress adopted a reconstruction plan of its own, under which it was to be the final judge of the State Governments in the South. But the President defeated the bill by a "pocket veto"; that is to say, he took no action on it before adjournment which left it lifeless. With the ending of the war, Lincoln was hoping to complete the work of reconstruction before Congress met again and could renew its interference with him. Instead, the assassin intervened, and when Johnson attempted to carry out the same policy, with approval of Lincoln's Cabinet, which he retained, Congress broke into open revolt. He appealed to the people to stand by him, but his "swing around the circle", as he described his tour of the East and Middle West in 1866, destroyed the last shred of his influence in the North. Face to face with hostile, jeering crowds, Johnson cast aside Presidential dignity and let loose the flery passions of the Tennessee mountaineer. General Grant, who unwillingly accompanied him, had to step forth to quiet a riotous crowd in Lincoln's own town of Springfield. The General recalled the disturbers to a sense of propriety

simply by waving his hand toward the target of their hoo tings and saying, "The President of the United States." In the presence of a still wilder mob at Indianapolis, Grant felt it prudent: to order the President to retreat For he had been greeted by a storm of bullets, but which were probably fired in the air. j Apart from the Republican politicians and a mere faction of extremists, the North was in favor of Lincoln's moderate policies. But when it became a question between Johnson and the radicals, the radicals won overwhelmingly in the Congressional election of 1866. With a two-thirds majority in the new House and Senate, the Republicans overrode the President's vetoes, and Congress took command of the Government. The reconstructed States were outlawed. The South was divided into military provinces. The ballot was thrust into the unskillful hand of the freedmen, notwithstanding it. was still denied the negro In all but six States of the North. At the same time a large class of Southern whites was disfranchised for disloyalty in the war, which left several States to pass under the corrupt Government of Northern "carpet baggers" and Southern "scalawags," who gained power by manipulating the ignorant black vote and who held it by force of Federal bayonets. As Northern flre eaters" pressed to the front, on one side of the Mason and Dixon line, Southern "fire eaters" took the lead on the other side. By night the Ku Klux Klan rode their sable horses in a campaign of terrorism to fright the blacks from using the ballot and from presuming to set themselves above "Old Massa." And the "bloody shirt" began to wave from the political stump In the North. Party and sectional politics, North and South, still was the marplot of the Union. As it had fostered disunion before the war, It was doing its worst to

prevent reunion, now that the war vas over.

American Bartenders Seek English Jobs LONDON, Sept. 13. .American bartenders are Invading England and getting jobs in the more pretentious bars and clubs frequented by young men because of their ability to mix cocktails. Older Englishmen still stick to their "scotch and soda" but the younger generation is getting the cocktail habit. One bartender when applying for a position at a big club told the secretary he could mix 500 different drinks.

The Englishman viewed him with that !

expression so familiar to Americans when they try to tell English folks of what a glorious country America Is, hut hired him anyhow. He has not run through his alleged repertoire yet but has made good.

GILBERT BOWLES TO GET HERE THURSDAY

'Gilbert Bowles, Friends' missionary to Japan, but who has recently attended the all Friends world conference in London, England, and was Japan's representative of the newly formed Japanese national council of the world alliance for promoting international friendship through the churches, which held its . conference in St Beatenburg, Switzerland, Aug. 25 to 28. will be at the home of Clarence Pickett 306 College avenue, Thursday. A letter received at the "Friends central offices from Mr. Bowles tells the purpose of the world alliance for promoting international friendship through the churches. r He writes: "The alliance Is not one of churches, but a federation of Individual Christians who seek through the various branches of the Christian church to do what they can to promote fellowship and mutual understanding, both within and beyond national and racial boundaries. "Inasmuch as the work of the conciliation and the promotion of amity is essentially a Christian task, it is expedient that the churches in all lands should use their Influence with the peoples, parliaments and governments of the world to bring about good and friendly relations between the nations. "As all branches of the Christian church are equally concerned in the maintenance of peace and the promotion of good feeling among all races, it is advisable for them to act in concert." About 23 countries cf the world were represented at the conference. J. Allen Baker, a member of the English parliament, but who died In 1918, was the first chairman of the alliance, and principal organizer, in 1914.

FARMER IS KILLED WHEN HE'S SHOT FROM AMBUSH ENGLISH, Ind.. Sept. 13. John Lawrence, 35 years old, a farmer, was shot and instantly killed at the home of his brother-in-law, John McFarland, three miles south of Eckerty, this morning at about 6 o'clock. The assassin is unknown, and the shot was fired at Lawrence from Ambush. An investigation of the shooting is being made by S. M. Cunningham, sheriff. It is believed that a feud may have been the cause of the slaying. Bloodhounds from Bedford are being employed by the sheriff in the hope of running down Lawrence's slayer. Lawrence, accompanied by his wife and children, had gone to the home of his brother-in-law before leaving for their new home at French Lick, where he had recently accepted a position.

Defeat of Representative Thetus Sims for renomlnatlon in Tennessee caused great surprise in Democratic circles and removed from the house an outstanding figure of twenty years. He

once was chairman of the Interstate

and foreign com

merce v committee, one of the biggest assignments in the

house. Although Sims always has been returned to the house by a large majority heretofore, his course has not been an easy one. One of Represent ative Mann's pet pastimes, when he was the Republican lead

er, seemed to be to stir up Sims, and hedid it as, only Mann could. Again, Sims and a Washington banker engaged in a set-to in one of the capital's parks and the banker was forced by the house to apologize. As chairman of his committee Sims carried a big load and came in for a 'lot of pulling and hauling. Still, In the terms of our great national pastime, although he was not always pitching shutout ball, he always was on the Job trying. Sims is the father-in-law of Louis Brownlow, commissioner of the District of Columbia, and one of President Wilson's closest personal friends.

IN addition to over a million farmer-owned automobiles, 18,000 farmer-owned trucks, and approximately 100,000 farm tractors, there are 519 motorized' - Express Companies doing business in the states served Dy the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and this number is growing day by day. ' Automotive Industries for 1920 declares "Trucks are operating on railroad schedules, and have proved more dependable, on a time basis, than the 6team roads have ever been. Their use to replace the freight car for certain classes of freight lias proved a marked success." The Smithsonian Institute, United States National Museum Bulletin 102, says, "In respect to prompt delivery of farm produce, whether to railways or directly to towns, the motortruck has an exceptionally useful opportunity.' It is these motor trucks, tractors and farmer - owned automobiles that are largely increasing gasoline consumption, particularly in the Middle West. During the first four months of 1920, the production of gasoline increased 134, while during the same period, domestic consumption of gasoline increased HVzyo. This excess of consumption over production has been a ' potent factor in the advance of gasoline prices, but the dominant underlying reason has been the increase in the cost of crude oil. The service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) lies in manufacturing and distributing to the tractor, the truck, and the automobile a dependable supply of gasoline and lubricating oils, and selling them at a fair price. The latest refinery methods are producing a continually increasing percentage of gasoline from each barrel of crude oil. While large-scale production and distribution assure maximum . economy in this industry, the savings effected by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) are utilized to hold down gasoline prices despite the rising tide of demand for petroleum products.
