PETER sruYvEsANr.

Peter Etuyvesant was a native Of
Holland who came to this country in
l647 and remained long enough to
leave his last rame to great many
society people who never knew him
personally.
Stuyvesant made his home in New
York City, which at that time was
owned in fee simple by Holland and
could have been bought In two jerks
OF lambs tail with Sc bill. New
York did not amount to much in 1645
as 1t consisted mostly Of sandburs and
the homeless inebriated red man.
When Stuyyesant landed there good
corner lot In the business section could
be bought for the makings OF plain
drunk, and real estate business was
at low ebb. 1t would seem that some
bright Spectator would have bought
New York, Brooklyn and Coney Island
and waited for the rise, but such was
not the case.
Stuyvesant was not popular with the
people of New York, as he was high
church man and would not allow any
body to worship In any other language.
He was also strict prohibitionist and
closed some OF the best saloons In the
city without waiting to see how many
votes they controlled. If we had more
mayors like old Peter Stuyvesant to-
day, the unwary stranger could go to
any of our large cities and walk the
streets after dark without being robbed
Of diamond stick pin and several
gold filings at one and the same timo.

Opposition to the promotion of Gray

hours in the senate yesterday.
There is no reason why the fitness of
one who is being forced on over the
heads Of other officers should not be
made matter of close inquiry by the
senate.
1t is offered Of evidence that Grayson
has seen little service Of late years and
the assertion is made that he has been

From proudest stone to meanest

A forest with it's leaves faiths living

A vowed fraternity to lift the gloom

Whose glades are bliss, whose water

How men of soul will have their van

Henry Ford, pacifst, the subject Of
general ridicule because Of his connec-
ton with the peace ship and object Of
contumely and insult by lingo news-
! papers and by interests that flourish
upo war has offered his great plant to
the United States government to be
run at it's full capacity in event of war
without one cent Of profit accruing to
| its owners. Mr.. Ford also pledges his
own services free of any remuneration
and that he will work harder than ever
before
pacificist and patriot; that de-
scribes Henry Ford. When he stands
upon his own ground he becomes an
eminent and patriotic figure. Ford Of
fering his great plant to the govern
ment and his effective service as owner
and manager becomes as prominent as
a manufacturer and labor organizer as
Thomas Edison offering the service Of
his inventive genius. Both are giving
their best
The comparison between the pacifist,
Ford, and those who assailed him is
not to the discredit of the Detroit man.
No munition making magnate has yet
offered his plant free Of profits to the
government. So far the powder trust
and Bethlehem Steel have refrained
from matching the Ford offer.
And as between Ford and the great
and influential newspaper which has
tened to unjustly designate Henry
Ford traitor the comparison appears
to be between a patriot and lingo.
Let us not hasten into Mysteries over
the conviction Of pacifists that war is
an evil and to be avoided If possible:
when the final test comes the pacifists
are reader to offer personal sacrifice
than the vociferant jingoes.
