pared and executive rules and maXims
We must limit and narrow the area OF
patronage; we must diminish the evils
of Office seeking; we must stop inter
ference of Federal officers with cleo
tions; we must be relieved of Con.
gressional dictation as to appoint
ments." In 1881 George William Cur
tis said: I'VE think that Mr.. Hayes
has done more for a reform of the civi
service upon sound principles than any
other President in our history.
The great service of President Hayes
to reform is to have shown that it is
perfectly practicable"
Having urged in his message to the
Forty fifth Congress that specie pay
ments be compassed as speedily as
possible. and Secretary Of the Treas
ury Sherman having declared that
"the way to resume is to resume" the
act for the resumption Of specie pay
ments went into effect January l.
1879.
Some of his ablest political oppo-
nents conceded that President Hayes's
Administration. taken as a whole, had
been no less honorable TO himself than
creditable to the country. All attempts
to induce him to accept Il renomina-
tion failed. At the close of his term
of Office he retired to his home at FREE
mont, Ohio, where he died January IT,
1893.
While in the White House President
Hayes rose at and wrote until break
fast time, $3.50. Breakfast was fol-
lowed by divine worship. A chapter OF
the Bible was read. each person pres
ent reading a verse In turn. after
which all knelt and recited In unison

went to his office From 10 to IL he
received callers. The o'clock lunch
con consisted OF bread and butter, cold
meats and tea Usually the President
invited a visitor with whom he desired
to confer
After luncheon he examined his cor
respondence. He seldom dictated to a
stenographer. At $3.50 he went for a
drive, accompanied by some member
of the household or q friend. Return
ing at 5. he gave some minutes TO his
correspondence took a brief nap, and
dressed for dinner. Until II O'Clock
or later the time was given 70 callers
who came by appointment. Before
going to bed he took a short walk, call
ing upon some friend. No tobacco or
other stimulant, excepting tea and
coffee, passed his lips. Ills means
were liberal. two bachelor unc'ss hav-
ing left him in all 1850, 900, and though
his habits we're simple his hospitality
during his Administration was bound
less.
At the state dinner given to the
Russian Grand Dukes Alexis and Con-
stantin wine was served for the first
and last time at the White House in
the Hayes Administration. The edict
which banished wine and all other al
coholic beverages from tho Chief Ex-

Nova Scoia's New Craft
Too Big for Gloucester

For the second years racing--last
year that is-the Nova Scotians built
, two new, big vessels. too big to be
matched by anything Gloucester had
Gloucester made no more preparation
for the race than she had the year
before. AS the time drew near for the
second race the committee began to
look around at the last hour. There
were several willing to do their best
for the reputation of Gloucester-the
Arthur James, fresh In from a seining
trip; the Ralph Brown, an auxiliary
but willing TO seal up her engine and
try 1t; the Elsie, fresh home like the
Esperanto from season of salt fish
ing on the Grand Banks. A couple OF
smaller ones, fresh in from the sea,
not SO well thought of but with sport
ing captains and crews, also stood
ready to give battle.
A trial race was decided upon. so
they hove the seine boat from the
James up on to the dock, took off the
| Browns propellers, leaving her two
big wooden shaft boxes sticking out
under her quarter. hoisted the salt
fish out of the Elsie and in such rough

The Elsie won the trial race, and
then in the same rough and ready
fashion Of the Esperanto she sailed to
Halifax to battle the Bluenose. (Her
crew were also all volunteers and
serving without hope OF pay) But the
Elsie had a tough job ahead of her.
The Delawanna and the Esperanto
were Of size-the Delawanna a bit
wider the Esperanto a bit deeper and
both of the one length, but the Elsie
was taking on n vessel that was 10
feet or SO longer over all, wider and
deeper proportionately, and there is
no such thing as time allowance I'm
fishermen's races.
The Elsie was beaten. She made a
great showing for her tonnage, hold
ing her own for half the first race
and leading for two-thirds of the
course In the second race. But she
couldn't win. She just did not have
the length and depth to grip the water
with the big fellow when 1t came to
going to windward.
The Bluenose, big, handsome, able
vessel, which was also we'll ha.rdIed,
won two straight races.

IN Wednesday October 4. will be
celebrated the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of
Rutherford b. Hayes. At Spiegel
rove, Fremont, Ohio spectacular
ilitary and civic demonstration will
onor the memory of one of the Buck
eye States most distinguished sons.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes, nine
teenth President of the United States,
some of whose ancestors fought under
the leadership of William Wallace and
Robert Bruce in Scotland, was born
at Delaware, Ohio, October 4, 1922.
His father died before the sons birth
day. leaving the bereaved mother in
humble circumstances. When a mere
infant he suffered so severe an attack
of illness that for some time the
women Of the neighborhood made the
daily inquiry, Did Mrs. Hayes's baby
die last night?"
AS a small boy he was a model
pupil. In his fourteenth year he>went
to the seminary at Norwalk, Ohio,
WHere ne Is Sdlu 10 HdNe 5luuleQ uU-
der the guidance of the Rev. Mr..
Chapman. In due time he entered
Kenyon College, at Gambler, Ohio.
finishing tho course as valedictorian
of his class. At that period of his
life he was a capital shot with the
rifle and enjoyed hunting. fishing,
swimming and skating. Once while
at Gambler he walked the forty miles
to his home at Delaware in twelve
hours, and after Christmas walked
back to Gambler In four inches of
snow. His favorite studies were
mathematics, logic and mental and
moral philosophy
After preparing himself for the
legal profession at the law school OF
Harvard University, which he left in
1S45, he began practice at Fremont, in
his native State. In 1850 he moved
to Cincinnati.
In 1852 Hayes married Miss Lucy
Ware Webb of Chillicothe, Ohio, whose
grandfather was Lieut. Cook of the
Revolutionary army. In 1859 the
future President was. elected City
Solicitor of Cincinnati, his first office.
In early life an anti-slavery Whig, ne

Wounded -Four Times and
Promoted for Bravery

When the civil war broke out
Hayes responded to the first call for
troops, receiving a commission as
Major of the Twenty third Ohio In
fantry June Z, 1851 Among the many
battles in which he participated were
those of South Mountain, Winchester
Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek At
South Mountain a missile broke one
Of his arms, but after a short delay
he again rushed into the battle with
the wound half dressed, fighting until
weakness made 1t necessary to carry
him from the field. Three injuries
followed the one received at South
Mountain. Four horses were shot I'M
der him. For bravery at Fishers Hill
he became a Major General by brevet.
In 1854 he was elected TO Congress
from Cincinnati.
Cen. Hayes took his scat in Con-
gress December 4, 1885. He made few

promote by the influence of the legiti-
mate agencies of the general Govern
ment the efforts of the people of the
South to obtain for themselves the
blessing of honest and capable local
government"
To oppose the ticket headed by
Hayes and Wheeler the Democratic
national convention nominated Gov.
Samuel j. Tilden of New York and
Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana.
The contest was close and was fol-
lowed by great excitement and sus-
pense, the issue being in doubt. On
the one side the suffrage had been
tainted by stupendous fraud; on the
other It had been perverted by shame
full violence Which was the greater
wrong" said the late George T. Ed
munds, for many years United States
Senator from Vermont, mo one could
tell" In letter to Senator John
Sherman Gen. Hayes wrote: Let Mr..
Tllden have the place by violence,
intimidation and fraud rather than
undertake to prevent It by means that
will not bear the strictest scrutiny"
Serious trouble was anticipated until
1t was arranged by an act OF Congress
that all disputed certificates should be
referred to a commission consisting OF
five Senators, FIVE Representatives
and FIVE Judges OF the Supreme Court
of the United States. The certificates
respecting which there was no dispute
and those approved by the commits
sion having been opened It was found
that Hayes and Wheeler had received
1856 electoral votes TO 1874 for their OPP
potents; and they we're accordingly,
on March 2. 1877, declared elected. The
inauguration ceremonies were hold on
March 5.
Gen. Hayes became President abso-
lutely free of obligations But the
peculiar circumstances under which
he WAS declared Chief Executive made
his position unusually difficult. Among
the first questions he was called upon
to deal with we're the political troubles
In Louisiana. In relation to these he
pursued conciliatory policy toward
the South. withdrawing the Federal
troops which had up to that time pre-
vented the overthrow OF the Republ-
can Government. and thus allowing
the Democratic incumbent TO assume
undsputed control. A similar con-
troversy In South Carolina was settled
in like manner This course did much
to allay the prevalent excitement,
though II brought out unfavorable
criticism by members of the Republi-
can party.

Willing to Race
Even If Unready

Don't imagine that the Gloucester
men do not understand all the fine
points Of getting a vessel in shape for
a race. Nobody knows that game
better, but they also think it ridiculous
to RAGE vessel in any but a seagoing
condition. IL they are challenged to
race when not ready why, that IL
hard luck. but no reason for refusing
to race. And II the other boat is a
bit bigger, why, that's part of it, too.
The Esperanto when she raced Off
Halifax two years ago, had a main
sail four years old a foresail that bell
lied scandalously. and a jib that was
too small. Also her staysail could
have been a lot bigger and no harm
done. The Elsie when she raced a
year ago also had sails that didn't fit;
and both vessels carried the same
spars. the same ballast in their holds
that they would wish to have TO meet
a hard gale on the Grand Banks
Last year when the Elsie went TO
Halifax her crew, after a look at the
Bluenose, noticed that she had no rat
lines to her shrouds. (Ratlnes are
the foot ropes by which en- go aloft)

Most Statutes Not
For General Benefit

This flood OF legislation is proof that
legislatures lawmake not wisely but
toe we'll Anybody who has been in
side the lair of a Legislature or Con-
gress knows that not tenth of the
laws passed relate to general public
concerns and that the greater part

tion Mr.. Luce. ii great experience in

considerable part of every State

could be much better settled by an adj

Places in Parliament
Won by Fighting Ability

Congress through it's seniority sys-
tenn deliberately destroys the usual
motives Of competition and personal
victory That is where the English
Parliament has the weather gauge of
the American Congress. The leaders
there, who get the places in the Cabi-
net which roughly correspond to our
committee chairmanships, have to fight
their way to it. They must show su-
perior ability in debate. They must
prove that they are familiar with the
needs of the public service. They
must be skilled in the rough and
tumble on the floor.
They must come into immediate per-
sonal touch with the Prime Minister,
who corresponds at the same time with
one former Speaker of the House and
the President. Mn our Senate with its
long terms and n ore open debate, men
do get regulations as debaters and as
statesmen. In the House, newcomers
have a long and dreary struggle to get
into a good committee where they can
really exert personal influence.
The Premier in Parliament has an
other great advantage. He Is the
initiator of the source of legislation on
broad public questions for Parliament.
fIe has practically only the House of
Commons to deal with. and there is
backed up by the members of his party
who are kept in allegiance by relations
with the other members of the Cabi-
net. No bill can be put over on him
or he would resign and all the members
Of the Cabinet would go with him.
