Buys "Liberty Bond" for Grandson.
One of the most lovable and rare
characters in the Treasury Depart,
ment is Richard P. Green, for near
ly half a century attached to the
personal staff of the Secretary of
Uncle Sans massive storehouse of
finance. For many years, covering
the tenure of nineteen secretaries of
the Treasury-Mr Green had been d
messenger and rose to the post OF
chief of his grade. Through the gen,
crosby of Secretary McAdoo, Mr.
Green some time ago was promoted
TO clerkship and given raise in
salary to $1,000 per annum.
Mr.. Green is very fond of the Mr.
McAdoo and his family; so, when the
Secretary purchased for his little
daughter a Liberty Bond" Mr.
Green followed suit and bought one
a $50 registered bond-for his grand
son, Master Frank Payne, who reach.
ed his six birthday on the 10Th OF
this month. In this practical fashion
two natal anniversaries are honored
and the nation is 500 to the good on

Bruce Again ain Bad"
Roscoe Conkling Bruce was con-
spicuous by his absence from the
magnificent function in honor of the
S0th birthday anniversary of Govern
or Pinchback Much adverse COM
ment has been expressed by reason
of his failure to subscribe, it being
borne in mind that the father of
young Bruce and the valiant Pinch
back were close friends and political
allies in the trying Reconstruction
period. This neglect of "the Last of
the Old Guard" on his part, when
the entire country was afame with
enthusiasm and eager to pay a tri-
butte to the former contemporary of
Senator Bruce, is taken as another
indication Of R. G. Bruce's inability
to measure up to the races expecta-
lions as a leader of thought, morals
and the simplest amenities of daily
life. Bruce Is not wanted any long
er as the head of the colored school
system in the District of Columbia
He has already served too long for
the good of the people he misrepre-
sents.
