WHEN PRESIDENT WASHINGTON PUT
 DOWN A "REBELLION."

When Theodore Roosevelt, 18th President of the United States, and Grover Cleveland, 22d President used the authority of their office in meeting serious economic disturbances during their terms there were those who questioned the Presidential power ana the historic precedent for such acts. But the power and the precedent had been established by the First President George Washington, who omitted not even this detail from the countless other lasting examples and precedents he set in putting in motion the machinery of our Government.
 The disturbance that moved President Washing ton to his first test of Federal power In putting down serious threat to its stability was the famous "Whiskey Insurrection' which originated during his first Administration.
 That historic uprising as the Division of h. formation and Publication of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission points out was not as it's name implies, moral differ ence on the wet-and-dry issue It had its orign in an economic question and much like the serious strikes which the later Presidents, Ceve- land and Roosevelt, were called on to master. The chief difference in the "Whiskey Insurrection' was that this strike" ran afoul of Federal law, and hence directly invited Federal interference.
 The trouble began in the early 17so's. By then the valleys westward of the Alleganes were pro- ducing grain but not yet had roads or other means of transportation been developed. AS result it was found that the easiest way to ship ths grain was in the form of whiskey, and distilling became the principal industry of the four western counties of Pennsylvania.
 In 179l, the young and still needy Government of the United States, casting about for revenues, passed an excise law that laid something Of a loan on Western Pennsyvana's chief industrial product Quite apart from the moral aspects of the question the Pennsylvania distilers looked upon this cut in their profits unjust discriminating against an industry and under the leadership Of one David Bradford, they promptly organized" and put up resistance to the law.
 This in itself direct defiance of Federal authority and the situation further darkened when Federal officers who attempted to seize the chief offenders were driven away by force Neville, Federal Tax Collector, besieged in his own house In no very long time these first insur- gents" had cowed all other elements about them and were virtual dictators of their end of Penn sylvania.
 The real gravity of this first threat to the stability of the new United States Government lay in the fact that these insurgents not precisely mediums but were men who in these days would racard themselves as 'industrialists"
 In real alarm for the safety of the Union, and to hiring these violators of law to their senses president Washington issued on August ', l7s4 a thunderous Proclamation Warning the Insurgents ar the Western Parts of Pennsylvania to Desist from their Opposition to the Laws He recited at

Smoking Goods Lead
At Northwestern

Evanston, Ill.-Seventy per cent of
the goods who reside in the houses on
the women's quadrangle at North
western University desire to do it
where they live.
This was learned last night after i
count of the names on petitions circu-
lated among residents of thirteen So
rority and two 'open" houses in which
the Woman's Quadrangle Association
had adopted a rule against smoking.
The girls were asked to sign only if
they were smokers. Their petitions
asked that each house be given the
right to decide for itself whether
there should be smoking room.
Miss Jean Van Evera, chairman of
the committee of girls who circulated
the petitions, said the idea was Ito
drive smoking off the streets"
