1t is this opportunity TO analyZe the

these scrubs have gone back to college

Ii has come to be fad with certain peo-
pie to entertain. and worst of all, to pro-
claim this supposed knowledge of sus-
pected and apocryphal faults in the moral
makeup of the father of his country.
Fortunately, the American people are
not disposed to second these efforts or to
indorse them by giving credence to the
tales. or paying interested attention to
them. They have preferred to regard
George Washington as he is ideaiized. 1t
is far better for the moral health of the
nation that 1t should entertain such an
ideal. 1t is infinitely to be preferred that
the George Washington of the popular
conception should be a man without a
flaw. a man above avarice, above false
pride, above selfish ambition, a man of
far-seeing wisdom and the broadcast aitru-
ism. than that the picture painted by
realistic schools of INSCRIPTIONS MS
torical painters should show the man pre-
cisely as he may have been in the en-

petty difficulties and burdened with the
practical cares of business
The nation is better for having such a
vision of George Washington. He has
become more than an historical fact. lie

force for the uplift of the great people.
To the extent that the idealized wash

benefits of a character of that exalted

Reversing History.


That Alabama and South Carolina
should be the first two states to ratify the
income tax amendments to the federal
Constitution involves a curious reversal of
history. South Carolina was the home OF
John c. Calhoun. the foremost champion
in the United States OF state rights and
of a strict construction of the federal Con-
stitutiOn which should contract to a mini
mum the powers granted to the general
government. The people of South Caro-
lima followed Calhoun devotedy to the
logical conclusion of his teachings. They
were ready to help him carry through his
program of notification. They yielded
only because he yielded. and they were
the first to declare renewed allegiance to
his principles when they discovered in
1851 that the institution of slavery was
In danger and took South Carolina out of
tn. Union. Alabama was a state scarcely
less ardent than South Carolina In its de-
votion to the extreme form OF state SOW
ereignty which eliminated in secession.
Montgomery was the first capital of the
Confederacy. and the people of Alabama
still doubtless believe that their devotion
to the theory Of state rights and state
sovereignty which the Confederacy repre-
scented il unabated- Yet these two states
have now ratified an amendment to the
federal Constitution which gives the gov
eminent at Washington a power OF direct
taxation which 1t possessed before only
in name. since the conditions OF the grant
in the Constitution practically prevented
its exercise in such manner as to do
any sort Of Justice among different parts
Of the nation.

Washington, the Man and the City

Observance of George Washington s
birthday is this year made notable in the
city bearing the name of the first Presi-
dent by reason of the fact that project

erative of his services is now at the point
of successful inauguration. Here in this
city should be not merely one but numer-
Gus symbols of Washington. The name
of the city is in itself a tribute to him
The great shaft on the bank of the Po-
tomac is a vivid reminder of the sim
pIicity and nobility of his character. There
remains yet To be provided place of as
semblage for the people of not only the
Capital city but of all the states they
come to Washington to transact the
business of their national organizations.
The memorial hall proposition appeals
strongly TO the patriotism of the people.
1t is proposed to enlist the school children
of the country and to give each child Il
share in the opportunity which here offers
itself 10 express in an enduring form and
in a practical manner the American senti-
ment toward Washington. the President.
The combination of sentiment and bust
ness has been effected that will undoubt-
eddy produce results, and it is to be ex-
pected that as result of the campaign
now in progress ample funds will soon be
in hand warranting a formal application
10 Congress for the provision of site for
the projected building.
Various plans have been formed for the
erection of an auditorium i'm Washington
TO accommodate the organizations which
meet here in annual convention and to
provide an assembling place for the citi-
zens in their various civic activities. As
a business proposition alone there may be
doubt of the success of such a plan.
Washington Is not large enough to main
tain such an institution profitably without
assistance. The George Washington me-
mortal enterprise, however. is assured of
success if il is continued on it's present
plane
On this day IT is well to think of George
Washingtons ideal for the Capital city.
He had a clear vision of a seat Of govern
ment expressive in its externals and its
equipment of the spirit which carried the
colonies through their successful revolt
against British dominion. With wisdom
far beyond the appreciation of his fellow
citizens he conceived a great national GEN.
ter, calling to his assistance a man of
imagination and skill. who interpreted
his ideas in plan which is today the adj
miration OF all the world. The full exc
cution of that plan remains to be accom-
piished, but if the constantly growing
sentiment of the people of all the states
nnds expression in terms of enactments
by the local legislation. the two houses of
Congress, 1t will not be long before this
city will be in all of its appointments. in
its physical attractions and its inspiring
proportions and its wise provisions for
the comfort health, security, enlighten-
ment and progress of its jewellers. full
expression of the American concept of
George Washington.

Keep YOUR eye on New York. Never

i'm that state have conditions been quite
so confused as at present IL might not
be safe to describe them as chaotic.
Chaos is q strong word. But there is a
resemblance to chaos, and it remains to

history is being uncovered, and influent al
local leaders are under the gravest
charges Another item of worry is fed
eral patronage. Some of the President S
appointments have not been well re-
ceived. and some suggested have raised
vigorous protest. And then the atti-
tude of Gov. Hughes toward third NOM

publican are at skies and sevens from

Things democratic are no better. They

And says Mr.. Murphy, with a snap Of his

But should not Mr.. Corners tell his

party, composed of the better men of the
two old organizations, capable of, and

DR.. Everett and DR.. English.

There died the other day a Massachu-
sets scholar who spent a term in the
House some fifteen years ago. and was
the source Of much pleasure and enter
tainment to his associates there. This
was DIR. William Everett, son of Edward
Everett
Past fifty when he came: set in his
ways" and those ways smacking of any
thing but politics, not shy or at all
dreamy. but of push and activity wholly
unlike the developments Of the caucus or
the pull" DIR. Everett never seemed at
home in the House. AS the son of his
father he could of course speak well, and
as a man of wide and varied reading he
knew much that applied to the issues pre-
scented for his consideration as a repre-
sentative. And he was alert in his way
Hut an observer found himself up
against the questions: How did he get
here? Why did he want to come? What
could he have hoped to accomplish for
his people?''
He did not return. and whether ne had
enjoyed his little experience or not was
not publicly discussed when he retired.
Another man of scholarly tastes and at
tainments who appeared In the House
about that time. and served several terms,
was Thomas Dunn English who had been
a physician. poet. a playwright and a
journalist. He was in his seyenty-fifth
year. and represented a New Jersey dis
triet. He had seen much. and mine,ed
with many celebrities. He had known
Edgar Poe. and did not admire the man.
He had written much poetry himself, but
was disguised with fortune for keeping
alive out OF all Of 1t only a simple ballad,
which. as he thought, did not reflect his
powers at all. References to him as the
author Of Ben Bolt" did not cheer him
In the slightest.
And DR.. English also looked strange
In his legislative character, and set an
observer 10 wondering why and how he
had come. He appeared as much out of
place as butterfly or humming- bird
would in a boiler yard. With trained
and seasoned politicians laundering and
maneuvering all around him, he sat at
his desk. drummed upon the lid, studied
the painted skyight and seemed afar
of. He was not an idler He looked
out for his people and addressed the
House when necessary. but in nothing
he said or did suggested the gladiator
in the bull ring contending for advantage.
That Congress should be lure for
politicians seeking power and promotion,
and for young lawyers an orators seek
ing advertisement and a chance to exer.
else themselves before the country. is
easily understood But what that elderly
pedagogue or that venerable poet saw In
such service is a mystery.
