THE PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY
TAKES A LONG WALK IN THE
RAIN.

Yesterday was President Roosevelt's
forty-ninth birthday anniversary. No
celebration marked the event, the Presi-
dent rounding out his forty ninth year
and entering upon his fiftieth with the
same simplicity that always characterizes
his acts.
He did not depart from his customary
Sunday program of worship, work and
re creation. Much of the day. however,
was spent at the White House firesids
in a quiet family rejoicing. Congratu-
lations in large numbers by mail, tele-
graph and telephone were received at the
White House during the day.
President Roosevelt attended services
at Grace Church in the morning after
which he spent short time in the exeCu-
tive offices going over his correspondence
In the afternoon. in a downpour of rain,
the Pre- sident, accompanied only by the
usual guards. went out for a long cross
country walk. He left the White House
about $50 O'Clock and returned shortly
before o'clock.
Last night President Roosevelt received
the Hungarian Club of New York In the
east room. when the visitors extended
the chief executive their congra tulations.
1t has bcen the custom of the Hungarian
Club to visit Washington on President
Roosevet's birthday anniversary to pay
its respects.

Names to Conjure With

Political parties Of all magnitudes know
the value OF the great name in history as a
slogan or label. There are Lincoln parties

Jackson clubs, Cleveland democrats and
Mckinley republicans. Washington is

ideas he might not understand or might
find intolerable.
human mind, it has it's good side and its
bad. The bad side is easily seen. Ignorant
voters, dimly familiar with q great name
and assuming it to stand for right and
truth, follow the name without scrutiniz-
ing the men or the principles with which
it is arbitrarily joined.
When party or a sub-division OF party
asserts that it represents, say, 'Lincoln's
idea" it does not always follow that any
idea, can be found in Lincoln's deeds and
utterances which corresponds to the ideas
Of those who profess discipleship. More
over, it is not altogether certain that LIN
coins real belief on any one problem
which still remains unsolved is necessarily
right, for the greatest of men are not in
fallible, and they are evidently limited by
the times in which they live.
The good side OF conjuring with great
names is that an appeal to historical tradi-
ton has patriotic and educational value.
If the appeal is direct and specific, II
points to some man or principle important
In history, and leads us to study our
country. The experience of the past, well
learned, is wisdom for the present, and
anything which encourages US to examine
the records OF old experience performs a
real service. Young Americans who hear
politicians fling Hamilton and Jefferson at
each other are thereby made aware OF the
hostility between the old opponents, and
induced to study them. To keep fresh the
names that stand for definite ideas is to
solidify national tradition.-Y Youths Com
