process only cotton produced by free
labor He Mortified his neighbors in
upstate New York by training his
daughters to be self-supporting and
engaged special teachers to give them
a thorough foundation in "unlady-
like" subjects. Susan was brilliant
scholar but so skilled in cooking and
sewing that many friends urged her
to waste no time in masculine pur-
suits like mathematics.
Her unusual training proved in
valuable when she was only 18. Dan

Tate still thought there was room for
one more good newspaper in Wash

interest of the community. and which
would print the news, particularly the
local news.

THE man that nowadays will write
And not prepay his letter.
Is worser than the heathens are,
What don't know any better;
And if you take fine-tooth comb,
And rake down all creation
You couldn't find a meaner man
In this here mighty Nation"
OF course, something laudatory had
to be said for itself, and this Is the
way the poet put it:

Most beautiful thou art
The brightest one that greets the eye,
The dearest to the heart.
by thee how many lovers plight
Their warm and constant love,
While, through the silent shades Of
night.
Thou smilest from abovei
How many hearts, in holy dreams.
To thee are turned at even,
And feel as if thy glowing beams
Lit uc their path to Heaven!
when shining DER the stormy sea,
Where angry billows roar,
How many put their faith in thee,
And safely reach the shore!
Then beam, oh, gentle star, on me,
When dangers round me rise,
And guide my spirit up to thee,
To dwell in blissful skies!"
MR.. TATE, we are told, had the
AA elements of success. but evi-
IDENTIFY he lacked one qualification; he
was not a business executive" And
though he was popular and widely
known throughout the city, yet he
soon found that the elements Of sue
cess with which he was endowed were
not alone suficient to make The
Star a paying proposition; and so,
after publishing the paper for about
six months. he sold out on July /,
1883. to w. D. Wallach and w. H.
Hope. who, in turn. later sold out to
other interests.
Mr.. Tate did not leave the paper.
however, but remained with it until
his death in 1858. preferring, as has
been said. q sure thing on a weekly
salary to the hazards of absolute
ownership. In The Stars twenty-fifth
anniversary number it said of him:
He was an honorable, straightfor-
ward, kind-hearted man and greatly
esteemed"
Mr.. Tate served as secretary of the
Washington Light Infantry until
September /, l845, when he declined
reelection. Later he became its COM
manding officer.
The Infantry was not devoted alone
to drilling. by any means, but it liked
to be entertained and to entertain its
friends and military companies from
out of town, and an item of expendi-

which was the center of the famous

wife our first President, and Poca-

Smith. The tribute to Susan Anthony
is especially fitting on the sixteenth

She led the bloodless revolution which
spread from the United States to
nation after nation, until nearly all
Europe gave women q voice in gov

The portrait of Miss Anthony which
will adorn the new stamp is after
Carrara bust by her friend, Adelaide
johnson, the American sculptress. Mrs.
johnson used this same bust for her
Mott Stanton Anthony monument,
Apostles of the New Times" which
is now in Statuary Hall at the Capitol.
Susan Anthony was born in 1920,
when teaching and domestic service
were the only occupations generally
open to both sexes. Unmarried women
were "spinsters, usually dependent on
family generosity. Wives could not
hold property in their own names
and children, in case of divorce, be-
longed exclusively to the father. Under
English common law generally in force
in America a married woman was
entirely subordinate to her husband,
who might select her associates

freedom and chastise her as though
she were his apprentice or child"

girls.

serving as secretary down to May IL,
1840. when he was succeeded by Jo-
seph B. Tate.

merchants Of around SO years ago,
trading under the firm name of Clarke

Tenth and C and Twelfth streets

avenue and Thirteen street
southwest.
Joseph B. Tate strikes near home,
for it was he who founded The Star in
1852, and issued the first regular edi-
ton on December 16 of that year,
which he called the Daily Evening
Star. He was a practical printer, and
at one time set type on the Daily Ma
tional Intelligencer of this city. 1t is
quite likely he was the son of Sarah
Tate, widow, who in 1846, and later,
was residing on the south side of D
street between Sixth and Seventh
streets northwest, the same address
the directory gives for Mr. Tate.
Prior to this effort in newspaper
publishing, Mr.. Tate, in partnership
with three men named Connolly, Wi
mer and McGill, conducted q daily
paper called the American Telegraph,
issued in the interest of Gen. Winfield
Scott, who was defeated for the presi-
dency by Franklin Pierce IN the cam
paign of 1852. The paper ceased to
exist after the announcement OF the
defeat of its candidate. However, Mr..
