MS eoM Stows, n r Osr | UNCOMMON AMERICANS By Elmo Scott Watson • Waste ra Nowspapor Unloe “Hot Water War” Leader •‘CHAY’S REBELUON” and the ^ "Whiskey Rebellion” are the outstanding examples of minor "wars” which soipehow manage to get into our school histories. But most of them overlook the "Hot Water War*' and its leader, John Fries. Yet he was a very important figure in the early history of our nation and more particularly in 1798 when we were about to go to war with France. In order to raise money for an army to fight this war, if it came, congress enacted a direct tax law. known as the "house tax,*’—20 cents per $100 on houses valued at $200 to $500 and 30 cents on houses val ued at $500 to $1,000 The value of the houses was determined by counting the number of windows and measuring them. In Pennsylvania especially was there resentment against this tax. When assessors went around to measure the windows on houses, the women threw open these win dows and poured scalding water on the officials, hence the name "Hot Water War." It was also called “Fries Rebel lion'* because the leader of resist ance to collection of the tax was John Fries, a veteran of the Revo lution (who had also helped sup press the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania!) He was a traveling auctioneer and this occupation gave him a good opportunity to harangue the people and urge them to resist collection of the house tax. More than that, he raised a force of armed men who chased assessors from township to township, forcibly released prisoners, who had been put in jail for resisting the tax col lectors, and in general kept the eastern part of the state in an up roar. Finally President Adams called on the governor of Pennsylvania to call out militia to suppress the riot ers. Fries was captured and taken to Philadelphia to be tried for trea son. His attorneys insisted that he was answerable only to a charge of rioting, but a federal jury found him guilty of treason and he was sen tenced to be hanged. Then Benja min Franklin Bache, editor of the Aurora, a Republican (Democratic) paper, and bitter critic of the ad ministration, took up Fries' case He raised such a fearful row about it that it became a national issue At last. President Adams was led to pardon Fries and after that the leader of the short-lived "Hot Wa ter War" dropped out of sight and is lost to history. The First “Muckraker” rARLY one morning in the late 1820s a comedy was enacted on the banks of the Potomac river near Washington which is without paral lel in American history. Enter the first character: a swimmer, sans bathing suit or any other raiment. He is no less a person than the President of the United States, for it was the custom of John Quincy Adams to go for an early-morning swim in that historic stream. Enter now the second character: an old woman, poorly dressed, cur rying a huge umbrella, an mkhorn and quill pen and some paper. She marches out to where the sw ; m- mcr's clothes lie on the bank nnd sits down beside them. The swim mer sees her, hastily sits down in the water until only his head is visi ble. "Go away! Go aw«»yl’’ he shouts. "Not until you answer some ques tions, sir!" the woman replies. John Quincy Adams rages. He threatens. He pleads. But it’s no use. The woman not only refuses to budge but she makes him come closer to the bank so that she can hear more plainly what he has to say. And thus Anne Royall, edi tor of the Huntress (appropriate name, that!) and "Grandma of the Muckrakers” forced Adams to ex plain to her his national bank pol icy, then the most important pub lic question of the day. It was one of the first Presidential interviews and undoubtedly the most unusual one ever given. But that was characteristic of Anne Royall. Left a poor widow when her husband, a Revolution ary war veteran died, Anne Royall went to Washington to claim a wid ow’s pension. While waiting to col lect it, she bought an old printing press, hired a printer and began publishing a small weekly newspa per which she called the Paul Pry Journal. In it she fearlessly printed everything that she considered news, regardless of how much it embarrassed public officials. They tried to hit back at her by having her tried as a common scold, but John Eaton, President Jackson’s secretary of war, fur nished bond for her (mainly be cause she had been an ardent de fender of Peggy Eaton in the so cial war then raging). She changed the name of her paper to the Hunt ress but she didn’t cnange its char acter and to the end of her days in IBM she was a crusading journai- IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI chool Lesson o By REV.

GOLDEN TEXT—I sm the resurrec tion. and the life. John 11:2S. PRIMARY TOPIC — When Jesus’ Friends Stopped Crying. JUNIOR TOPIC — With Jesus ef Lftzsrus* Tomb. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— The Power of Jesus over Death. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIO- The Power of Jesus over Death. Life, even to the follower of Jesus Christ, has its hours of sorrow, suf fering, and bereavement. While the Christian is not "of the world,” he is "in the world," jmd here he must meet the problems of life, including the evils to which the flesh is heir because of sin. The fact that Jesus is our friend and our Saviour does not exempt us from human sorrow, but it does assure us of the needed grace to bear the trial and to trust Him even in life’s darkest hour. Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, was sick. The home in which Jesus had found rest and fellowship was in deep trouble. Jesus was no longer in Judea. In haste word is sent to him of his friend’s illness. But he does not come. Why does he delay? Such is the heart-cry of thousands today who call on him in their hour of trouble. The purposes of God are beyond our ability fully to understand. We need but to trust him and abide his time. Notice that his failure to re spond at once to the message of Lazarus’ sisters did not mean that lie had deserted them (11:4-6). Nor did it mean that he had denied them his help (11:7). Lazarus may have been dead before the word reached him. He may also have delayed in order that there might be no question about the resurrec tion miracle. And he may have tarried in order that their faith might be strengthened. Above all, do not fail to notice that he came. He always does. Jesus has never failed any child of his. The time and the manner of his answer to our prayers may not con form to our opinion of what should have been done, but let us remem ber that we know only in part, he knows all. Let us trust him. Job in his darkest hour said, *’Though he slay me. yet will I trust in him.” (Job 13:15). It is suggested that the lesson for today be studied and taught by considering three pain of words giving cause and effect. I. Death—Sorrow (w. 32-35; also w. 19-21). Try as we may to temper its cruel blow, the fact remains that death is the enemy of man. It came into the world as the result of sio (Rom. 5:12), and only in Christ is it "swallowed up in victory” (I Cor. 15:54). Until the glorious day of Christ’s returning when the redemp tion of the body will be complete (Rom. 8:23), death will still be the enemy whic4i brings sorrow to the heart and tears to the eyes. But let us not fail to notice that as the friends of Jesus we do not sorrow alone. He is with us. "Jesus wept” (v. 35) with Martha and Mary. He weeps with us in our trying hour. He is the "friend that sticketh closer than a brother." II. Faith—Hope (w. 23-28). Those who believe in Christ have more than the comfort of his sym pathizing presence—they have a sure hope. Read I Thessalonians 4:14-18. Sorrow and unbelief would becloud our faith and thus rob us of our hope. Martha needed to have her faith stimulated by the gracious words of the Lord, and then she triumphantly puts her ho^e in him as “the Christ of God.” Once we recognize him as God, we have no hesitation in believing in his mi raculous power. HI. Christ—Resurrection (w. 25, 26, 38-44). Majestic and authoritative are the words of Christ, “I am the resur rection and the life.” He it was who gave life, for was he not "in the beginning with God”? And is it not said of him that "all things were made by him”? And Paul tells us that "by him all things consist.” He is the only one who could say, "I lay down my life. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it up again.” (John 10:17, 18.) So it can rightly be said that if we have Christ we have everything— both in this world and in the world to come. But if we do not have Christ we have nothing. We are without God and without hope. One can sense the urgency of the soul-winner’s task, when this truth is known and realized. Happiness and Love Happiness is the legitimate fruit age of love and aervice. It never comes and never can come by mak ing it an end, and it is because so many perrons mistake here and seek for it directly, instead of loving and serving God, and thus obtain ing it, that there is so much dis satisfaction and sorrow. That lift is only truly free which rules and suffices for itself—Bui- A Luxurious Tablecloth . * A ^ I * * ft}’ ¥ fy * ,« , /' ^ .‘y . r*-,- ' - - i r i • lr- C'f v - > < - - ir*'-' < -. - ir*- • f \ > r ' • » - • » v Pattern 5738 Companion squares in filet cro chet make the loveliest household accessories.
