Coleman du Pont ives born in Ken
lucky and started his working life ia
| the mines of the Blue Grass State. He
stands today as one of the few sue
cessful men who have acquired theil
!, positions by methods that will stand
scrutiny He has been a producer
not 2 stock jobher. He has never an
tagonized any class Of people. Capital
and Labor alike admire him.
Without self-a.ivertiseme1t he does
more charity than do most men. lie lie
an ardent advocate OF gocd roads and
believes that a really perfect system
of highways win enhance the farmer,
income and reduce the cost OF living
| to the cities. He has built roads ane
given them TO his state, always with {
sound business scheme to perpetuste
them aud save them from being 8
burden to the taxpayers.
He comes from family more Amer
lean than most-a family identified
with the building of the nation since
the Revolution. His grandfather was
Thomas Jefrerson's most valued per
sonal friend and advisor in the time
of great need during the dark days
of the Republic.
The great Powder Company with
which he was formerly identified has
, supplied our governmeE. with all its
powder at price always named by
our government officials themselves
| and never by the company.
Because of his great executive abil
ity and high standing in the business
world, some of the shrewdest 20.
liticcl minds in the country consider
him as being one of the most likely
dark horses for the Republican
nomination. They point to the TACT
that his success in life would eilmin.
alto any need fer n friendly Colonel
House, or any other financial influence
standing ever behind the presidential
chair. Nor would he be compelled to
take orders from any man or group of
men.
| Another factor that the supporters of
General du Pont are pointing to is his
knowledge OF military affairs. For
sixteen years he has been identified
with the soldiery of his state and is
thoroughly alive to the necessity for
preparedness. lie has also had
practical training in politics, nav
ing been a delegate to q number of
State and National conventions, and
serving as a member of the Republican
National committee for many years.
1t is the splendid business training
of General du Pont that is pointing
,he way for him TO the nom
nation For II is conceded on all
sides that the biggest problems OF this
country at the close of the European
war will be business problems. and
there are few men among those men-
toned, who have had his experience
in coping with such huge problems.

WOnan's Club

A pleasant meeting of the Woman's
Club was held Monday evening in Acad-
envy Hall, the change of place being made
to accommodate the students of the up
per classes of the Academy who were in
terested in the lecture.
During the business hour the report of
the committee who have been investigat-
ing the matter of securing a district
nurse for the winter months was given.
Mrs. Sears, the chairman, reported that
they had been most cordially received in
all quarters. The Methodist and Con-
gregational churches have pledged $50
each, the Catholic church So, the Grange
$25 and the other churches and organi-
cations are to give something, although
they were not prepared to state the exact
sum at present. The Woman's Club vot-
ed $780, which it was thought placed
the matter on firm enough basis finan-
cially to warrant going on with the
project and committee was selected to
complete the organization.
The speaker of the evening was Rev. l.
O. Smart of Burlington, whose subject
was IA Simple Reader and His Shake
speare." At the commencement of his
talk DR.. Smart disclaimed any intention
of presenting philosophical or critical
paper on the poet but he Immediately
showed he had one prime requisite of a
good lecturer, viz, sympathetic under
standing and love of his subject. He dis
cussed some of the plays as whole but
more particularly the great characters
as Hamlet, Oordelia, Falstaff and Others,
reading passages to illustrate his con-
ception of them. His rich humor, charm
ing diction. vivid characterization and
sympathetic Interpretation of these mas
terpieces made the lecture most enjoyable
and inspired all with desire to become
more familiar with their Shakespeare.

For Retroactive Benefit From
County Salary LdW for Deputies
Supreme Court Decision Awards Maximum Hire

Sheriff Elias Garcia, of Rio Arriba,
county, today won his fight in the su.

opinion is by Justice Hanna, Chief
Justice Roberts and Justice Parker
concurring.
When the Rio Arriba county com
missioners refused to allow Garcia
more than $500 a year for deputy hire
for the years 1912, 1918 and 1914, Gar

district court to force payment Of
$500 a year, the maximum amount

on the ground that he had paid out to
deputies more than that sum-. Judge

court follows:
