PRAYER FOR 1850
by Fanny Heaslip Lea
Anything God, but hate -.
have known it in my day,
And the best it does is to scar your soul
And eat your heart away.
We must know more than hate
AS the years 60 reeling on,
For the stars survive
And the spring survives -.
Only man denies the dawn.
God i if one prayer be mine -
Before the cloud-wrapped end -.
am sick of hate and the waste it makes -
Let me be my brothers friend.

A PROCLAMATION
1899

The quartering of British troops in
time of peace in Boston, in ITO
caused great resentment. During a
resulting disturbances in King Street
(noW State Street, at the corner of
Exchange Street, the Kings soldiers
fired under some provocation and
killed five men and wounded several
other persons. Popular feeling ran
so high against the soldiers who were
CHARGED with murder that it was diff
cult for them to find any one who
dared to act as their lawyer.
Two of the men who had been most
active in protesting against the quar-.
tering of troops and in stirring the
public sentiment against it were John
Adams, then about thirty-four, and
Josiah Quincy, Jr., then about twenty
six years old. To their dismay, they
were asked to defend the soldiers in
the face, not only of popular resent.
ment, but of that of many of their
friends and even members of their
families. Believing that American in
dependence demanded not only free
dom from the quartering of troops,
but also a fair trial for persons ac-
cused of crime, they decided that it
was their duty as lawyers and Ameri-
can patriots to face the resentment
and to assist in protecting the reputa-
ton of American justice. They pre-
sented the law and the evidence fairly
to the court and jury with the result
that all were acquitted of the charge
of deliberate murder, and only two

enough to amount to the justification
Of self-defense.

program was Irving Ridley, tenor. The
concert was under the auspices Of Mt.
Zion Lodge, No. s, A. F. and A. M.
Within recent years Mr.. Evans has be-
come well known in musical circles of
Greater Boston and has appeared as
pianoforte accompanist on many sue
cessful local programs. A good sized
audience attended the recital.
The following selections were rem
dered by Mr.. Evans: Pastorale, and
Sonata in A, Scarlatti; Prelude and
Fugue, No. 21; Bach; Variations Ser
ieuses, Mendelssohn; Chopin's G Major
and D Minor Preludes, Nocturne, Op.

these he displayed his well-trained tech
nique.
Other interesting piano compositions
heard were: The Island Spell, John
Ireland; Marche, Prokofeff, and Saint
Saena "Toccato" which was the high
light of the afternoon. Mr. Evans is a
sincere and talented pianist and was
literally applauded. Among other Sc

The Crispus Attucks Political league,
Atty. Joseph S. Mitchell, president,
was among the scores of organizations
that attended the Governors Washing
ton Birthday reception at the State
House. In all, seventy-six religious,
political, civic, fraternal and social or
CARNATIONS accepted invitations and
were present at the hour and assembl-
ing point which had been arranged and
agreed upon. For a Governors recep-
ton requires time, care and tact in MAX
ing proper plans so that the various
invited groups may know before hand
when it will be their turn in the line
to greet the Governor.
Crispus Attucks League attended in
a body, assembled at its prearranged
meeting place at the State House and
was duly escorted to its place in the
line of guests in accordance with the
official schedule.
The report from an observer, pub
lished last week, that colored guests
were 'herded" is therefore erroneous.
Some of the organizations at the
Governors reception were GAR. staff
officers and Women's Relief Corps;
Townsend Club, Household of Ruth,
K. of p, Elks, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts,
American Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, Catholic Daughters of America,
OAR. Order of Sons of Italy, Chari-
table Irish Society, Jewish War Vet

1t is said that the Crispus Attucks
league sent one Of the largest delega-
tions, and included men, women and
children. Two children led the league
in line.

chairman, is understood to have as

fact that harmony prevails as shown
by interest taken in all the Leagues
activities.

Roads Replace Rails

Washingtonians will join residents
Of nearby Maryland in welcoming
the decision of the Maryland State
Roads Commission to add the con-
struction OF a road on the aban-
doned Washington, Baltimore g.
Annapolis right Of way to its 1910
program. The plan, as announced
by the commission, calls for the
construction Of an eight-mile stretch
from Northeast Washington to the
Defense highway beyond Buena
Vista.
Off1cials Of the commission are
pushing the project as a means Of
helping eliminate traffic congestion
at the Bladensburg Peace Cross.
From some sections of the city it
will be longer route to bay resorts
than the direct course through
Bladensburg. Motorists who have
experienced the nerve-racking traffic
jams at the Peace Cross, however,
will be willing to drive extra miles
to avoid them. A more satisfactory
solution would have been to work
out some sort Of overpass cloverleaf
intersection at the Peace Cross.
That, of course, would have involved
a heavy expenditure, and probably
would not have proved permanently
satisfactory unless the flood peril at
Bladensburg were eliminated.
The highway over the W., B. g. A.
route also will be rather costly, pre-
liminary estimates placing the ex-
penditure at $25O,000. It will, how
ever, do more than help eliminate
congestion at Bladensburg. 1t will
provide straighter and in all prob
ability much safer road than the
section of the Defense highway for
which 1t will serve as an alternate
route. 1t will, furthermore, provide
a modern traffic artery TOR several
communities which have been left
high and dry" since the railroad
was abandoned.
If use of the eight-mlle stretch
of the abandoned roadbed proves
satisfactory, the rest of the road
may be constructed to afford a COM
plete new route to Baltimore. The
roads commission also may conclude
that it will be desirable to build
highway over the abandoned Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad right of way.
which meets the w., B. g. A. at
Chesapeake Junction.
In any event, now that Maryland
has decided to use the W., B. g. A..
route, 1t is to be hoped that the new
road will be built as soon as possible
so that another full summer of
traffic jams at Blandensburg can
be avoided.
