We have a very interesting
''hero letter" from Alice Beall,
of Mitchellville, Md.
She wrote us:
George Washington is my
great hero.
"When he was living at Mt.
Vernon he lOnged for the sea
and adventures but his beloved
mother handicapped his plans.
He was sorry then but he was
glad later on when he was
made cOmmander-in-chief of
the American Revolution.
"He was our first great
President. When the time came
to choose a leader for the new
nation everyone thought of the
Master Of Mt. Vernon. He re-
ceived every vote. Washington
was troubled because he
thought he had done his share
in public life. But because
all the people put trust in him
he was persuaded to leave his
great home which he loved
dearly. New York was chosen
as the meeting place. He was
made very happy by the man.

Mulrooney was not going to

Mulrooney's head was still
added as he went into the

doors. His car was still stand
ing at the curb. He looked up
and down the street. No one
was in sight except colored
nursemaid with two children.
The detective was not GER

unconscious. There had been
sufficient time, no doubt, for
Cavanaugh to have turned a
corner and gone in either di-
rection. Perhaps he had cut

Leni smoothly. "But I think
you are. None of this would
have happened if you had lis

that?"
Mulrooney looked at her with
sullen and heavy eyes.
"If I listen to any more of

from your hands? I should
think it would be rather a
humiliating confession for an
officer of your reputation to
make"
Leni found it astonishing to
herself that she was able under
these circumstances to banter
Mulrooney. Perhaps it was be-
cause she had relaxed and was
no longer trying to accomplish
anything in particular.
"Where is that telephone?"
Leni conducted him to it.
There was not the faineSt use
in combating his angry OBJ
stinacy.
She would not even stay to
listen to Mulrooney's conVerSa-
ton with headquarters. 1t is
out of my hands. she thought.
There is nothing but to meet
the result decently. I would
like to have my own way about
all this-but there is no longer
any point in arguing with an
angry policeman.
She yawned a little because,
IN truth, she was somewhat
short of sleep. I'll go upstairs,
she decided, and lie down. Null

pleases. I've been rowing the
boat upstream all these years.
Now I'm going to put down the
oars and let it drift.

so much that life had lost it's
reality and was becoming a
wavering, uncontrolled dream.
Yet, somewhere, mysteriously,
there was that lark note of
happiness deeply hidden in her
secret self.
Mulrooney came back to her
with his dazed and troubled
eyes. In a minor way, she
couldn't help but feel sorry
for him.

"You better let me fix you

standing aside to let him enter

He walked straight into the

He found his hat on a chair,

CUBA AND SUGAR

The Cuban ambassador has been to
the white house. Upon emerging he
has said the president talked to him
about Cuban economic conditions and
sugar. There have been stories about
a preferential for Cuban sugar, to
give the island "break."
Cuban conditions are terrible. Star
walton is in evidence everywhere
except where tourists go.
A preferential would help relieve
some suffering.
But if President Roosevelt or any
one else believes that bit of gain in
economic conditions will still the con-
fict between the Cuban masses and
the bloody Machado dictatorship, he
simply doesn't know the full truth.
Cuba today is torn by a peculiar
civil war that will end only when
Mr.. Machado is out Of office. The
United States ought to get wise to
that important fact.

ARE WE LIVING TOO LONG?

Long life is becoming curse in
stead of blessing to many old peo-
pie, because after physicians have
prolonged their lives business and
industry give them no opportunity to
earn a living, DIR. Francis NJ. Pot
finger, retiring president of the Amer
lean College of Physicians, recently
said. He urges physicians to join in
an effort to change what he called an
admittedly unsatisfactory economic
system" and to take lead in "this
period of reconstruction which is upon
u.s."
"The fact that the number of peo-
pie 65 years of age has increased so
markedly in recent years." DR.. Pot
finger declared, requires that our
economic system make adequate pro-
vision for workers, both during their
productive period and in their declin-
ing years, otherwise public health
measures become a mockery and work
an injury rather than blessing. The
increased amount Of Illness which

Mr.. FARLEY MAKES AN
ANNOUNCEMENT

Postmaster General Farley has
announced that Edward F. McGrady,
A. F. of L. legislative committee
member, is to be assistant secretary
of labor.
If the announcement has thus far
come from no other source, we may
assume Mr.. Farley knows what he is
talking about.
On that assumption, the Press rises
to remark that the McGrady appoint
ment is the best yet made, bar none.
Edward F. McGrady "yesses" no
man. He has quick wit. He thinks
soundly. He sees a long way ahead
of his nose. He has the willingness
to fight, amounting almost to eager
ness. He has courage.
The McGrady appointment just
about makes a certainty of the OBJ
servation that the "little cabinet" is tt
be more important in this admins
tration than the big cabinet.

ENDING CHILD LABOR

By ratifying the child labor amend
ment to the federal constitution, the
Ohio legislature brings to 10 the num-

progressive proposal.
Other states that have ratified this
amendment since the new year are
Oregon, Washington and North Da-
kota California, Arizona, Wisconsin,
Montana, Colorado and Arkansas
share the distinction Of being the first
six among the ratifying states.
Ohio's ratification comes at most
opportune time. The government at
Washington is organizing ways and
means of reducing unemployment.
By giving congress full power to
limit, regulate and prohibit the labor
Of persons under 18 years Of age, as
the child labor amendment provides,
hundreds Of thousands Of children of
school age can be returned to school,

Approximately 1,0OO,000 children OF
school age are believed to be out of
school today and out of work. It is
estimated that more than 2,000,0 ,00O
children of school age are out OF
school and at work.
If the states will ratify the child

FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1888
SPECIAL ELECTION TUESDAY

Next Tuesday is election day in
Hamilton, at which time there will
be held a special election for the peo-
pie to vote on two questions that
have been before them for long
time. One is for the people to say
who shall conduct the city's trans
portation system, the city itself, the
Schisler Company, or the Hamilton
City Lines, Inc, which is really the
C. & L. E. R. R. The other ques-
ton is whether the city charter shall
be amended to do away with the
proportional representation method of
voting, known as the P. R., and go
back to the old method of voting. That
is, do away with using figures to denote
choice for city council members or
place (X) marks before the names
of seven candidates.
In both instances, transportation
and P. R., Trades Council has been
asked to take stand for this or that
proposition, but Trades Council has
turned thumbs down on both ques-
tions, leaving it to the trade unionists
of Hamilton to use their own good
judgment in the matter of voting on
both questions. And so with the
Press. The Press also has been i'm
portuned to take stand for this and
that side, but the Press, like Trades
Council, believes the people them
selves know best what is good for
them, and if they are "sick" of any
thing they will know the best "medi-
cine" to vote themselves.
The questions involved and to be voted
ed upon next Tuesday are ones that
have been much discussed for the past
five years or more and no doubt the
minds of the voters are we'll made up
as to just what and the way they in
tend voting next Tuesday-and they
won't need the help of anybody to
tell them what to do.
Just this, however, as stated be-
fore, these questions have long been
discussed, and they are of so much
Importance to every man, woman and
child in the city that, now that the
opportunity is here for real expires
sion of wants and desires on the prop
ositions, the Press urges every voter
to go to the polls next Tuesday and
vote his or her sentiments.

Other members Of the committee are

Says Mars Il Drying Up
Same Way Our Moon Did

II any plant or creature lives on
Mars, 1t must be quite different from
the things on earth, observes writer
In the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The nights are very cold, as low In
temperature as II degrees below zero
and breathing is difficult because the
air is rare. And there is a scarcity
OF water, which we would find quite
unbearable.
More than that, we'd probably feel
very giddy. There Is no strong pull
Of gravity on Mars. like that on earth,
which holds us firmly and steadily
down on the ground. A hop and
skip on Mars, and one would be soar
ing up In the air, and sailing smoothly
down again.
BY the help Of telescopes, which pro-
ject our sight thousands Of miles past
the limits of our eyes, scientists have
seen q network of what seem to be
canals on Mars. And some men have
believed that this may be proof that
people have built them. Others say
the canals are really marshes which
are flooded with water when the Ice
at the polar regions of Mars melts and
which dry up when 1t freezes again.
This, they say. makes the network
look different at different seasons.
Mars is not so near the sun as the
earth is, and 1t is 4 small planet.
Sometimes as the planets swing
around the sun, 1t comes fairly near
the earth--within S5,0O0,OOO miles, but
usually it Is more than 6O00O,000 miles
away from US.

much the same way as our moon did {;
and in few million years it will prob
ably be too dry and too cold for any
thing possibly to live on its surface.
