The moon was shining; it was a romantic time. “Winch will you have,” Percy said, “a single or double geranium?” Said Miss Maude: “A double one by all means. I do' hate anything single. ^ ’ Percy may be dumb, but he took the hint—he popped the question. WASHINGTON Washington w'as not an embodiment of all human excellence and a paragon of shining virtue; but these would be journalistic historians, who aim to shatter ideals about Washington under the pretense of showing his development from a sickly middle class ignoramous, to a magnanimous statesman, should be discriminating enough to reject those devicies with which they are endeavoring, un successfully, to besmirch his good name. One recognizes, in Washington, a modest gentleman of Virginia, owner of broad acres and a great number of slaves, an agriculturist engaged in the business of gi'owing tobacco and produce under a plantation system. His position called for a man of varied talents. As master of Mount Vernon he had need, of executive ability and foresight, as his decisions involved many scores of slaves and hun dreds of acres of land, crops to be planted and the methods of tillage, the purchase of goods for his slave and the disposition of the planta tion products in local and foreign markets. He served Virginia as a soldier and stateman. He cherished the continental rather than the provincial point of view and with this attitude he became the father of his country. He mingled freely with his fellow planters in the fox chase or at the card table. He married a wealthy widow and looked after the two step-children with a great deal of care. No enthusiastic admirer should exalt the saint and forget the man. But, because of his military attainments, his statesmanship, his broadmindedness, his executive abilities and his foresight, he is worthy of, and deserves, our recognition and plaudits. -E C— THOUGHTLESS STUDENTS To those who insist on emptying the fire- extinguishers, destroy ing the electrical system in the basement and committing other similar depreciations, we wonder if the fact is known to you that after the dormitories are repaired, any surplus that may be left over from the breakage fee is returned to the students. If one student breaks more than $5.00 worth of equipment, every other student helps tQ pay for his act. Be a good sport; play fair with your college, vour fellow students, and yourself. —E C— NOTICE! ‘ALUMNI VOICE” MAKES ITS FIRST APPEABANCE An article, entitled, “Our Trustees,”] written by Miss Nellie White, appeared j in the editorial column of the Sopho more’s issue of the Maroon and Gold, under my name. I wish to correct this Elon College Alumni have begun pub lishing their magaziue, “The Alumni Voice.” This magazine is published error which was merely a mistake on ' four times each year. The Alumni have my part. C. C. F. Jim Brown was sick recently, so sick that he began to consider the taking of his demise. ‘‘Flossie, dear,” he said, if I should die would you visit my grave often?’^ “Why surely,” Flossy said, bring my husband with me.” (Continued from n ‘and Whitley: They had good athletics for six years at the high school I came from. Hamrick: They had good athletics for four years at the high, school from wliieh I came—while I was there. The fistic bout between Battling Eakestraw and “Hit and Miss” Hil liard was a great sensation. Both show ed qualities that bid fair to cop the laurels that now rest on the head of Gene Tunney. A smart freshman pulled a go'od one on Dean Hook the other day on Physics class. ‘In W'liat manner/’ said the fresh man, “am I and a bucket in a well alike?” Dean Hook: I don’t know unless it is because you both have to* be dragged to your duty by some one else. Freshman: No, sir. It is because we are both worked by cranks. Dorsey Woodleaf, and a number of last year’s reserve material. H. T. Efird.

Mrs. Johnson, of Chi cago, delivered the message of the morning, choosing as her subject, “The Greatest Power in the World.In her discourse she showed us wherein she did not consider electricity the greatest power. She mentioned other powerful things and stated that they .were not the most powerful. Having led to this climax, she declared that the Power of the Blood of Jesus Christ is the greatest in the world. This was the theme on which she spo'ke. The^ main reason for Mrs. Johnson’s belief that the Blood of Jesus Christ is the most powerful thing in the world is its ability to redeem us from the vanity of self. Every person is an ogo. as she so vividly illustrated to us. Mrs. Johnson is the wife o'f Mr. John son of Chicago, whose company is establishing the great rayon plant in Burlington. She is devoting her talent and time and much of her means to the uplift of the slum sections of our large cities and is frequently heard in radio addresses from the Chicago staticm. We are always glad to welcome such a per- son as Mrs. Johnson and to listen to such a message as she brought us. We also feel indebted to Mr. Harden for his assistance in securing the speaker for us.
