CORRECTION In an article published last week concerning city affairs a mistake was made in copying figures. The article as published read: "We have paid $15,330.73 to date and mil pay off another $200 at the April meeting." It should have read, "we will pay off another $2,000 at the April meeting." It seems that the accuracy of the figures mentioned in the statement published last week has been questioned and that a whispering cam paign has been started. The records of the city clerk, city treasurer and city collector speak for themselves and any statement made or published cannot change the fact that the city will owe about $17,i830.73 less on May 1st than it did when the present administration went into office two years ago. In fact the present adminstraction does not care what is said or frablished if the truth is told. I would suggest that anyone disputing any statement should answer through the columns of this paper.

Friend of Washington ^ ^ One of the significant dates in the month of March is the birthday of James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution." Madison was born on March 16, 1751 at Port Conway, Virginia, and the 180th anniversary of his birth is commemorated in a statement from the Division of Information and Publication of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission. "Unlike the military services of Washington and his army officers, Madison's contribution to the establishment of the United States was spectacular in no respect. He was essentially a statesman and in the field of government and politics he had few superiors. In this spherejiis services have proved to be of everlasting benefit to this country. At the University of New Jersey, now Princeton, Madison demonstrated a prodigious capacity for work and he was graduated at an early age. He was deeply interested in history and religion, and his studies along these lines formed a broad basis for the sound judgment which characterized his participation in public life. Madison's first venture in politics came with his election to the legislature of his own state. Here he revealed the results of his previous study. He evinced a pronounced antagonism toward any kind of religiou3 intolerance and advocated the absolute separation of church and state. When a bill was introduced providing that "all men should enjoy the fullest toleration in the exercise of religion," Madison so effectively Opposed it that the clause was changed to read, "all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion." As a member of the Continental Congress in 1780, Madison strongly advocated the establishment of an impost law as part of a Federal tax system. No one Realized better than he the need of a strong central government. He recognized that the weakness of the Confederation lay in its inability to raise money, and ha was among the foremost to urge the adoption of efficient revenue measures. He opposed the issuance of paper money and his masterly reasoning against the evil was responsible for Virginia's aseape from the craze which swept the country In 1786. The Annapolis Convention which resulted later in the Constitutional Convention in 1787, was Madison's proposal. Of all the delegates to the latter, Madison was perhaps the best informed. He had made an exhaustive study of )the history of confederacies and federal unions, and he was ready with hi£ own suggestions which was known as the Virginia Plan. This was adopted as the basis of the Federal Government which was outlined in the Constitution. When the Constitution #as ready, Madison worked with Hamilton a°d Jay in the preparation of the series of pamphlets called "The Federalist." These brochures were written to overfcome the prejudice against the Constitution and to sccure its adoption by the states. In Virginia, this great instrument was vigorously opposed by Henry Lee iind Patrick Henry, but Madison argued so strongly in favor of it that he secured the Old Dominion's ratification. Madison Vras defeated in his bid for the Senate largely because of the efforts of Henry. He was, however, elected to the House where he offered twelve amendments to the Constitution embodying the salient points of a bill of rights. The first ten of these amendments were adopted in 1791. Madison left the House of Representatives and retired from public life at the close of Washington's second administration. Retirement* in the strictest sense, however, was : possible for him, and he attacked administration's neutrality in the between France and England. Tb* Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798 led to the fall of the Federalist party and brought about the election of Jefferson to the Presidency. Madison W be^n Jeffeisoii's friend for years, aad now he accepted the portfolio of Secretary of State. After serving in complete harmony with Jefferson, Madison, as the logk&l successor to the Sage of Monticello^ was elected to the Presidency. Madison's career was one of^illaa*- trious service to his country, and" ^ Americans everywhere may well recall his contribution to the United ' su*** ^ ;; So highly was the balsam shrub -- * teemed by the ancients that it borne as a special trophy in the umphal procession at Rome which ebrated the conquest of Canaantf H SPECIALS SATURDAY KERBER'S LARD 21bs. for 23^ 50 lb. tin $5.50 PICNIC HAVg 15* lb.
