In the schools teachers used it as a lesson in patriotism—a lesson whith the pupils .loved to learn. ‘On this afternoon at his office in the City | Dewey statue was discussed and the Hall. Mayor Phelan is enthusiastic the proposition, and he knows the ne- cessity of acting in such a matter on the instant. He realized that with such short noti lected to act upon the comittee would wve previously arranged to spend Sat- urday out of ‘town, but he believed it would be best to hold the initial meet- ing at once, even though there some absentees, and get the matter fully under way. His wisdom is shown by a canvass of the gentlemen. for all hut three were communicated with last svening, and of the fifteen only four or five found it impossible to be in at- tendance. s in full sympathy with the move- ment and will be glad to serve on the committee and work for the success of the enterprise. Although the Mayor only gave the matter twenty-four hours’ considera- tion, he could not have been more for- tunate in his selection of committee- men had he taken it under advisement for a week. All are of the high- est standing in the city and State; men of wealth who will aid the cause liberally; of culture, who will take pride in the plan and“will see to it that the monument is a work of art worthy of the city nad State and of the man, and of such energy that once starting in, they will carry the project to rapid completion. To hear the gentlemen selected talk one would almost believe that their task was already accomplished. There was never a doubt as to the ultimate success of their undertaking, and all were eager to begin the work without an instant’s delay. There will be no lagging when once they get together and map out a plan of action. Not once has the question of funds | | been raised. There is not a particle of anxiety on that score.

The Dewey monument will be erected because there has never been a move- ment of the description that ha: pealed so forcibly to every Americ citizen as does this.

When his country needed his services, both as a fighter and a diplomat, he was ready and served with distinction in both capacities. Although his ships were on the opposite side of the Pacific, the victories he gained were of vital interest to the people of California. or captured the only Spanish ships which could attack this coast.
