 IS WITH FORD PEACE PARTY

"Jake," @ New York Western nnion messenger boy with an inherent de- sire for travel and adventure, is 8 member of the Ford peace party of whom little has been heard. Miss Lel- la Faye Secor. a Seattle woman, who is with the party, tells of "Jake" in a letter
 "Jake's" position has not yet been determined" says Miss Secor, "as he Is not equipped with passport. Jake was a Western Union messen- ger boy who had a hankering for tra- vel and learning, Realizing the utter futility of hoping to be invited to join the Ford peace party, he decided to go anyway. He faxed Q message to one of the guests on board, and the promptly slowed himself away In the dark recesses of bath room. He was clever enough not to make his ap- pearance until the pilot boat was well beyond recall. Then he made clean breast of his desire for adventure. and has proved himself most useful ally as messenger boy throughout the voyage"

wAsHlNeroN's BIRTHDAY.

Today was the isith anniversary OF
the birth OF George Washington. the
founder Of his country The occasion
was observed throughout the country
as holiday and In many places with
patriotic exercises honoring the mem.
ory OF the country's first citizen.
Though one hundred and seventeen
years have passed since his death.
and all that remained OF him has been
but sleeping dust. yet his memory Is
as green and is cherished In the hearts
of the people with that same affection
as when he lived and walked upon the
earth. His name is immortal and as
an inspiration to the rising genera.
ton. what II means to be the doer OF
good and great things, we quote the
following tribute TO Washington by
Major General Lee, delivered In con.
gress on Dec. 20. 1893:
The founder OF our federate repub'
lic-our bulwark in war. our guide in
peace. Is no more. His fame
survives!-bounded only by the limits
OF the earth. and by the extent Of the
human mind. He survives In our
hearts. In the growing knowledge Of
our children. in the affections Of the
good throughout the world. and when
our monuments shall be done away;
when nations now existing shall be no
more; when even our young and far
spreading empire shall have persisted.
still win our washington's glory un.
faded shine. and die not. until love OF
virtue cease on earth. or earth iteslf
sinks into chaos"

SENATOR BAILEY
NOT A CANDIDATE
VIII Not Make Race for United ststes
Senator at This Time.

Washington. Feb. 22.-Former sena-
tor Bailey has returned to Washington
following his business trip to the Pa.
cific coast and his brief visit 10 Texas.
He win not be a candidate for the
senate In 1916.
The Texans in Washington have
been Just as deeply interested during
the last three months as the Texans
at home In the decision to which Sem
ator Bailey would come with respect
to the senatorial election.
Everybody here recalls. OF course.
thpt something like n year ago tho
senator publicly announced he would
not be candidate this year, and that
he reiterated that determination at
the Dallas banquet. but they also know
that tremendous pressure has been
brought to bear on him during the last
two or three months. and some OF his
closest friends have predicted that he
would at last be compelled to yield
to that pressure.
Thousands Of Letters Urged Him to
Run.
He has received thousands of let
ters pleading with him TO become q
candidate. and a very considerable
proportion OF those letters have come
from men who opposed him In that
memorable fight eight years ago. but
while Senator Bailey has not author
lied your correspondent to speak for
him and seems to think that his an.
nouncement made a year ago does not
need to be supplemented with another
announcement to the same effect.
feel safe In saying that Senator Bailey
will not be candidate for the senate
this year.
The appeals which had come 10 him
we're not without their effect upon his
mind. and though he does not desire
to return to the senate. he was almost
persuaded to become a candidate
when the question OF preparedness
became burning issue.
As Senator Bailey stated In letter
TO friend some time ago. he Is utter
ly opposed TO the socalled prepared
ness which the president is now so
earnestly advocating" and no man
who knows Senator Bailey. whether
that man be friend or foe. believes
for one moment that he would recede
a hairs breadth from his position In
order to be elected to any office. even
II he was ever so anxious TO have that
office
