He's an intellectual young man, with

And his ways are those OF leisure

For any one who sports and wears dia-

Now bow do | know il it's true?
But he says Il can take off my coat

Whether he did Or not, don't know

Sparkling eyes as the glass in atran-

This gets me when you ask his occupa-

For, really. how can l tell?
He keeps no position any length of du-

But he's one of the dudes and a swell.
He came home for dinner one day, and

Near where he sits with his tick

He likes to sport, like the rest of the

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-03-19

The first undertaking of the newly or
ganized Gaspee Chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution is so
patriotic in design and of such broad
possibilities in its scope as to call for the
heartiest support of all citizens.
1t is the tendency of the time to un-
dervalue, not our national position or
achievements, but the eignificance of
our national history. We acquiesce, to
some extent, in the ignorant and non
sympathetic estimate placed upon us as
a nation by European nations, or at
least we seldom make emphatic pro-
test against it. We suffer our
children to grow up thinking of their
country, as taught by newspaper cyni-
cism and miscellaneous literature, as a
great. raw, rich agglomeration, good to
belong to as basic supply of creature
comforts, but rather to be ashamed of
from finer standpoints. We let them
look abroad for romance and for history
and, assimilating themselves to foreign
models, affect fine scorn of America
and Americanisms.
1t is the especial function of organiza-
tions like the Daughters of the American
Revolution to counteract this tendency;
to teach not only love Of country but
pride of country; to awaken an
interest in American history and Ameri-
can tradition; to keep green the memory
of American heroes, and TO foster respect
for the relics Of past rs glorious in
achievement as the future is bright in
promise.
The project of State Loan Exhibi-
tion of articles of Colonial and Revolu-
tionary interest is one therefore that
should be met with cordial co-opera-
ton. Such exhibitions in other States,
notably in Virginia, have awakened
the greatest interest and have proved of
immense historical value. No part of
the country can be richer in relics
of the heroic period of the
struggle for independence than
Rhode Island, and, in response to
the loyal effort of the Gaspee chapter
and the hearty seconding of the Rhode
Island Historical Society, no effort
should be spared make showing worthy
of the little States great record. The
collection will be one to which any citi-
zen may well be proud to contribute,
and it should be swollen to noble pro.
portions.

1t is easy TO make promises, but some
times very difficult to fulfil them.
When seeking the suffrages of Provi-
dence electors last fall, Mayor William
X. Potter, knowing that he could not
possibly be elected without the "liquor
vote" secured that vote by promising to
appoint as excise commissioner a man
satisfactory to the saloon element.
This transaction came to the ears of
some of those members of the Demo
cratic party who do not believe in pan
dering to the saloon vote, or in practi-
cally resigning to liquor sellers the
power to enforce the laws against them
selves. These old-fashioned Democrats
asked Mr.. Potter if he had made prom
ises to the liquor sellers. He replied
that he had not.
And now the dilemma: Mr. Potter
can reward the publicans and disgust
the respectable element in his party; or
he can preserve his reputation with
the latter by breaking his word to the
former.
Isn't it about time for the Legislature.
by devising some more enlightened
method of naming excise commissioners,
to place Mayoralty candidates beyond
the temptation to make such unholy
alliances and relieve them from such
embarrassing dilemmas?

The NEWS has been having lots of fun
about the bill of $40 which Democratic
candidate Wardwell, while Lieutenant
bovernor, charged for services and eX-
penses OF trip 10 Washington TO bring
back a large check payable 10 the State OF
Rhode Island. Some of the features OF
the case are somewhat amusing, espec-
tally the yarn that part of the expense
was due to the eX-Lieutenant Governor
being accompanied for protection-by his
li-ltaf-Olu QHtRnfpf Anu Ilon, Tor an
apostle OF economy in public expenditure,
1t was rather large bill, in view of the
TACT that the natural expense OF such
trip, by salaried official, would not ex-
ceed $50, which estimate we have on the
authority of one who has held several
Offices in the gift of the people and is now

Lot the people believe that Dr. Andrews is to get

DIR. Andrews has positively asserted that

for the Hon. Nelson w. Aldrich. As the
people believe the reverend gentleman
truthfuI, the inference follows that the
Record does not believe Democratic sue
cess sure. And this CONCLUSION is greatly
TO its credit. The name of DIR. Andrews,
ike that OF Gen. Olney Arnold, Is used
as mask TO conceal the real aspirants,
as Gen. Arnold, too, has repeatedly de-
clared that he would not accept the
honor. Mayor Honey of Newport and
Charles III. Page of Sctuate are the chief
contestants for the position. The latter
has the support of Carroll, Brennan and
Nardwell, and, in the event of Democratic
control of the grand committee-an event
that is not probable--Page would carry
