Presumably Benny followed his
uncle's advice but he was too much
Of Franklin not to be restless. He
soon became dissatisfied, even
though Franklin increased his share
of the profits, and wanted to Ego il
on his own" So Franklin sold him
the press which he moved to Bos-
ton. There in 1853 he issued the
first separate edition of Franklin's
Father Abraham's Speech" later
famous under the title of 1.-THE Way

Unfortunately Benny didn't apply
its lessons to himself. He became
something of fop, strutting around
in fine clothes instead Of sticking
to work. Failing to prosper, he
moved the press to New York in
1853 but had no better success there.
Then he went to New Haven where
he rented a press from Postmaster
Parker. whose deputy he became.
But he failed to make good there,
as he did later in Philadelphia and
Burlington, N. ].
Benny Mecom had inherited his
uncle's nan but none of his genius
for making success. Finally
about 1776. he went mad.

Patriot and Painte,

zen. GEORGE WASHINGTON,
besieging the British in Boston,
wanted accurate drawings of the
enemy's positions. So a young Con-
necticut Yankee volunteered to get
them. He crept close to the British
lines and made sketches which
pleased the commander SO much
that he made the young fellow
colonel and his second aide-de-camp.
The young colonel next served as
acknowledgement to General Gates
and in 1778 accompanied General
Sullivan as volunteer against the
British in Rhode Island. When this
expedition proved unsuccessful. he
resolved to give. up soldering.
He went to London to study under
Benjamin West and soon became
the favorite pupil of that great
painter. When Maj. John Andre,
G;e British acknowledgement in
America, was caught and hanged as
a spy, the young painter seemed to
the British the logical man to be
used for reprisal. So they put him
in prison. Instead of protesting, the
truculent young Yankee boosted
that he had been an aide to that
"arch REBEL" George Washington,
and was proud of it.
Only the Intervention of his paint
er friends, West and Copley, saved
him from hanging. Lucky for
America that they did! Otherwise
John Trumbull might never have
lived to paint such great historical
works as 1.-THE Battle of Bunker
Hill" 1.-THE Signing of the Declara-
ton of Independence" and 1.-THE
Surrender of CORVALLIS at York

election in which certain groups attempted to influence voters on the basis of religion, race or class. / That is NOT the American way.
 Different racial and religious groups are demanding political office because they control votes.
 That is NOT the,American way.
 This is a plain warning to us of the inroads the propaganda of certain European governments is making in our way of life-how our very manner of thought has been affected by the poison spread here.
 That is NOT the American way.
 The true time tried and hon. ored American way is to think in terms of America as 8 whole-to do things for the good of America and not selfishly for the benefit of any special group.
 THAT is the American way.
 America cannot exist split into selfish minority groups spreading suspicion and hate-preaching class hatred as the Communists do, racial hatred as the Nazis do or religious hatred as certain in- dividuals are doing.
