DE VALERA FIGHTS
IRISH FREE STATE
Opens Campaign With Demon
stTatiOn in Dublin.

Dublin = cannon de Valera open
ed the campaign against the pro-
visional government with a great de-
monstration held in O'Connell street.
Three large platforms had been
placed for the speakers, and each was
surrounded by large crowds. Members
of the Republican and Metropolitan
police regulated the gathering. All
street traffic in O'Connell street was
suspended for an hour by order OF the
Republican chief of police. About
1000 Republican soldiers paraded prior
to the meeting.
De Valera was accorded a great re-
ception. He spoke from the principal
platform at the Parnell statue. Count
Plunkett, who presided, introduced de
Valera as president of the Republic"
Six resolutions were proposed during
the meeting, outlining the attitude of
the Republicans.
The resolutions affirmed that the
Irish nation was one and indivisible,
that all state authority in Ireland is
derived solely from the Irish people ;
that the British crown is an alien
crown. and that Ireland is no part Of
the British empire.
The resolutions further declared
that the articles of the London agree
ment failed to represent the true de-
sires of the Irish people, that the
treaty was obtained under duress, and
that the dali cream is not competent
to give it legal sanction, and therefore
it is null and void. They, added that
to force upon Ireland an election in
volving recognition of PARTITION be-
fore the dali eireann has expressed
its sanction is unconstitutional An
additional resolution called upon the
people for support for the dependents
of prisoners.

REAL WASHINGTON
INTENSELY HUMAN
BY NO MEANS THE DEMIGoD HE
HAS BEEN DEPICTED.
With Strong Powers of Self-con-
trol--Naturaily Melancholy. Ar

The Father of His Country would
hardly have fancied himself In the role
of demigod-as folks nowadays are
disposed to regard him. He was very
human.
When young man, his hair was de
cidedly red. At the age of fifty he
was quite gray, and on occasions of
ceremony his locks (done up in a
queue) were freely powdered, as was
: the custom of the day.
His teeth from early manhood gave
him a great deal of trouble They were,
In fact, badly decayed-dentistry at
that period being an undeveloped art
and this circumstance rather married
his good looks when he smiled or
laughed.
He was also considerably peck
marked, having suffered an attack of
smallpox at nineteen years Of age,
while in Barbados with his invalid
brother. Those were days when most
people had smallpox sooner or later,
vaccination being as yet unthought of.
At fifty-seven (when inaugurated as
President in New York;, he had lost
nearly all of his teeth. He then wore
false set of hippopotamus ivory,
which made him very uncomfortable.
In sitting for his most famous por-
trait, painted by Gilbert Stuart. his
lips were padded out with a wad Of
cotton.
He seems to have had little sense
Of humor, and unquestionably was Of
a most melancholy temperament. The
dinners he gave in New York were
described by his guests as dull affairs.
AS rule, he sat silent, rather sad of
visage, and taking little part in the
conversation. While others talked, he
would keep tsp-tapping on the table
sdge with fork or spoon-a curious
labit he had.
He had a pronounced weakness for
ambling-though always held in
heck by a reluctance to commit him
self imprudently. A born Spectator,
he was constantly engaged in land
deals. He subscribed to every lottery
and rattle that came along, and would
spend many hours at a stretch with
pack of cards, though usually a loser.
To attend and bet on a horse race, he
often went to Annapolis, or even as
ar as Philadelphia.
Spelling was by no means his forte
To the end of his life he wrote win
der" for window, "latten' for Latin,
etc. Nor is this surprising, inasmuch
as his education was finished in vii
lage school, The style of his penmaB-
ship, so neat and clear, followed the

REV. SMITH is
DEAD, FUNERAL
FAIRMONT TODAY

Word was received here last night
of the oath of Rev. H. M. Smith.
which occurred at his home at Mont
gomery, w. Va.
Funeral services to be held at the
M. E. Church South at 2:30 this after
noon in Fairmont in charge of the
pastor,
Rev. Bud Smith, who was quite
elderly, had very wide circle of
friends and relatives in this section
of the state and was known in all
parts of West Virginia.
He was at one time presiding elder
of Fairmont district of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South. He held
this position for eight years. Mr..
Smith had been stationed at various
points in the state and he was ex-
tensively known in church circles.
His kind, courteous manner won for
him legions Of friends. He had a
keen intellect and was recognized as
one of the most learned ministers of
the state.
He was a former resident of Be-
lington and called this city "his
home"
The deceased is survived by his
second wife, formerly Miss Belle
Straight, of Barrackville. He leaves
two daughters, Mrs. Yost, Of Fair
mont; Mrs William Scrimgour, of
Pittston, Pa, and one son, E. M.
Smith, of Huntington. Mr.. Smith
was stricken with paralysis last July
while on trip to Charleston and he
had been an invalid since that time.
The Progressive, along with the
home town folks, mourns the loss of
this good man.

CITY ELECTION
NEAR AT HAND
TWO TICKETS NOW IN THE
FIELD - WOMEN TAKE
ACTIVE PART

The time for holding the city cleo
ton draws near, and an interesting
campaign is shaping itself two of
Belington's prominent men are NOM
mated for mayor, Hon j. A. Viques-
ney on the Citizens Ticket as report
ed last week, Mayor f. G. Radabaugh
on the Law and Order Ticket, report
ed as follows:
A convention was held in the High
School building in Belington on the
evening of February 18th. The pur-
pose was the nomination of candi-
dates for the various Offices to be fill
ed by the election to be held on the
18th day of March next Mr.. @. ].
Broadvater was chosenc chairman and
Dennis Polling secretary. The con-
vention was largely attended by both
ladies and gentlemen. The candidates
were unanimously chosen as follows:
Rev. F. G. Raudabaugh for Mayor;
Dennis Polling for Recorder; O. J.
Rroadwater, first ward; G. w. Will
hanson, second ward; J. M. Terrell
long term) and w. II. Barte (short
term, third ward; and w. d. Rosen-
berger, fourth ward, as councilmen.
The ladies present offered the name
for the ticket which the convention
was pleased to adopt and the ticket
was accordingly named "Law and Or
der by unanimous vote Of the con-
vention.
The convention was harmonious
throughout. Rev. Radabaugh in his
acceptance speech declared, among
other things, that the street talk that
this would be dirty campaign was
out Of order and urged that our best
interests are conserved by clean
methods. The entrance of the wo-
men into the political arena assures
the casting away of much that has
been mean and wrong in such cam
paigns.

The discussion here attempted, how

Elections, but OF his human Weaknesses
Ito show that, like the rest of us,
he was far from godlilSe. This most
admirable of men had certainly Il ter

casions with alarming emphasis. A
story, well authenticated, Is that he
pitilessly beat an Alexandria butcher

merchant had exposed for sale q deer
that was recognized by the master of
Mount Vernon as killed on his own
plantation.
In 1859, few months after his mar
riage, he wrote: Il am now, | believe,

partner for life and / hope to find
more happiness in retirement than |
have ever experienced amidst the wide

Note, If you please, that Washington
was then only twenty years old.
Yet his attitude of mind was elderly,
with touch of sadness.
On his return to Mount Vernon,

at which men nowadays consider that
they have barely reached their hey

had still fifteen years to live, eight of
which were to be spent in administer
ing the affairs Of the nation Dis its
President.
But he was always a melancholy man.
For many years before his death the
prospect of his departure from this
world seems to have been constantly
in his mind. Whence, presumably, the

Finally, losing his pursuers, Horn
examined his plumber Under an arc

long list of attacks on females, created
much excitement Several hours later
a disheveled man presented himself at

Looking for man who stole a

Police Buttorff "You bet we are.''
answered the chief, willing to take up
any clew. "Then here's the damned
fool, lock me up; any man who is fool
enough to take woman's pocketbook
is not fit to be at large" said the man,
who was Horn. He was committed to

BANDITS SHOOT
PALMYRA COpS
Two Wounded, One Fatally, and
Gar RiddIed.
OPENED FIRE At ONCE.
The Whole Town Was Aroused by
Fire Alarm, But Four Robbers
Escaped.

Palmyra, N J. - Policeman Jo-
seph Rogers is in a critical scondi-
ton with bullet through his lung !;
Chief of Police Morris Beck is shot
through the right shoulder and the
police automobile is riddled with bull
lets as a result of clash pf the Of
ficers with four gunner at Morgan
avenue and Broad street, two blocks
from the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton.
The killers" escaped, although
Beck sounded the town fire alarm and
firemen, former service men and citi-
Zens in automobiles, secured the river
front sections of the county.
Chief Beck and Rogers were making
their rounds Of the town in the police
car when they came upon the four
men, acting suspiciously in front Of
the garage of Oscar Rutchman. Beck
stopped his car and asked what they
wanted For answer the quartet OPEN
ed fire upon the police car with auto
mates.
Rogers. was struck by one of the
first shots, the bullet entering his
back, passing through his lung and
entirely through his body into his.
arm. Another bullet through his right
shoulder put the chief out of commits
sion as he was about to return the
fire. Rogers is in the Zurbrugg Hos
pital, Riverside, with small hope of
recovery. He is 81 years old, single
and has beer member of the force
about a year
Beck says the bandits fed imme-
diately after the shooting Whether
they escaped in boats across the ice
on a side street the police have been
unable to ascertain.
Unable to pursue his assailants,
Beck staggered to fire alarm box and
sent in a general alarm. The signal
awoke the town, and firemen and citi-
zens were quickly organized into arm
ed posses and sent in pursuit of the
bandits. Messages were telephoned
to all nearby towns to be on the look
out for suspicious characters and all
roads were guarded The fact that no
strange automobiles were seen leaving
the town mystifies the police and coun-
ty detectives and strengthens the
theory that the assailants may have
been local men.
Chief Beck says he could not recog-
nize any of the quartet in the semi
light from an arc lamp, but that all
appeared to be young men, little more
than boys Beck says his first thought
on seeing the quartet was that they
were trying to break into the Broad
street garage.
Discovery of parts of kits of burg
lars tools on the pavement near the
garage and scattered over lawns on
Morgan avenue, across which the ban
dts fled after shooting the policeman,
convince Sheriff F'lagg and County De-
tective Parker who have taken charge
of the investigation, that the gang
were professionals.
Two dwellings were reported robbed
at Beverly, and the detectives are en-
deavoring to link up these thefts with
the attack on the police here.
