THURSDAY. MICH. "a. 1910.

The Gazette joins with the people
in extending the teachers of the
Third Congressional District a cor
dial welcome to Williamsburg. This
being an educational center. we are
naturally interested in education. and
the public schools appeal to US as
does no other department OF edu-
cation. There are coming into our
town tomorrow men and women
whose influence for good IS almost
infinite. They are the instructors OF
our children. who viii soon step in
70 take our places. Theirs is no
easy task. and their duties are com
mensurste with their responsibilities.
The people of Virginia are lined up
behind the public schools. the carp
ings of a few critics here and there
notwithstanding. The crucial period
has been passed. and the future is
not only brighter for public educa-
6on, but more encouraging to teach
ing as a profession. While conpe-
tent instructors are demanded, yet
the taxpayers are willing that the
wages paid shall be in proportion to
ability and the responsibility OF the
work performed. We feel that the
gathering here tomorrow will be
mutually profitable to the teachers
and the public. and we wish the vis-
itors a very pleasant stay among Us.

Line up.

DR.. James S. Wilson of the facul-
", delivered very charming and
Instructive address to a large num-
Der OF students and town people
last Friday night in College chapel.
DR.. Wilson took as his subject, Syd-
ney Lanier. the greatest OF all South
ern poets. He merely touched up
on the sad and poverty-stricken life
of this great poet. but dwelt at
length upon the beauty and simplici-
ty Of his poetry. He pointed out
the fact that LanieT did not wish any
one section of the country to claim
him. but rather wished to be called
an American. yet in spite of this. he
might DC called the lonely heart of
the South. He said that Lanier
might be called the great poet artist
and poet teacher. an artist in i'm
sginstion. 10 the rhythm Of his verses
and in the originality Of thought.
He showed that Lanier made 10
attempt 10 conform to the nutric
laws as he thought a poets sayings
should be only living life aloud.
Lanier was a Presbyterian but his
highest worship was life and his
creed was love.
After the lecture Prof. Fred M
Crawford sang q solo (Isrsfel) which
wns greatly snioysd by eli prsssas.

College Notes.

Last Saturday the Williamsburg
baseball team defeated the college
team by the score Of 9 TO s. The
game was a slow one and character
lied by errors throughout. The
Williamsburg boys out-fielded and
out-batted the College boys at every
stage of the game. The features OF
the game were Spencer's pitching
and Ellis catching.

Farmers Day at Delaware College.

Farmers Day at Delaware College will
be held this year on Monday, the 18th Of
June. This is an annual event for the
farmers Of the State and others who are
interested in the general advancement Of
agriculture. The program Of the day will
be similar to the previous Farmers Days.
The morning will be spent in study of
the experimental plots, the orchards. the
pure-bred live stock, the new farm build
ings and the general farm equipment. A
luncheon will be served to guests at noon,
after which Dr. Seaman Knapp will de-
liver an address. DR.. Knappis perhaps,
as we'll known in the agricultural world
as any man engaged in the improvement
of agricultural practice. He is pleasing
speaker, and has consented to leave his
work in the South long enough to give
the day to the farmers of Delaware. 1t is
hoped that every man who lives on a
farm in Delaware will plan to give him
self Monday, June 18th, spend it at the
State farm, and see what Delaware Col
lege has that will be Of assistance in inn
proving his farm products.

HAVE We A JUST GOVERNMENT.

The same patriotic enthusiasm
that induced the men of the Fifth,
Sixth and Seventh Delaware Regi-
ments to take up arms in defence Of
the Government when it lay PROSTATE
and prone, during the Civil War,
bleeding at every wound, its life
blood oOzing out at every pore, in its
gigantic effort to put down rebellion
and save the nation, ought to inspire
every surviving soldier Of those regi-
ments to rise in their majesty and
with might and main demand recog-
milton and their just dues. Nor is
this injustice confined to Delaware
regiments alone. The States of Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri furnished many men of like
character, known as emergency men,
who rendered efficient service in
checking the invasions Of the enemy,
when it swept across the border leav-
ing desolatiOn in its wake Oh the
sac, the affecting horrors of Civil War.
But since those days of tribulation,
with the advent Of peace and pros
perity, our country has become a
rich and powerful nation, second to
none in the annals of history Even
the naughty old British Lion, the
most subtle and invidious foe of
America, has learned a wholesome
respect for the warning screech Of
the American Eagle But in her
hitherto unequaled prosperity, our
Govenment-your government and
mine-seems to have forgotten her
obligation to some of her old soldiers
that helped to preserve her a ma
ton" To many Of her soldier sub
iects the Government has been ex-
tremely generous. especially so to-
ward soldiers widows by granting
them uniform pensions Of twelve dol
lars per month. 1t must be remem- /
bered, however, that many of these
widows of the present day were un- !
born at the time of the rebellion and
made no sacrifice at all whatever in
putting it down, but years afterward, !
in their girlhood, married old sol
diers and in all probability will be
wards of the Government for fifty
years to come, but we pick no quarrel |
with tine Government for this We
do object, however, to granting fab
uloUs pensions to presidents widows,
who had the distinction of being
mistress Of the White House, living
on the fat Of the land for four years
or more as the case might be. Five
thousand a year to a presidents |
widow and hundred and forty-fOur |
dollars to a soldiers widow, many |
of whom made a greater sacrifice for
their country, does not seem like
equality and justice, the principals |
upon which the government was
founded. One hundred and twenty
five dollars a month to the widow of
a yellow fever victim and eight or
ten dollars per month to an old sol
der is too discriminating to be toll
Grated. Two thousand and five hun
dred dollars for an automobile for
the use Of the speaker, who has done
irreparable injury to the country in
general and the Republican Party in
particular is a wasteful extrava-
gance and a preposterous absurdity.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars to a
president already receiving a salary
Of fifty thousand a year, as a sop,
Tor the purpose Of making a political
our Of the country, to build up his
chances of reelection, while
he soldier of the Civil War, who
ierved less than ninety days, gets
lothing. This is the climax of ex-
Milford chronicle., 1910-05-13

travagance and folly and deserves
the righteous Indignation, not only
of the soldiers in question but OF
every honest man the country over.
Alas the inordinate disposition OF
the modern Congressman to grease
the fat pig.
Our Senators have introduced bills
into Congress for the benefit OF those
for whom we are now pleading one
of those bills that of Senator Rich
ardson-was far-reaching enough to
have benefited this class OF soldiers.
What has become OF those bills we
arr unable to say. Whether they
were strangled in committee, expired
from lack OF vitality or were run
down and their lives crushed out by
Uncle Joe Cannon's S automobile, IS a
matter of conjecture.
Later on, we learn that a bill has
been reported to the House, from
the Committee on Military Affairs,
giving to old soldiers who served
ninety days and are over seventy
wears of age and in need Of attention
a pension Of thirty dollars per month:
Al glance this would seem Just and
proper. but read between the lines
it has the semblance Of injustice and
discrimination. 1t is passing strange
that some members Of Congress are
so befogged that they can not rid
their minds Of the stereotyped idea
that it takes ninety days service to
become a soldier.
The writer makes no pretension to
craftsmanship or diplomacy and
only processes to have common sense,
but he does know that by all rules
of ratio and proportion, if ninety
days give thirty dollars per month
thirty days ought to give ten dollars.
Even this amount would be a great
relief to those who have been turned
down and disregarded. Unless the
present Congress does something to
relieve the pressure it will be too
late to benefit some of US. The
weight of seventy years and more
has done much in rendering us feeble
and inert. Some of US now are lean
ing on offsprings as a barrier between
ourselves and a yawning almshouse.
Should any misfortune happen to
these relatives our doom would be
sealed. Shame on any government
that would allow an old soldier to
fill a pauper's grave.
Fellow soldiers and old comrades
of the Seventh Delaware Regiment,
and all Others in a similar condition,
the time is ripe for you to demand
(not beg) square deal, and if those
who have the power to grant it refuse
TO do so, it is up to you in exercising
your prerogative in the November
election to so record your disapproval
that something will be heard TO drop
with heavy thud. We make these
remarks, not as a threat but as
believing that they are
made sufficiently plain THAT he who
runs for office may read"

the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-ROOt corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to 90 often through
the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-
cause of its remarkable health restoring
properties. A trial will convince anyone.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
One-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,
