FiDeM Minutes aDay With O. rPresidents
wasbington-.F First in War
By JAMES MORGAN.

Where the gray columns of the
Subtreasury in Wall Street stand to-
day, in the financial center of the
richest country of earth, this great
Nation vas started without a cent III
the treasury and without credit, doubt
ed at home and scorned abroad. Its
best visible asset was supplied by the
fame and character of the tall man III
"a simple brown suit of Connecticut
made cloth, who stood on the balcony
of the hastily improvised National
Capital solemnly bowling to the crowd
in the street as it caught up the cry
Of Long Live George Washington"
Foreign Powers had shown their
contemptuous Indifference by not
sending one ~full-fedged Minister to
honor the birth of the republic. So
, little did even the chosen Senators
, and Representatives care for their new
honors that Congress had to wait four
weeks for a quorum, and this negli-
| gence delayed eight weeks the first
Inauguration of a President.
AS Washington kissed the Bible and
lifted his grave countenance to the
cheering throng In Wall Street. he
was faced by problems more COM
plicated than those which had con-
fronted him In the Revolution. With
out a working model before him, the
whole machinery of a novel govern
lmGnt must De CredIeu ullueI uiS SuP-
ervision almost in a day, and he mad
no experience in civil administration.
The only uncrowned chief of State
in the world, people were puzzled to
find the proper way of addressing
him. The title of His High Mighti-
ness was seriously debated In CON
gress, but a Pennsylvania German rid
iculed the proposal with the obJectlon
that some successor might not be as
high as Washington by q head. 1t
was wisely decided in the end to call
the President simply the President.
Being older, the States all thought
themselves superior to the infant e
Grafton. Little Rhole Island, still
doubtful whether she cared to belong
to the United States of America, had
not yet come in to complete the Union
of thirteen States. The army consist
ed of Just six hundred SiXty-six men.
Washington promptly went on the
road for the new concern. From Ports
mouth, N. H, to Savannah. Ca, he
persisted in his laborious journeyings
over the muddy trails until he had
~personified before the people of all the
Jealous States the majesty of THE
greater name of American"
This being boldly challenged by the
famous whisky Rebellion" in Penn
I~sylvania, the first President speedily
indicated the supremacy of the Ma
ton, and for three-score years the
ghost of revolt against National au-
I thority was laid. The French Revolu-
ton starting within five days of his In
Iauguration, he gave to international
history the first example of real neu-
. trality. 80.

Enjoy the whooping winds OF
March, exult in every stormy day.
recline beneath a bending larch.
and breathe in all the air you
may. For soon the climate will
repeat the stunt it's pulled for
countless years, and ship in every
brand of heat that 1t can bring
from solar spheres. The later sui
try days of June are just before
you, as you'll find; July will land
upon you soon. and August won't
be far behind. So sit beneath
@ tortured beech. and let the cold
winds fan your brow: enjoy the
March winds as they screech-
you have such blessings with you
now. For soon again you'll have
to rise to tasks meath which the
spirit squirms: again you'll have to
swat the flies and boil the microbes
and the germs. Through long, long
summer nights you'll lie. and yearn
in vain for soothing sleep, and
wish the weather sharps might die,
or moulder in a donjon keep. So

the heat of summer is no joke, and

THE IRISH REPUBLICAN LOAN.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS
We have been frequently asked to-
what use the Irish Republican loan
would be put, and doubtless when the
time comes. the soliciting committees
will be confronted with the same
question when very soon they will be-
gin their work. For practical pur-
poses the money will Immediately as
sure the ~amelioration of hard oondi-

setting up arbitration tribunals and
lin establishing a national civil service
system by which the Irish people In
Ireland will carry on their duca-
tional and civil affairs without re-
course to English courts OF law as
now established. Among other prac-
teal uses to which the bond can be
applied at once. President De Valira
enumerates the following:
The establishing OF a consular
| service to promote Irish trade and
commerce.
The fostering of Irish industries.
such as the development of Irish sea
, fisheries, the appointment of a com
mission to hold public inquiries into
and report upon the industrial resour-
| ces and possibilities of the country.
The establishment of a land mort
| gage bank to ance the resettlement
of untenanted lands.
The encouragement Of reafforesta-
ton.
The money Is to be used oslely for
Ireland's good and Ireland's develop

CONTINUED DELAY.

1t is hard to understand why there
should be so much delay over the
appointment Of a Judge for the dis
trict court, Senator Brown, who Ia
looked upon as the man having the
final voice in the matter as far as ad-
Ivising the governor is concerned, has
denied that the appointment has any
thing to do with his candidacy as a
delegate to the Democratic national
convention. But If the senator per-
sists In holding up the appointment
the suspicion is bound to grow. This
cannot help but have a bad effect on
the senator's chances for success.
There is absolutely no politics in the
public's attitude In the matter. The
'reappointment of Judge Hommann
has been taken for granted ever since
a Democratic governor was elected
last fall. And even had q Republican
governor been elected there still would
have been pressure brought to bear
In Judge Hommann's behalf.
Senator Brown certainly started
something when 1t became known that
he was inclined not to recommend the
reappointment OF Judge Hommann. |
That he has heard from the people
there is no doubt. He knows that he
could not do a more unpopular thing
30 I~norn .,,oI ,no,fpoouc eapfi- |
ment as has been expressed.
The sooner Judge Hommann's name
is presented to the senate by the gov-
ernor for confirmation the sooner will
the confidence that the people have
come to have In Senator Brown be re-
He cannot play politics or
personal favoritism with a court ap-
pointmsnt, especially when such a
capable mar Of his own party. whose
popularity is unquestioned. now holds |
the position.
1t had been hoped that once the
people had spoken In such an en-
phatic the reappointment of
Judge Hommann would have followed
without delay. 1t would have shown |
a willingness on the part of the
senator to serve the public regardless
Of personal inclination. AS week after
week goes by and the appointment
still Is held up the wonderment grows
as to what 1t all means. 1t Is certain
that no one except Judge Hommann
will ever be acceptable to the public.

TRAINING LITTLE CITIZENS;
THE BAG OF MARBL LES

once upon time there was a Bov
who wanted, oh, very much he want
ed. to buy bag of new, smooth, col
ored marbles. So he went with ten
cents to the toy shop and holding out
his money said, Ten cents worth
OF marbles, if you please"
But the Toy Man shook his head
sadly and said, twenty-five cents. II
you please"
But the Boy had only ten cents,
and he was very much surprised.
Why" he asked, "are ten-cent bags
or marbles twenty-five cents?"
In second the Toy Man could tell
him. The trains that bring the stone
from the quarries are not running" /"
ne said. Il must charge more for
what marbles I have"
Now the Boy wanted, oh, very much
he wanted, those marbles, SO what
did he do but go to the Engineer of
the train and ask him why he was
not running his engine.
IN second the Engineer could tell
him. There is no coal being mined,' -
he said, "and how can 1 run freight
train without coal for my engine?"
But the Boy wanted, oh, very much
he wanted, a new bag of marbles, so
he went to the Coal Miner, and asked
him why he was not at work.
At once the Coal Miner could tell
him. "The Grocer asks so much for
his eggs and flour" said the Coal
Miner" that I am going to give up
mining and work at trade in which
! can earn more"
So the Boy saw his bag of marbles
fade farther and farther away, but
still he wanted it ever SO much, be.
cause marbles and boys have been to-
gether for years and years. So what
did the Boy do but go to the Farmer
and ask him why his eggs and wheat
cost SO much.
In few words, the Farmer could
tell Il cannot get anyone to help
me" he said. So the Boy knew that
work was what was lacking, and max.
ing his marbles cost so much.
Let me work for you" said the
Boy
He was a fine, strong boy, and he
| took off his coat and went to work
feeding the hens and gathering eggs,
packing them in crates and taking
| them TO the Grocer. He helped with
the grain harvesting, too, and soon
the Grocer's shelves were so full that
be needed to sell food, and he
| charged less for eggs and flour
The Coal Miner really wanted to
keep to his own trade, and now he
could, with the Grocer's help, for food
was cheaper, and he had all he need
ed. You could hear the ring of mis-
| pick all day long. and coal began to
move to the freight yards. Then the
freight trains began to move. loaded
with all the necessary things of life
and things such as marbles for hap
