Editor National Tribune: l saw quite
story in last weeks paper about the
Boy Mayor and Boy Marshal of Glen
Echo. The writer rather poked fun at
said officers, as tho they We're small
timber. | rejoice when | see the law
upheld All laws should either be up
held or repealed. No doubt there was
a call for the law or the Legislature of
the State would not have made it, and
perhaps the Governor would have
something to say if the law was not
enforced. As far as these officers be-
ing boys, | remember when boys saved
this country from the hands of its enc
mics. AS for the vioators of the law
being ambassadors, II should not make
any difference. The law was made for
all Foreigners should be very careful
to obey it. l hope our ambassadors in
foreign countries show their manhood
and obey every law. These boy officers
have redeemed Glen Echo from the
rum traffic and the rabble. Now, if they
can save life by enforcing the law
against speeding I say, Amen! AS
for the Interpretation of the law, that
rests with the Mayor. The people OF
this country are looking for timber that
are of the makeup of these two Off
GERS. They are the men who go to the
front Mr.. Bonaparte may live to see
that these boy officers are right, and
perhaps he is conscious of that fact

There has been an immense amount

Wirz of the charges brought against
him. IN concluding his letter Gen. Lee
says:
Now that the few survivors of the
great civil war are nearing the end of
their days, we had pettor spend the
little time which remains in forgiving
and being forgiven rather than in Great
ing new occasions for the exercise of
charity. Our memory will be dear to
our children, and we should do nothing
TO cause them regret. In my judgment,
the real enemy of our reunited country

faith of Northern or Southern youth in
Che moral worth of their ancestors For
Old men to engage in an unseemly strife

Speaking of the republican candi-
