WHAT WASHINGTON TAUGHT


When in travail and sorrow a new
nation was born amidst conditions
that only genius could overcome
mighty figure doomed up great, lumi-
nous and supreme. His might as
conquerer has given him place In
military history. his statesmanship Is
contemporaneous with the wisest
counsellors OF nations, and his gen.
tleness has been lingering inspira-
ton for the generations that have
come since his passing.
In the schools throughout the ma
ton the children hear once each
year Of George Washington. the
Father of his Country. 1t Is fitting
and proper that this should be. We
who are grown cling to what we
learned as children and in turn use
the life OF Washington as an ideal
for our children.
But have we absorbed all that this
commanding figure taught?
We know OF him as leader Of our
army and the world loves a con-
querer. We revere him as our first
president and we pay tribute to him
a. patriot.
We acclaim him first in peace, but
do we realize fully what distinction

years later the disastrous Civil war,

should the occasion arise for them.
We can bring on fighters to the death
so long as man shall remain,
should the occasion require. But we
are poor barrack soldiers. We fret
under commoner things and condi-
tions. We forget that true patriot
ism includes loyalty in time of peace.
The inherent desire for the spectac-
ular inspires us to our best effort
only under the stress of invasion by
enemies.
Washington taught more than
patriotism in time of the country's
sore distress. He hated the war that
brought him world fame. while he
loved the peaceful pursuits that
brought him no emolument save the
consciousness OF acting we'll the citi-
xen's part.
Instead of glorying In the victories

we are doing our full duties as sold

community. Its people and its insti-
tutions? Are we doing all we can

circumstances of war, when the
heroic spirit teens. we would all
march forth to field of carnage, but
with war remote. are we living up
to the spirit of '76? Are we doing
our full duty as patriots in our own
little baliwick?
Washington taught that this Is
worth while-as important, in fact,
as being soldiers in time OF need.
Then let US, on this day when we
pay tribute to the founder of our re-
public, make part of our patriotic

DENOUNCED
JEFF DAVIS GIVES MARY ann A
ROAST. SOMETHING DEAD
In DENMARK"
INDIANA BILL WAS UP

Washington, JAM 26.-Former
United States Senator Marion Butler.
of North Carolina, was denounced on
the floor of the Senate by Senator
jeff Davis, of Arkansas, yesterday.
The denunciation was administered
in connection with an amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill offered
by Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, pro-.
viding for the payment of the fees
of attorneys for the Colville reserva-
ton Indians in the collection of a
claim of $1,50O,000.
Making a point of order against the
amendment, Mr.. Davis said:
81 am advised that ex-senator
Marion Butler is interested in this
matter. have seen ex-senator Butler
lowering around here, and 1 want to
say when I see that gentleman here l
at once form suspicion that there
is something dead in Denmark. He
has secured more claims than any
other man within my knowledge, and
the fact that he has an interest in a
claim is in itself enough to put the
Senate on it's guard"
Senator Davis stated also that the
claim had grown out of a contract
with the Indians procured by Col.
Hugh Gordon, son of ex-senator
Gordon, of Mississippi, and ex-Con-
gresham Marsh, of Pennsylvania, but
he said that in committee the state
ment had been made that when the
contract was made Colonel Gordon
Waslafha sanretary Of his father as
Senator. He said also that 100000
had been paid the at t-orneys.
Defending the provision, Senator
Bacon, of Georgia, said that the at
torneys had been awarded 10 per cent
on the $1,5O0,OOO He added that $4,-
100000 had been collected by the
Indians as a, result of the work done.
He also declared that no improper
influence had been used in connection
with the claim.
The point of order was susutained
and the bill carrying about $9, 100000
was passed. The bill is the first OF
the general appropriation bills tc

DEADLOCK IS
UNBROKEN
THE BALLOT FOR A new YORK
SENATOR Is UNCHANGED
FROM TUESDAY
SHEEHAN MAY BE DROPPED

Albany, N. Y, Jan 26.-Evidence OF
a break in the deadlock over the cleo
ton of United States Senator, which
has existed for the past two weeks,
appeared last night in several quar-
ters. Although there was no organ
ized movement, individual members
were more open In expressing dissat-
isfaction with the prolongation of the
present situation, and developments
are expected soon that will set some
new figures on the tally slips of the
joint assembly. No one, however.
would predict that the situation
would show any outward change this
week
Until yesterday, prospects of
break were based on the efforts made
by the supporters of William F.
Sheehan to win over enough votes
from the twenty-six Democrats who
refused to attend the Democratic eau
Gus to elect Sheehan. But after Nor
man E. Mack, the national Democratic
chairman, and Winfield A. Huppuch,
| the State chairman of the Democratic
| organization, had tried in vain to
bring the insurgents" into line, some
of those who had voted for Mr.. Shee-
han, mainly because they considered
it their duty to do so under caucus
obligation, began to look for another
solution of the problem.
+ It is acknowledged. that the leaders
of the New York county organiza-
tion are%the only ones qualified to
speak with authority on this subject
and hither- they have insisted that
the party was bound by all party prin-
ciples to elect Mr.. Sheehan. Last
night, however, prominent Tamna-
| ny man acknowledged that the possi-
/ bility of abandoning Mr. Sheehan for
another candidate was under discus
sion. ~
The apparent hopelessness of the
situation as it now stands was Illus
| trated when the seventh joint ballot
/ gave the eleven Democratic candf-
dates exactly the same vote as they
received Tuesday.

VA. BIG DEBT
SUIT ARGUED
SPOONER CONTENDS THAT WEST
VIRGINIA SHOULD NOT BE
LIABLE FOR Is
$33,OOO,OOO INVOLVED

Washington, Jan 26.-Now praising
and then condemning the common
wealth of Virginia, former United
States Senator John c.. Spooner yes
terday argued before the Supreme
Court of the United States that West
Virginia should not be held liable for
one-thir6 of the 100000 debt
which hung over Virginia when, West
Virginia became a State. He declar-
ed that neither population, area nor
wealth afforded proper. basis for a
distribution of the debt. His conten-
ton was that, Virginia, still remain
ing in existence, the debt should be
borne substantially according to To-
ca1ity of expenditure.
The attorney praised Virginia and
the mel of that State for espousing
the cause they believed was right in
the late war. But he condemned the
State for it's manner of attempting to
apportion the debt.
'In view of the Constitution of West
Virginia, to which Virginia agreed, ?
argued Mr.. Spooner in considering
the latter subject, "and in view of the
constitutional injunction laid upon
the Legislature of Virginia. by the
constitution of that commonwealth of
1870, this apportionment by the Vir
ginia Legislature of two-thirds of the
debt to herself and the other one
third to West Virginia and the issuing
Of certificates recitfng that Virginia
had ts5af day discharged her equitable
proportion of the debt, without con
su1ting West Virginia, was gross
ter and insulting to a sister State"
Mr. -Spooner went into a detailed
900 Virginia debt. He said that much
of the deb had been incurred by the
improvement corporations. Such an
expenditure, he argued, was not to be
considered as a general, but as a local
debt. The fortunes of war made Vir
ginias battlefield, and either asI 9
result of that or for some other rea
son, the stock became worthless, Mr.
Spooneri said.
eff the stock had doubled in value, !
said Senator spooner, Virginia would
have remained Virginia as far as this
debt was concerned. Now that the
stock has proven worthless they are
seeking to show that Virginia includes
West Virginia" 8 S $40
