City in Old Days.
At the time the Nicholson store was
moved into the new location, an open
court stood in the rear of the building,
with a two-story brick building farth-
err back. This building was torn
down later, and an addition built to
the rear of the store section. There
were few two-story buildings on Main
street in the sixties, according to Mr..
Nicholson.

spoken against the senate continuing
to be the worlds most deliberative
body no remedy will be found to ex-
pedite the enactment of needed legis-
lation by changing the political major
lty in congress, in the opinion of near
ly all of those who have given study
to the situation.
No Change Noticed
1t is pointed out that in recent
years the senate functioned Just as
slowly under a Democratic majority
as it has been proceeding for the last
six months under a Republican ma
jority
There are those who believe that 1t
is as important for the American
people to demand a discontinuance of
unlimited debate in the senate as it
was to place the election of United
States senators directly in the hands
OF the voters. 1t is recalled, however,
that the latter reform was not accom-
plished until after half century of
agitation for it.
incidentally, it is mentioned, those
who urged that the election of SEN
ators be taken from the state legis-
latures and be placed in the hands of
| the people contended that if the mem
/ bers of the senate were made directly
responsible to the people it would re-
suit in the upper house, giving prompt
consideration to beneficial legislation.
/ The theory was advanced without
taking into consideration the rule of
unlimited debate.
House Fixes Time.
| When bill comes before the house
/ OF representatives for consideration
+ the committee on rules brings in a
rule fixing the time for its debate. This
time is divided between the majority
and the minority. A member who
speaks on the bill knows just how long
he will be permitted to talk. If he
wants to talk longer after his time has
expired he must obtain unanimous con.
sent of the members present. Under
this rule the Republican majority in
the house has made excellent progress
with the administration legislative
program during the present special
session.
! The house sent to the senate in July
the tariff bill after month of con
sideration. 1t was followed by the taz
revision bill. That was followed by
the anti-beer bill. That was followed
by the railroad refunding act, and last
week the house also sent to the senate
/, the bill providing for a commission tc

All of these measures, with the ex

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
Selected

4 DWELL will not be epitomized.
4 His many-faceted genius cannot be
gathered into one title. Poet, of
course, he was, and as poet he is most
widely known and best understood, sit
ting unchallenged in the company of
those who have seen and reported "the
bloom and fragrance of all human
knowledge" He was a poet as Isaiah
was poet, by right of a moral passion
that took his country to his heart, and
warned, entreated, prophesied, and shep-
herded the people in ways of righteous
ness. Throughout his career the poet
can only be said to dominate if, under
that appellation we include the prophet
and reformer. Lowell's father touched
this trait in his generous comment on
the boys habit of strolling on the veranda
while family prayer was going on with
in: "James is not serious as yet, but he
has good heart, and is foe to every
mortal wrong"
Yet Lowell was not an inheritor of
suffering for conscience sake" as Whit
tier, for instance, was; and his early en-
vironment was not adapted to bring out
radical thinker. With a grandmother
who, on each independence Day, osten-
tatiously dressed in black and tasted and
deplored "our late unhappy difference
with His Most Gracious Majesty" a
grandfather who was one of the writers
of ponderous round robin sent by Har-
ward College in 1861 to George III
"Pietas ct Gratulatio;" a father who,
though he had loosed some theological
trammels still held tenaciously to the old
order in religious matters; and mother
whose Orkney forbears had taught her
that the past might be called up by GER
tain incantations- the prospect for a pio-
neer in thinking might have been judged
slender.
Then there was Elmwood, which he
loved with'a poets ardor, and which he
always said was Tory. 1t was only
half century since its first owner,
Thomas Oliver, one of the Kings coun-
cilors, had consented, at the urgent
recommendation of several thousand of
his fellow townsmen, surging in mob
before his door, to become an absentee"
and Jenny Lowell daily trotted his
pony to the postofice along Tory Lane.
Through the variations of purpose
which attended his first attempts to
study law, the pricks of fortune which
threw upon him the necessity of self
support, and the inspiration which a
great love provided, his attraction to-
ward moral heights is increasingly ap-
parent. "A Years Life" his first vol
ume of poems, and Conversations on
Some of the Old Poets, were practical
ly simultaneous with his out-and-out
adoption of himself as an abolitionist.
Let them wear what kind of queer coats,
and use what extravagant language they
might, he would sit on the platform with
them, and accost the ears of his conser-
vative friends with the phrase-"we
abolitionists." When he reviewed Long .
fellows Poems on Slavery" he took
the opportunity to praise in selected
words-Garrison, "the page 8. Col. s)

GEORGE WASHINGTON
Selected

AEROES, like works of fiction, have
their day and with few exceptions
find their last end in the forgetful-
ness of former worshippers. Every world
crisis is an occasion for revising our list
of immortals. The Great War relegated
many of them to the upper shelves of OBJ
security; thence they shall find oblivion.
Great warriors of former time were
not so great when the war was ended,
great thinkers were found out with all
their limitations and mistakes.
But in the United States the names of
Washington and Lincoln still stand. No
other name has dimmed their luster. No
other set of ideas has thrust theirs into
second place. No other characters have
arisen to claim their touch upon the
imagination of our people.
Washington doubtless has been second
to Lincoln in the place he has filled in the
minds of the people of the United States
this last half century, simply because
Lincoln was more largely human and at
the same time Washington's equal in
political sagacity. George Washington
cannot be said to have touched the imag-
ination nor often warmed the hearts of
the people. 1t is very significant that
the very incidents by which his name is
fastened in the memory of our school
children are apocryphal. We read his
state papers and appraise his political acts
and scan his private character with vast
approval, because there in the beginning
of our history was an aristocrat who
proved true to the principles of Indepen-
dence, even though it may not be said
that he had any profound convictions to-
ward democracy.
George Washington was what now
adays would be considered silk stock
ing" By taste and character he was the
born comrade of the French marquis,
Lafayette. Like at least two of our later
Presidents he believed in being kind to
the common people, but in his mind he
never identified himself with them. One
of our recent Presidents never quite lost
sight, except in his speeches and public
acts, of the fact that he was born "gen-
tleman," and he preferred to do business
through those who were likewise born.
We have very definite aristocracy in the
United States, not only the vulgar aris-
tocracy of money, but that other aris-
tocracy which had sufficient money and
leisure several generations ago to bring
up children and grandchildren in the
attitude, if not of disdain, at least of
aloofness from the common run of men.
1t is by no means common belief in this
country, except among the masses of the
people themselves, that the people are
wise or fit to govern. Our representa-
tive form of government very frequently
turns out to be a device by which the
people are governed in accordance with
the ideas which others entertain of their
best interests.
George Washington was faithful and
efficient to the vision of liberty that he
had, but his was not the modern vision
of liberty, and his place today would
likely be found among the class which
we call reactionary. Safe, conservative,
fairly resourceful, of COM page 8, Col. s)
