FOSDICK AND WASHING
TON
BY George B. Lockwood

Speaking in Chicago under the aus
pices of the League of Nations Asso-
citation, Raymond Fosdick, the well
known advocate of internationalism,
declared that he was urging American
entry into the League Court not as
the matter of first Importance, but as
the first step toward the entrance of
the United States into the League
of Nations. Mr.. Fosdick is to be COM
plimented on his frankness-not all
advocates of American entry into the
League Court are as open in their
declaration of ultimate purpose.
The Farewell Address of George
Washington, Mr.. Fosdick declares, "is
as obsolete as the stage COACH" The
people who quote from Washington's
message of admonition to his country
men, he said, "stand with one foot in
the Eighteenth century and the other
in the Twentieth"
The fallacy of this argument lies in
the assumption that progress in poll

his only heir at law his child, Sara
Vanhart, my client, an infant of ten
der years. His wife preceded him in
death about ten years, when my client
was placed in the custody of her aunt,
Margaret Pope, as her guardian.
Although Sara is only about eleven
years of age, this Colony has been
stirred to it's depths by the fact that
one Richard Burnett, Scotchman,
resident herein, who, it may be reas-
onably inferred from the evidence and
the circumstances surrounding this
case, was promised a marriage fee,
conspired and confederated with one
Stephen Coleman, a tailor, the senior
by many years of my client, to make
her the bride of Coleman, without the
consent of her guardian and against
the advice and influence of friends.
"This unholy alliance would I'M
doubtedly have been sonsummated had
not information been sent to me at
my estate, Thumb Grant, on the
river Chester, and my aid implored.
l make this personal reference be-
cause the evidence shows that myself
and friends, without fee or hope of
reward, became deeply interested in
preventing this child from falling in
to the hands of this fortune hunter,
Stephen Coleman. We volunteered
our services in her behalf and now
appear before your Honors, who have
jurisdiction over the person and the
property of your ward, asking that
you forbid this unrighteous marri-
age"
But apparently three of the five
Judges were parties to the conspira-
cy and consequently were unmoved
by this plea, for we read in Andrews
History of Maryland that Sara was
placed in the custody of Thomas
Hawker's wife, who lived on Bohemia
River, a convenient place for Cole
man to take her over into the adjoin-
ing province of Pennsylvania.
After the Judges had rendered
their decision there occurred a dra-
matte scene. The court room was in
tumult. The girl and the aunt were
locked in each others arms, shedding
tears of real grief at the thought of
parting. Justice Stevens, laying
aside and apparently forgetting his
judicial dignity, was pulling the girl
one way and the aunt the other. FL
nally Sara, showing the true spirit
of the times, succeeded in jerking
away from the Justice and taking adj
vantage of the opportunity, her
friends rushed her to her aunt's boat,
anchored at a convenient place, no
doubt with this thought in mind, in
which she made her escape to a haven
of refuge.
And thus the villains were foiled.

In reading th1 b,gh the last weeks

While complying with his wishes
for further communications I wish to
state that do not favor bond bill

of the country are not such as to per-
nit this expenditure of money, es-
pecially when the capital is furnished
by the taxpayers of a county, which
in my estimation, is not able to COM

THE POLITICAL WHEELS OF
WASHINGTON

Washington, Feb. 4-Mr. Raskob's
disclaimer that he owns the Demo-
cratic party is being followed by an
attempt to collect enough money from
Democrtic supporters to pay the Ras-
kob mortgage of approximately $780,
600.
Political sages being of the opinion
that the Raskob ownership may work
against the party's chances in 1892, a
survey is being made by New York
concern to determine the feasibility of
a drive at this time to pay off the
party debt.
The Democratic party is indebted
personally to Mr.. Raskob to the tune
Of 100000, and another 100000 is
owed to the County Trust Company of
New York, with which Mr.. Raskob and
Governor Alfred E. Smith are closely
associated.
There are many in Washington and
elsewhere who doubt that the pro-
posed drive to redeem the Democratic
party will be launched and there are
others who are very dubious regarding
the success of such drive should one
be undertaken.
The firm which has undertaken the
preliminary work-the study of posi-
bilities-is experienced in this type OF
endeavor and if the campaign is actu-
ally begun it will mean that the
chances of success are considered to be
good by this organization.
In the meantime the affair is being
conducted without publicity. If 1t
should be determined that because Of
business conditions or for other reas-
ons the scheme is not feasible, all ne
gotiations will be dropped and no
more will be said about ransoming the
Democratic party.
That is, no more will be said by
Messrs.. Raskob, Shouse ct al. Mr..
Raskob will continue to pay the party
bills including the salaries Of the
Washington propaganda mill and Mr..
Shouse will continue to accuse the
President of causing bad weather and
sundry other ills, but neither of these
gentlemen will pirate Of party owner
ship.
Others, however, may not be so cas-
lily stilled. Leading Democrats out
side of New York City may continue
to protest against what they term Mr..
Raskob's ownership Of tie Democrat
ic party. These protests may continue
even up to and into the Democratic
National convention of 1882.
Several leaders of the party have
vehemently declared that the more
than one-half million dollar debt of the
party should be repaid at once. There
are others, however, who are not SO
solititous about Mr.. Raskob's invest
ments. Even the conservative esti-
majors realize that much money will
be needed in 1882 and among these
many are putting the pertinent ques-
ton, "Who, if not Raskob?"
There is still another minority
group which feels that Mr.. Raskob
has had his moneys worth out of die
tating party policies for two years and
that if any money is owing it is to
the party treasury and not to Mr..
Raskob. AS one member Of this fac
ton puts it, Gust think Of all the fun
he has had.' 1~ ~

Some of them are foreign to the real

for some reason the personal feelings
