MRS. MCLEAN ELECTED.
Victor After Eight Years, She Counsels
Harmony.

Washington, D. c., (SpeciaD.--Mrs'
Donal Mclean, a native of Maryland
after a contest lasting more than elght
years was elected Presdent-General OF
the National Society of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution. The vote on
the second ballot was 362 for Mrs. Nc
Lean and $50 for Mrs. Sternberg.
When the vote was announced the del
gates cheered, leaping to their feet, wav'
ing handkerchiefs and some in the excite
ment leaped upon chairs and threw their
arms wildly in the air.
Mrs. Sternberg, the defeated candidate,
obtained the attention of the delegates,
and in a few words of thanks to those
who had worked and voted for her
moved that the election of Mrs. NC
Lean be made unanimous. Mrs. Lippltt,
who Withdrew from the race after the
first ballot, seconded the motion. Then
the excitement reached its height.
Mrs. Fairbanks put the motion and
when the yeas were called the tumult
shook the building. The nays were then
called and, to the surprise OF all and the
establishment of the two unsuccessful
candidates. several voices in the rear
of the hall voted in the negative That
was the signal for hitherto unwltnessed
scene in the Congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. There was
a storm ofthisses from the floor and from
the galleries.
Mrs. Fairbanks stood with gavel up
raised. look of establishment and disbe-
lief on her face. She raped loudly tor
order, and when the noise had somewhat
subsidized she said:
at i'll becomes a member of the Ma
tional Society of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution to show such poor
taste. The President General-elect has
won a good fight, and it is not worthy
of Daughter to show her ill-teellng and
animosity at time when the defeated
candidates ask that the election be de-
clared unanimous. / hope the mem
bers who voted in the negative will with
| draw their votes"
There was no further demonstration
on the part of the dissatisfied ones, and
Mrs. Mclean was escorted to the plat
| form.
To those acquainted with the bitter
ness of the fight which has been carried
on in the ranks of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution through the last
eight years the meeting of the leaders
Of the two opposing factions was OF de-
sided interest. After years OF victory,
Mrs. Fairbanks was defeated. She was
welcoming as her successor the foe whom
she had fought for SO many years. Mrs.
| Mclean was triumphant and eager to
take the gavel from the hands OF the
noted woman she had vanqulshed. Yet
the bows of acknowledgment and the
grasp of the hand did not indicate any
| feeling between these women. Mrs' FAR
banks, cool and collected, with grave
| face; Mrs. Mclean, smiling, triumphant
and with emotion visibly suppressed
they stood for the moment and gazed
intently into each others eyes. Then,
with a smile, Mrs. Fairbanks turned to
the congress and introduced Mrs. Nc.
Lean as the President General-elect OF
the National Society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution.

A NOTABLE EXAMPLE.

We see it stated that President
Theodore Roosevelt is paying his
own expenses in that bear hunt
ont West, including his railroad
fare. If this be true its n notable cx.
ample and worthy of the highest
praise. Heretofore. after being
installed in office, when a Prcsi.
dent left the Whitcholse, an ap.
preparation was forthcoming. It's a
matter Of record that one eX-Presi-
dent made tour of the world. af-
ter being President eight years, and
the people paid the bill. The ac-
ceptancc of fdyors from the treasu.
~ to pay the expenses of pleasure
trips on the part of public officials
has become so common that it is
looked upon as an evil to be toler.
ated and not condemned.
1t is true that. viewed from a
financial standpoint, Tcddy's trip
is not paying venture. Half.a-
dozen grizzlies, a few coyotes and Il
snake, if put upon the market an d
sold, wouldn't pay the expenses of
the party's trip thru one State.
But he has had lots of fun and the
blood Of beasts, the sound of tn @
bugle horn, the excitement of the
chase and the delightful peal of
rife tends to allay the frenzy for
war, and makes Teddy more ami
cable and ideal like.
At any rate. we gladly credit
Teddy with some common sense,
some sense Of decency, and with
the possession Of some real Amer.
can manhood. High officials in the
various departments Of government
national, state and municipal, are
responsible largely for the graft,
scandal and corruption which are
making mockery of representa-.
tive government Teddy has done
well in this respect. Now, on his
return from the hunting grounds
Of the West, he has chance to 90
down in history as one ofthe great
est of our Presidents.
