President George Washington's Address,
September IL, 1896.
GARDEN CITY, Mo, Feb. 21.-In ont
of the little frame houses that stick up
out of a sea of mud in this dreary viii
lage lives Thornton Augustin Washing
ton, aged So, drug clerk, painter and plain
citizen.
AS the nth birthday of Geo. Wash
ington, F.. in p. F., i'm W., +. in T. H. q.
II. c., was at hand, I journeyed to Gar
den City to discuss affairs of state with
Thornton Augustin Washington, for, be
it known, he is the direct descendant OF
the father of his country, and If circum-
stances had been different in May, 1852,
the drug clerk might today be king of
all America, by the grace of God, en-
peror of the Philippines, of Porto Rico,
of Alaska, of Hawaii and Guam and the
canal zone.
Instead of preparing pink pills for pale
people he might be on a throne in Wash
ington, guiding the destines of the world s
greatest nation.
There is only one flsw in Thornton
Washington's title. Geo. Washington,
oommander-in-chief of the colonial
armies. and brother to Thornton Wash
ington's great grandfather, refused the
crown which royalists and those who
didn't believe in the new idea, urged him
to take With a devoted army behind
him, the stroke of state would have been
easy. But Geo. washington, after re-
Election, refused.
With the refusal Thornton Augustin
Washington lost for all time his chance.
He was eldest son of eldest son all along
the line. The only real reason that he
isn't Thornton H., sixth in the line of
Washington royalty, is that Geo. Wash
ington wouldn't start the line.
If the Missouri chemist were king, he
would be the last of his line He is a
bachelor, he has no brothers. The title
would pass to Vernon Washington, of
Centerview, Va. son of that Geo. Wash.
ington who threw up the post of cashier
in the office of collector of customs of
San Francisco. and hurried east to join
the Confederate army in 1861.
OF course, Geo. Washington might have
divorced Martha, and, like Napoleon,
