BOSTON REMAINS QUIET No Big Celcbration to Mark 114th Anniversary of Departure of Gen. Howe's British Troops. Boston, March 17.—This was evacu- ation day here, the 144th anniversary of the departure from Boston harbor of Gen. Howe and his troops, but the observance was without the custem- ary parade. Streets still thick with the winter's accumulation of ice and snow made the march of military and civie organizations impracticable. As a result celebration of St. Pat- rick’s day, which in ather years has been coupled to a considerable extent with the local anniversary, was some- what lessened. The principal interest in the evacua- tion day program centered in the ded- jeation of a public square in the south Boston district. The square was named in honor of Michael J. Perkins of the 101st regiment who captured single handed a German piltbox with its crew and died shortly afterward. Wants éharges Reopened Against Assemblymen Albany, N.

REPUBLICAN PARTY COUNTRY’S SAVIOR Such Is Opinion Expressed by Will Hays Roanoke, Va., March 17.—Declar- !ing that the rcpublican party stands { first for, “the honest, eflicient. and economical business administration of the country's affairs,” Will F. Hays, chairman of the republican | national committee, in an address before the state republican conven- tion here today, pleaded for, ‘‘pa- triotism in peace as well as war,” and asserted that, the country has, “‘slip- ped along under this democratic ad- ministration, without any adequate thought of the problems that would confront us until the shock of peace was here, just as we did before we entered the war.” Outlining the principal which his party stands, said: things for Mr. Hays G. O. P. Is Cure-All “I suggest that above all things the republican party stands first for honest, efficient, and economical bus- iness administration of the country’'s affairs. It was formerly said that, ‘Honesty is tRe best policy’ as a mat- ter of business. Honesty is the best policy as a matter of morals. In like manner there is but one kind of suc- cessful politics, of faithful, efficient, honest, and economical, administra- tion. The only successful politics in the situation today is to find out what is best for the country and do it first: We want more men in pol- itics for what they can give and not what they can get. “I suggest the republican party stands for the development and exe- cution of a plan for the reduction of taxes, with the repeal of taxes which kill initiative, and the spreading of war debt over a large number of years. “I believe there shall be developed a better relation between labor and capital, with justice to both and with justice to the public the third side of the triangle, which must not be forgotten. For Law and Order. “We feel that there shall be an administration of law and order everywhere in the nation. “The party shall measure its steps forward by the new needs of the na- tion with eyes always ahead, but with its feet always on solid ground.” Asserting that there are two na- tural inquiries from women new in politics, “What d@oes the republican party offer the women? and What does the republican party stand for?” Mr. Hays declared: “The republican party offers the women everything we offer the men. “The only just rule for a political party,” he added, “is that the rights of participation in the management of the party’s affairs must be and remain equal cred and sacredly equal. The republican wamen in the country con- stitute one-half of the party’s mem- bership. In many states this has long been so. In the presidential campaign of 1920 it is my very earnest hope and well-founded judgment that it shall be so everywhere. “There is to be no separate wom- en’s organization created within the party, except and only in those cases where such an arrangement may be needed temporarily as an efficient aid in the complete amalgamation which is our objective. Rights for Women. “To the women and to men alike the party offers the right of a political self-determination, and that is the an- swer to the second query, “What does the party stand for?"” Holding that ‘“there must be In this country twe political parties and both must be strong and virile,” Mr. Hays said, “I do not ask that all women be- come repubticans. ‘o which party you belong is of less consequence than that you belong to some party,” he said. “I would rather a woman join with our oppon- ents than belong to no party..” Of patriotism in politics he declar- ed: “I have no use for the individual who is either ‘too busy’ or ‘too good’ to help. He has no just complaint to make, whatever happens. He is rid- ing on another’s ticket. I have an abiding faith that there will be an awakened sense of civie duty as a by- preduct of this war.” Expressing the belief that the coun- try’s problems are largely economic ones, Mr. Hays pointed out that the industrial difficulties in this country, which he said, at the moment seem to be overwhelming, “can be and I have explicit faith will be solved in one way—by finding exact justice and en- forcing it. For Federal Regulations. “The republican party,” he said, “from its inception has stood against undue federalization of industries and activities. There must be stroug fed- eral regulation, but not government ownership.” Referring to the American ,soldiers in the war with Germany, Mr. Hays said: “The republican party will never forget the debt we owe to the soldiers who have won this war. We used to hear: ‘Foad will win the war, Liberty bonds will win the war, thrift stamps will win the war." They did not. They all helped to win the war, but the war was won by the fighting men at the fighting front, and in no other way. And the party’s appreciation of our soldiers will be remembered.” ‘Wonld Kill Disloyalty. In closing Mr. Hays appealed to his hearers to. “find disloyvally if there be any in the land and scotch it: find dis honesty if there be dishonesty and crush it; find the right and cleave unto it. “Keep your eves raised. Americans, but keep your feet on solid ground,” he exclaimed. “Find the reason for discontent, and meet it squarely: correct the cause where there is a cause and mercilessly destroy the excuse where it is an ex- cuse only. Give every well behaved man and woman their equality of op- portunity and require from them their full measure of accountability.™ i LOVE I8 INSANITY Dumb-Waiter Wooing Resented by Comely Blonde and | Judge Sends Him to Bellevue.

She submitted his let- ters to Judge McDonald. In one of them Moyer said: “I have a wild nature and have never made a good husband. Get osme slow-going dub, for they make better livings and better husbands.” Judge McDonald agreed with him and granted Mrs. Moyer a divorce. PUT 6 STITCHES IN HEART.
