Or ii might be the sentiment ex-

Greetings to our Sons and Daughters
of 2012:
Not unmindful of our sturdy
pioneer sires who endured hardships
strangers to us, who cleared our fields
and built our homes, who laiG the
foundation for our present prosperity,
we are proud of our present day
achievements, believing we have
made and are making strides Of
progress such as the world has never
seen: yet we are not building our
hopes of fame or perpetuity on our
past or our present. We are looking
across a century, and in you. our chill
dren, we hope To find a monument
which shall be an honor to your faith
ers and mothers and to our fathers
and mothers.
This monument must be construct
ed of moral, intellectual and social
fibre finer, richer and more sensitive
than ours. Ten decades should refine
and consume, the dross we are leav-
ing, so your character will be as gold.
and Your manhood and wemanhood
SO woven into the life of the Man 9f
Galilee" that your stand for right will
be as Interchangeable as the granite
hills of our State, standing as senti-
nels of all ages, watching the passing
generations as we watch a passing
cloud.
Our hopes. our pride, the summit OF
our aspirations are in you. We be-
Heve you will not disappont us In
fancy let us shake hands across the
chasm Of hundred years. As we
clasp. and our eyes meet, and ! hear
You ask Have we met your eXpec-
tations. have we proven worthy of
our inheritance may l be able to
answer back through your conscience
and your standard of justice and
right if not in an audible voice, ~Our
fondest dreams are realized, the
labor of your fathers was not in
vain, for today ! behold the noblest
men. the grandest women, the pur-
est homes, the world has ever seen.
May the next one hundred years
erect as worthy a monument to your
memory as YOU have to ours

To 2012: What can | say to You that
others have not said better? What can
tell you that will add ever so little to
your knowledge2 1t is almost closing

short stop, is to travel the long. shining
way to a century's end, still | find no
message | could wish would be helpful
me is the worst in you; that the sum
and substance of what | have learned
in my so years existence Is as but a
drop in the ocean of your knowledge;
that you are doing and daring greater
things for your brother man than in
my utmost compassion ever dreamed;
that you are using your every energy,
even, as we ask you to use our contribu-
tions, for the uplift of humanity.

To the Reader One Hundred Years

Strange thought that 1 can speak to you
This word across hundred years;
Can bid my spirit send to yours
A gift of laughter or of tears.
And yet It's only this | write:
If my slight gift shall bring to you
One hour of hope, or ease or mirth
One moments gladness fresh and true,
Then send Ii on across the years.
Life's way looms steep and rough to see;
If / have lightened thus your load
Then tighten his who yet shall be.

Refuses to Sign Contracts.

Auditor Tweedale has refused to sign
many contracts that lack the signature
of one of the Commissioners, and has
asked the Commissioners to refer the
matter to the controller of the Treasury
for his opinion on the validity of con-
tracts signed by only two Commissioners.
The law specifically deals with contracts
for construction works requiring all
signatures. and it is d question to he de-
cded by the controller of the Treasury
as to whether the annual purchase OF
supplies will come under that head.
The business of the District has been
hampered in many cases before, by this
law. during the illness of Commissioner
or his absence from the city Recently
while the Commissioners of the District
were before the subcommittee of the
House of Representatives having in
charge the District appropriation bill for
the fiscal year. 1913. an effort was made
to have the following provision inserted
in the District act, which would obviate
all trouble and clear up many doubtful
points.

DUE TO PROVISION OF LAW
OPINION ON SUBJECT SOUGHT

During the absence from the city OF
Commissioner Johnston many important
contracts for the purchase of supplies be-
tween the District government and vari-
Gus contractors and business firms can
not be entered into because of a provi-
sion of the law which requires the sig
natures of all of the Commissioners on
contracts. Engineer Commissioner Jud-
son also is out fthe city, but Congress
has authorized that in the absence of the
engineer Commissioner the business of
the office in all cases may be carried on
by the assistant engineer. Maj. E. vi.
Mark ham. assistant engineer Commits
sioner, acts in all capacities for Col. Jud-
son.
Many business men and contractors
whose bids for supplies have been ac-
cepted for the coming year will have to
wait for their money until the contracts
are formally signed. In similar cases the
delay has been two months.
