Il Pocahontas a Legend?

This is the date set for the unveil-
ing of statue Of Pocahontas. the
Indian girl who rescued John Smith.
Her statue has been set up at James,
town, Va, to perpetuate her fame.
The Pocahontas Memorial Association,
which has been in existence for a
dozen years. raised the money in all
parts Of the country. most of 1t in
dollar bills.
1t is not surprising that on such
an occasion as this there should arise
certain historical critics who say
that the story OF Pocahontas' rescuing
John Smith from execution is only a
legend, and that John Smith himself
was considerable Of fakir. No his
age of analytical criticism without
an expose Of this sort. Pocahontas is
no worse of than other famous char
aetefs.
Legend or no legend, it is hard to
kill of the love which a people have
for the stories OF old-time heroes. No
account Of our carly colonial settle
ment more appeals to the rising gem
GRAFTON than the story of Pocahontas.
The statue at jamestown, erected
more than 300 years after the event
which 1t commentaries, represents an
Indian princess in strong and be-
nevolent attitude. Her arms are
thrown back, her hands are opened, as
II to welcome the white race; her face
Is friendly. her costume that Of the
modest maiden. The representa- ton
Is that Of the ideal The unvsiling of
this figure is to be by lineal descend
ants of Pocahontas.
There is a distinct value in thesrep-
resentation of historic characters in
the permanent form of statues that
are idealized. Pocahontas, for in
stance, teaches the virtue of self-sac-
rifice to many who might otherwise
be ignorant Of it. Any child will love,
admire and remember her specific and
personal experience.-Boston Herald.

said that there are sufficient facilities
Of communication between Washing
ton, and the Virginia shore. It WILL
be still necessary to have q third
means of access, and especially one In
a direct line involving no detours for
reaching Arlington. Plainly the ma
ional cemetery in Virginia will be
increasingly the scene Of large assem-
blages. There lie the dead Of all the
wars in which this country has been
engaged. There stand memorials to
men of both north and south. There
rises national temple, an auditorium
where gather thousands upon COM
memorative occasions. Even with the
Highway and Key bridges in Use
there will be no means Of maintaining
ceremonial procession from the city
to the cemetery owing to the presence
of car tracks on those bridges and
the need Of using them for ordinary
traffic.
In the light Of the experience on
Armistice day, which so clearly proved
the need, it is to be hoped that this
subject Of a memorial bridge will be
kept to the front in the minds of
legislators. without regard for the
present Treasury stringency, which
will surely pass and which will, in
any case, not be permitted Indefinitely
to delay the execution of such work.

Old Guard and New Guard.

A press dispatch from Des Moines
says:
Non-committal acceptance at Wash
ington by Senators Cumrnins and Raw
son Of Iowa of the news of the Smith
w. Brookhart landslide for United
States senator aroused Speculat ton in
old guard circles here today as 10 how
Brookhart would fit into the republican
party machinery.
When Mr.. Beveridge won his nomi-
nation some curiosity was expressed
as to how he would fit into the re-
publican party machinery in Indiana.
He himself had no doubt about the
matter. and promptly made oyertures
for united party action at the polls,
which We're accepted when the state
convention met.
When Mr.. Pinchot won his nomina-
ton, inquiry of this character was
heard in Pennsylvania. Would the
so-called old guard support him? He
had run as a republican. been nomi-
mated by a substantial majority as a
republican, and it was now up to the
republicans-old guard and new
erances as the nominee were ad-
dressed to old guard and new guard
alike, and Penroseites and Pinchotites
have a common duty to perform.
And now comes this Iowa result.
There can be no doubt about repub-
lican sentiment in the state respecting
the senatorship. Mr.. B-ookhart has
won the nomination handily. and as
the party's candidate is entitled to the
support Of every republican in the
commonwealth.
If republicans in these states. or
In any state, take their factionism to
the polls in November. it will be with
suicidal intent, and they will achieve
their end.

Tariff Maneuverings.

Say the republicans to the demo-
Gratis in the Senate on the tariff ques-
tion: IF this bill Is as bad as you fell
lows describe and will defeat us at the
polls, why not get out of the way and
let US pass it? We are willing. even
eager, to take the risk. Ours Is the
responsibility, and this is our bill. If
you will permit an early vote on it,
other measures, now halted, can get
through"
Say the democrats in reply: 'If this
bill Is as good as you fellows describe.
why not full discussion Of it? What
difference will it make whether the
final vote Is. called July 1 or October
1? According to your contention. the
voters will approve the measure in
November in any circumstances.
Don't hurry. or try to hurry u.s.
AS a matter Of fact. what is in
progress on Capitol Hill is a conven-
tional, familiar performance. A fill
buster is on. Both parties in their time
have played the game successfully.
The democrats played it in 1890
against the Mckinley bill. which they
held up until within a few weeks of
election day. AS the measure had not
had time to demonstrate its value, it
was condemned on clamor. The demo-
Gratis carried the House that year, and
two years later both the Congress and
the presidency.
The republicans played it in 1894
against the German Wilson bill. which
they held up until within a few
months Of election day and helped to
put into such shape Mr.. Cleveland
would not sign it. The result was the
republicans carried the House that
year, and two years later both the
Congress and the presidency.
The democrats are again at the. bat.
and swinging the willow for all it is
worth.
