stops at the gates of Mount Vernon.
BY this route there is no more climbing
the steep hill from the wharf but the
visitor enters the grounds at the foot
of the western lawn and walks up q
long tagged path through the trees
to the near side Of the old mansion.
Probably 200 people had entered the
historic grounds on the day the writer
was there and the latter from among
that crowd picked out not less than a
dozen bridal couples. 1t is not given
to the average visitor to the home OF
Washington to see all the beauties of
the place. Much less can he know the
details Of the home life of the great
proprietor or understand the splendor Of
his former environment. The visitor
goes through the old mansion. He
looks into the little, stuffy rooms with
their odd and incongruous mixture of
old and up-to-date furniture. He gazes
at the elegant and extremely modern
tinted and gold frescoes, at the rich
ana DTllIanJ PerSlan rugs with which
the ladies of the association have COW
cred the floors, and he finds it difficult
to imagine this the home of the immor-
tai Washington. To most visitors it
seems great pity that there has been
such an effort made to impress the pub
lie with the fact that Washington led a
luxurious life by means of the rich and
modern trappings they have smuggled

Washington's life at Mount Vernon was

hundreds Of negroes. including arti-
sans and mechanics of all kinds, by the
wealth of his hospitality and the may-
nificence of his military and official
career. There were no freScoes of gilt
and tints in Washington's day-no wall
paper, even. There was nothing but
whitewashed walls and ceilings. Nor
were there any Darghestan rugs or Ak
minister carpets.

So far as can be learned, the accident was
due to the negligence OF tho engineer. 1t
is stated that when tho train started on
the incline he made no attempt to check
its speed by the use of the air brakes. Had
these brakes failed work, the momentum
could have been checked with the hand

they heard no whistle for the application
of the hand brakes.

Citizens-Read this: Eastern manufacturers

pering our business The crisis cannot be kept

republic. We tax certain foreign goods. Why
not protect ourselves against the east
DAVID b. JAMES.
James is a California pioneer He said
"We have no chance without we establish
a separate republic and tax the east, 1t
can be done without the firing OF gun,
and 10 will mean prosperity TO the masses.
We can produce every thing ,we need right
here, and the states west OF the Rocky
mountains ought to be conferred into one
vast empire
I'VE do not want the east to interfere
with us or legislate for us, because our In.
terests are widely different. They do not
understand our Chinese or Japanese prob.
lens, nor do they understand many other
questions peculiar to u.s.

nually; we produce everything needed in
the entire range of human consumption,
and II we can only escape from the east
ern importations, which are favored by
tho railroads. we will havo prosperous
times and work for all our idle people as
well as for those unborn.
"Our only connection with the east
need be in case of war. We could have
offensive and defensive treaties, and there
would never be any trouble between the
two sections. 1t would still be America
