President by the people and for a term
of seven years with ineligibility for re-
election. He opposed the requirement
Of a property qualification for voters
and also opposed the plan to make
slaves equal to freemen for purposes of
representation in Congress. He re-
fused to sign the Constitution as
adopted, and fought against its ratifi-
cation by Virginia.
In the Virginia convention to ratify
the Constitution Mason led the opposi-
tion and standing with him were Pat
rick Henry, James Monroe, Benjamin
Harrison and William Grayson. The
leaders for ratification were John
Marshall, Edmund Randolph, Richard
Henry Lee, George Washington and
James Madison, yet so great was Ma
sons influence that in 16S votes, the
majority for ratification was only ten
and this majority was obtained only
after the required number of States
had already adopted the Constitution.

ExDert Naval Testimony.

When Dick Thompson, of Indiana,
was called to the Cabinet as Secretary
Of the Navy it is said that he had
never even been on large vessel. One
Of his earliest visits was made to an
informal inspection on a large man
of-war, lying at the Navy Yard. He
climbed up on the deck, was escorted
around the vessel, admired and COM
plimented the beauty and cleanliness Of
it all and finally peered down the hold.
He looked back at the officer, took off
his glasses, wiped them, looked down
again and then finally turned to the
commander and exclaimed, "Why the
things hollow!"

They simply huddled forward to the
fence. The line was not reformed.
Then the President spoke to the South,
ignoring the crowd behind him. he
spoke only to the wearers of the gray.
He spoke as the President Of a re-
united country. His voice seemed as
the voice of nation speaking to the
followers of Lee.
The veterans devoured every vigor-
Gus syllable of the Presidents address.
They returned his earnest gaze with
looks of unmistakable good will and
loving friendship. Somewhat abruptly

that part of Virginia at the time Of
its building, and is as well preserved

Several years after the war Gunston
Hall in dilapidation was acquired by
Colonel Edward Daniels, a Northern
man. The place was partially restored
by him. Colonel Daniels in the days Of

George Mason was the Sage Of Guns

and correspondence with Washington
drew up the non-importation resolu-

Speaker Cannon, whom everybody

story one day when he wished to EN-

may be deceived by half-truth:
A man rented house, but after look

agent with a complaint.

TRUTH" he stormed, "but you haven't
told me the whole truth. There's that
lawn, for instance!"
Really, SIR" protested the agent, 81

lawn, and very nice lawn it is"
'"Oh, yes," went on the kicker. "You
told me there was a lawn. but you
didn't tell me that the nearest owner
of a lawn-mower lived two miles away!
