Cambridge, Mass, June 49,
Era-Leader,

Dear Editor:
If you will permit
me to write a few lines for your

best to interest the people who
shall read my efforts. Being
from Washington Parish, I hope
| can make friends and acquaint-
ances appreciate the efforts thus

Probably some of the home
folks already know we're l am
and my object and end. For ex-
PLANTATION, |, with about fifty
other volunteers from New Or

Eighth Naval District came to
Cambridge to enter Harvard
University for the study of wire
less telegraphy directed by
United States Navy Department.
Already there are nearly $50
reserves in this college who are
at work in radio.
Cambridge and Boston have
many notable things of interest,
such as subways under which I
have never gone before coming
northward. On the campus of
Harvard University are MANY
marks of the Revolutionary war.
An interesting sight is looked
upon when one goes to the elm
tree under which George Wash.
ington took charge of the Ameri.
can forces in July 1775. A stone

inscription in honor of the chief,
Another stone marks the place

miles.

the study of literature would be
pleased to see some things con.

authors. No doubt every child

has often wondered where it

Cambridge, of which Longfellow
wrote the above, praising the
work of the man in the shop.
Near this same place is consid.
cred the spot where the house
stood in which Oliver Wendell
Holmes was born.
The University itself dates as
far as the early part of the 18th
century if no earlier, Some of
the buildings are antiquated but
are firm, being built of good ma
terial. In a department. of it's

ate Washington

that Of any other American, and 1t Is
hard to realize that for the great deeds
he had accomplished he eshould have
made great many enemies who tried
by every means to blacken his charac-
ter and break his popularity with the
people.
The custom of celebrating the ODD
Of February in honor Of Washington's
birthday dates back to 1888 On that
day and year number of gentlemen
who admired him met in q tavern In
New York. One had written an ode.
and another brought list of toasts.
The celebration at once became popu.
lar, and the historian says, March
was far gone before the GaZettes and
Advertisers ceased to publish nara
tives of the bonfires and the barbe-
cues, the bell ringing, the cannonading,
the feasting, ETC., which came in from
every town In the land"
But there was considerable part of
the community who looked upon these
celebrations with hidden rage. These
consisted mostly of the admirers of
France and the new republic, and they
claimed that the president was an aris-
tocrat. Was he not cold and reserved?
Did he not carefully avoid the use of
the word servant when he signed
his letters? Did he not keep q fine
coach? Had he ever been seen min
Cling with his fellow men at the cof
fee house or on the street?
But Washington paid no attention
to the willful misconstruction of his
most innocent acts. In 1906, for the
first time i'm the history of the country,
the Office Of president was open to
competition. Twice had Washington
been chosen by vote of the electoral
rollege and twice inaugurated with
the warmest appreciation of great
majority of the people.
But the times had now changed. In
1880 and 1902 every man was for him.
In 1796 I'm every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
an aristocrat, as monocrat, as an
anglomaniac. Yet, much as his popu-
larity had suffered, it was still great
and powerful, and thousands Of men
In the Republican party would gladly
have seen him seated for the third
time, but he refused and on the 18th
of September made public his fare

verely. Press.
