Washington History
RY DONALD 4. CRAIG.

October Il, 1790.-The fate Of the
Eastern Branch site. proposed for the
Federal City, hung in the balance to-
day when President Washington left
HagerStown, Md, and set out for VII.
Transport, a few miles away on the
banks of the Potomac River. Will
Transport was the most likely choice
of the President for the Capital City,
if he failed to choose the location at
the head of tidewater. Before he
left Hagerstown he received peti-
ton from the citizens in which they
expressed the wish to have the honor
to be included within your more
especial command and jurisdiction --
within the grand center of virtue
Although it is likely that the Presi-
dent had already made up his mind
in favor of the Georgetown and East
ern Branch site, he gave no indication
of it in his reply to this petition.
When he reached Williamsport, this
day, he was at the northern edge of
the area to which his choice had been
restricted by Congress, and he had
travelled over the entire region speci-
fled in the residence law. The people
of this section of Maryland and across
the river in. Virginia made plans to
raise money to erect Federal buildings.
provided the new city were located
there. They hoped to outbid George
town.
October 81, 1S59.--It was proposed
in a communication to The Star, print.
ed on this date, that every citizen be
given an opportunity to become part
owner of railway line to be built
along Pennsylvania avenue. But this
attempt to build a peoples railway
soon fell through, when the subscrip-
tions for stock were found to be short
of the required amount. 1t was left
to the financial interests of the city TO
carry the railway plan through.

In the Beginning.

1t is most important that we re.

great importance of the first time.
The first step. the first experience in

pared for and carefully followed
through.
The first experience must be pleas.
ant il you wish the child to continue
along the line of action he has started.
If the first bath you give child in a
new tub Is too cold or too hot, or too
something else, he will struggle
against taking another bath in that
tub. Before you get him to enjoy 1t

to do. First times stick.

happy conditions will he welcomed

most important day to a school child.
Even graduation will not equal it in
thrills and stored memories. Make
sure it is happy and successful day.
The first lesson in any subject must
be the kind that the child will like
to think about and will wish to re-
peat. Set the mood right, prepare
the child as well as the lesson. and
then drive ahead with full power and
speed. Give that first lesson such a
momentum that it will he going ahead

Everyday Law Cases
Must Tenant or Landlord Make
Repairs in Absence Of
A0rCementY
RY THE COUNSELLOR.

The three. year lease which Thomas
Hunter. landlord. and Jacob Cole, ten
ant, entered into contained no provi-
sions regarding repairs to the prem
ises.
Six months after Cole entered the
property its plumbing facilities proved
to be in need of repairs, part OF a
ceiling fell down, and the roof leaked.
Cole called upon the landlord to
make the necessary repairs. The lat
ter. however, refused. Cole threat
ened to remove If the repairs were
not made. Cole still refused. There
upon, Cole quit the premises.
Soon Cole had to defend a, suit
brought by the landlord for rent for
the period during the lease that the
property remained vacant. His de-
fense at the trial was that the prem
ises had become untenantable and that
therefore he had a right to move
without remaining liable for the rent.
But Cole found that he was liable
for the rent, the court applying the
following well established rule:
"In the absence of an express agree
ment between the landlord and the
tenant, the former is not bound to
make ordinary repairs to the leased
property, and it is no defense to an
action for the rent that the demised
premises are not in a tenantable con
dition.
"In several States. including Geor
gia, Louisiana, Montana.A North Da
kota and Oklahoma, an obligation Is
imposed upon the landlord by statute
to keep the leased premises in repair.

tonic and an assurance of further
growth. Success adds fuel to the fire
you have kindled. Failure will drown
the keenest ambition in the beginning.
but 1t will do little more than dampen
the atmosphere little when the fire
has been kindled and kept gong for
time. See that a beginner leaves his
first lesson with a happy heart and a
hungry mind. Success will provide
both.
Stand by during the first hard strug.
gle. A new experience taxes a child's
power of endurance far more than you
might think. A new effort has to
plow its own furrow in the mind. A
new group of muscles has to be
trained; new group of nerve cells
1as to be made to function. Energy
foods great area; it overfows the
shallow, new channel until the child
is working with the greater part of
his body just to make one little CO.
ordination of muscle and nerve and
thought. That is very tirihg. Make
the first lesson short. And stand by.
1t Is in the beginning that the child
needs the most encouragement and
supervision. Just as soon as he can
make one motion, do one task on his
own power, tell him he has succeeded
and no longer needs help on that
point and go ahead to the next. SUI
pervise the waverng task and with
draw when the thing Is accomplished.
A child does not grow without help
nor does he grow when he is too
closely watched and guided.
There is a first time for the wrong
habit. Don't forget that. If that
first time is made unpleasant there is
less chance of second time. Pleasure
calls for the repetition. but pain and
discomfort want no encore.

The glorification of the desirable traits
blinds us to- the repulsive phases of
a career in crime.
We sympathiZe with the villain In
the play or the convicted criminal
because we naturally take the part
of the under dog. This is prompted by
the parental instinct which is a pros
tective impulse. The crook seems to
he game loser against overwhelming
odds. A mere individual. he matches
his wit and prowess against the vast
resources of the police force hacked
by the law courts, the army and navy
and the strength of A whole nation.
He gives tremendous odds against
himself. This seems like an uneven
contest which always elicits our sym
pathy.
We sympathize with the criminal
because he has defied convention and
we have all wanted to do that at times
The more devoid one is of reckless
abandon or lacking in opportunities
for exciting experiences the more he
admires the exploits of the bad man.
We sympathize with the bad man
because he appears to possess type
of strength and courage. because he
enlists our parental instinct in his
behalf as an under dog.
