which to provide tho necessary elegance
for such diplomatic severance of re
lations.
But George had faith in Tobias, no
doubt. In the case of said steward. for
instance, he wrote: "Do as you like.
but | should recommend keeping a
steward-preferably Francis. As for
the Dutch girl in the kitchen. you can
use your own judgment about her. -
The context of the letter does not indi-
cate whether a cut in the Washington
expense bills was planned or not. but
it is just possible that Mrs. Washing
ton was going to Palm Bca--was go
ing to visit friends around Selin Grove.
Pa, for month or two.
. At the end of the letter Lear is told
to give Mrs. Washington as much money
as she wants. This was in day. be it
remembered, before the short ton had
been substituted for the long. before the
luxury tax became a necessity. and be =
fore it was toss up with father as to
whether he'd buy the wife new silk hose
or new rear tire for his flivvcr.
There are items among these letters
which show that George Washington
was opposed to clectionccring. 1t is.
therefore, doubtful, whether he could
ever find time for the modern United
states. For he says. in n letter to n
friend who congratulated him on re
election. IL am unwilling to receive any
vote that has been campaigncd for. =
adding. with regard to the trials and
tribulations of the presidential life, that
they are severe. which none hut my
very good friends will believe"
Washington was too polite to infer
that the friends might have been the
cause. As said, he loved truth, but he
had never learned how to tie may | -
not.

YOUNG AMERICA IN ARMS
Nickel BasebaI!s or "BoIshevikis,'

1T costs almost as much to buy a
baseball as it does to bust winder

us fellers to take up jacks and skip the
rope, and dolls" sneered the nine year
old who voices the sentiment of protest
of thousands of youngsters all over the
country against the tax on 'rockets"
and Founders and "dandies."
Tt's simply awful! F. instance {:
Soapy here and me wants to have a

corner and we lays down nickel for a
rocket, and the man says: 'Nothin' doin'
for a nickel. OWN to the war tax
here baseballs cost ten cents Well.
Soapy and me amt got ten cents. And
what do we do? We goes home and
posters the life out of MON for a nickel
more. And she won't give us none.

"How bout rights for us. what needs

other men? Well. if we have, it ought

MANY VOTES CHALLENGED

Balloting will be resumed this after
noon for managers of the Young

466 votes have been cast in the three
days bunoting.
Followers Of Mrs. Joseph A. Hud-
son, president of the Philadelphia Y. w.

Tbby Hartzell, financial secretary for
the last three years of the Kensington
branch, rendered her resignation so she
could vote the insurgent ticket.

titled by the Y. w. C. A., at Eighteenth
and Arch streets. that she has been
elected to membership"
Challenging of votes by both factions
continues to characterize the election
sessions, ana 1t is obvious at least
three more days will be needed to com
plete the election if all of the 100 mem
bers entitled to vote cast their ballots.
The session last night was continued
few minutes beyond the customary
closing hour to permit three negro
women, who declared they could NOT
come again. to cast insurgent ballots.
The vote of Mrs. Robert Diniger,
daughter of Mrs. Hudson, was cast for
her mothers faction last night without
challenge.
Leading representatives of both fac
tions are closely watching the proceed
ings of the election.
No disorder mars the sessions. At
the close of last nights baloting shortly
after 10 80 John NJ. Scott, master of
the election, appointed by the court,
said: Il wish to thank both sidss for

ports Dismissed Teacher
in Statement

Declaring that songs of decidedly
inferior quality are used in many of
the public schools" the Pedagogy
Quartet Club has sided with Russell
Hancock Miles. the former teacher of
the Ellwood Public School. dismissed
for INSTRUMENTATION, in his controversy
with the Board of Education over the
case.
f. G. Korbcck. in a statement issued
for the club, of which he is president
today said:
I'm the opinion of the club Mr.. Miles
is man of exceptional education and
of such unQuestionable judgment as
makes it difficult to believe that he
could be guilty of conduct which would
lead his colleagues to petition for his
removal
Here reference is made to a state
ment signed by every member of the
faculty of the Ellwood School, in which
it was said that they would have gone
to higher authorities if Mr.. Miles
had not been removed.
The statement of the Pedagogy Club
continues:
Regarding the type Of music which
seems to be the center of this discussion,
the club wishes to state its knowledge
of the fact that songs of decidedly
inferior quality are used in many of
the public schools. The club desires to
go on record in protest against these
songs, and desires to enlist the co OPP

cations in establishing such a public
interest in the matter as to amount to

OF twenty letters, known ms the Wash

were written by the man who could not
tell lie. Logically, since the Father
of His Country could not tell n lie, it
was up to him either to be master of
his household, or forever hold his peace.
Holding his peace was not part of
Washington's program. He had to cut
loose occasionally. Why, he even used
to throw dollars across the Delaware
river, they say.
The trend and. tenor Of the letters
offered by the connoisseurs here is to
the effect that Martha used to let George
do it. and as result they had good
stewards and kitchen gpls and probably
there were very few colonial flies in

B. B. Smith, who has charge of the work at the Abe Lincoln or Blue Nose mine. recently bonded by Colonel R. R. Rich ardson to the Layman Syndicate of Jerome, is one of the most competent mining men who has recently come to the district, as his work at this new old prop erty indicates. MT. Smith is a practical man who believes in doing things while the doing" is good. Taking charge of this property a few weeks ago, he has already accomplished won derS and the camp has under gone many changes. Necessary buildings are being constructed, {, pure water has been piped to the mine a distance of 5000 feet, machinery has been hauled out and installed, and a force of men is employed in sinking opera tions, three shifts being used that the work may be rushed to completion and the question de- termined whether or not the Blue Nose will repeat it's won derful record as producer of the white metal.
 MT. Smith is confident that he will make a mine out of this property in a comparatively short time, every indication, ac- cording to MT. Smiths judg- ment, being in favor of success with practically no possibility of failure. e.-PatagOnian.

A body of ore has recently been uncovered at the Great Sill yer group in Jefferson Camp, which gives promise of develop ing into something big. This property has been worked con- stantly by the owners, George F. Wieland and J. w.

The new body carries silver, gold and lead, with a small percentage of copper, and apparently is far richer than other ore shipped from this property in the past, which returned better than 50 ounces of silver to the ton.- PatagOnian.

THE AMERICAN LEGION.

It has been earnestly stated, as might have been expected, that the American Legion will be strictly non -patisan. This much might be inferred from the circumstance that one of the leading associates of Roosevelt in organizing the Legion, is Lieut.. Col. Bennett Clark, a son of the late~Democratic Speaker of the House Of Representatives.
 Colonel Roosevelt is sufficient authority for the assurance that the movement is neither parti- san nor political. He calls it "an associs tion which will keep alive the principles of justice, freedom and democracy for which these veterans fought. !" Viewed in that sentimental, eth ical and patriotic light, it is a undertaking. The American people will wish 1t we'll, and be glad to see it flourish.
 The American Legion should be a strong body and radiate a powerful influence of the steady ing, patriotic kind. We should say that not far from four mil lion men will be ultimately eligi- ble to membership, if every one who wore the American uniform is qualified for admission. Such a body, composed largely of the cream of our young citizenship, should prove mighty conserva tive and salutary influence. - Syracuse Herald.
