TT is the great good fortune OF the peo-
pie of America, especially of the youth of
America, that we have for our national
hero a character whom they can take as a
model of behavior in every condition, every
transaction, every occupation, in life.
cannot think of any question OF morality,
Of courtesy, of noble and elevated behavior
of expediency in the conduct of doubtful
and difficult affairs, which young man or
an old man could not safely answer by
asking himself and telling himself what
George Washington would have done I'm
like case. / do not know of any other ma
ton on earth that possesses such a model
Think how poor were Washington's re-
sources. During a large part of the time
when he was besieging the British army In
Boston he had scarcely powder enough to
fire a salute. His few cannon had been
dragged by oxen across New England from
Ticonderoga. He had no money to pay his
soldiers; no drill officers to teach his raw
recruits military discipline; no military text
books for his engineers. His life was al
most a solitude amid the jealousies and
strifes which existed in that day in quite
as large degree as now, among his gem
erals and officers, and (what has happily
passed by now) among the troops Of the
different colonies. The ineXhaustible pc
cuniary resources of England promised an
inexhaustible supply of troops, native or
mercenary. His great antagonists had the
support of a powerful navy. would not
undervalue the navy of the Revolution,
whose great service to the cause of in
pendence has been so much overlooked.
Indeed, 1t is doubtful whether without it
the war for liberty could have been brought
to a successful close. But its chief service
was in the destroying of English CONF
merce and not as an aid to our military
operations.

there never will be period in all coming

GIRLS AFTER BACHELORS
Iowa Young Ladies Form New
Matrimonial Club

Much interest and curiosity has
felt on the part of the more confirmed
bachelors of Davenport, Iowa, by the
announcement of the formation of a
club by a score or more young women
with the avowed purpose of providing
bachelors with suitable wives, asserts
an exchange. The name of the organi-
cation is the Girls Bachelor club.
I'VE are young women with a high
motive and purpose in life said one
prominent member of the new organi-
cation. THE increasing number o,
bachelors calls for action on the part
of the young women of the land, and
we of Davenport are going to take the
lead in a marriage crusade
The young women propose to go
about their crusade in a decidedly
modern and businesslike fashion,
The first step will be to take census
of the young unmarried men of the
city. Secretaries of lodges, unions and
local and business organizations will
be called upon to furnish lists of those
of their members who are living liH
of single blesscdness.
Their names will be arranged or
card index system in which the vir
tues and faults of the young men will
be set forth. When this preliminary is
completed the real work of the club
will begin.
An elaborate follOw-up system has
been devised and bachelors who have
telephones may expect to receive calls
at any hour of the day or night and j
sweet-voiced maiden will greet them
with something like this:
Mr.. So-and-So, this is a member
of the Bachelors Club of Girls We
want you to get married. If you ar
unable to choose a girl for yourself
kindly call at our headquarters anc
We will help you.
Don't get peeVish if we call you
up every day, for we intend to con-
tinue to urge you to do your duty
until we learn that you have been
ried.'
The young women have also pledged
themselves 10 take course in cook
cry and domestic science and one OF
the features of the campaign will be
inviting young bachelors to the club
room to partake of dinners. luncheons
and other delicacies compounded by
the club members

Hunt, organizer for the western dis
lrict, who is we'll known in Spokan :

robes, emerged from the hall and
walked up Main street, followed by
a large crowd of people, to a place
where five prospective candidates had
previously been sent, states the Inter
Mountain. When the masked and
robed men arrived at the place they
seized one of the men and binding
him up with 25 yards of log chain.
proceeded down Main street with him
to the Pythian hall. A crowd of sew
eral hundred persons were attracted
and they followed the masked men
and their victim to the hall. but there
all entrance was barred to outsiders
1t was after midnight when the
parry made it's appearance on the
street again, and the institution of the
nest was completed. Some of the
candidates, in order to get revenge for
what must have transpired in the
hall, seized Organizer Hunt, bound
the log chain around him and
dragged him several blocks before
giving him his release. Hunt ac-
knowledged that he had been jobbed
and secured his release by buying the
cigars.

The suggestion that the eastern for
the fifteenth session of the national
irrigat ton congress, to be held in Sac
ramento, California, September 81
next, has created much interest among
prominent men of the eastern states
who are identified with the movement
to establish reserves in the Appalach-
ian and White mountains. The head
quarters of the congress, which is al
ready open at Sacramento, has re-
ceived letters from all over the east
ern states approving the suggestion
and expressing the hope that the mat
ter will be scheduled for discussion
at the Sacramento meeting.
The proposal to place this question
in the program as an expression OF
the desire of the congress manage
