greatest in our history. was incurred in
the civil war for the preservation of the
union. But this did not exceed the re-
sources or discourage the intentions of
the American people. There were those
who suggested reputation, but the peop.e
repudiated them and went on unchecked,
discharging the obligations of the gov
ernment in the coin of honor.
From the day our flag was unfured to
the present hour, no stain of just obi
CATION violated has yet furnished the
American name. This must be as true in
the future as it has in the past There
will be prophets of evil and false teach
ings Some parts of the column may
waver and wander away from the stand
ard but there will ever rally around it
mighty majority to preserve it stainless
and in honor.
At no point in his administration does
Washington appear in grander proportions
than when he enunciates his ideas in re-
gard to the foreign policy of the govern
ment: "Observe good faith and justice
toward all nations; cultivate peace and
harmony with all; religion and morality
enjoin this conduct. Can it be that good
policy does not equally enjoin it? 1t will
q be worthy of a free enlightened and at
no distant period. a great nation to give to
mankind the magnanimous and too novel
example of a people always guided by an
exalted justice and benevolence."
To-day, nearly a century from Washing
tons DEATH we turn reVerentially to study
the leading principles of that confprehen-
sve chart for the guidance of the people
It was his unflinching, immovable devo-
ton to these perceptions of duty which
more than anything else made him what
he was and contributed so directly to
make us what we are. Following the pre-
cepts of Washington we cannot err. The
wise lessons in government which he left
us it will be profitable to heed. He seems
TO have grasped all possible conditions and
pointed the way safely 10 meet them. He
has established danger signals all along
the pathway of the nations march.
He has warned us against false lights
He has taught us the true philosophy. Of
perfect union" and show us the graphic
dangers of wild and unreasonable party
spirit. He has emphasized the necessity
az all times for the exercise of sober and
d passionate judgment.
Such a judgment, my fellow-citlzens, is
the best safeguard in calm and Tranquil
events. and rises superior and triumphant
above the storms of woe and peril
What the future will be depends upon
ourselves, and that future will bring still
greater blessings to a free people / can
not doubt. With education and morality
in their homes loyalty to the underlying
principles of free government in their
hearts and law and justice fostered and
exempIfied by those intrusted with public
administration, we will continue to enjoy
the respect Of mankind and the gracious
favor of Almighty God. The priceless OPP
portunity Is ours to demonstrate anew the
enduring triumph of American civilization,
and to help in the progress and prosperity
of the land we love.
