The 10th anniversary OF the birth Of
George Washington was celebrated by the
Senate OF the United States yesterday. in
accordance with its annual custom, by
the reading Of the Farewell Address of
the Father Of His Country.
It was remarked by a number of those
who heard the document read that it
might well have been written with n
prophetic provision of the conditions to-
day in the country which Washington did
so much 10 create and to preserve.
From the opening paragraph. in which
fhe greatest American put forth hts doc
trine. uniformly observed by his success
sors up 10 the present day that no man
should occupy the highest position in the
gift Of the American people more than
twice. to the closing sentences. which
warn against the decay or those liberties
which the writer and his fellow patriots
bequeathed to their descendants. nearly
every word Of the Address teens with
meaning for the present citizens OF this
country just as strongly as il held advice
and fatherly counsel for those 10 whom
he was about 20 commit the guidance Jr
the new ship OF state.
