hOlier races Enjoyed ny CrOWO.
King and Company, operating the
local skating rink, on last Friday
night held series of roller races
which was enjoyed by large enthu-
siastic audience.
The main event of the evening was
race of 80 laps between Art Green
and Carl Overton. The boys got
away to a close start with Green hav-
ing a shade the best of it, after hold
ing practically the same positions for
about 18 laps Overton had the mis-
fortune to fall and Green gained a
lead that could not be overcome.
Overton is not satisfied with the
result Of last nights race and will
challenge Green for another speed
test in the near future.
A very close and interesting race
was the couples race, between Bennie
Fox, Carrie Monohan and Ralph Bra
ley, Iva Vader. This was won by this
first couple by about so feet in race
of 20 laps.

domitable character 1t was his char
acter. slowly built up by poverty and
struggle, which had given him from
the start the leadership over men
who talked more; yes, and who knew
more.
The invincible fortitude Of a people,
herofcally embodied in him, overthrow
the kings army and navy and his
Hessians. The unconQuerable spirit
OF the 5000 hunted, hungering shiv-
ering, ragged Continentals of Valley
Forge wrested from the British crown
an empire greater than all the cor
quests made by Napoleon's grand
army.
At the last, as the Americans leaped
those last hurdles to independence, the
British redoubts at Yorktown, Wash

and we'll done. Bring me my horse"
The war was over. but the noblest
victory was yet to come. Having re-
ceived the surrender sword Of Corn

own. unstained by personal ambition,
to the people who had entrusted it to
him and went back to his farm, from
which he was called to become the
first president Of the republic.
No president has been more bitterly
abused than the first. His cabinet
quarreled until Jefferson. his secretary
of state. resigned, and his next secre-
tary, Edmund Randolph, basely be-
trayed him. His vice president, John
Adams, called him IAN old mutton

'"Treacherous in private friendship and
a hypocrite in public life," Thomas
Paine pronounced him. Because he re-

France, 10000 persons in the streets
Of Philadelphia"-then the capital
"threatened to drag Washington out
of his house." John Adams tells us.
Notwithstanding the Outbursts Of
craftsmanship. he retained the conf

the people at the Inauguration of his
successor followed the retiring presi-
dent into the street and left the new
president all but deserted. The long
