4 WORD WITH DEMOCRATS.

Every man is responsible for his
influence, he 1t small or great. Every
democrat who votes for Parker votes to
defeat Roosevelt. Every democrat
who does not vote for Parker contrib
utes toward the election of Roosevelt.
On eva-y question upon which Judge
Parker's position is open 10 criticism,
President Rooseyelt's position is worse;
where they differ, as they do on many
important questions, Parker is right
and Roosevelt is wrong.
Roosevelt tavors u high tariff, Parker
favors tariff reform. Roosevelt favors
Il standing army of G0,000 at the
minimum; Parker fnvors Il reduction Of
the army.
Roosevelt has brought the race Issue
into national politics; Parker would
remove the race issue from politics.
Roosevelt stands for Il colonial policy;
Eilipinos and would make the promise
now.
Roosevelt took into the white house
Il spirit Of war; Judge Parker would
substitute for it a spirit of peace.
Fonr years more of Roosevelt would
make economic and industrial reforms
more difficult; Judge Parker's election
would cleur the way for economic is.

against Parker or by refusing to vote,

George Washington.

George Washington was born Feb
22nd 1882 on the lower Potomac River
He was a good boy to his mother. His
mother was Mary Ball and his father
Augustine Washington.
In his boyhOod he was fond of Mathe-
NAUTICAL studies and athletic sports. He
was always methodical in his habits
careful. exact. and thorough in all he
did. In his boyhood he was a born
leader OF boys and in his manhood he
was equally a leader of men.
He had the best education the times
afforded and he learned land surveying
When he was sixteen he was engaged
by Lord Fairfax in surveying his wild
tracts of land which ran across the Blue
Ridge and through the Shenandoah Val
ley. 1t was a severe task but was ac-
complished in safety and established his
reputation as a surveyor. At nineteen
he was appointed adiutant general in
the Virginia army, at twenty-one Wash
ington was appointed colonel and was
second in command of the Virginia
forces. at the age of twenty-three he
was placed in full command of the Nir-
ginia militia. He was commander-in
chief of all the forces for the defence OF
liberty. He was in the battle of Mon
mouth and Trenton.

George Washington.

George Washington was born FEBRUARY
the twenty second 1882
His birthplace is near the Potomac
river. Mr.. Washington had an excel
lent character. He was brave, dutiful,
and affectionate; Always methodical in
his habits. careful, exact, and thorough
in all he did. At the age of sixteen he
was engaged by Lord Fairfax to survey
his large tract of land; At nineteen he
was adjutant generald of the Virginia
army;
At twentyone he was promoted to be
colonel; and was placed in full COM
mand of the Virginia forces. Although
he had many trials to bear and many
hardships to endure, he bore them all
with great patience, and by so doing he
gained the victory in the battle fields.
When our new constitution was adopt
ed, Washington was unanimously elect
ed President. He held this office for two
terms. and in the meantime he did
many noble things which proved bene-
fetal to our country.
Washington displayed the highest
qualities as a leader of men.
As statesman he shrank from nc
duty. His courage, physical, mental
and moral, knew no fear.
His fame was bounded by no coun-
try, and will be limited to no age"
