The Daughters.

We do have important elections in
Washington, Notwithstanding certain
disabilities under which the people of
the District live. The next election,
which may be classed as important,
Is that Of the D. A. r. The thirty
second congress Of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution will convene
on Monday and on Thursday. accord
ing to the schedule. the election of
national officers Of the society will be
held. AS Is usual in the congress
and national elections OF the Daugh-
ters, there will be some politics and
1t is known that among the Daughters
the brand Of politics is never dry and
dull. but that. on the contrary, is ami
mated and sparkling. Already the
Daughters are arriving in Washington
from every section Of the United
States and many parts of the world
outside Of the United States, and those
who live in Washington-for we have
the good fortune to number many
Daughters among our people-are
busy. busy, busy. There are strong
ties between this patriotic society and
the city of Washington. This is the
birthplace Of the society. 1t was Or
gan!zed here in October. 1890, and
this city is ite official home. Of
flcially. 1t keeps house here in one
Of the beautiful buildings of the cap
ital, and that means, Of course, in
one Of the beautiful buildings of the
world. In what a wonderful way the
society has grown is known to every
body. The good that it has done in
patriotic ways is also known to nearly
everybody. Washington is very glad
that the Daughters and their congress
are to be with us again. We are sorry
that spring is not more manifest in
flowers and foliage, but the people of
Washington cannot help this. They
suspect that there Is a conspiracy
between Miss April and the coal deal
ers, but probably before the congress
meets on Monday. and certainly be-
fore it adjourns, all the spring flowers
will be smiling for the Daughters.

CAPITAL KEYNOTES
BY PAUL y. COLLINS

Tho mail of newspaper writer
often contains comments, spicy and
informative. There comes to Capital
keynotes a. protest at the chronology
assigned to the period when twelve
and fifteen hours constituted u normal
days work for a wage Garner.
Almost within the memory Of men
now living" Capital Keynotes re-
corded. and a correspondent reacted
with a breeze:
Say, old man''-how did he guess
age like that?-'ff you will come
around some day will introduce you
to man, by no means very old. who
has distinct recollection when he
was employed as a mule tender and
| driver on the Erie canal, and who
considered that day in which he
was not obliged to pass sixteen very
active hours in the performance Of
| his duties WAS "A light one, indeed
Following that. as devil in a coun-
try printing office, his duties required
constant attention for at least twelve.
and frequently fourteen, hours daily,
without diminishing tho vigor and
enthusiasm In the pursuit of knowI-
edge of the art prcscryativc.'"
Tho correspondent enumorates his
later occupations. including fifteen
hours a day as laborer on a California
ranch. and, later. fifteen miles
horseback ride, morning and evening.
TO set type on Il daily; and, finally,
every working hour" as proprietor
and editor.
Really" adds the correspondent,
the short hours now enjoyed by
practically all toilers seem to me
something Of a picnic when com
pared with what l went through-aud
] am not very old, either it seems
to me that one OF the difficulties Of
the present generation is that they
are not required to apply themselves
SO constantly to their chosen occu-
pations as was formerly the case

Capital keynotes appeals to other
readers to bear out the claim that
mule drivers, editors, etc, should not
be included in the consideration of
any such a subject as earning wages
Be reasonable. Recreation is one
thing; work another.
Pat, the oldtime hod carrier. had
the right idea when he explained
that he merely carried the bricks I'D
the ladder and the men up there did
all the work.
No journalist, nor even any news
paper man, works for wages. but for
the joy Of il. Hence. his only com
plant is that the devil does not con-
troll the clock better by advancing

quite sure about the mule drivers.
