Washington, English Royalists and the
original Washington immigrants.
The Mason family was originally Of
Warwaickshire and there are many
Mason memorials in the Church of the
Holy Trinity at Stratford-on-Avon
Colonel George Mason, the first, was,
however, not Warwaickshire man,
but was born in Staffordshire. One of
his fellow Royalist refugees to Amer
lea was Gerard Fowke, of Gunston, a
hamlet in Staffordshire. The old Eng
lish Gunston Hall was standing few
years ago, and was owned by the Gift
fords, descendants of the same Giffords
who were Royalists with Fowke and
Mason, and who owned Boscobel, near
Gunston, where Charles III. lay in con-
cealment after the battle of Worcester.
The commonwealth commander at
Worcester was General Fairfax, and it
was a strange fate that made descen-
ant of this man neighbor to the Wash
ingtons of Mount Vernon and the
Masons of Gunston Hall Belvoir, the
Fairfax estate, lay Immediately be-
tween Gunston and Mount Vernon
The first American Mason and
Fowke settled in the northern neck Of
Virginia, but Fowke later removed to
Maryland. George Mason, the second,
married Mary Fowke, daughter of Ger
ard Fowke. and they built home in
Maryland, which they called Gunston
Hall, in memory of the English Guns
ton. These people were grandparents
of George Mason, the fourth, or George
Mason, one Of the republics founders.
In 1850 this man married Anne Eilbeck
of Mattawoman, Maryland, and soon
after his marriage began the erection
of Gunston Hall, Virginia, which he
named after his grandparents place in
Maryland and the ancestral home of
the Fowkes in Staffordshire.
Mason was one of the vestrymen of
Pohick Church. four miles from Guns
ton. Washington and William Fairfax
were also vestrymen there.

ROOSEVELT IN DIXIE.
President Speaks to the Followers
of Lee.

President Roosevelts recent tour
through the South was one continuous
ovation from the people Of Dixie. In
fact his visit has been heralded as be-
ing as triumphant as the return Of
any Roman emperor. Dixie was cap
ured by the Rough Rider President.
At Richmond, the old Confederate
Capital, the greeting extended to him
was unusually cordial. After much
parading and speech-making, the Pres
ident was taken for a drive through
the residence section. In the center of
this section is the great equestrian
statue of General Robert e. Lee. At
this point occurred a scene of the Pres
idents visit which will probably be
remembered when all others have
faded into. oblivion.
Surrounding the Lee monument Is
an iron fence, inclosing a circle Of
lawn. The crowd was thicklv grouped
around this circle. Inside, standing
upon the base of the monument and
wandering about upon the lawn were
seventy-fve broken, tottering old men.
clad in gray and carry small Con-
ederate flags. Many hobbled upon
crutches, and nearly all leaned upon
canes. Here and there an arm or a
leg was missing. The voices of the old
men were low, and they paid no heed
to the crowd around them. They
We're waiting for the President of the
United States, he was to drive past
the monument. From time to time a
little, old man climbed upon a pedi-
ment and stood, like the very incar-
nation Of the Lost Cause, shading his
eyes and gazing toward the coming
Of the great, the powerful, the world
renowned successor of Lincoln and
Grant.
1t was such a sight as this which
greeted the President when his car
rage dashed up to the monument
Before the old men realized it, the
President was facing them and shout
ing, "Come closer" With confused ex-
carnations the old men hobbled for
ward, with small pretense of march

lis a plain and distinct result Of their
mode of life.
The Japanese people are strong be-
cause they live as the human animal
must live to be mentally and physi-
cally strong-next to nature.
They breathe the fresh air.
They eat plain food.
They neither starve nor ego.
They are mentally and physically
active.
They are an "out of door" people.
They Understand the laws Of health,
and obey them.
Their children draw their strength
from the bosom of mother earth.
And above and beyond all, they are
a nation Of homes and home owners.
Each family is in a home and each
home is in garden where health and
strength are gained by the labor of
cultivating that garden for a living,
And in these garden homes the peo-
pie of Japan have far more of real
pleasure and happiness and the genu-
inc enjoyments of life than the aver
age wage worker In our country.

old marching orders in their confusion.
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 a 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
the President stopped, waved his hat,
1t was to them like the balm of Gilead.
and shouted, "Good-by, and good
luck"
"Good-by, good-by," they shouted,
and a moment later President Roose.

President by the people and for 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 1913 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.
OF a Famous Family.
The first American Mason was George
Mason, great-grandfather Of Mason of
Gunston. He was a commander of a
troop OF horse at the battle Of Wor-

cause, as did Colonel John Washington,

"a hundred years hence, leaving
China out of the question, there will
be two colossal lowers in the world,
beside which Germany, England,
France, and Italy will be as pygmies-
the United States and Russia"
If any one had told Emile de La
veleye, when he made this prophecy,
some years ago, that within a few.
years the power of Russia on the sea
would be annihilated, and her land
forces defeated again and again by the
pygmy nation Of Japan, would he
have believed it?
No, neither he nor any one else, at
that time, would have credited it.
The incredible, the unbelievable, has
actually happened. There is no result
without cause. What is the underly-
ing cause Of this marvellous strength
of Japan?
1t is not in battle ships or siege guns
not In torpedo boats or field artillery
not in arms or armor-not in NUM-
lions of war or equipment for battles
on land or sea. Russia had all these,
and yet she has suffered crushing, hui
initiating, and overwhelming defeat.
What, then, is the secret Of Japan's
strength?
Efficiency of the Unit.
1t is in just one thing, and that is
men!
1t is in the efficiency of the unit.
1t is in the physical and mental pow
erin the health, strength, and intelli-
gence of the Japanese people as a
whole, and as a consequence, Of every
individual soldier and sailor.
And this physical and mental eff
cheney of an entire people-of the en-
tire citizenship Of the Japanese nation

whole truth, and farther how a man
may be deceived by half-truth:
A man rented house, but after look
ing at it went back to the real estate
agent with complaint.
"You profess to have told me the
TRUTH" he stormed, "but you haven't
told me the whole truth. There's that
