John Hancock Father

UPON the Declaration of Independence his name may be read without spectacles. His signature was the first sub scribed to the worlds most famous State document. In the most realistic sense John Hancock pledged his life and! his fortune to the cause of the Revolution. He was one of the richest men in the colonies, holding investments r. banks, breweries, stores, hotels, and also owning a fleet of vessels. The seizure of one of these precipitated the Boston massacre. In Revolutionary days and until his death he was a popular idol. When it was proposed to bombard Boston, though it would have resulted in greater personal loss to him than to any other property owner, he begged that no regard be paid to him because of his financial interests. While Hancock did not sign the-Gonstitution of the United Stateshe used his great influence in its behalf, which awakened the gratitude of X&shington."He was prepossessing in manner, and passionately fond of the elegant pleasures of life, of dancing, music concerts, routs, assemblies, card parties, rich wines, social dinners and festivities? Until the end of his life the people of Massachusetts delighted to honor him. In the stirring events preceding the Revolution he was one of the most active and influential members of the Sons of Liberty. To this tireless worker for American Independence Liberty was the very breath of life. He would have frowned upon any legislation which would restrict the natural rights of man, and would have voted NO to prohibition enactments. It was upon die tenets of our National Spoken Xford that Anheuser-Busch 58 years ago founded their great institution. To-day throughout the length and breadth of the Free Republic their honest brews are famed for quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor. Their brand BUDWEISER has daily grown in popularity until 7500 people are daily required to meet the public demand. Its sales exceed any other beer by millions of bottles. ANHEUSERrBUSCH ST.

"PINCH HIT" JUDGE LETS CULPRIT TAKE PLEDGE TO OBJURE LIQUOR

A newspaper man was called upon today to "pinch hit", for Mayor Robbins, now in Indianapolis, as the presiding Justice of the city court. One sorry victim was haled into his presence to answer to a charge of public Intoxication, said victim, who gave his name as George Blitt, residence in Cincinnati, taking the pledge, aided and abetted by the judge pro tem. This was the first time this ceremony had been performed in open court. The newspaper man possessed a very hazy knowledge of the pledge ceremony, but Prosecutor Reller was courteous enough to declare that the oath was administered in an exceedingly binding if not letter correct form. Blitt having sworn to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors during the course of his natural life was dismissed on his own recognizance, to appear tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock in the event the state desires to prosecute the case against him. Prosecutor Reller requested this action on the ground that all the DISCUSS FORMATION OF LEAGUE OF PEACE TO CHECK WARFARE Prominent Men Gather at Philadelphia in Ernest Effort to Find Solution for War Problems. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 17. Prominent Americans from many cities met here in Independence Hall today to discuss the formation of a League of Peace or a League of Nations. The conference was called by a committee of one hundred, including governors of states, college presidents, financiers, diplomatists and other eminent men. Ex-President William H. Taft is the leading spirit in bringing about the meeting. The conference has the unofficial indorsement of President Wilson. The conference discussed among others the proposal that the signatory powers to a new world of peace league treaty shall jointly use military forces to prevent any one of theim number from going to war, or committing acta of hostility against another signatory until the question at issue has been submitted for arbitration. The proposals were drawn up by Mr. Taft, who presided at today's meeting. The conference had its origin at a series of meetings held at the Century club in New York City on January 25 and 31, March 30 and April 9. The proposals are regarded as vastly more important and ambitious than anything that has been undertaken heretofore by advocates of international peace. Certain of the ideas endorsed by Viscount Bryce are included and President Wilson, it is understood, was consulted. For diplomatic reasons, however, the administration will not be represented at the conference. Barrooms are closed on Saturdays in Sweden because it is payday, and the savings banks are open until midnight.

He impressed me as a thoroughly sincere and honorable man," the judge pro tem remarked reprovingly to certain police officers who insinuated that Blitt would "beat it" while the "beating was good." Blitt explained to the emergency court that he had come to Richmond in search of a job and, feeling ill, had taken a drink, the first one in seven years. "Do you realize that booze is your worst enemy?" remarked the emergency court. "I do, Your Honor," Blitt replied, tears welling into his expressive eyes, "and I would like to take the pledge." Standing with his right hand above his head Blitt swore: "I promise never to touch another drop of intoxicating liquor the remainder of my natural life." He then made a hurried departure.

SUBURBAN DAY ATTRACTS MANY TO CITTSTORES So successful was the first suburban trading day-in Richmond, yesterday, that local merchants have decided to make it a permanent feature and from now on Wednesday of each week will be suburban day. Hundreds of out of town people were attracted to Richmond yesterday, some coming from points as far distant from Richmond as New Castle. Attractive bargains were offered by the various merchaHts who co-operated with The Palladium in promoting the venture, and the shoppers were as pleased with the bargains they secured as the merchants were with the exceptionally heavy mid week patronage. Suburban day was the first co-operative plan undertaken by local merchants in many months and it was an eloquent lesson to them of the benefits to be obtained by united action in promoting business. This they all admit. Comments of Merchants. The following were comments made by several business men today on the result of Richmond's first suburban trading day: David Teeple of the Teeple Shoe company: "We were busy all day and could have UBed two or three additional clerks. The venture was a very satisfactory success." Walter Leifheit of the Walk Over Shoe company: "We were more than pleased with the result of suburban day." Charles Druitt of the Druitt Brothers Furniture company: "We believe the suburban day plan is going to be a great success. We did a very good business, even selling a truck load of furniture to New Castle patrons." Charles Igleman of the Nusbaum Dry Goods company: "Suburban day was proved to be a good co-operative plan to increase business. We enjoyed the largest mid-week patronage in many months." Frank Haner of the Knollenberg Dry Goods company: "It was surprising to see the number of out of town people who came to the city yesterday to do their shopping. This is more remarkable when you consider the fact that these are very busy days on the farms."

that is. to the putting of self before service of the Creator. "The violation of the " commandments by" nations is not always but usually due to selfishness the putting of supposed material advantages before obedience to the divine law. "If I have made it clear that the doctrine that might makes right, is most common cause of war, we may pass to the consideration of a maxim quite sure to be applied in war, namely, that like cures like,' the theory on which retaliation rests. "Retaliation is rivalry in wrong doinga neck and neck race toward the bottomless pit. And yet there are many believers in the gospel of force who have brought themselves to think that cruelty could be cured by greater cruelty. "But might must find a pretext for arming itself and what is the pretext? There was a time when men openly advocated war as a thing to be" desired; commended it to each generation as a sort of tonic to tone up the moral system and prevent degeneracy, but we have passed that day. Provokes War. "Instead of preventing war preparedness provokes war, because it is impossible to coerce the people into bearing the burdens incident to increasing the continuous preparation, without cultivating hatred as If it were a national virtue. There must be some one to fear; some other preparing nation that must be represented as plotting for war. "How can preparedness prevent war if all prepare? Each step taken by one nation toward more complete preparedness excites the other nations to additional purchases and new levies until all have exhausted their productive industries and menaced their moral progress. "If any nation is without excuse for entering into a mad rivalry with the belligerent nations in preparation for war it is the United States. We are protected on each side by thousands of miles of ocean and this possession is worth more to us than any number of battleships. We have an additional protection in the fact, known to everyone, that we have the men with whom to form an army of defense if we are ever attacked and it is known also that we have the money, too, more money than we ever would have had if all the surplus earnings of the people had been invested in armament. We not only do not need additional preparation but we are fortunate in not having it since it seems impossible for a nation to have what is called preparedness without having along with it a disposition to use its preparedness on the slightest provocation. "Happy for our nation that we have in the White House at this time a president who believes in setting the whole world a good example, instead of following the bad example which it sets in this matter. What an unspeaka

ble misfortune it would have been if, in such an hour as this, the nation had been under the leadership of a president inflamed by the false philosophy which has plunged Europe into the abyss of war." Chas. E. Werklng Architect and Building Superintendent. Room 2. Palladium Bldg.
