Mr.. AINtYS SPEECH
Continued From Page one }

by many Members of this House.
The files of the committee in this
case were available to any Member
of the House desiring more detailed
information than could properly be
introduced into a committee report
and fully disclosed the merits of the
case and acquitted the soldier Of
even the slightest imputation Of
fraud in the procurement of the sec
ond pension.
So the attack which has to no pur-
pose occupied the attention of this
House for two days, whether 1t was
waged against the Member, the com
mittee, or the soldier, fails; for with
less time, less effort, and less incon-
venience to Congress itself informa-
tion could readily have been OBJ
tanned by any Member desiring from
the records and files of the commit
tee in this and every other case in
the bill.
There is. Mr.. Speaker, another
chapter to this case not known to the
committee or to this House. The
financial loss of the pension, serious
as 1t was, weighed less heavily up
on William Hill than the imputation
that he had been unfair to his coun-
try Carefully concealing the pen
ury of his position, until it's acct
dental discovery by neighbors
brought relief, he and his wife
awaited the vindication he confident
ly expected at the hands of his coun-
try in Congress assembled.
Mr.. Speaker, the handicap of
years, the weight OF suffering, the
pressure of poverty, the keen an
guish of a sensitive mind, were too
much for him to bear, and a few
weeks ago he passed to the great be-
yond. Our efforts in his behalf are
too late, but / wish it were within
the parliamentary power of this House
to substitute the name of his feeble
wife for the small amount which
1t was proposed to give that loyal
soldier and patriotic citizen-Wil-
liam Hill, of Honesdale, Wayne
count, Pa.

DAMASCUS HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Damascus %; L. Z. 8.


A record-breaking crowd witness
ed the fourth game of the series be-
tween Long Eddy and the Damascus
High school team at the new gym
nasium at Damascus, Friday evening,
March l. OF the three games that
had been played Long Eddy had
won two and it remained for Damas-
Gus to redeem herself on her own
floor This she did. The game be-
gan with foul thrown by w. Kin
ney for Long Eddy but Damascus
struck a gait that more or less be-
wildered her rivals. 1t was evident
before the first half was over that
the visitors were completely out
classed The team work that had
been shown by Long Eddy in former
games was either lacking or broken
up by the High School boys. AL
though the score was rather one-sid-
ed the dash and snap that the players
showed kept the enthusiastic sup
porters busy. Bischoff and Fortnam
were into the play all of the time
and scored heavily for the home
team, Fortnam securing four field
goals and BischOff six. The latter in
his first game gave the finest ex-
hibition of ball yet seen on the floor.
The guards stuck to their men well.
For Long Eddy, the Individual
playing of any one of the team can
scarcely reserve special mention as
only two field goals was shot during
the entire game. Kinney did credit
able work by scoring half of his
teams points by fouls. The score:
Damascus. Long Eddy.
Reilly. ......F. ......W. Kinney
Bischoh .,'..F. ........ Warner
Pethick. .....C. .......... Peake
Fortnam ......G. ....... Galloway
Baskets from the floor, Damascus:
Bischoff 6, Fortnam 4, Reilly 2,
Pethick /; Long Eddy: Warner / -,
Kinney /. From fouls: Kinney 4 a.,
Pethick /. Referee, Mr.. Lattison,
Principal Long Eddy High school.
The next game OF the series will
probably be played on a neutral
floor. fl
The manager of the II. S. team is
arranging a game with Hancock. n.
Y, High school which he hopes will
be well patrOni7ed a. on oX pnri e
guarantee must be paid that team.
The box social that was helu in
the High school after the game,
netted $500 toward the gymnasium
fund.
Two very high class entertain
ments have been booked as numbers
of the High school lecture course this
season. The first concert given by
the Empire Trio under the manage
ment OF d. II. Cook of Syracuse,
comes to use with the very best rec
ommendation of the press and its
patrons. The company includes Amy
Woodwork, entertainer, Anna
Leach, violinist, and Margaret Lori

tice what has been said regarding the

HISTORY VERSUS LEGEND


From the Louisville Courier journal.
In historical pageant, which is to be
held in Philadelphia In October, James
Ewing Mifflin, man of business and So
cial standing in the Quaker City, proposes
to drive a dump cart 1t was in the dump
cart business that his ancestors made
their fortune, ne says. and the founda-
tons of the fortune were laid by Mifflins
who personally drove carts.
According to reports some of the pro-
moters of the parade hold that amid the
impressive floats that will compose it.,
Mr., Mifflin and his dump cart will be
ridiculous. But, replies Mr. Mifflin, the
parade is to be historic, and the dump cart
with scion of the house of Miffln at
the helm will be just that.
The late "Bill' Nye. in beginning his
History of the United States" said that
nude facts should not be presented to
company. Babies, he pointed out, are
originally nude, but nobody thinks of
showing them off to visitors without
dressing them Ergo, facts, while innocent
enough In the nude should be draped be-
fore the public Is invited to inspect them
This plan was formulated In Jest, but is
followed in solemn earnest by writer's of
genealcgies, and by representatives of
first families who represent the first
of their families in illustrative parades.
Mr.. Miffln of Philadelphia is an exception
to the rule. He proposes to stick to his
tory, while the others win drape their
facts and make them appear to the best
advantage. Family history, even in the
bosom of the family, as goes the phrase,
is very largely legend. Family pride Is
fed. and thrives, upon anything rather
than nude facts. Everyone has heard how
the daughter of the undertaken who
throvc socially in exclusive circles in an
adopted northern city, made 1t rule to
say that she was daughter of "a wealthy
southern planter" draping the fact grace
fully rather than lodging 1t in a cow
ardly manner. Mr.. Mifflin of Philadelphia
evidently feels that in mis- case evasion is
unnecessary

parts of an. administration machine
in accordance with the usages and
practices of the last 80 years. Joseph
o. Thompson was hurried out of Of
flee even before his successor could
be named. He had become unwel-
come at Washington, and the office he
held was turned over at once to an
acting collector of internal revenue
pending an appointment to be con-
firmed by the Senate. Mr.. Thompson
was summarily removed to make the
lesson more emphatic. His sole Of
tense was political insubordination.
The case would in other governments
have become scandal, but in America
we are accustomed to machines and
their methods. There is no lesson to
be drawn from the case, it being just
a part of customary American poll
tics. To the victors belong the spoils,
but the present victors will not own
the spoils after March next. The
victims in this state see the heads of
the President and his secretary of
the treasury falling from the political
guillotine in November.

NEGRO WATERS

Letter in New York Sun.
The suggestion of correspondent in
this mornings Sun that Booker WASH
ington institute department for traih-
ing negro walters at Tskegee strikes mo
favorably. I indorse all that is said
concerning the faithfuness and capabili-
ties of the negroes, and just now when
Hthe demand for walters is great and in
creasing would seem to be a favorable
opportunity to introduce them to new
fields and to give them a fair trial
Possibly until they are acclimated tho
northern climate may deter them, but
the experiment would be in the right d.
rection.
Senator Sumner and associates when in
sisting on negro suffrage did the race an
injury instead of comforting a benefit as
they proposed. These men argued that
some recompense was due the negroes for
their years of bondage and not only
wanted to make them in every way the
equal of the white man, but II possible
little superior.
Racial difficulties cannot be overcome.
but with patience and sense apart from
prejudice they can be adjusted. l believe
the employment as proposed will do US as
much good as 1t will do them.

Whose Canal Is 1t?

The House of Representatives has
decided that the people of the United
States should run the canal they are
to pay for and build. The House has
decided that the question of tolls in
the canal is to be decided by this
country, and not by England. The
same House has decided that we may
pass our own ships through our own
canal free of charge. Can England
negative these decisions?
But really England is not real
party in this matter. The Canadian
transcontinental railroads have
brought England into the business be-
cause an international issue looks bet
ter on the surface than railroad
issue unadorned would.
The railroads are the power behind
the British throne, however, and the
issue should not be clouded by an at
tempt to hide behind the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty.
The Senate hesitates. 1t hesitates to
say who is going to run the canal. And
yet it knows that the English position
is simply the railroad position, and
that the railroads propose to run the
canal to suit their own plans and to
retain their control of transcontinental
trade.
IL the railroads win their contention
the canal is doomed from the start.
1t becomes at once an adjunct of the
| transcontinental railroads, and the
country that built it will gain little or
nothing from it's vast expenditure.
