WRIT G. BOWMAN
(By Charles w. Meighan)

We still have lump in our
throat over the way the Arizona
Democracy came through at the
Democratic state convention last
Monday with vindication of
one Of our foremost citizens who
has been out in front fighting, in
good times and bad, for you and
me and all OF US. 1t is difficult
for Us to speak Of Mrs. Isabella
q. Greenway and the tribute paid
her at the same time or of the
splendid impression she made.
No one dared to assail her. but
those who would have if they
dared, did attack Writ Bowman
in the dirtiest way possible, and
we we're delighted to have q
hand 10 placing him in position
where we know be will come
through, as be always has in
every job be has undertaken.
Democrats, let's forget party
rancor now. Let's get together
this year and march on to vic.
tory. Back your party leaders,
forget selfish interests, let BY
cones be byeones and put our
shoulders to the wheel to bring
Arizona back to the glory that
was hers when she talked Demo-
cratic, thought Democratic, voted
Democratic and was Democratic.
Down with the false, paid
leadership that has led US astray
into bondage. Up with the
Democratic hag-the flag Of the
people-aud on to victory next
November, a victory of the peo.
pie. with Roosevelt as our
standard-bearer and Writ Bow
man, man, as our right guide.
Let Us not impute to our new
national committeeman qualities
that he does not possess but his
long record in Arizona, his faith
in this state and in the Demo.
cratic party, his loyalty to his
family, bis fealty to his friends
aud the sheer manhood Of him,
with bis integrity, all entitled
him to a better break than
Charlie Addams gave him in his
undercover efforts to blackeu
the name and character of Writ
G. Bowman and, so help me
Jesus, I stood with my back
against the wall at the end Of
that long. hot. hard old day last
Monday and let tear or two
roll down my cheeks-six feet
two though I may be-as I saw
Writ. vindicated on the platform
alongside that adorable little
girl" who admitted she was
forty. six years old" and by her
wit, charm, and grace left every
one ashamed of himself that ha
had not been q little cleaner and
more fit to listen to her words.
Arizona and Arizona democracy
came into its own at that moment
and the baby state" starts from
here, with Isabella G. Greenway
and Writ G Bowman to lead Us.

him to come to see her. AS expedi-
tons always need financing, the ex.

really was going considerable dis

be was. She then wanted to know
whether, if she made substantial

LITTLE LORD FAUNTLERoY

VIVIAN BURNETT in all probaS

detested long curls and wide brimmed

Of the numerous seven-year olds who
did wear them. Nevertheless, 1t was
Vivian Burnett who was responsible
for this amazing juvenile fashion some
years ago. For it was he who in
spired his mother, Frances Hodgson
Burnett to write the book that set this
style, "Little Lord Fauntleroy," and
the quaint ways, the sweetly candid
eyes, the friendly, kind little heart
that endeared its small hero to all
readers, were Vivian's.

own book, 1.-THE Romantic Lady,"

Nobody knows just why she chose

MOTHER GOOSE

WHO wrote the famous "Mother
w Goose Nursery Rhymes" we VIII
never know. Some Of them, sucn as
"Ride Cock Horse to Banbury
Cross" little Jack Horner," and
London Bridge Is Falling Down" are
obviously of English folk origins
others have been borrowed from 1a-l
nous collection of French folk tales
called "Tales of My Mother the
Goose" edited in 1897 by Charles Per-
rault. 1t is nevertheless fact that
our own country can claim a real
Mother Goose, through whom these
Indispensable nonsense ditties were
first introduced to the children OF
America.
Mother vergoose, her grandchildren
called her. Her name was Elizabeth
Vergoose, and she made her nome
with her daughter and son-in-law,
Thomas Fleet, in Boston, early In the
Eighteenth century. Like many grand
mothers she held active, if doting sway
in the Fleet nursery, and sang her
charges to sleep nightly with the we'll
known rhymes. Thomas Fleet was
a printer by trade, and important as
the editor of Boston's first newspaper.
the Boston News Letter. Recognizing
the value of Mother Vergoose's rhymes.
he wrote them down and in 1719 pub
lished printed copy which sold, and
sold well, at two coppers each.
Elizabeth Vergoose must be given
credit as collector. not as originator
of these poems. But in spirit she was
a real Mother Goose, Whose mel
odies shall never die, while nurses
sing and babies cry"

A MANS seating himself at table
"A before all the women present

it is bad form is to brand it as be-

1t is a long distance that the phrase

For "bad form" in it's present-day
usage as indicated is metophor de-

racer should.
From racing the term was applied
to athletics and sports generally and
