TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
July 15 1606—'Rembrandt Herman
zoon van Rijn was born at Leyden,
Holland, destined to become an im
mortal as Rembrandt, painter and
etcher. When at 28, he wooed Suskia
van Uylenborch. 20 her folks sought
to prevent their marriage because
they believed she was marrying be
neath her. He was only a painter,
a low and godless parvenu—the son
of a miller.
July 15. 1779—Clement Clarke Moon?
was born in New York City, destined
to be a distinguished teacher and sch
olar for 40 years—and to be remem
bered only because he wrote A Visit
from St. Nicholas, which is usually
mistitled The Night Before Christmas.
He didn’t write the poem for publi

July 15. 1853 —The envoy of a west

was Commodore Matthew C. Ferry, U.
S. Navy, who forced Japan to open
its ports to the world.
As Perry’s squadron rode at anch
or in Yuddo bay, a Yankee tar gave
a Japanese fisherman a cake of soap.
The Japanese decided it was some
thing to eat, took it home, sliced it
up, made it the basis of a stew. As
bubbles rose to the surface and a
fragment perfume filled the fish
man’s hut curious neighbors excitedly
gathered. A fortunate few were in

this wondrous new dish. With pop

THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS
AGO TODAY
July 15, 1915 The Imperial Ger
man Government, in a note to Wash
ington, finally admitted that an at
tack by torpedo had been made on
the American fijfiighter Nebraskan
on May 25
She was struck near the bow but
was able to put back to port. Pieces
of the shattered metal from her hull
were sent to Washington, with frag
ments of the explosive. Naval ex
perts determined from these that it
was a torpedo and not a mine—as
Germany’s foreign office had first
wanted us to believe —that struck the
Nebraskan. Caught red-handed, the
German government made reply to
Washington’s protest, expressing re
gret and offering compensation.
Its excuse was that the attack had
occurred in the dim light of early
evening when the submarine com
mander was unable to see any mark
ings showing that the Nebraskan was
an American ship As the sun had
already set, the flag had been lower

WRITING WRONGS
You’re just guessing if you be
lieve —
That Mrs. Miriam “Ma” Ferguson
of Texas was the first woman gov
ernor.
She wasn’t; for she was elected the
same day as Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross
of Wyoming, and Mrs. Ross was
first to qualify. The point is import
ant historically for the steady ad
cates that it won’t be long before
vance of women in government indi
we'll have a woman President. Our
information on the subject comes
from an unimpeachable source, Mrs.
Ross s brother, S. G. Tayloe, judge
of the 45th Judicial District Court
San Antonio, Tex., who writes:
“1 have seen and heard the state
ment on various occasions that the
first woman governor was ‘Ma’ Ferg
uson . . . The laws of Wyoming au
thorize a governor-elect to qualify at
an earlier date than may be done
under the laws of Texas; on account
of this Mrs. Ross qualified and be
came governor on Jan. 20, 1925, while
Mrs. Ferguson qualified and became
governor on Jan. 20, 1925 . . An elec
tion of itself does not confer an of
fice on one. The act of qualifying
(usually merely taking the oath of of
fice) is the legal investiture of the
office. Hence Mrs. Ross was gov
ernor 15 ciays earlier than Mrs. Fer
guson . ”
Mr. Tayloe might have added that
Mrs. Ross is the first woman to hold
such she is responsible for safekeep
the office of Director of the Mint. As

NAMING OF WHITLEY
MAY HURL COOLEY
Disappointed Job Hunters
May Blame Him for Not
Getting Plums
Dauy »I*i»atch Boreas,
In the Sir Walter Hotel,
BY J. C. I3ASKERVILL,
Raleigh* July 15. —Congressman
Harold L. Cooley, of the fourth con
gressional district, who may or may
not have had a good deal to do with
the naming of Philip L. Whitley, his
private secretary as WPA director in
the third administrative district, is
likely to find that he made a mis
take in permitting Whitley to take
this job, according to a good many in
political circles here. The general be
life is that Whitley obtained the ap
pointment as a result of the influence
of Representative Cooley and Sena
tor Josiah W. Bailey, since Whitley

was one of Cooley’s Wake county
campaign managers in his campaign
for the congressional nomination in
the fourth district, in which he was
opposed by George Ross Pou, of Ra
leigh and Smithfitld, and by Jere P
Zollicoffer, of Henderson. Previous to
that time he had been an officer in
the Wake County Young Democrats
club. After Cooley was nominated and
elected, he appointed Whitley as his
private secretary in Washington.
Within the last few days Whitley was
appointed by State WPA Administra
tor George W. Coan, Jr., former
mayor of Winston-Salem, as WPA
director for the third district with
headquarters here in Raleigh.
But this may not turn out to be
such a good move on the part of
Cooley, after all, a good many think.
In the first place, Whitley is going
to get hundreds of applications for
jobs from Cooley constituents over
the district. He will not be able to
give jobs to more than a handful ot
the hundreds who will apply, with the
result that all those who fail to get
jobs will blame Representative Cooley
rather than Whitley for this failure.
“All those who fail to get. jobs
with the WPA from Whitley will, of
course, become peeved with both Whir
ley and Cooley,” one observer com
mented. “Then a year or so from now
when the WPA starts t 0 reduce its
organization and let some of its em
ployes go, those cut off from Whit
ley’s district office will forget all
about the jobs they have had for a
year or more and get mad with Cooley
and blame him for losing their jobs.
So, on the whole, it looks as if Cooley
would have done better if some one
else besides Whitely had been named
W/PA director in this district.”

said, and their salaries have to come
