MEXICAN WAR.
VETERAN IS
H0N0RED
Friends Help Old Freishter.
Celebrate Anniversary
at Bandera.

Hard fought battles of the Mexican
war; the gruelling march with Gen
eral Winfield Scott to the walls OF
Chapultepec; stirring scenes in Texas
history when her pioneers struggled
for existence, the red men a constant
menace; the fight against hunger and
thirst
All these were re-lived as Amasa
Clark, centenarian, met his old-time
friends, many near his own age, and
his children and children's children to-
day.
At his little home nesting among
the Bandera hills, he celebrated his
one hundredth anniversary and re-
counted to his many listeners the no
nance Of Bandera."
FRIENDS GATHER.
Friends from half dozen counties,
most of them pioneers, members of the
Pioneer Freighters' Association who
went up the trail' with him, sons.
daughters and their children, gathered
at the Clark home where so many So
cial functions have been held, to help
celebrate the memorable occasion.
Although it's Amasa Clark, centen-
arian. it also is Amasa Clark vigor-
Gus. hale and hearty. Light Of step,
keen of eye and smiling of counte-
nance. For his 100 years sit lightly
on bis shoulders.
His face is wrinkled, age has left
it's mark. and the blistering suns. OF
Texas have done their work, but
neither age nor weather has obliterat-
ed the dauntless look, the ready smile
which has been his through the
century.
BRING GIFTS.
To the aged man each child brought
an offering. Those who live on ranches
brought as their gifts products of the
soil or of the ranges, those who live
in the city, the things of the city.
The celebration was an all-day al
fair, From early morning until dusk
friends and relatives formed a con-
slant stream into and out of the Clark
home. At noon was a barbecue, q
real old-time Texas barbecue.

and "reminiscences of the pioneer days
brought the celebration to a close.
1t was in New York state that Mr..
Clark was born, but in Texas that
he lived and made history. Joining
the army in 1916, he served through
the Mexican war, having been dis
charged at FL Paso.
He then came to San Antonio and
in the early SOS drifted to the Ban
dera hills where he has made his home
since. For years he freighted lum-
Der from those hills to San Antonio
and many were the hardships he en-
dured. Nineteen children were born
to him and in turn bore children until
now his descendants are many. All
were present to join in the celebra-

ed by William B. Krempkau, secre-

100 CANDLES ON CAKE.
Speeches were made and Mr.. Clark
was presented a huge cake. bearing
100 candles, 1t was the gift of the
freighters and was designed by Mr..
Krempkau. In the center was star,
and the freighter's emblem. Under
meath were the words "Amasa Clark,
Mexican war veteran" and the dates
"1S25-1925."
The freighters also gave Mr.. Clark
a badge, symbol OF his membership in
the association.

The Presidents Vacation
Is Such Only In Name

Washington, May 2O--President
Coolidge finds that one of his greatest
difficulties at present is to say mo
to many social and business requests
without offending the feelings OF
well meaning citizens. His close as
sociates in official life say that he
cannot take a vacation in the gen
orally accepted sense for he must
combine the affairs of state with
whatever recreation he can obtain
during the summer months. The
fact that Mr.. Coolidge is leaving for
the summer colony in Massachusetts
has been taken to mean that his va
cation begins at that time. The con
trary is true.
A White House official told the
writer that thousands of invitations
for addresses and social visits have
been received with the coming of
the summer months, all based upon
the assumption that the President
would then have time for such things.
Officials say that despite the alb
ence of Congress, there has been no
slump in the amount of business at
the Executive Mansion. His advisers
have urged the President to call a
halt to the present tendency of in
creasing rather than diminishing his
official duties.
Address Involves Work
Those asking the President to
speak at various functions do not
realize the amount of work involved
in the preparation of addresses of
this character. U~tterances, espec-
tally when made officially, become
matters of history as they are recog-
nized as state papers. Naturally, it
is incumbent upon the President to
exercise judgment and tact in pub
lie addresses. Besides, any manu-
script of any merit takes consider
able time in preparation.
Meanwhile, the President must
carry out his regular duties as head
of the Nation, which calls for con-
%ferences all during the business day
and frequently study of problems at
night. This program also will be
followed at the summer White House,
for, under the Constitution, the
country cannot be without an execu-
tive even for a moment. The fact
that the President must decline in
.vitations may incur the displeasure
many but that is one of the draw
backs of the office.
The Strategy of peace"
The most interesting place in
Washington today is a small room
the Treasury Department where
5he Commandant of the Coast Guard
maintains headquarters. 1t is here S
hat the Government forces main
ain their board of strategy along
ines similar to those used by the /
Navy Department during times of
lctual warfare. The reason for
his intense activity is the Eigh- c
zenith Amendment and the Volstead
Act. Adopting many of the plans
lsed with success during the late e
var, the Treasury Department is S
nobilizing its dry forces with a c

Our Washington Letter


view to blockading American port:
against rum runners. Estimates
have been made by responsible gov
eminent officials that hundreds OF
millions of dollars will be needed
during the next few years to main
tain the blockade along the Atlantic
Coast. The Pacific Coast is not so
well guarded for the reason that
the sources of supply are located on
the Atlantic Coast. The Treasury
Department realizes that it has a
gigantic task at hand and has set
tied down to a serious enforcement
of the law.
Resignation Rumors
Just at a time when everything
is quiet in political circles. the rumor
persists that Secretary of War Weeks
will resign. Those who know him
we'll say that his health has been
seriously impaired by his recent i'll
ness and that it would be physically
impossible for him to continue his
official work. Others say that the
present Secretary or some of his
minor executives have bungled the
proposition of national mobilization
in connection with the Armistice. 1t
is the current report that plans were
made by the War Department to this
end without consulting the Presi-
dent, who. after all is the Command
er-1nChief of the army. Hence, the
resignation rumor. Meanwhile, pol
iticians are trotting out several To-
cal candidates for the portfolio.
The professional farmers located
in Washington have found time ex-
ceedingly dull. They now come for
ward with a proposal for freight rate
reductions or farm products. The
Interstate Commerce Commission
has a rate investigation under way
which was recently authorized by
Congress. The opinion prevails in
Washington that agriculture can
work out its own salvation without
legislative panacreas. So the latest
announcement of the farmers legis-
lative agents has not created even a
ripple of interest politically.
Trade Commission Trouble
Mr.. Coolidge has an unpleasant
controversy on his hand with open
warfare at the Federal Trade Com
mission. Commissioners John F.
cont apd uIc+op Tbo~o-.ou L..
oined hands in dissenting with the
in the policy of the Com
mission as inaugurated by the ma
GRITTY a few weeks ago. 1t appears
that the President may be
to clean house in order to
insure proper functioning of the ]
commission. He is proceeding rath- s
r slowly in this matter as he has {
o intention of allowing Commission
r Thompson to make himself a
martyr with radical groups of the 7
ountry. Thompson has been the J
forming petrol of this Federal
gency for a number of years. {
Inasmuch as tax reduction is i'm
popular, there is a mad rush q
'r political credit in bringing about n
cuts. One of the Republi- s
an congressional authorities on taxes Z
advocated a reduction of at least n
10000, 600 with the possibilities of h
ltending this to $780, 0O, 900 OF -

attic tax experts plan to go one ;,

If, in the past, the constant wink
ing at traffic ordinances and viola.
tions has caused both our own resi-
dents and visitors from other cities
to regard us with contempt, which
frequently resulted in disaster, GER
tain it is that from now on the rules
will be rigidly enforced and respected.
Among the most flagrant violations
have been the turning around of vehi-
cles in the streets endangering 9th
ers who might be passing, disregard
ing the crossing and turning signals:
passing on the wrong side of a car
from the rear; driving with one head
light or no head light or without tail
light; and disregarding the use of
the DINNER.
Another violation is the double
parking-that is, parking behind an
other vehille which cannot be moved
until the last to arrive has moved.
If one is not thoroughly conversant
with the traffic laws of the state
and city it would be a good plan to
study them up and avoid difficulties
and embarrassment
Marshal Beatty and Mayor Vanock-
er have been very vigilant upon the
streets the past few days and have
hailed a number of violators into the
police court. OF course some make a
big howl, but the easiest way out,
as some have found. is to pay the
fine and adhere strictly to the law
hereafter.
