Craze of
George
Mason

Washington, English Royalists and tie
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 a 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 II. 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.

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

President Roosevelt's 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
ldent was taken for a drive through
the residence section. In the center of
tnls section is the great equestrian
statue OF General Robert e. Lee. At
this point occurred scene of the Pres
ldents visit which will probably be
remembered when all others have
faded into oblivion.
Surrounding the Lee monument ia
an iron fence, inclosing a circle of
lawn. The crowd was thickiy 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 e 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
were 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
riage 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
ing. They had almost forgotten the

is 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 go-ge.
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 a garden where health and
strength are gained by the labor of
cultivating that garden for 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.

UNCLE JOE CANNON'S ADVICE.
Never Keep Back Anything, But Al
ways Tell the Whole Truth.

Speaker Cannon, whom everybody
calls Uncle Joe." told the following
story one day when he wished to en-
phasize the necessity for telling the
whole truth. and farther how 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
lawn, for instance!"
Really, SIR" protested the agent, 81
distinctly remember describing the
lawn, and a very nice lawn it is"
"Oh, yes" went on the kicker. "You
told me there was lawn. but you
didn't tell me that the nearest owner
of lawn-mower lived two miles away!
Where am to borrow a lawn-mower,
sir? Answer me thati"

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 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 thu requirement
of 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.
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-

Expert 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
plimentei 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

HISTORIC GUNCTON HALL.

American History Made Beneath Its

Tom Watson, of Georgia, author of
a Life of Thomas Jefferson" is re-

Virginia, Is miles from Washington,
and which was from 1850 to 1892 the
home of George Mason, friend and ad-
wiser of Thomas Jefferson, George
Washington, James Madison and Pat
rick Henry. The house is preserved
and few rods from it is the grave of
Mason. The pyramidal piece of gran

his grave and is inscribed:

"a hundred years hence, leaving
China out of the question, there will
be two colossal powers in the world,
beside which Germany, England,
France, and Italy will be as pygmies-
the United States and Russia"
a 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-
tions of war or equipment for battles
on land or sea. Russia had all these.
and yet she has suffered crushing, hu-
initiating, and overwhelming defeat.
What, then, is the secret Of Japan's
strength?
Efficiency of the Unit.
It 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 consequence, of every
individual soldier and sailor.
And this physical and mental eff
cheney of an entire people-of the en-

mile distant. 1t is about five miles be-
low Mount Vernon and three miles be-
low the ruins of Belvoir, the home of
the first Fairfax in Virginia. Gunston
Hall was probably without equal in
that part of Virginia at the time Of
its building, and is as well preserved
as any other colonial house in Virginia
1t is eighty feet long and forty feet
wide and is built of bricks twice the
size of those made now. To the right
of the north entrance is the room
which was occupied by Jefferson on his
frequent visits to Mason. On the river
portico is where Mason and Washing
ton played at draughts by the hour.
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
reconstruction was the editor of the
Richmond Journal and was once a can
didate for the House of Representa-
tives, but was defeated. He was q
close friend of President Grant, and
Daniels really controlled the patronage
Of the State of Virginia. A spry old
gentleman who has personally known
a hundred celebrities of other genera
tions, he lives on land adjoining Guns
ton Hall and which was a part of the
estate. Gunston Hall passed to Joseph
Specht, of st. Louis, and by him was
completely restored and beautifed. He
died three years ago and the place con-
tinued in possession of his heirs and
in charge Of colored overseer.

George Mason was the Sage of Guns.
ton. 1t was he who after conference
and correspondence with Washington
drew up the non-importation resolu-
tions offered by Washington and
adopted by the Virginia House Of Bur
gesses in 1869. One of these resolu-
tions pledged the signers to buy no
slaves imported after November 1, 1863.
Mason was the author of a tract
styled Extracts from Virginia Char
ters and Some Remarks upon Them"
supporting the contention that the Brit
ish Parliament had no right to tax the
American colonies. This tract had a
wide vogue in pre-revolutionary times.
Mason and Washington attended the
citizens meeting at Fairfax Court
House, Virginia, in July, 1774. Wash
ington was moderator of the meeting.
Mason presented twenty-four resolu-
tions in advocacy Of non-intercourse
with the mother country. These res
olutions were adopted, and were also
adopted by the Virginia convention at
Williamsburg in August, 1774. 1t was
that body which elected Peyton Ran
dolph, Richard Henry Lee, George
Washington, Patrick Henry, Richard
Bland; Benjamin Harrison and Edmund
Pendleton delegates to the First Con-
tinental Congress, and that Congress
substantially adopted the Mason reso-
lutions.
Favored Election of Presidents by
the People.
Mason after once declining election,
and once refusing to serve after cleo
ton to the Continental Congress, sat
in the Constitutional Convention OF
1887. In that great body he opposed
slavery, saying it was source of ina
tional weakness and Generalization" 4"
He advocated the direct election Of the

He has just left Washington for his
second trip to the isthmus Through
his connection with the affairs of the
Philippines, he has become involved
in questions wholly outside the regular
line of the War Department.
