From Federal Hall, Washington went
to the neighboring St. Paul’s church to
attend divine service?. Artillery roar
ed and bells rang throughout the af
ternoon and evening. At dusk bon
fires and fireworks lighted up the
streets and gala balls were held, which
continued into the following May day.
Today on the steps of the United
States Sub-Treasury building, the ex
act spot where Washington stood
when he took the oath of office, stands
his bronze statue, whose legs have
been worn shinny by the urchins of
Wall street who have tried to climb
up to touch the bronze hand of the
father of the country. The paint to
day is called the monetary nerve cen
ter of the country. The trees which
shaded the narrow thoroughfare in
Washington’s day have all gone, and
all about are buildings whose stony
monotony towers several hundred feet
above the scene. The land where
Washington stood sold at $2.75 a
square foot at that time; today it is
valued at $600 a square foot, and is
one of the* most valuable tracts in the
world. The buildings about it are
said to represent a real vaule of $300,<

the money in the United States,.

CHARGE O’SHAUGHNESSY.
Nelson O’Shaughnessy clung to his undesirable position in the
city of Mexico in charge of the affairs of the United States until
Mr. Huerta informed him that he was persona non grata and hand
ed him his passports, which was a polite hint that his presence is
no longer desired.
Until he assumed the responsibilities of charge d’affairs in
Mexico a few months ago, G’Shaughnessy was more famed for his
appreciation of the social amenities ana his tact than for any pecu
liar diplomatic ability. As a matter of fact, he never had much
experience as a diplomatic agent, as his duties at the various lega
tions and embassies to which he has been attached since he entered
the diplomatic service in 1904 have been more strictly social than
otherwise.
There is one thing which can be said about O’Shaughnessy,
however, on tho word of his superiors, which is that he has risen
to the occasion that was thrust upon him by the recall of Ambas
sador Henry Lane Wilson, and has carried himself through a dif
ficult situation with the utmost tact and without making a single
personal enemy.
In speaking of O’Shaughnessy, his friends naturally speak of
his wife, too. Mrs. O’Shaughnessy is a remarkably handsome
woman, with the social instinct just as strongly developed as it
is in her husband, and, moreover, she is a woman of great force
of character. Everyone says that she has been of great assistance
to him in his diplomatic career.
O’Shaughnessy was born in New York 37 years ago. He was
educated by private tutors and at Georgetown University in
Washington and at Oxford University in England. He studied
international law in London and languages in various European
countries. He was appointed secretary to the legation at Copen
hagen in 1904, and was made third secretary at the embassy at
Berlin in the following year. In 1907 he was transferred to Vienna
as second secretary of the embassy, and in 1911 was sent to Mexico
also, as second secretary.
It is not generally known, but O’Shaughnessy did not like
Mexico. He much preferred the capitals of Europe, and he has
several times applied for a transfer, but, of course, when Ambassa
dor Henry Lane Wilson was withdrawn and O’Shaughnessy was
placed in charge he gave up all thought of going back to Europe
and settled down to make the best of a bad situation.
Like most of the younger men in the diplomatic corps.
O’Shaughnessy has at times felt the strain upon his purse to keep
up with the procession, and at the time of his transfer from Vienna
to Mexico City he received a good deal of unenviable publicity
through the publication of certain unpaid accounts with tailors and
other tradesmen in the Austrial capital. The tailor’s bill, which
included numerous fancy silk waistcoats and an innumerable num
ber of pairs of trousers, was sent to the state department for col
lection and thus gained wide circulation. It is understood that he
settled in full with his creditors.
JUDGE DANIEL BEING URGED
Friends of Judge Robert T. Daniel,
judge of the Flint circuit, throughout
his circuit have been advocating him
for governor. The fact that he re
fused to consider running if Governor
Slaton offered for re-election has re
vived the interest of his friends in his
candidacy.
Judge Daniel has been the presiding
judge of the Flint circuit four years,
and during his term on the bench has
won the esteem and confidence of his
fellow citizens. If he decides to make
the race, the entire Flint circuit will | \

vote.
Judge Daniel is very popular over
the state, and is one of the best known
secret order men in the public eye to
day.
THE HEART OF THE ELK
There seems to be a popular opinion that the Elks are merely
bunch of convivial fellows whose sole aim in life is in the pur-
S^Ruit of n "good time." However, there are those who have reason
P^to know and appreciate thoroughly and deeply that the heart of
the Elk swells with the milk of human kindness. The Elks do
not parade their virtues, which are “written upon the tablets of
love and memory," and their untold acts of kindness are held in
grateful remembrance by the thousands to whom these have
been extended.
An incident has just come to light which gives some idea of
the tender sympathy of all Elks everywhere. A prominent mem
ber of the Athens Lodge of Elks has a daughter who became very
ill while on a visit in a distant city, in a section where the people
are generally held “cold” by the warm-hearted people of the
south. As soon as the illness of this young lady became known
b telegram of sympathy was sent her. In addition to this, the
secretary of the lodge in the city where the young lady was ill
was notified of the fact. Immediately, accompanied by a com
mittee, the secretary called at the dwelling where the young lady
lay HI, taking with him a splendid floral offering of American
Beauty roses, together with the earnest sympathy of the lodge.
Needless to say, their presence and the good cheer brought
with them brightened the sick room and did mueh towards has
tening Iher recovery. When she was well enough to leave for
home the’committee called with a limousine and carried her to
the depot and bid her bon voyage to her southern home.

« WRITES LINES.
A typical instance of the south's awakening to equal suffrage is the
sudden growth of the movement at Newcomb College, Tulane University of
Louisiana in New Lfrieans. A suffrage club of tlfteen members was formed
there last February, and already It has grown to forty. When Jane Addums
was in the south this spring she spoke at Tulane, and her address aroused
enthusiasm.
At uiie meeting of the club Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart, who was the
guest of honor, made her first suffrage speech, and wrote the following lines
in a copy of her book to be auctioned:
“Ef Sis’ Hen could lay and set and hatch,
’Thout being bleeged to forage and scratch,
She wouldn’t wink and chuckle so
To hear B’rer Rooster strut and crow;
And she ain't by herself in that, in that,
No, she ain't by herself in that.”
When the old high school building of Madison, Wis, had become rickety
and a fire trap, the question of appropriating money to build a new one was
put to vote. Wisconsin women have school suffrage. One the vote of the
men alone, the new building would have been defeated; on a vote of the men
and women taken together, it was carried. The same thing has happened in
Illinois, New York and many other states. In Nebraska, the state superin
tendent of education says it has happened in casc3 “too numerous to men
tion.”

No difference between men and women with respect to the dtsire for the
ballot is demonstrated by the fact that only one woman in ten has actually
petitioned for it, nor ia there any conclusive evidence that the proportion of
men who desire to vote is very much greater than the proportion of women.
Certainly there was no greater demand for the suffrage on the part of unen
franchised men a hundred years ago than there is on the part of unenfran
chised women today. Women who do not want to vote, if enfranchised, will
not be under any greater obligation to do so than are men who do rot want
to vote. The indifference of a portion of the women is no more reason for
withholding the franchise from the rest than is the indifference of a portion
of the men a reason for disfranchising all males. Womsn will have to
decide for themselvu whether or not they wish to vote. The duty of mtn
is simply to see to it that those women who do wish to vote secure the op
portunity without undue toil and trouble.
