VIRGINIA TO CELEBRATE
During June two significant events in the
history of the United States will be cele
brated at Williamsburg, Va., in honor of
their 150th anniversary.
On June 15, 1776, the Virginia Bill of
Rights, written by George Mason, was
adopted. On June 29 of the same year the
first republican constitution of Virginia
was proclaimed, with Patrick Henry as gov
ernor.
Thus Virginia had declared her freedom
from British rule and set up her own gov
ernment five days before the Declaration of
Independence of the United Colonies was
adopted.
The Virginia Bill of Rights has been call
ed the Magna Charta of America, for it be
came the model fro mwhich the other states
have framed their like declarations.
For some months past 150th anniversar
ies of memorable dates of the Revolutionary
war have been occurring and July 4th will
mark a century and a half of American in
dependence. It is well that we should pause
occasionally and reflect upon the signifi
cance of these historic events and the deeds
of those heroic founders of the Republic, to
whose wisdom and patriotic devotion we
owe so much.
A MOVIE SWINDLE
Officers and men of the Great Guard sta
tioned along the North Carolina coast have
been swindled out of $30,000 or more by two
clever alleged moving picture promoters, ac
cording to the Elizabeth City Independent.
The scheme worked by the swindlers con
sisted of selling stock in a moving picture
intended to show the activities of the Coast
Guard in saving life and property from
wrecked vessels, and illustrating the cour
age and skill of the brave guardsmen. Offi
cers were expected to take stock to the
amount of $500, while enlisted men were to
take $100 worth each. All were assured that
their investments would be returned in
about six months, and that later profits on
the picture would yield them about 400 per
cent.
Most of the members of the Coast Guard
who were approached are said to have con
tributed to the plan, but after nearly two
years, no returns have been forthcoming.
This is just one more illustration of the
case with which slick schemers are able to
separate otherwise intelligent people from
their money. Unfortunately, all the warn
ings which may be broadcasted seem inef
fective, when pitted against the smooth talk
of a swindling promoter.
Recent visitors to the North Pole confirm
Peary’s statement that the top of the world
is a sea of ice, with no land near, therefore
it is technically upon the high seas, subject
to the claims of no nation. One more possi
ble cause of war is thus eliminated.
A man who is clever enough to be boss at
home is also wise enough not to brag about
it.
General Butler seems to be almost as pop
ular in San Diego as he was in Philadelphia.
