"Made in America"

Made in America" is not new slo.
gan by at least a century and quarter.
When messengers Of Congress were sour
rying off to inform George Washington
that he had been elected President OF
the United States and to summon forth
John Adams as the first Vice President,
made in America was the issue OF
chief Importance
There was then much more OF an or
ganized campaign than is witnessed to-
day In every large town there was q
society to encourage homemade goods.
That was when Philadelphia began to
spin its first cotton. The people felt so
bitterly against England that they re-
fused to wear British fabrics. Beaus
drank beer of local brew and were clad
in homespuns. while the bellies OF town
learned to run spinning wheel.
A political candidate stood little show
of election unless he appeared in Arneri-
can-made clothes. Even Washington
himself was inaugurated President clad
in garments every one Of which had
been the product Of our native land Adj
miring friends of Vice President Adams
could find no other gift so appropriate
as rolls Of homemade cloth.
1t was Americas first notification to
Europe that in wearing apparel as we'll
as in government it was able to walk
without the aid OF foreign crutch.-Phil-

Domestic troubles in the fifth cen<

dictment by wife of her cross-grain-

the household keys and bolted the door
when she had gone out to church. There
is delightful letter of the second CEN
fury, Is. c., sent from headquarters
to officials in the Fayum, ordering
them to have everything ready for

wanted to see the sights and was to

sacred crocodiles; another, from

says he had carved his friends names

aid of which we may construct a
realistic picture Of Graeco-Roman pro-
vincial life in Egypt.
These non-literary documents cover
a period of rather more than thou
sand years. Egypt passed under the
rule of the first Ptolemy in b. G. 323.
and from that time till the Arab con-
quest in A. .. GAL Greek became the
official language of the country. The
earliest dated Greek papyrus at pres
ent known is a marriage contract OF the
year 81 B. C. After the Arab con-
quest Greek continued to be employed
side by side with Arabic so long as
papyrus remained in use as writing
material: but after the first half or
the eighth century the Greek language
receded into the background and Is

A recently published Berlin papyrus
preserves an edict Of the Emperor

demonstrations on the part Of the pop

Roman Emperor was more modest

draft of the actual proclamation an

While Great Britain has to import

such regulation by law as will con-

fit, we favor the adoption by the next
General Assembly of a resolution sub

II. The Republican Party in Ken
lucky is responsible for, and deserves
the credit for, the county unit law In
1907 we declared definitely for the To-
cal option law, with the county as the
governing unit. In 1911 we again de-
clared for the county unit law in ac-
cordance with the constitution. We
now declare our continued adherence
to the county unit law, and we do
hereby indorse the present county unit
law of Kentucky and pledge ourselves
to its strict and rigid enforcement, and
we favor the adoption of such amend
ments thereto as may be necessary to
make it effective beyond question.
