and. it is not too much to say, through
the Declaration of independence.
THE Fairfax resolves became the
basis of the action of the Virginia
convention in August, Of which Wash
ington was a member. and they like
wise became, to a large extent, the
basis of the action of the First Con-
tinental Congress, of which he was
also a member"
In all there were 26 separate reso-
lutions drafted by Mason, the first
one only being given here on account
of limited space. 1t reads:
81. Resolved, That this Colony and
Dominion of Virginia cannot be con-
sidered as conquered country and,
if it was, that the present inhabi-
tants are not of the conquered. but
of the conquerors. That the same
was not settled at the national ex-
penSe of England, but at the private
expense of the adventures, our anceS-
tors, by solemn compact with, and
under the auspices and protection of.
the British crown, upon which We
are in every respect as dependent as
the people of Great Britain, and in
the same manner subject to all his
majesty's just, legal and constitu-
tional prerogatives; that our ances-
tors, when they left their native land
and settled in America. brought with
them, even If the same had not been
confirmed by charters, the civil con-
stitution and form of government of
the country they came from, and
we're by the laws of nature and ma
tions entitled to all its privileges, i'm
munities and advantages, which have
descended to us, their posterity, and
ought of right to be as fully enjoyed
as if we had still continued within
the realm of England"
THE Revolution came on. Washing
ton passed through Alexandria on
his way north to assume supreme
command of the armies of the United
Colonies, and few years later re-
turned in triumph to Mount Vernon,
having liberated the Colonies from
the yoke of Great Britain.
He sought rest and retirement, but
this was not to be, and in 1889 we
find him bound for New York, to be
sworn in as the first President of the
United States. As on former and on
subsequent occasions, he passed
through Alexandria, and here he was
met by delegation headed by Dennis
Ramsay. the mayor of the town, who
greeted the general in the name of its
citizens, and addressed him as fol-
lows:

ITALY WAKING Up

StraWs show which way the wind is
blowing, and likewise, where there is
smoke there is fire.
Straws and smoke coming from Italy
yesterday indicate that all is not as we'll
as it might be in a country on the brink
OF terrible war
The Italian press, usually under the
firm control Of the dictator. Mussolinl,
showed first signs of expressing itself,
and though somewhat yelled and circum-
spect. indicated belief that Il Duce is
leading his people on a costly and dan
gerous path.
Again. there We're rumors, promptly
denied of a break between the House of
Savoy and Mussolini The denial came
SO promptly and so yehemently as to
give birth to the thought that It was writ
ten by Mussolini, without any consulta-
ton with King Victor Emmanuel
The Italian press cannot be hobbled
perpetually by Mussolini, and being an
editor himself, he ought to know that.
His own paper, in the old days before
the war. was strong Socialistic organ,
pounding away at governmental ineffi-
cheney. Only Jail for Mussolini and eX-
lie, halted it. There are Italian editors
of courage and patriotism, who ultimate
" will take their pens in hand and write
what they think. When they do, Musso-
lini's fall will be hastened
As for the possibility of break be-
tween the House of Savoy, the ruling
family in Italy, and Il Duce, there is
plenty of reason to believe it may ma
terialize The Italian people remember
that it was Garibaldi, their great ma
tional hero. who put the House of Savoy
into power. 1t has always had the deep
respect and love OF the Italians, and
while considered to be weak from stand
point of comparison with other rulers,
Victor Emmanuel mas long been the
p.ide of the Italians, before Mussolini
stepped into power. If break should
come. the king will have as many loyal
followers as II Duce.
It becomes more apparent each day
that Mussolini has worked himself into
a tight spot, and getting out of it is GO
ing to be difficult Getting out of it and
still retaining his prestige and power
will be even more difficult

UNCLE WIGGILY AND MICKY'S
MARBLES

Once upon a time there was a
little rabbit boy whose name was
Micky. Perhaps his right name was
Michael but ne was never called
that Uncle Wiggily, who was his
father, thought Mickv a much more
cute name than Michael and so the
bunny boy was given his pet name.
There is time enough" said
Nurse Jane, who also liked the name
Micky, ITO call him Michael when
he grows up to be a big rabbit, isn't
there, Micky, my lad?' she asked.
yes, thank you" said Micky, for
he was very little rabbit and he
really didn't care what name they
gave him.
One day Micky didn't feel verv

low stump bungalow so his mother
said:

shouted Buster.

and DR.. Possum will come and give

Iongears looking straight at Buster
Then Buster said:

Not Very Ill
But Micky really wasn't very IL
DR.. Possum said he might be getting
cold and that he had better stay
in bed the rest of the day and take
some medicine, only it wouldn't be
bitter.
So Micky wasn't very unhappy
until about the middle Of the after
noon when he wanted to get out OF
bed and play around the room.
No, his mother told him, you
must stay in bed
But 7 can't have any fun in
bed" complained Micky. I want

galow But on his way through the
woods Mr.. Longears saw the Bob
Cat sneaking along and the rabbit
gentleman ran fast to get away
from the Bad Chap. He ran so
fast that the bag of marbles
bounced out Of his pocket, broke
open and the marbles were scatter
ed on the ground, under the dried
leaves.
oh. dear, Nov I've got to stop
and pick up Micky's marbles" said
Uncle Wiggily. Il can't get him
any more at the store SO I must pick
up these. But it will take me a
long time for many of them are
hidden under the dried leaves" 3" So
Uncle Wiggily began picking up the
scattered marbles. 1t was hard
work and very slow All of a sud
Gen thsre was a rustling in the
leaves and along came Johnnie and

When they saw what Uncle Wiggily

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. - One
OF the questions which has been
pushed constantly TO the front in
connection with Philippine indepen-
dence has peen the position of the
Islands in event of war in the Paci-
tic.
Manuel Quezon, just elected first
president OF the Philippine com
monWealth, has frequently discussed
this issue as have other Philippine
leaders.
Quezon's election recalled 10 his
Washington friends a story told af-
ter he passed through Japan last
year on his way back TO the islands
from the United States.
During Quezon's stay in Japan
there were many goodwill banquets
and much talk Of the blessings of
peace arxl Of the determination Of
al parties TO maintain it.
Accompanying Quezon was his
young son, Manuel Quezon, Jr., g.
IN token of the fine feeling be-
tween Japan and the Philippines,
one japanese official presented
young Quezon with a little remem-
brance.
The gift was a small japanese
/ battle cruiser, complete in arma-
merts ana fittings down to the
smallest detail.
About twice a month a little item
n the newspapers announces that
President Roosevelt will open a new
bridge, light a new beacon or start
some ceremony by pressing button
in the white house.
The latest Of these items concern
ed the Florida ship canal. Mr..
Roosevelt started preliminary work
on the project with this ceremony
last Thursday.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Roose-
Yelt doesn't press a button
He pressed a solid gold telegraph
key. The key Is the same one used
at the White House on such occa-
sions since Just after the turn OF
the century.
The key was brought to the White
House from Alaska to be used in
opening the Alaska Yukon exposi-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt Is the sixth pre-
sjdent to finger the key.
Doc Smithers, veteran White
House empIoye, IS custodian of the
gold key. Every time the President
has to start the works Of something
or other he plugs a wire IN and at

THANKS FOR BALL GAMES

Last nights game between Cfamer 5
Bakers and the Maggie Fat Boys vlrtu-
ally rings down the curtain on 1888 soft
ball games in El Centre.
Throughout the late spring and sum
mer, the teams IN FL Gentro's two night
leagues have provided wholesome recre-
alton for thousands Of local residents, at
little or 10 cost 10 the latter They were
At liberty to make contributions at each
game, if they SO desired. However, il
they had nothing to contribute they were
welcome 10 stay and watch the games.
For that matter, the game would be
nearly over anyhow, before the eollec-
tors came around.
This column has on various occasions
commented on night baseball, and has
given its full approval and encourage
ment TO this form of entertainment
There are few desirable means of rec
reation here throughout the warm sea-
son of the year, and those which cost
little or nothing are even more scarce.
Hundreds who otherwise would have
had to sit home and tWiddle their thumbs,
or lust set . have been able to go to the
ball park, relax and forget their wor-
ries even forget the heat, watching the
ball players go through their work.
At the seasons close II is entirely fit
ting and proper to extend public vote
of thanks to the officials of the two
leagues and to the players, and also to
the girls team, for several months Of eX
cellent sport. It Is to be hoped that
baseball will return next year, bigger
and better than ever.
