How Do You Stand?

The Journals most urgent re-
quest this week is that it's readers
push their subscription accounts
forward year or two, or as many
years as necessary to get them up
into the '20's.
The matter is small, of course, so
small in fact that we have been re-
,luctant to say much about it. How
ever, there is a lot of them for it is
a common custom with Journal
subscribers TO pay their subscrip-
tion accounts in the late winter.
Will you not make this matter
of personal attention and take care
of it soon? Not many understand
how great a help this is in the
newspaper business. 1t is as if a
farmer sold his corn, bushel to a
customer, and had to collect for
each bushel separately. Prompt
liquidation of the little accounts
would be more deeply appreciated
than anyone would believe before
he tried it.

OUR WEATHER EYE
All Cut and Dried

Events of the past four or five
weeks indicate that an unsavory
political deal has been concocted
in Audubon County and that
beginning, repugnant to right-rnind-
ed people, has already been made
IN carrying it tout. 1t appears that
two men have decided whom the
republican party shall elect this
year to two important public Off
ces; and incidentally and as might
be expected, they seem to have
slated themselves for the places in
question.
The two men referred to will not
do. This is of course evident from
the way they have gone about it to
accomplish their secret ends, But
beyond this, they do not seem to
enjoy the largest measure of res
pect and esteem of their fellow citi-
zens, they do not measure up to
the desired standards for the posi-
tlons they covet, and they are ex-
ponents of the vicious spoils system
and of machine methods in local
politics.
The republican party in Audubon
County this year must stand up to
be inspected. 1t has been in power
four years. Now it must give an
account of its stewardship. Voters
will mete out inAexible justice; and
if there is the slightest doubt as to
whether the republicans have man
aged things capably, honestly and
decently during their regime, then
they will be beaten in November.
This is why the party can not make
winning race if it must tote the
evil thing which the two men are
trying to saddle upon it.
The Journal suggests to the two
men in question that in the interests
OF their party, they should step
aside. Their methods will not bear
the light of day, and this is the
ordeal that is ahead if they con-
tinue. Machine politics are dead
in Audubon County and they are
going to stay dead. Whoever tries
to perpetuate them will, we sus-
pect,, come to an untimely end in
this year of grace, 1920.

EARLY DAYS OF
GEORGE WASHINGTON
Glimpses of His Domestic
Life and Character.
Not Unlike Others

The years have brought us, as a
people, growing reverence for
Washington. who was in truth the
Father of His Conntry' and we
learn With wonder not unmixed with
surprise that after all he was man
not unlike other men.
At the age of fifteen Washington
fell in love, and, it is said, wandered
thru the shady groves of Mt. YER
non composing verses which, to say
the least, were very bad. Some of
these lines may yet be seen in
the archives of the Capital in> his
own Handwriting. Miss Mary Bland,
by whom he was smitten, married
Henry Lee, and became the grand
mother of Robert E. Lee, of con-
federate fame in the civil war.
He was next attracted by the
charms of Miss Betsy Fauntleroy
who it seems refused his attentions.
Later at the house Of friend he
met Miss Mary Philipse and speed
lily surrendered. He proposed to her
and was refused. Later she married
Colonel Morris and their house be-
came Washington's headquarters.
In the spring of 1853 he met his
fate, young widow with two chill
dren. She was twenty six, about
three months younger than Wash
ington, and she had wealth. AT
their betrothal ring was ordered
from Philadelphia and is set down
in the accounts, Zone engagement
ring, two pounds, sixteen shillings."
On the sixth Of the following Jan
uary they were married. The BRIDE
groom wore blue coat lined with
red silk and ornamented with silver
trimmings. His vest was embroid-
cred white satin, his shoe and knee
buckles were of solid gold, his hair
was powdered and a dress sword
hung at his side.
The bride was attireds in heavy
brocaded. white silk interviewer
with a silver thread. She wore a
white satin quilted petticoat with
heavy corded white silk overskirt
and high heeled shoes of white
satin with buttons of brilliants. She
had ruffles of rich point-lace, a
pearl necklace, pearl ear rings and
bracelets, and was attended by
three bridesmaids.
The aristocracy of Virginia was
out in full force. On leaving the
church, the bride and her maids
rode back to her home ia a coach
drawn by six horses and guided by
black postboys in livery, while
Washington on his magnificent
horse and attended by brilliant
company rode by her side. One of
the most imposing figures was the
negro servant who, clad in scarlet
uniform booted and spurred, held
his bride rein.

very interesting reading on "I.in-
coin, Clothes and The Man.
The presence Of a former member

much to a delightful social hour,
during which the hostess served a
delicious luncheon.
Mrs. Crouch of Atlantic and

More Colleges

+ More colleges must be built and
facilities of colleges now in opera
ton must be enlarged if the United
States is to take care of the increase
in college attendance. More than
ever before are you. 9 people seek
ing higher education and in this
demand lies the opl,o. tunity of the
denominational school. The edu-
cational survey n w being eonduc-
ted by DR.. Robert L. Kelly of the
Interchurch World Movement
brings to light many interesting and
astounding facts and from them,
the growing field for the denomina-
.tional colleges may be clearly seen.
The world needs ministers and
missionaries as never before, asserts
DIR. Kelly, and his figures prove
that almost all of these are products
of the various sectarian schools.
He cites that ninety percent of the
ministers and missionaries of the
Presbyterian church of the U. S. A.
are trained in Presbyterian schools.
Among the United Brethren, this
percentage is much higher for cler-
gymen and practically every one of
the missionaries are taught in their
own schools. M. e. cole ges grad
uate $3.50 Of their own ministers
and over 500 of the leaders of the
Disciples are taught by that demons
ination.
In ten years, at the present rate
# increased college enrolment,
there will be more than II 900 pros
pective students in the state of
Ohio alone who cannot be taken
care of educationally, even if the
present colleges of that state double
their capacity. The growth of col
lege attendance is far ahead of the
growth in population, the survey
points out. 1T is a glorious oppor-
tunity for the church to mobilize
recruits asserted DR.. Kelly force
fully in a recent interview. More
denominational colleges to train
men and women for work in the
home and foreign fields in the solu-
ton of this stupendous problem
