The spirit of reverence for George Wash

services In behalf of the American people
does not wane with the passing Of the
years. HIS natal day is celebrated as gen

In the matter of the Wilson bill he was
the one democrat In Congress who kept
an entirely level head and a stif upper
lip. He had no part or lot In misshaping
the Wilson bill. While the democratic sem
ators In charge OF that measure were twist
ing 1t so as to admit an income tax. Mr..
Hill, in public speeches and in newspaper
interviews. stoutly opposed that purpose.
As democrat he denounced the tax as
unwise in time OF peace, and as lawyer
he demonstrated its unconstitut1onality.
Later. the Supreme Court upheld his legal
proposition.
The supreme test came when the bill, in
a sort of crazy quilt condition, was put
upon its passage. 1t was acceptable to but
few democratic senators. and Mr.. Cleve-
land. although having been kept advised
of every step taken. had denounced 1t IN
personal letter. But Mr.. Hill was the
only senator of his party who had the
courage to vote no. While everybody else
surrendered to expediency, and Mr.. Cleve-
land. for all his laundering in the index,
was getting ready to let the bill become
law without his signature, MIR. Hill stood
to his guns and to his democracy
p The reward for all this has been obloquy,
disappointment and virtual banishmenr.
History Is likely to be little kinder.
