When President Lee directs attestion to the “commen welfare” he deals with a matter which has been utterly disre- garded in both the coal and rail strikes, and it s because of that that thers has been such resentment .at the methods pursued and so Wttle sympathy with the efforts -of the strikers.

On the anniversary of its independ. ence this country among all others de- serves to be foremost in the extension of its greetings to the republic of Bra- il as it reaches its one hundredth birth- day. We seryed as the example and we have continued to inspire the peopse of that big South Americsn country ever since. We have exercised a guardian- ship over that and other republies of ths western hemfsphers through our Mon- oo dootrine, and thongh there are those who may not fully appreclate it, it Is unquestionably a bulwark of stremgth S53 38508 £ s which has protected them through o other activity than its existence and h knowledge that the United States was firmly behind it. Happy s it to note that Brasil has been enthused to fttingly celebrate its contenary by such an elaborate exposi- tion as has been arranged. Whatever may have been its position in the eyes of others in the past it is bound to get & much different rating through the en- lightenment that will come therefrom. Brazil will know more about other na- tions and the great number that are at- tracted to Rio Janeiro will bring homa| stories of Brasilian advancement and opportunities that will be of lasting ben- oftt. This country is indeed fortunate in the choice of ita yepresentative to the exposition. Our greetings' and our at titude to this and ethe- nations of the western hemisphers will be clearly and convincingly presented by Secretary Hughes. The opportunity for bringing the ties of friendship closer will be w- utilized. The exposition also gives the! United States the opportunity for ace quiring its own embassy in Rio, since that is the future use for its exposition bullding, and will be anofher instance of carrying out that peliey of heving our embassies established in _forelgm countries in keeping with the size and! importance of the natlon. et EDITORIAL NOTES.

Now, Bab had a desp vein of supersti- tion, although he would have died rather than admit it. It he could butter Letty's feet—it he could —he would try it and sse how it worked. Letty met him at the deor, bubbling over as usval. She had a dozen things to tell him to make him laugh.

She sang his favorite songs, she played hig favorite seleations; she made harm- less - drinks—delicfous all the more bez cause they were harmless.

It was silent ypstairs. Letty must be asleep. He looked at the cat, then thought of the butter. He went swiftly to the icebox, brought out a pat of butter, clicked off the lights and went silently up the stairs. Letty was sleeping peacefully. She made a perfect picture of repose, and, he gazed, well satisfied that everything was working out as he wished. The night was so.warm that she had thrust her feet out from the thin covering, and Bob stovped to apply the butter. Now Letty had peculiarly sensitive feet. As Bob plastered the butter he touched a sensitive merve. Letty gave a powerful kiek, landing on Bob's right eye. He gave a howl of pain, while Let- ty turned over to a more eomfortable po- sition. She wag not weke up; she was a heavy sleeper, as he knew from experi- ence. Hours later, or so awoke. There at her feet was a harrible Dlack™ creature, | licking her_ toes. She could not move; she felt petrified as the terrible animal glared and looked ready to spring I she uttered a cry to Bob. "After an eternity of walting, the ani- mal jumped off the bed and slunk away. “Bob," she called in her weakest volee, “Bob, dear, wake up; T'm so frightened.” Bob was in ne comforting mood, but he g0t out of bed and turned on the lights. Letty sreamed when she saw him. “Look at your eve, it is all black, Such 2 night T've had. What did you do to your eye?’ Bob refused to say what he did. She sat up with the air of a tragedy queen. “There was some terrible black animal sitting on my feet most of the night. Don't think I'm ergzy, Bob: he really ¢ld.

Clay's father, who was a minister, died when Henry was just a little over four ¥ears of .age, in 1781, and a short time afterwards the boy was eent to the country sehool in the neighborhood, taught by an Englishman named Peter Deacan. Here he learned to read and write and a very little arithmetic. In this log school housy in “The Slashes,” the only achool Clay ever attended, he spent three years. Af- ter leaving this school he lived with his mother on the little farm which was their hame, and assi der in such du- ties a5 a boy of hi je could perform, being aften seen on his way to @ neigh- boring mill with a bag of grain—where- fore his popu! title later in political The Mill Boy of The The story of Hemry Clay is ome of the romances of American history, Al- most in a night he rose to fame and power. ~ Thig rapid rise shows the won- dertul chances the paor boy had in his day. For poor he was, and when hard- ly tall enough to reach the handles of the plow he was compelled, in order to assist in the support of his widowed mother, to walk barefooted along the furrows. Again, from time to time, Wwhenever the meal barrel was low, fe would take a turn o meal to Dar- ricoft’s mill on the Pamunkey river, jogging slong en the family pony with a great bag for a saddle and a rope for a bridle, “The Mill Boy of The Slashes” kin- died, at the time, much sentiment in the bosoms of the American people, and constituted a part of every mmpular po litical pageant of the Whig party in the presidential campaign of 1844. It con- tinues to be poetic since the generation which first felt -{ls power has passed away. It will never cease to be so while postry is natural to men. The humble beginping of Garfield on the towpath, and Lincoln splitting rells, is duplicated in Clay's homely mill trips, and while the former two aitained the greatest of their ambitions, the pre: dency, Clay was no less a prominent fig- ure even if 'he failed fo' reach the goa! 3fter three unsuccesstul attempts. Clay began his professional career at the age of fourteen in Richmond, and here his talent was quickly recognized and he was given a clerkship In the Vir~ ginla high court of.chancery.. He ac: quired considerable experience in copy- of legal documents and after a oe time he dotermined to become a Ia Wyer. Shortly after being admitted to the bar Clay moved to Kentucky, and it was mot long befgre the “Mill Boy of ‘The Slashes” was looked upon as the leading lawyer of Lexington. In sarly years, finding his volee defeptive, he set aboyt steadfastly to improve it. Day by day he declaimed to the empty fields or 1o audiences of farm animals until, by dint of long practice, he had perfect- od the high, silvery tones which charm- ed all hearers, and with which he could play at will as on the stops of an or- €lay's first political oftice was in the leglslature of his state, and ‘it 1§’ said that when he was down for a ech. the seats in the senate were empty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Unjust to Small Children, Mr. Editor: Mathers of children 5 years of age living in the neighborhood of Pearl strest school found on Wednes- day when that school opened that their children could not be taken in there but must go to' Elizabeth strest school. This ruling seems unfair to the moth- ers and the children as Pearl street is near at home while Elizabeth street is more than a half mile walk for most of the children. and any walk of this dis- tance is out of the question for & B- Year-old child when winter comes. It it is possible it seems as though the school board might make some change in this plan and relieve the mothers cof all the worry that must cams it the children are forced to go far out of their way to the Elizabeth street school. Honing ather families will stand by in this plea, I await action. CITIZEN. Norwich, Sept. 6, 1922, Should Comsider Safety. Mr. Editor: Being & citizen of the West Side and having children who are about to start school. 1 take the lberty to ask our worthy board of education why all the five-year-old children from West Main, Pearl, Fairmount, Ann, Coly and Asymum streets and all around that nelghborhood have to go to Elizabeth street school while the Pearl street school is kept for grown up chfdren. Don't you think it would be more praes tical and safe for those little ones wha are so near Pearl street school to go there instead of way up to the Eliza-| beth street school? You know well that the trafic is large and children of five years have little conception of danger. We have had a good many accidents in that fooay{ tion and I hope that you will try vyour best to change these and have the lit- tle ‘ones that live near Pear! wtreet school go there and the others go to the Elizabeth street school. = As you look out for their pducation you should alse look out for their safety and comfort.

The death of the uricle left young Mas- cagnl in financial difficulties and he joined a traveling opera company. In 1886, after many vicissitudes, he mar- ried and settled down, and deveted him- self to the teaching of music. About the same time he began work on the opera “Cavalleria Rusticana,” which was giv- en its first performance May 17, 1880. Its success was immediate, and in a day Mascagni became famous.
