Although no was tho father OF his
country" Washington was in no sense
the representative OF paternalism in
government He and tho founders OF
the republic who Iabored with him, be.
lieved that government should do moth.
ing for the citizen which he can do
equally well for himself. Populists, on
the contrary, hold in effect that the
citizen should do nothing for himself
which he can induce government to do
for him. In view OF this fact it is sing
ular that the anniversary OF Washing.
toms birthday should be selected rs
the date for holding a national conven-
ton OF Populis:s ut Kansas City to
formulate doctrines which find no
counteuauce in Washington's life or
writings. It is rs though the anniver-
sary OF the founder OF Christianity wore
seized upon as fitting occasion for
celebrating Bob Ingersollism. Let Cox.
eyites choose tho anniversary Of Coxey's
hobo crusade to celebrate Coxeyism.
Washington's birthday awakens wholly
different thoughts and should DO put to
better uses.
