Old Ironsides Now
To Be- Rebuilt

The once sturdy timbers of her
hull-are rotting away and quick
repairs are necessary-if the pride
of our early Navy is to be saved.
Congress at its last session
failed to act on a proposed appro-
priation Of $4O0, 600, estimated
cost of placing ..Old Ironsides"
in sound condition. Another
effort will be made to have Con-
gress set aside that amount at
the coming session, which opens
the first Monday in December.

COULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED
EDUCATION, If 4e WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN OPERA ),

The anti-priyate school bill, In
itiative Measure No. 49, is especially
interesting to Colonel William M.
Inglis in a personal way, according
to a recent statement by him. Colo
mel Inglis is the former commander
Of the lo1st Infantry CFirst Wash
ington Infantry and was one Of
the first officers to be called to Fed
eral duty. He commanded the
regiment in the trenches of France.
On receipt of orders to active duty,
Colonel Inglis found it necessary to
place his boy then twelve years old
and his little girl, nearly six, in pri-
vate schools.
MANY service men were in the
same predicament,' Colonel Inglis
said, "and had private schools been
barred then, as this measure would
do now, it would have worked a
great hardship upon soldiers with
motherless children and those who
were otherwise situated so that it
was necessary for them to place their
children in private schools"
"Colonel Inglis pointed out that
if Initiative Measure No. 49 is pass
ed, it will be illegal for mother
whose husband is dead to place her
children in private school while she
Coulee 5
works for their support, that it would
be illegal for a father to place his
motherless children in private in
stitution instead Of letting them run
the streets and that they would be
liable to Jail sentence if they tried
to have their children thus cared for.
1T would even be impossible for
parents living in rural sections to
give their children the benefits of a
city public school education" Colo
mel Inglis declared. "Under this
measure they would be liable to a
Jail sentence for sending them any
where but to the district school in
the district where the child lives.
Thus farmer-children living in coun-
try districts would absolutely be
denied the right to as good an edu-
cation as city children under this
proposed law"

Seattle, Oct. 23.-Col. Roland HI
Hartley, Republican candidate foa
Governor, has practically finished 4
tour Of eastern and southeastern
Washington and will give most d
his time during the last ten day
to the Northwest and King county
He is so we'll known in those sed
stions, though that he may leave I'd
an occasional speech in some othd
district.
The most significant feature
Col. Hartley's final campaign to,
has been the insistence of the pei
pie upon meeting and shaking han
with him. This always is a seve
tax upon campaigner but it is t
surest indication of his popularity.
his primary campaign Col. Hartl,
seems to have driven home the pri
ciple that business-like, commd
sense administration of public af
fairs is not only the most eficies
and fairest to all the people but also
is the most economical, for this
sentiment is echoed in the greetings
that the voters are extending to Re-
publican orators. The thought that
Col. Hartley has driven home the
strongest and the one that has met
the most generous response has been
his statement that:
Public business must be protected
from political manipulation. Inefici-
ency, waste and extravaganza in
spending public money must end.
The office Of Governor is not poll
tical job; it is the task of a busi-
ness manager"

Zip From Pueblo Indian ho,hsts


The Peublo Indians In New Mexico,
especially the Zuni>, have acquired a
wisdom about training their children
which could we'll be emulated by the
parents Of other races.
II Is an astonishing fact that Indian
children, even babies, seldom cry un.
less they are in physical discomfort or
frightened. They are consistently well
behaved and obedient.
The Indian mother trains her child
from birth. There are certain tribal
ceremonies, based upon u deep relig.
ious concept OF life, which they believe
must be observed In order TO insure
the child strength, health and keenness
OF mind.
The Indian mother says that the
brain and thoughts OF the child are
forming during the first year, and that
il should be kept quiet and not be dis
tracted by being played with or unnne-
ccssarily handled, as such treatment
willscause il to become upset, and affect
Its whole life.
We can teach the Indians much with
regard to the prevention of infant NOR
tality, but in the matter of the emotion
and in character training, we can Learn
much. Always is their child treated
with gentleness, kindness and under
standing sympathy. Obedience is Ia
ken as a matter of course, but 1t is
never enforced by phys violence or
excited speech, and In that lies the Sc
cret of their power. The Indians can
be excited in their sports, In discuss
ing matters of government, in individ-
ual alterations and calamity, but with
their children they are calm; they new
er raise their voice in sharp tones;
they never take hold of a child, shake
or spank it, They talk to IL soothing
ly, kindly and lovingly, until the lit
tie one is calned The doctrine OF
Love- is the one used; punishment
Is rarely needed.
Another wise custom in the training
of an Indian child is to keep it busy
and to make il feel its ultimate impor-
tance in the community. We allow
our children 600 much undirectsd play
which has no connection with the later
issues OF life. An Indian mother be-
gins as soon as the child can walk to
train the little girl to initiate, in the
spirit of privilege and play, the things
the does in her daily household life.
The little boy Is taught by his father,
or grandfather-who has more time
in the Ways OF men, hunting and car
ing for the crops; and, almost before
they can talk, folk-tales and verbal
histories of the tribe are told to them,
to which they pay unAagging attention.
Sincerity, loyalty, consideration for
others and the tribal good, as we'll as
strict observance of ceremonial life.
involving as il does the religion and
philosophy OF the tribe, are all famil-
lar things to a child before it is five
years old. The qualities mentioned
are not enforced, ever; they are the
logical result Of consistent behavior
on the part OF the parents. The child,
being natural imitator, becomes i'm
bued with them to such an extent that
they form an integral part of its char.
acter before it begins TO think for It.

William A. Penny.


William A. Penny died at the resi-
dence of his daughter, Mrs. George C.
Bush, at McConchie, Saturday, July
18th, from cerebral hemorrhage, in his
S5th year.
w. A. Penny was born In the vicini-
ty of Bryantown and spent his boy.
hood and early manhood in that sec
ton OF the county. He later moved to
farm near Pomonkey, where he spent
the most active years of his life, sue
cessfully pursuing the Cvoeation of
farming. In 1911 he removed to his
farm, Pleasant Hills, in the neighbour
hood of Pomfret. After several years
there he retired from active farming
and spent his remaining days at the
home ofhis daughter mentioned above.
In 1875 he married Edmonia Penny, OF
Chicamuxea. To this union twelve
children were born, two of whom died
in infancy. His wife preceded him in
death April 10, 1917. Three daughters
and seven sons survive him.
His funeral took place on Monday,
July 18th. Solemn Requiem Mass was
said by Rev. Father f. II. Kreis, s..
j.. in st. GATHERINGS Chapel, at Me-
Conchie. From there the funeral cor
tege moved to St. Charles Church, at
Glymont, and while the rights of the
grave were being performed by Father
kreis and Father O'Hara, the body
was laid to rest beside that OF his wife
and companion In life, under a large
oak at spot which he chose many
years ago as his last resting place. a
large number of relatives and friends
attended his funeral to pay their last
respect TO one they had loved and hon
ored in life. His seven sons and two
sons-in-law were his pallbearers.
In compliance with a request made
by the deceased, Mr.. C. w. Roby, OF
Bel Alton, served as funeral director.
W. A. Penny's long life was marked
by energy and industry. He was never
idle; useful work was one Of his ideals
and he served this by constant endea-
vor to the last. His death takes from
us one of the oldest citizens of the
county and one of the last of those
who knew what it was to live in the
stirring days of sixty-five years ago.
BY his son-in-law,
GEORGE c. BUSH.
