"BULLY!"

IFrom the Fresno Republican,
1t may be particularly displeasing
to persons who have gloried in Mr..
Roosevelt's retirement from his po-
sition of martial vantage, but the
news must be told: Colonel Roose-
Welt was the first passenger to ride
in the first liberty motor airplane.
Spurned at the capital. laughed out
of court for his military aspirations,
the Colonel is still cheerfully in
terested in the business of fighting.
If he can't go to the battle front, he
will stay behind and cheer. A like
spirit of sportsmanship in all of us,
whether or not we are completely
having our own way in these trying
times, would help the country Won
derfully.

is not feasible and the Attorney Gen
eral suggests that the ballot be so
arranged that man may be able to
vote for any candidate although the
pamphlet list may only include coun-
ty, city and judicial offices. In the
course of his opinion Mr.. Brown
holds that the act for taking of votes
of soldiers docs not apply and has
never heretofore been construed to
apply to soldiers who voluntarily en-
listed in the Regular Army and un-
der present conditions should be linn
tied to members of the National
Guard who have been requisitioned
into the service of the United States
or members of the National Army
who have been selected under the
conscription law" This is in har-
mohy, adds Mr.. Brown with what
was done during the Philippine War.

ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA

But n certain man named Ananias,
with Sapphira his wife sold a pos
session, and kept back part of the
price. and brought a certain part.
and laid it at the apostles feet. But
Peter said. Ananias, why hath Satan
filed thine heart TO lie to the Holy
Ghost? Thou hast not lied unto
man but unto God. And Ananias
hearing these words fell down and
gave up the ghost. And it was a
space of about three hours after,
when his wife, not knowing what
WAS done, came in. And Peter ans
wered unto her, Tell me whether we
sold the land for so much? and she
said, Yea. for so much. Then Peter
said unto her, How is it that we
have agreed together to tempt the
Spirit of the Lord? Then fell she
down straightway at his feet, and
yielded up the ghost. = Acts V,
to 10.

~ EOPLE who are really interested
in an American First" policy
will find food for thought in a
paragraph in a recent report from
the American Consul at Birming-
ham, England. He says:
Glass making is an old estab-
lished industry in the Birming-
ham district, but the industry be-
fore the war was in an unsatis-
factory state, owing to it's in
ability to hold it's own against the
inroads Of foreign competition.
That competition came from the
continental countries of Europe. We
have had a similar experience.
Under Republican tariff laws there
was some foreign competition, which
is evidence that the rates were not
prohibitive. The Democratic tariff
law of 1913 cut the import duties in
varying degrees, some of the cuts
being only % per cent. while others
were as heavy as so per cent. AL
though the lower rates were in force
only a few months before the war
began, the importations increased
immensely, in some classes as much
as 140 per cent. AS a consequence.
we sent good American money to
Europe in increased quantities to
buy glass, and the American worker
went on part time or quit entirely,
The industry was rapidly drifting in
to the condition described by the
Consul at Birmingham, where the
glass industry was unable to hold
its own against the inroads of foreign
competition" The war revived our
glass industry just as it did the glass
industry of Birmingham.
Professor Taussig. who was select.
ed as the six-year chairman of our
new Tariff Commission, says that II
is folly for us to make a thing our.
selves when we can buy it cheaper
elsewhere. While it is to be hoped
that he will adopt the habit Of

Admiral Won Tirpitz, the originator
of submarine frightfulness, is quoted
as saying that peace without a

safely said of Great Britain, France

MOLLY PITCHER--H HEROINE

Sergeant John Hays was wounded
at the battle of Monmouth, June %,
1878.
Mary Ludwig Hays (Molly
Pitcher) returned to Carlisle, Pa,
with her wounded husband, and af-
ter his death she married Sergeant
George McKolly Cor McCauley.)
She died January %, 1882, and
was buried with military honors. The
Pennsylvania Assembly 1S21-1S22
granted a pension to Molly McKolly
Cor McCauley) for services rendered.
This monument erected by the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, June 2S,
| 1916"
The other tablet bears this inscrip-
ton:
Mary Ludwig Hays (Mory
PitcherD accompanied her husband
during his services in the Continen-
| tai Army, and rendered valuable
service in the capacity of an army
nurse, and by reason of her many
| acts of kindness became known
| throughout the army from the Oft
repeated expression, Here comes
Molly and her pitcher, as Molly
Pitcher
''At the battle of Monmouth, June
2S, 1878, Sergeant John Hays was
severely wounded and as he fell to
the ground, Molly sprang to the can
non he had been serving, which
cannon had been ordered to the rear,
but before the gun could be with
| drawn she had taken her husband S
| place and rendered such valiant SER
vice that General George Washing
ton, after the battle, thanked her
personally for her bravery and heroic
| action"
The inscription concludes with
| Sarah Woods Parkinson's poem:
Ger Monmouth's field of carnage
drear,
With cooling drink and words of
| cheer
A woman passed who knew no fear
The wife of Hays, the gunner.
With ramrod from her. husband s
hand
Beside his gun she took her stand
And helped to wrest our well-loved
land
From England's tyrant king.
From the ranks this woman came,
BY the cannon won her fame;
i 'Tis true, she could not write her
name
But freedoms hand hath carved 1t.
. Shall we then criticise her ways?
! Nay, rather give her well-earned
praise,
Then doff our caps and voices raise
In cheers for Molly Pitcher.
To the rear of the imposing monu-
ment stands a simple slab, with this
inscription:
MOLLY McCAULEY,
Renowned in History as

The Heroine of Monmouth,

IN III CSI1 mas Deen written Oh molly
W Pitcher, the heroine of Mon
mouth. Many of the stories
told of her are undoubtedly true;
earlier events in the life of this
remarkable woman are not fixed, but
her place in history is secure.
Molly Pitcher was born at old
Marblehead, near Boston. The vine
covered home in which she first saw
the light of day is still standing, and
Is pointed out to visitors as one of
the sights of Boston.
Writing in a Pittsburgh paper, a
correspondent tells of Molly Pitchers
part in the great conflict which
ragged between the Continental army
and King Georges troops, in which
this fearless woman played a pro-
minent part:
Surely it is better that one OF
the many heroines made by those
trying times should live in history,
and go down to poSterity in mofu-
ments of stone and tablets of bronze,
than that all should be forgotten, or
at least have but a single line in a
1,000-paged history.
Build for her monument, pen
for her laudacious verse, star her in
drama, write her name large on the
fadeless page of history. She was
typical of her type of woman, and
fortune favored her with opportun-
ity to do that which thousands of
others would have done under like
conditions. Forgetting her faults,
and winking at her weakness, we
may all honor her name, and in so
doing honor ourselves"
1t will not be news to most readers
of this paper that it is not necessary
to journey to old Marblehead to be-
hold statute of Molly Pitcher.

By the Ex-Committeeman

Philadelphia's mass meeting to
protest against use of gunmen in
politics and to demand change of
policy on the part of the city admin
istration as regards policemen not
only turned out to be larger than
expected, but developed such strong
resolutions that it may have a state
wide effect this fall. Without eXcep-
ton the Philadelphia morning pa
pers note the determination express
ed and the enthusiasm which greet
ed the denunciation by prominent
Philadelphians of the conditions.
While the meeting was in progress
District Attorney Rotan secured
through the New York authorities
confessions of men arrested in that
city for their part in the Philadel-
phia election scandal and the morn
ing newspapers say that he is pre-
pared to move against men higher
up. One of the most sensational re-
ports regarding the confessions of
the gunner is that the men arrest
ed say that they were taken to a
police station and there supplied with
weapons. The stories printed to-day
by the Philadelphia newspapers are
similar and indicate that there must
have been a good working agreement
among some people in politics
and the police on one hand and gun
men on the other. Arrests which will
involve prominent men are openly
