aAMERICAN PEERAGEv

VATE are to have an American Peerage" if the
wv Rev. c. W. DeLyon Nichols has his way.
He is the Governors General Of the Society of Col
onial Cavaliers, and now and then he announces
that this or that person is eligible to membership
in the peerage."
The duties of a member of the Cavaliers are
very arduous One must keep in the treadmill
until one drops in the harness. The governor
general says that the upper class of Europe finds
in society relaxation, pastime. But not with
Americans 1t is labor with them, excitement, vex-
alton, worry, all in an endeavor to have enjoy
ment
According to the dictator, the chief qualihca-
ton for membership in the peerage" is the ability
TO give elaborate social functions, dinners and the
like To be peer American peer"
must astonish the world with smart functions. Ac-
cordng to this idea the peer" of the highest rank
should be the that has the best digestive ap-
paratus. family Of fashionable New Workers
have just been admitted TO the "peerage" because
two notable dinners we're given at Newport in
their honor by hostess of international repu-
tation."
Mrs Potter Palmer of Chicago, has been made
a peer and Mrs. Henry Barton Jacobs, the for
mer Mrs Robert Garrett, has also had the honor
conferred upon her. Mrs. Jack Gardner, says the
minister in explaining the ms and outs of peer
age is considered by many as the social leader of
Boston, but she has not been identified with the
utra-smart set of New York and Newport and
therefore her name is not the favored list Mrs.
Jack must be much distressed thereby.
Real peers" although there are exceptions to
the rule, must be identified with either New York
or Newport. 1t seems that Philadelphia is cut out
although the preacher may conclude to let in
of those south of Chestnut street and east of
Broad. II is not plain how Mr. Nichols got his
warrant for selecting the 'peerage," but that mat
tiers not.
Although it is not mentioned, it is fair to pre-
sumo that fortune of ample proportions should be
necessary for a peer" or else how could one of
the favored give the dinnersp

been speaking of Mr.. Morgan and the others of
great wealth as American peers" kings" and
"barons" All of which may be sign that we are
getting away from republican simplicity. Many
people in this country doing so.
II Mr. Nichols has his way, we may soon see
vigorous contests among the aspirants for the
"peerage.' Why not have all those who wish to
become peers" engaged in competitive dinner
parties and similar functions and have Mr. Mich
oils act as referee. Some good manager like Tex
Richard ought to be able to arrange it and pull
off" a great fight for eligibility to the Amer
lean peerage."

MOVE ON TO EVICT
WASHINGTON "SQUATTERS.n

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. July 22.-Conster-
nation has been struck into the hearts
of a community of "squatters" who
for many years have occupied some of
the most valued land in the capitol, by
an order from Attorney General Wick
ersham calling them to appear in
court, show cause why they should not
be evicted.
These people traee back to the Civil
War when soldiers, runaway slaves
and camp followers for want of an
other place to settle down on I'M
claimed lands. The main residential
growth of the city afterwards turned
towards that section. Among tn,

Whenever Booker 7. Washington
gives advice to negroes, as he did the
other day at Wilmington Del, what
he has to say is generally as appli-
cable to the white race as to the black.
His plea for industry, thrift, economy,
sober, upright living, his contrast Of
the dignity OF labor with the disgrace
of idleness, his appeal for justice to
all men, his fine discrimination be-
tween equality of opportunity and So
cial equality-all that could not be
put more forcibly and clearly. 1t would
be just as salutary for a white as for
a black audience and as wholesome
for nOrtherners as for southerners.
OF special interest to those who be-
lieve that Christianity, like charity,
should begin at home is DR.. Wash
ington's reference to home and foreign
missions. Throughout the South" he
says, IL have noted an increasing dis
position on the part of the best white
people to feel responsibility for the
salvation of the negro in their own
community. II is just as important
that time and work and money be
given toward the elevation of the
negro as It is TO spend effort in lift
ing up the people in Africa. China
Japan or any foreign country"
1t is even more important. If Ameri.
can foreign missions help to stimu-
late American foreign commerce. anc
If. as is frequently said. American ex.
porters contribute to foreign missions
for that reason, hove missions would
stimulate domestic trade by inculcat
ing industry and thrift among the
shiftless and by thus increasing theil
| buying power.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Battle of Lake Erie-Se ptember 10.

To-day is the date. in 1913. OF the his
toric battle OF Lake Erie. in which the
gallant young naval officer. Oliver Haz-
ard Perry. defeated the British under
Barclay. The battle opened at noon, and
for several hours there was an incessant
roar Of artillery. Several of the English
vessels directed their FIRE upon the Ameri-
can flagship and by 2 o'clock over two
thirds Of her 100 men were killed or
wounded.
Perry had named his flagship Lawrence,
after the brave commander whose dying
words Don't give up the ship" had be-
come the motto Of the vessel that bore
his name. AT length the Lawrence seemed
about TO sink, and the undaunted Perry.

boat, in the face OF the enemy's fire. to
his next largest vessel. the Niagara
Presently two Of the British vessels
fouled, and the American. taking advan-
tage OF this. raked their decks with a
murderous fire. but only for twenty min
utes, when the British fleet raised the
white nag and surrendered.
Perry's laconic dispatch 70 Gen. Harrf-
son. I'VE have net the enemy and they
are ours" soon became as famous as the
noble words OF Lawrence. which he had
made his motto. This brilliant victory
transferred the control Of the lake wholly
TO tire Americans. rendered the recovery
Of Michigan practically easy. and gave
the young American commander an indy
ing fame.
This brilliant action occurred during
the second year OF our second war with
Great Britain. Gen. Harrison (afterward
President). who was put in charge OF the
Army OF the Northwest. was particularly
anxious to secure control OF Lake Erie.
for as long as the British held il he
could make little Roadway in the North
west
To Perry had been assigned the task OF
securing control OF the lake. He labOred
for months in preparation for the under
taking. and finally succeeded in getting
together nine crude ships. with armament
consisting OF only hfty-fOur guns. The
crews OF these vessels numbered only 4oo
men. but Perry drilled them night and
day until he felt they were proficient
enough 70 cope with the enemy.
