NOW IT'S ALL CLEAR
Rev. Mr.. Woodrow iyeSSOme
Interesting History.
LADIES NIGHT OF THE S. a. R.
Interesting Event AT the Arlington
at which Divine Makes Address ON
National LIfe"-Takes Care OF Man
haitian and Philadelphia.

The Washington correspondents have
/ been telling the people wrong long
enough. Here they've been sending out
stun year after year telling everybody
that Senator Aldrich is boss of the Sen
ate, because he keeps quiet and is
smooth politician.
! That isn't the reason at all. Senator
/ Aldrich is running things up on the Han
/ just because everybody in his state has
/ Wheels or at least everybody up In
/ Rhode Island is descended from some
| body who had wheels.
! Rev. Samuel II. Woodrow revealed it
/ all al the ladies night OF the Sons Of the
American Revolution, which began last
evening in the Arlington Hotel, and
(which. presumably, ended some time this
morning. Or. Woodrow ratified a few
other Of the dry historical bones in the
national closet of skeletons last night,
and ratified them quite. successfully.
The Same Old boston.
II appears that Boston is the same old
Boston that She used To be about %
years ago. Sos Massachusetts. and 30
are other places Rhode Island. for in
| stance. was started by fellow by the
name of Roger Williams. who became
/ tired OF the soulless corporations OF some
/ other colony, and drifted of to provi-
d5nce. where he set himself up in bust
/ ness. soon Roger who seemed 10 have
/ been a genius FOR organization, gathered
about him quite a respectable number of
| other people.
/ The whole trouble about Rhode Island,
/ however was that most Of these tran
sients and regular roomers were people
with wheels" That's the reason, DR..
| Woodrow explained. that Rhode Island Is
the worst bossed state in the country.
Manhattan SOU know, was a CONNER
cial colony. and it's still inclined that
way Why, there wasn't "a preacher or
school teacher on that island ten years
after it was settled. when there were 800
other people there. Fifty years after ii was
settled IL was almost as bad. In the lower
part Of the city there was a saloon be-
tween every other house, or house be-
tween every other understanding like
that
Take Manhattan to-day. Why. it's plain
that it's just about the greatest city in
the world for going after the almighty
dollar it's about the worst for going
after pleasure. and when il comes down
70 "a question Of high civic ideals, Man
haitian has Just about the lowest.
But then there's Philadelphia, which is
described as pretty slow 1t is slow. Dr.
Woodrow said, but then lis slow because
everybody who settled there years ago
was slow and quiet and peaceable. It's
even been said by some one that the
only sign of life i'm some Philadelphia
streets is when they hung crepe on a
door
RattIes some Old Bones.
Rev. Woodrow was speaking about the
Influence of early settlers upon ma
tional life lie said after he had laid
bare a few Of these national bones that
what America should do was to weld All
the conglomerate parts together in
homogeneous whole, or words TO that
effect.
Mr. Justice Hagner. of the Supreme
Court, made an address. dealing mostly
with Gen. Lafayette He said be had
heard quite a bit Of talk recently about
remaining Sixteenth street northwest.
II venture to suggest" he said. that
the very best way would be TO give II the
name of Lafayette avenue. The south
end should commence at Lafayette Park,
and the avenue should continue out 20
the District line and into the State Of
Maryland. Of which Lafayette was made
a citizen IN ISL
Hon. W f. Andrews, auditor OF the
/ War Department. spoke Of Gen. Lafay-
cite. and said it wasn't mis- mother-in-
laW-''mark YOU lit was that generals
father-in-laW who tried % dissuade him
from sailing TO America 70 help the colo
mics in their fight for liberty against Eng
land.
Mr.. Andrews praised the character Of
Lafayette highly. He told Of the love of
liberty which prompted the young French
man to come across the sea to help the
Americans. He exhibited a warrant of
the Treasury Department drawn in favor
of Gen Lafayette for S300g0.
The invocation preceding the addresses
was made by Rev. Dr. Childs President

Orchestra rendered the Lafayette
March and afterward played while the
