ELLIOTT STICKS IN WASHINGTON ; DURING PRIMARY . 1 '"

Leaves the Whole Issue to

People Confident of Their Support. The following letter was received today: Palladium Printing Co., Richmond, lad. Gentlemen: I have Just read an editorial which appeared in The Palladium ot March 20, regarding roy candidacy and I assure you I thoroughly appreciate what yon had to say about me. These are perilous times and the affairs of the nation are In such a condition that it Is incumbent on ev. ery member ot Congress, to give constant attention to the business ot his office. I am not coming back to the district to light Mr. Williams. I feel that X can safely leave my case to the people. If they do not think enough of me or my services to renominate me without my returning to the district, they would not think enough of me to renominate me In the event I did return. Being a member of congress at this time when one is compelled- to be in Washington about ten months of the year and has to submit to the heavy burden of living expenses entailed by reason of the badly congested conditions of the capital, it would make, it hard If ona was compelled to spend a lot of money conducting any more, political campaigns than are absolutely necessary. Pouodstone and I are busy sixteen hours every day lo6kin after the business affairs of the district. The average person haa no Idea whatever ot the vast amount ot work that is intrusted to a congressman and his secretary by reason of this war. It is about one whole days work each day for one man to look after the complaints received from soldiers and members of their families in regard to war risk insurance matters, pay allotments and family allowances pending before the Bureau of War Risk In- . surance. This work Is becoming so heavy that it may require congressmen to empldy additional clerks to look after this business aloue. It seems that the Bureau has not yet listed about half of the applications for insurance, etc., which have been filed with it. I have worked hard during the time I have been here to acquaint myself with this job and I am just beginning to know where to place my hands on the various officials I have to talk to when business questions come up between the government and my constituent j. If a new congressman came into this office March 4, 19X9, he would be l'ke a ship without a rudder bq far as looking after the complicated affairs of the office are concernedIt would take hftn at least a year to familiarize himself, with all the details. Thanking you again for yoour kindness in my behalf, I remain. Very truly yours, R. N. ELLIOTT.

Teacher Treats Scholars of Boston School With Whiskey; John J. Conley, 96 Years Old, Relates Early Experiences

Some early reminiscences of Richmond ara contained In a letter received from John J. Conley. Sr., of this city, who has been spending some time in CWpley. Fla. Mr. Conley is 9 years old, and was one of the pioneer residents of Wayne county. The- following account of his experiences during his early residence here was dictated from memory to Mrs. Sarah A. Pleas of WhltUer, Cal, who is also a former Richmond resident. "The school bouse at Boston, a few miles south of Richmond, was made of round logs, tM logs touching overhead, then daubed with mud before the clapboards were put on and weighted down, with, poles. Benches Made of Logs. "The chimney was built on the ground, right In the center, with no floor, and with a door In one corner. A log was cut out on sides the whole length of the building, except a short piece at the corner to hold It up. Benches for seats with no backs, were slpit of ash, made of split logs, and legs put in auger holes, "There was about half a foot of snow on Christmas mom. and tho young folks gathered to see the. fun. They barred the door to keep the teacher out until he would treat. When he came in he was angry. My uncle lived about a hundred yards away. He was a blacksmith. My teacher went and borrowed his rifle and punched out a hole and shot powder inside, burning a hole in one boy's vest. Tries Another Method, "He could not conquer . them that way, so he took the guo home and borrowed aq ax and cut a Club, and while ha was gone the boys took off enough boards to get out. so they could handle him. He threw his club In first, then jumped through the hole, and when he struck the ground he shouted. "Hurrah for old Kentuck.' " That was no sooner said than they were onto him and were angry enough to bum him. They started with him to a logheap, and when they swung him up to throw him into the fire, he said, "I'll treat," and In a week he treated them to a gallon of whiskey. The next teacher treated with seedling apples and a gallon of whiskey, I was then but a little chap, and don't remember whether I got any. An Old Tlma Preacher. "Adrian Arden, United Presbyterian, old and white-headed, preached on

Pearl etreet, Richmond. Ha was sharp but he did not take his text from, the Bible, preaching on temperance, sjavery and Sabbath breaking. Uncle Jerry Meek was a Democrat, and did not lika his talk, and when ha passed out of the gata he squaked out, "I ain't gain' to pay no preach for preachin' politics," when not word had been said about nolitles. "They had quilting bees, and asked all the women and girls In to help quilt, and thj boys would tear down all the old fences and build new ones. Then they would have dinner and supper, and finish up with a play or a dance. Mrs. Meek's son-in-law, Jacob Fisher kept tavern and had dancing school in their hall. Go to Presbytery. Old Jerry Meek's father, Jacob, lived near. Peter Melander. the preacher, said they had to go to Presbytery on horseback when taverns were every five to six miles, and took turns treating at every tavern with whiskey only, and by the time they reached there they wera full Of tha spirit, whether they wera In the spirit or not. They wera all Methodists, and had preaching about once a month, and' people sat on logs about the church and told yarns until the preacher arrived- The roads wera bad. which often caused them to have to wait for a long time. Tells About Joe Cannon. A story which accompanies the reminiscences of Mr. Contey. was written by Mrs. Plea, herself of an advanced age. end tells ot an experience In which "Uncle" Joe Cannon, former speaker of the house of representatives, is the leading figure. The anecdote follows: After our boarding aehool days with 'the Btg Gun." (Joes elder brother) whose paterfamilias was a prominent M, p.. who wishing this son to follow In his own footsteps, sent out the younger brother Joe cn horseback to conver: his mount Into ready cash to facilitate matters. Arriving at Richmond, 100 miles distant, where we wera then doing business, a stranger with no experience, he was making little headway, when we were glad to buy his horse and send htm oft rejoicing. "Wo met next very unexpectedly when our entire family, parents, brothers, sisters. Jack and bis dog. horses, cattla and wagon with Joo Cannon's roan horse, beaded for the far west, to grow up. "A downpour of rain, rendering the

near stream a raging current, impossible to cross, we naturally looked up and claimed . the acquaintance ot tho Cannons, meeting a hearty welcome. We were having a pleasant time under the circumstances, when the father of the family received an urgent call from across the river, which had the 'danger signal displayed. "Undtinnted, the doctor hastened In response to the call, and was brought back a short time later, drowned. "Wje left the house of mourning with sad farewells, and have never met any of the family since, but we have taken a justifiable pride In reading in the newspapers the suecessful career of Joe Cannon as speaker of the house." .

ITTERJS is an important announcement, not only to mmmm the woman who har keen style judgment, but to one who is not afraid of the straight truth about garment values. Today, in one of the very best stores in town, there is a special exhibit of Wooltex Tailored Coats and Suits. This is not merely an offering of Spring styles, but is intended to bring to an issue the whole question of: "What does a woman really get for her clothes money?" You have read about the scarcity of wool, the difficulty in getting skilled tailors in war time, the critical dye situation. And, knowing these things are so, you have been willing to pay a fair advance in price. But it is not these things that destroy real garment value half so much as certain hidden abuses right in the garment trade abuses that too few women have even had a hint of. Take, for instance, the fact that nearly two-thirds of all medium-priced Coats and Suits are cut and sewed by untrained and obscure needle-workers in the unhealthy slums of the great cities. No standards of tailoring or fabrics are, or can be, preserved.

ARDSLEV-7V suit has the smart new ripple jacket, an instance of Wooltex clever designing. The exquisite finish can hardly be suggested in the picture. Comes in Imperial sergeblack, navy, infantry, tan or rookie with chic white pique over-collar. See this stunning modeL No. 4495. t'

Thousands of these ignorant workers are held to their sweatshop tasks by so-called "manufacturers." Garments made under such deplorable conditions need much pressing and stretching before they are presentable even for first appearance. You may be buying these slum-made garments without knowing it at the time -many a supposedly reputable 6tore will sell them to you u they can. How can a woman avoid such garments? Where is she to go for her Spring clothes? We can tell you of one store in this city which has now on display Coats and Suits that are designed by America's foremost fashion artists and are tailored exquisitely of all-wool fabrics in the happy, sun-lit factories of The H.j Black Company, of Cleveland. . Every one of these choice garments bears the Wooltex Label and as a thorough guarantee of pure wool fabrics, unbeatable tailoring done under ideal working conditionsand as proof of the Wooltex Tailors' direct responsibility for your satisfaction. The Store That Sells Wooltex in this city is: LEE B. NUSBAUM CO.
