Today We CT eWdte
Anniversary of sheridan's Ride.

Anniversary Of S~herfdan's Ride.
Poems, paintings, school histories
and the movies" nave served to per
p~etuate in the popular mind the I'M
mortal twenty-mile ride of Gen. Philip
; Henry Sheridan. which perhaps made
a more powerful appeal to the north
ern Imagination than n other single
exploit of the American civil war. IL
was Just fifty-four years ago today. on
! Oct. 10, 1854, that "Sheridan's ride
was added to the long list OF dramatic
Incidents of warfare.
On the date in question, Sheridal
had been to Washington. and had
reached Winchester, twenty miles
from his army, on the return trip. In
the early morning of that day. with
Sheridan twenty miles away" the
Union soldiers were surprised at Ce-
dar Creek by a flank movement Of
Early's Confederate army. They n
not expected an attack, and fled IN
utter rout, with the victorious Con-
federates in close pursuit. Sheridan
riding southwark, heard the roar OF
artillery, and pushed his horse ut full
creed. Every American schoolbov
holds In his mind a mental picture OF
that wild ride. and of the arrival OF
the general among his disordered and
flying troops.
Gone on. boys! We're going
back" Sheridan shouted. Instantly
the panic and fear changed to brav-
cry and determination. The lines
were quickly reformed, and in the
fierce conflict which followed, the vic
torious Confederates were so severely
repulsed that Early's army never ar
terward made head in the valley.
Sheridan was rewarded with the ap-
pointment to the rank of maJor-gen-
eral and was placed in chief COM
mand Of the federal cavalry. The
thanks of Congress were rendered to
him for "the gallantry, military skill.
and courage displayed in the brilliant
series of victories achieved by his
army In the valley of the Shenandoah,
especially at Cedar Creek"
In "~Sheridan's Ride" Thomas Blu
chanan Read produced n of the
most stirring and appealing of Amerl-
can patriotic ballads. Read was II
painter as we'll as a poet, and his
painting "Sheridan's Ride" has been
reproduced in hundreds OF historical
works. He was a native of Pennsyl-
.vania. studied art at Cincinnati, and
was a portrait painter in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia. From 1850
until his death in 1872 he spent most
of his time in Europe, residing prin-
cipally in Florence and Rome.

Four Minute Talks
by william III. Bawden.

Render to all their dues; tribute
to whom tribute is due. owe no man
anything. save to love n another;
for he that loveth his neighbor hath
fulfilled the law" These words have
frequently been rea in the services
OF our various churches. Now they
have been lived before our eyes, and
In a way that we shall never forget.
1t is doubtful II our city ever be-
fore passed through more trying expe-
riences than those of the past week.
Never before have we been SO nearly
down and out. All praise to u own
men and women whom duty called
and danger to difficult posts and ardu-
Gus tasks who did not finch but
served without counting the cost. II
was for our own homes and the lives
of ourselves and our loved ones. 1t
might have been expected, but 1t Is
nevertheless very pleasant to record.
But what shall we say to those who
came before the reverberations had
sef away. who came without call. In
yponsc to the human need that they
Knew must exist; II came at the
call OF love. not duty, without thought
of danger IL only they might serve?
There are no words hat can ade-
quately express how the citizens of
this community feel toward these.
who are still with us with their loving
deeds of mercy.
Nor is II the spirit only OF their
service which has amazed us and
which calls forth our admiration. The
efficiency of the organization with
which they are seeking our rehabita-
ton appeals no less strongly to our
generous response of praise. Quietly
and calmly. without fuss or feathers,
they have placed their strong hands
on the helm OF the careenlng COM
munity ship and have nightly help
ed us to steady and right 1t.
Distinctions are apt to be invidious,
and it Is certain that nobody desires
to single out any one organization
as having rendered the best service.
Nevertheless 1t Is doubtless rue that
the nattily uniformed young women
who have been In our community dur
Ing the past week ave silently called
DTent APPROPRIATION. But
tribute and honor Is due to all. and
this community, man. woman and
child. hastens to pay IT, and without
stint.

Happy Izzy Is
Real Moose Now

Izzy's fund of humor seems In
exhaustible. The funny Hebrew
character, played by Monte Car
ter at the Oak theater, joins the
Moose lodge this week in his lat
est musical show, "Izzy the
Moose" and by the time the show
is over he's able to say Howdy
Pap" with the best Of 'em.
Carter's ability to play the
same character week after week,
yet inject entirely new humor into
each play and refrain from any
repetition, makes him quite per-
sonage in the work of stock COM
panies. "Izzy the Moose" is as
different from any of the previous
musical shows as day is from
night, altho even more comical
than its predecessor, and Izzy
doesn't repeat a single gag from
the last show.
For You a Rose" sung by
Phyllis Gordon, is one Of the big
song hits of the show. The Down
Home" rag by Ira Robinson is an
other hit. Del Estes has a popu-
lar song in Nanny Jinny's Hall
of Fame" The dancing chicks
have some new costumes and nifty
steps.

MACK HAS RIGHT TO SELL STARS AS
FANS DIDN'T SUPPORT HIS winners

Connie Mack has often been
called the brainiest manager in
the big leagues. His ability to
build up great baseball machines
together with his generalship in
managing those machines on the
field have given him that reputa-
ton.
Mack has had two great base
ball machines since the American
league began IS years ago and
had another on the way last sum-
mer. Mack finished in the cellar,
but he had club of youngsters
who could hit the ball and he had
some very promising recruits with
whom he expected to force himself
into a select place in the league
within a year or two.
There probably was no more
disappointed man in baseball than
Mack when he found Is of his
men, some of them the hubs round
which he was building his ma
chine, were called by the draft. It
meant that the work Connie had
been doing since the fall of 1914
had gone to smash.
There were two things Mask
could do. He could try to build
up a club around the few stars
who remained to him and lose
money or he could sell his stars
and begin over again and make
up for his losses.
Mack chose the latter step and
for a good reason.
Over a space of four years Mack
had a winning team, winning the
pennant three times and finishing
second once. In spite of the fact
that his players were not paid
huge salaries and that the club
was operated economically he lost
money. On this account he de-
cided to break up his club In 1914
and get what he could from the
sale Of his players.
His sales netted him $4,000,
enough to cover his deficits and

"Johnny's Car"

One of the funniest bits of COM
edy shown on a local vaudeville
stage the past season is Harry

New Car" which heads the new
Pantages program. It's an up
roarious bunch of nonsense put to-
gether so cleverly that the entire
audience keeps up running fire
OF laughter during the entire act.
Johnny and his girl go out for a
ride in the new car 1t is a trick
auto and the funny capers that it
cuts would arouse the humorous
sympathy OF any car owner.
The new bill is a credit to Mr..
Pantages' fine theater. Rose Rosa
