City of Pittsburgh Was
Named for William Pitt

In the tail, imposing figure of Will
liam Pitt, earl Of Chatham, the
American colonies had a distin-
guished champion in the British par
Lament in the period before the
American Revolution.
Much of Britain's dominance Of
North America, writes Leslie Hart
ley in the Washington Star, was
due to Pitts efforts and in a series
of expeditions against the French he
had cultivated the loyal cooperation
of the colonists.
When England began a program
of taxation which these colonists re-
garded as unjust, Pitt championed
their cause. He secured the repeal
Of the stamp act passed in 1765 and
protested again when a tax was
levied on tea, glass, paper and other
articles.
AS the quarrel deepened, Pitt, in
ITS introduced a bill in parliament
which declared the supremacy Of
England over the colonists in all
cases except taxation and he add
ed: You cannot conquer the col
onists."
Though he was never willing to
recognize American independence,
he continued topleadfor Cancellation.
America did not forget his friend
ship and among others, the city Of
Pittsburgh is named in his honor.

This can only mean, the Smith

were assembled only over a very
considerable period, possibly sew
eral thousand years, during which
there was notable change in the
climate. The Ice age extended over
approximately two million years.
But during this time there were
several retreats and advances Of
the glaciers with intervals of rela-

Mail Franking Privilege
Held by Adams for Life

John Adams, as a member OF
congress, was among the first to
be accorded the mail ranking priv
ilege and this he retained as am
basSador to the various courts Of
Europe. as Vice President under
Washington, as President and after
ward, by special act Of congress, for
life. Aside from Jefferson, recalls
a writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, no other President has had
the privilege as long as Adams and,
curiouSly, both died on the same
day, July 4. 1926, exactly so years
after both had signed the Declare
ton of independence.
In the first election of 1889 Adams
received the second highest number
Of electoral college votes and was
declared Vice President. He &C
cepted the Office, albeit with a bit
of chagrin as he did not relish being
second, and, although he had great
admiration for Washington, he felt
that his own contribution to the
cause Of the infant republic had
merited the greater reward.
In the vice presidency he served
the two terms under Washington
during the formation Of the first po-
litical parties. The Federalists, led
by Hamilton, believed in a strong
central government, and the Demo
neutrality-suspicious., followers of JET
ferson, in the supremacy Of the
states. Adams belonged to the for
mer but begrudged Hamilton the
leadership and as a consequence all
but missed the presidency in the
election of 1877.
Adams term in the presidency
was not happy. He las out Of har-
mony with his party. The country
came to the verge Of war with
France, which Adams personal &C
ton evaded but at the expense Of
much Of his prestige at home. Last
ly the notorious alien and sedition
laws which he had supported
brought resolutions of disapproval
from several Of the states. He was
defeated for reelection and in 1901
retired to his home in Quincy, never
again to take part in public life.
