Seeking Rest After
Winter Work

James Philip Bower. the IA
nous Dartmouth baseball, hockey
and basket ball star, Familiarity
known all over New England, as
"Brainy" Bower, arrived in New
port recently, and has joined a
fishing party at Seymour Lake,
where, after they have caught all
of the largest salmon, they will
break camp, and go to Echo Pond
and Averill Lake.
Judging from the supply train
of provisions, boats, etc, sent on
ahead, one might think it was a
large party. However, Harry H.
Knapp, James A. Clark, Rupert
Martin, Dr.. H. O. Daley of White
River Junction, "Brainy" and
George Hackett who will cook for
them are the only ones.
They will not lack companion
ship for many of their friends
and acquaintance that nave heard
the call will also camp near them
at these famous lakes from whose
waters ID ton of salmon was taken
the first day of the open season in
1921.
"Brainy" spent Friday in New
port visiting his many friends,
who were delighted to see him
again.
Mr.. Bower will make teaching
his profession for at least two or
three years; although the contract
is not yet signed, ne will undoubt-
edly teach chemistry and physics

at home than with Il horse. In
1899 at II years Of age he was
appointed & cadet al West Point.
Upon his graduation on June 30,
1843 he was entered on the army
rolls as brevet second lieutenant,
and assigned to fourth infantry on
the Missouri frontier. He served
in the Mexican war, and after
wards returned to work with his
father, who was a tanner.
When the Civil War began he
was made captain of volunteers
and rose through successive
stages by his bravery, sterling
qualities, and wonderful ability,
until the war was ended by him,
to the h'~heSt position in the
army. Twice he was elected Pres
ident of the United States, and
after retiring spent many of his
later years in travelling around the
world. What he did for his coun-
try all the world knows. Upon
this anniversary let Us again re-
call the manner OF man he was.
Old residents of Galina, where
he was in the leather business
with his father and brothers after
the Mexican war, say he made but
little impression upon the town.
He was quiet, unobt,usive, serious.
Mrs. Grant was educated above
the average woman of the time, a
good mother and genuine house
wife. There was nothing at this
time in Grants life to apparently
foreshadow future prominence.
We can not take time to trace
all the times or fill all the de
tails of that marvellous career.
The picture is completed one
and our coUntrymen are familiar
with it. The present purpose is
to point out the qualities which,
when the opportunity came, led
that career to move out of obscur-
ity, TO increase steadily in volume
and in power, and to push through
the gravest obstacles and the Sc
verest criticism to the very pinnacle
of the world fame with such
apparent ease and such clock
= = n" turalness as to surprise
mankind.
mere is no need to idealize the
character Of General Grant, in
its humanity and its reality it APP
peals to the world. His name and
his fame became great because
OF the things he did But what
he did Wa not by chance.
1t came of qualities which were
Inherent in his character. Those
Qualities We're sharpencd by train

peculiarly his own, and they were

This required a wealth ct moral
courage but the results justified
the acts.
In 9 tour around the world, fol-
/ lowing his presidency, the General
received every marx of respect
and honor that the people and the
! governments OF other nations
could show him, and reached
home, by way OF the Pacific amid
the universal acclaim Of his coun-
trymen.
His last years were encompass
ed by bitter suffering and sor-
row. A polished scoundrel
brought financial ruin and debt
and intense humilistion upon his
! honored partner. Disease had set
its seal upon him and only the
exercise CT an iron viii enabled
him to finally accomplish the task
of writing a history OF his life,
that the proceeds might provide
his family the means of living. II e
never murnured, his calmness and
steadiness were as sure as ever;
his heart grew yet WarmeI TO his
people, his mind yet clearer upon
the enduring interests of ms coun-
try.
As he worked, the last act of
the 18th Congress created for him
anew the grade Of General IN the
army, which he had vacated upon
his accession to the presidency,
and the final act OF President Ar
thurs administration placed him
in it. In all this, partisansiip re-
coded and was stilled. With enc
accord the people of all sections
and all opinions demanded it. His
life was prolonged until his task
was finished. He closed the book
with the words, "Man proposes,
but God disposes."

ATLANTA, Oct. 25.-Congress-
man Carl Vinson of the Tenth Geor-
gia congressional district, in discuss
ing the national political situation
when he stopped in Atlanta few
hours en- route to his home in Mil

ment:
Republicans see the hadwriting
on the wall and their attitude seems
to be that of complete resignation TO
the fate that seems to have already
been decreed by the people"
In predicting that the sixty-eighth
congress will be under Democratic
control, he said: "The outlook for
Democratic success on November 7
is Of the most gratifying character.
The country is awake to what has
been done to it by the Republican
regime in congress and will punish it
with an unmerciful hand. Through
out the Northern states the Dem
ocrats have selected representative
men for their nominees and the gains
win be. sufficient to restore the ma
tional house of representatives to
the party of the people"
