SATURDAY. FEBRUARY p. 1909.

The anniversary Of George Wash
ington's birthday brought forth the
usual number OF orations in honor
OF ths occasion. Among the most
Notable were those OF ex-Judge Al
ton B. Parker at the University OF
Virginia, and Governor Fort. OF
New Jersey, at Chicago. Judge
Psrker's address fairly breathed OF
the spirit OF the great founder of the
University, as he deprecated any
tendency to depsrt from principles
he laid down and which were en-
grated into our fundamental law by
Our forefathers. Is was a timely de-
liverance and one TO which the peo-
pie should hearken.
Gov. Forts address was in sharp
contrast TO Judge Parker's. In il
he advocated she election of presi-
dents for lie, a scheme which our
fathers long ago repndisted, and
which their DEFENDANTS would no
doubt have since done II they had
done otherwise. We had as well es-
tsblish an empire and have kings TO
reign over US and be done with neces-
si'y OF holding any elections. The
fact that practically all federal Of
6csr- must go back to the people
frequently with an account OF their
stewardship and for renewal OF their
commissions is the bulwark of our lib
ersy. Federal patronage has done
much to rob our system Of govern
ment OF it's sheoretic perfection, even
80 she point Of enabling a chief exec
utive 80 chose his successor.
