BAD MEN IN THE
GOOD OLD TIMES

If Colonel A. X. Mcclure really
said that the so,ial and political
ideals of the time of Washington
were snch as as TO reflect credit by
contrast on the social aud political
ideals of the time OF Roosevelt. he
deserves the unmeasrued condemna-
tion of the idealists. whose method
of saving the world Is to cause IL to
fall on its face before stuffed idols.
But listen to a few words OF
which the idols themselves spoke be-
fore they we're stuffed.
After the battle Of Bunker Hill
Washington said in II letter: "The
Massachusetts officers, generally
speaking, are the most Indifferent
kind of people ever saw. | have
already broke one colonel and five
captains for cowardice aud for draw
ing more pay aud provisions than
they had men In their company.
Later on in the war Washington
continually speaks of the dirty

If their disinclination to face bull
let's. During the progress of the
fighting around New York he was
obliged, as his companion, Tench
Tilehman, reported, to clay his
cane over many of the officers who
showed their men the example of
running" 1t was during this same
fighting that, according to the
memoirs of General Heath, "Wash'
ington threw his hat on the ground
and exclaimed: care these the men
with which am to defend American"
Turning from physical to moral
courage, the student of the times OF
Washington finds little improve
ment. Henry Laurens, president OF
congress, said: "Where Is the vir-
tue, where is patriotism now when
members of congress artfully start a
movement, succeed, and then avail
themselves of the secrets OF tho house
and commence monopolizing aud
accumulate the public debt for their
private emolumsnts! John Adams
said: 1.-The spirit Of venality Is the

ruin America II she IL ever ruined. !"
Even Washington, sober aud re.
strained tHlker III he was, admitted
that Speculation, peculation aud an
unsuitable thirst for riches seem ia
have got the better Of every order of
men," He therefore most cynically
concluded that "after the first emo
tions are over, to expect among
such people as compose the bulk of
an army that they are Influenced by
any other principles than those of in
terest, is to look for what never did
and, fear, never will happen.

chants, IL is no wonder that
Washington did not regard his times
rs they are regarded now by the
retrospective enthusiasts who cannot
see through the golden mists OF
Monmouth and Yorktown.
The men of the revolutiOnary
period in America were, on the
whole, inferior to the men of no other
period in the history of the world.
Yet many of them were towards and
many of them were thieves. Incl
dentally, they produced the arch
trsirtor, Benedict Arnold. and the
