little. He did not think so, but it is automatic.
Surely anything done in the way OF non-mporta-
tion must be non-important
THIRD Following this act OF non Importance
George determined to try at once To discipline his
Boston subjects and make them come TO time. He
presented his Boston Port Bill. Now careless his
torians have made it appear and in fact, believe
all present have il now in mind that this Boston
Port Bill was an order closing the port Of Boston
and making Salem the seat OF government and the
port Of entry for Massachusetts. You have
been taught that the Boston merchants re-
scented this and declared that IL the English would
not bring their loaded ships to Boston they should
not Salem into Salem and thus George entered a
new vow in his diary.
But this historical record Is doubtless myth
cal and legendary. ! am credibly informed by
citizen OF the Hub, whose ancestor was in Boston
at the time, that the story, as our historian gave
it, is entirely wrong. The real story is that George
issued an order for all his personal friends to
meet at banquet in Faneul Hall. The menu
consisted mainly OF pork and beans butfor drinks,
instead OF tea and coffee. they had Port-wne and
Porter. The caterers OF the banquet presented the
bill to Georges friends 1t not paid, but was
referred to the city authorities. They willingly
paid for the pork and beans, as being peculiarly
wine and especially for Porter, an English drink.
This was the Boston Port Bill, about which his
tory has written so enormously Surely small
cause for a quarrel OF such magnitude?
FOURTH. So violent the anger of George
at this refusal that he concluded TO send soldiers
over to collect it. So he issued his decree known
as the quartering act" Here again is misun-
derstanding as to its scope. My Boston friend
tells me land he ought TO know that the soldiers
we're instructed to collect a quarter from each
freeholder in the city OF Boston until the amount
due on the Port bill was paid. The freeholders
refused 10 pay, and each soldier making the re-
quest was kicked across the Boston Common.
Again George grew angry and the fourth vow OF
vengeance was entered in the diary.
FIFTH. The one event that was perhaps the
chief cause of the final outbreak was the forerun-
ner OF like difficulties in every age OF the growth
of civilization. More troubles have grown out Of
it in society than any other cause. Neghborhood
quarrels, political vendetti, diplomatic ruptures,
and even wars OF conquest, trace their origin to
the same GREAT source.

BOTH ARE ACQUITTED

Anent the report sent out by the
papers that Judge Green had charged
Speaker Cannon with bribery and that
Speaker Cannon had characterized
the Judge as a rowdy, Judge Smith is
quoted as follows:
have it upon reliable authority
that in his Sidney address Judge w.
H. Green said in substance, that he
was informed the reason the Hepburn
Dolliver bill was not reported out of
committee was that Mr., Cannon did
not want it reported, but that whether
that statement was true or not Judge
Green was satisfied that IL would be
reported out IL the speaker desired IT,.
Judge Green made no reference Ia
bribery or corruption, in that connee-
ton, and did not charge the speaker
Herewith, either expressly or by inn
plication.
On the other hand am authorized
To say that the speaker never called
Judge Green u rowdy or applied TO
him any epithet whatever, but when
Judge Green's supposed charges were
called To his attention refused To be
interviewed upon the subject, simply
saying in substance that he did not
know whether the report that Judge
Green had made the charges referred
To him were true or not. and that SO
far as he was concerned he must he
content To leave the truth of all such
charges to he judged OF in the light OF
his more than thirty years OF public
life. =

ROBBERS RoosT.

According to reports, Washington
City should be named Robbers
Roost, at least SO far as the treat
ment of the members of congress is
concerned. 1t seems that the hotels
restaurants and boarding houses have
conspired to beat the unsophisticated
fellows who are sent down there to
make the laws by charging them
exorbitant rates for rooms and board.
The editor of the Marion Register
says he spent three months one winter
at an avenue hotel in that city and
makes the following observation: On
the same guests iloor there was a
House member FROM one of the south
ern states. His room was not as
large, was no better furnished, and
was six doors further away from the
elevator than the one we occupied.
We sat at the same table in the
dining room and the congressman
paid just three times for his room
and board what we paid for ours.
In addition he took his noon meal
at the House restaurant in the Capitol.
We are informed that three OF the
Iowa members are living in fine style
this session on the "club plan" at Il
cost of $40 per month. Our advice to
the other members is "join a club. "
This does not apply to Mr., Hepburn
who lives in a fine residence of his
own, fronting beautiful park on
Capitol hill.
In closing just one more incident.
We called on an Iowa member one
morning at and were informed that
we would find him in the dining room.
We found him at little round
table enjoying" and "feasting" on
a cup of coffee, crackers and plate
of oat meal. The same morning at
I we had tenderloin, pork chops, eggs
on toast, baked potatoes, fruit and
coffee for breakfast. We were paying
So per day and the congressman was
paying his salary $l3 day, We
invited him to breakfast with MS the
next morning. He said it would be
such surprise TO his stomach that
there would be a dead congressman
and he was aware of the fact that he
was not prepared to die. The same
congressman is being robbed every
session vet.

Although the ten minutes allotted me might be
we'll considered sufficient to portray all the char
acter possessed by the tyrannical ruler of Great
Britain, in the days OF the Revolution this is not
a character sketch. 1t is more digest of the
causes for the Rebellion; partly as viewed from
the standpoint of the throne of England and more,
perhaps from the viewpoint of this banquet board.
We naturally feel some degree of charity even
for our enemies when we learn that they have
troubles of their own in addition TO all the worry
we are able to cause them by our waspishness
George The Third had troubles that would
have destroyed his appetite even in the presence
of oyster cocktails, Etc. Etc, Etc.
To begin with he had family OF fifteen child
rem each Of whom tried to pose before him as a
king queen when the best OF them was never bet
ter than Jack, and most OF themwe only deuces.
This q{Ane enough to make George irritable
and when in the game of Grande he found every
ace and the joker in the hands of his opponents
and the supposed kings of his own hand to be only
insignificant deuces we'll he is entitled TO sym
patty, to say the least
To one who studies history with intelligence
instead of prejudice it is wonderful how meager
appear the causes Of the American outbreak
against Great Britain. The causes are really
only i've in number, and are worthy OF our most
serious and undivided attention.
FIRST. Georges experience with the fifteen
unruly kids had led him to feel that to bring up
children rightly required persistent restraint
upon their tendency to life OF license and liberty.
So when l,2 observed the strong trend toward
unchallenged. liberty among his subjects in Ameri-
ca he undertookto Z" stamp " out all such tenden-
cies. But his stamping futile, owing to the
fact that he had the diminutive foot OF an English
dude. You know that effort to control, il it
fails excites contempt instead OF obedience, and
his American subjects flung back their assertion
of independence in the memorable words . No
English dude for us. Our Yankee dudell do!''
This made George mad, and he entered in his
diary vow to get even whenever opportunity
offered.
T. SECOND. The colonies, aroused by his
Sstamp act, !" before mentioned, resolved to live
more among themselves, and not even trade with
England. They organized nonimportation asso-
Citations throughout the land, and again George
was angered and entered a second vow for revenge.
The foolishness of his anger is apparent, for such
acts of the colonists surely amounted to but

George The Third.
Dinners of
can Revolt ton Banque April

II was simply this: The elite OF Boston gave
tea party and Mrs. George was not invited
This was the straw that broke the camels back
AS George opened his diary and made the diago-
nal stroke. which is called the tally mark in the
process Of enumeration, he set his teeth squared
his jaw and said, "That settles it, and the war
was on.
Time is not given me to trace the many inter
esting events OF that seven years struggle. From
Georges standpoint there we're many strange hap
penings. He could not understand why one of the
first events that declared his subjects out of har
mony with him should occur at Concord. He often
remarked that he could not comprehend why the
blarsted Yankees gave the name Bunker HILL
to battle, simply because IL was fought on
Breeds HILL
He once remarked to one OF my ancestors that
the greatest surprises Of his life was when, after
his scouts had informed him that the route from
Canada to New York City was an open lane
through which army could march uninterrupt
ed from the Saint Lawrence to the American me-
tropolis; and when he had sent his friend General
Burgoyne with seven thousand soldiers to make
this march to view the scenery of Lake George
the Adrondacks, and the unrivaled beauty OF the
Hudson, he found Gates across the lane every half
mile, and finally reported home that as it was
getting too hot for him he didn't care TO go far
ther and had concluded to stop at Saratoga till
the close of the heated season.
But now | don't know what George thought
about it, but one paper tonight has given to me
new understanding OF conditions currently report
ed in history. 1t filled my heart with anger, in
my youth but also with reverence for the patriot
ism of our heroic ancestors, to read how they re-
NAMED true to the cause OF liberty when nearly
starved and almost unclothed In the historic
descriptions | could see their bloody footprints
in the snow How my blood boiled for simple
misunderstanding. When hear of the Christmas
battle night know the truth Our ancestors hung
their stockings in the chimney corner and went
out to fight barefooted rather than risk the non
coming OF Santa Claus. How easily an able paper
can clear the understanding and sweep the cob
webs from hazy brain!
II is but fair to say that George The Third
had one strong trait. 1t was an iron will. But
few ever lived who surpassed him in determination
But he found one thing to his sorrow. He learned
that an English will must yield to an American
wont,-The Old Continental.

CALLED A MINISTER.
The Presbyterian Church OF Audubon
Has Invited Rev. David Mcintosh
OF Hopkinton.

At the close of the regular service
last Sunday morning at the Presby-
terrain church they held short bust
ness meeting of the congregation and
took action extending u unanimous
call to the Rev David Mcintosh of
Hopkinton to become their pastor,
This action was out Of the usual
order from the fact that no member Of
the congregation has ever seen or
heard the gentleman whom they in
vited. They depend entirely upon
the recommendations of DR.. Cony-
beare, DR.. Hinkhouse and others who
know him and his work at tiopkinton
which is the only passionate he has
had and where he has been now for
thirteen consecutive years. Dir. Cony.
beare will have two more Sundays
here aud will then move TO his new
home and church at Cedar Rapids.
