TXC2 TWO THE GASTONIA DAILY GAZETTE WEDNESDAY; JULY 21, 1922. 1 Five Minute Chats on Our Presidents By JAMES MORGAN (Copyrlxht. 1120. by Jaraet Morgan.)

JAMES BUCHANAN was the last president to wrap his neck in a stock, as Monroe was the last to wear knee-breeches and he was thj la.t of an era. An ape passed away as he passed out of the Whit House. After Buchanan's birth at a I'enn irrlvanla Iosr cabin, his father, who was an Irish Immigrant, prospered as a country storekeeper and was able to send hla son to college.

This would be but a dull story of law and politics were It not for a single tragic episode which fast a shadow over the whole after life of our bachelor president, the only presi dent to die a bachelor. A young wom an, to whom Buchanan was engaged In early manhood, a daughter of the wealthiest family In the county, wrote him a letter of dismissal under the spell of a Jealousy which had been aroused by gossips.

In grief and horror, the young 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 returned to him unopened. Four and forty years passed, and Buchanan went to his grave without erer 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 pack et of treasured love letters from his sweetheart of long ago. But in ac cordance with the request written on the outside, those fudec! mementoes of his only love were burned wit hunt breaking the seal .m them. Buchanan was by no means a crab bed old b:n helor. Me remained al ways most courteously attentive to women, though with a perfeet impar tiality. Nor did he keep ha. helor'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 of the $ White House. '(After Burhanan had risen to top 'rank at the Pennsylvania bar, with a practice that brought him as much . r 412.000 In a year, he entered poli tl?i. Starting as a Federalist, he be tam)r a Democrat only at the death of. the party of his first choice. He wan elected to the legislature and to Congress; was thrive elected to the senate; served as minister to Russia and Great Britain and was secretary of state In Polk's cabinet. For 20 years an unsuccessful can didate for the presidential nomina tion, the veteran politician had all hot liven np hope whin at last It came to him unsought In 1856 on his return from a long absence as Ameri can miniater in London. As he ac cepted it, he sighed that the honor had - been denied him until he was too old tp enjoy it, "when all the friends I lored and wanted to reward are dead. J4 all Vm enemies I bated and had marked for punishment are turned my trtenda. 1857 March 4, James Buchanan inaugurated 15th presi dent, aged sixty-five. March 5, Dred Scott de cision. 1859 Aug. 5, Completion of At lantic cable. Oct. 16, John Brown's raid. 1861 Feb. 4, the Southern Con federacy formed. March 4, Buchanan retired from the presidency. 1868 June 1, died at Wheat, land, Pa., aged seventy-seven. B ECAUSE the drama of history, like that of the theater, must have its heroes and villains, James Buchanan has been painted all black In the opening scene of the Civil war, loaded down with all the weaknesses and sins of his generation and ban ished forever into the wilderness. Any one can see now, with the aid of hind sight, what Buchanan should have done, but not what he could have done. The North Itself, in the bewildering winter of 1800-61 was far from agreed that secysslon could or should be stopped by force. "Let the Union sjide," the abolitionists said. "Let the erring Jirethren go," said Horace Gree ley, "Wayward sisters, depart in peace," General Scott would have said I to the seceding states, . J In common with the politicians ef I his fast vanishing time Buchanan clung to the idea that freedom rathei than slavery was to blame for all thf trouble. He had not gone with Doug- las and the northern wing of the di vided Democrats in the campaign ef 1800, but had sided with the southern ers and voted for Breckinridge. When the first state seceded he was But Declares Tanlac Helped Him More Than Treatments Here, In Europe and In South America - Can Now Do a Day's Work. 'I have been treated for indigent inn in Krame, Italy, Switzerland, North and fcouth America and in fact all over the world, but Tanlac is the only thing 1 have ever found to do me much -good, " said H. L. Kinniger. watch maker for Nathan Dohramann & Co., San Francisco, Cal., living af .'iti T'lato St. "Always after eating," continued Mr. Kinniger, "I would have such cramps in my stomach that I could hardly stand it. I Tiad fallen off until I weighed only iiTileTy eight pounds and was so nervous the least little thing would upset me. I eon M sleep but little and got up in the I mornings feeling all fagged out.

' Besides taking everything "n the way of treatments and medicines I tried dieting and the rest cure, but never got more than :i little passing relief. "The nay Tanlac brought me out is marwhiiM.

WILL FIGHT PROFITEERING IN WOMAN'S GARMENT INDUSTRY NKW YORK, July in t he u omen 's ga rineiit !1 . Profiteering industry will be I fought with union owned shops, factories 'and stores by the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. This became known here today when officials of the union announced that it has a committee at work luviuir the foun- already within ten weeks of the end , ,afio for tho firK, , of ow , factories, which are expected to be in op of his term, with a hostile congress In ', '-. . . .'' . . -: eration by next spring.

I The union r iposes to sell its output to consumers through their own stores. The first gr,,up of six factories will bo es' a bi ism- ! ::i New York, together witli a number of union stores, union otlicia! said. Others will be located in Chicago ami Philadelphia. Ample tuuds for the factories have . been provided by (lie international union, I Mr. S hlesinger said, and later as more Harriet Lane. front of him anil behind him a country as irresolute as himself. As he saw the Union falling to pieces he hopec on thut it could be patched togethei again by another old-fashioned com promise. All the while there wen southern members of his cabinet whe were staying in Washington only tc ship federal war supplies south anc to aid In the preparations for destroy Ing the government. Edwin M. Stanton of Ohio, althougt himself a Breckinridge Democrat bluntly warned Buchanan: "You ar sleeping on a volcano. The ground li mined all around and under yon ant ready to explode, and without prompt and energetic action you will be tht last president of the United States." "Mr. Stanton," pleaded the feebU old man. "for God's suke;omc in anr help me." The first lay that Stanton took hi. seat at Buchanan's cabinet table he told the serretary of war, Floyd ol Virginia, that he "ought to be hanger on a gallows higher than Hainan's" foi having ordered Major Anderson, witJv out the knowledge of the president to stay in a defenseless old fort al Charleston harbor instead of trans forring himself to Fort Sumter, as th major done in defiance of orders Before me middle of January th( cabinet was reorganized and Buchanan was surrounded by stanch Union men who swept him along at a pace whicfc sometimes left him breathless. Thf new secretary of the treasury. John A Pix, quietly reported one day that h had sent to New Orleans his now famous message: "If any man at tempts to haul down the Americac flag shoot him on the spot." "Did you write such a letter as that?" Buchanan exclaimed. . "No," Dix replied. "I telegraphed it" Had Buchanan been a man of Iron Instead of putty, probably he could have done no good In that chaotic Interregnum between the election and Inauguration of his successor. If he had taken any step which should hav hastened Virginia and Maryland inte revolt there would have been no na tional capital on March 4, 1861.

''We expect to be turning out medium ami high priced garments for the spring trad!," A. HarofT, secretary of the union, said. "'The first factories will probably employ about 1,0(10 workers, t be selected by the union.'' They will pay higher wages than are paid by employers in the garment industry and a seven hour work clay will be in effect, lie added. The workers now work an eight-hour clay with a half holiday on Saturday.
