Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Congressman
Oscar w. Underwood, of Alabama,
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committe of the House, delivered an
address in this city last night at the
annual banquet of the State Society
of the Cincinnati His subject was
George Washington, and he said in
part:
washington did not foresee all
the perplexing problems with which we
have to deal today, in our tariff
or in our great corporations, in our
currency, in our foreign possessions,
or in reconciliation of the rights of
labor and capital; he did not foresee
the vast task we all have, whether
native or foreign born, of taking the
new material constantly coming to
our shores and assimlating it into
our growth and moulding it into a
loyal and intelligent support of our
institutions; he did not see the me-
nance of destructive Socialism nor the
extent to which, unfortunately we
were to go in substituting party in
terest for political principle, though
as to this he gave us paternal warning.
Nevertheless he did foresee suffic-
lent of our problems to be able to CON-
mend to us a course the principles of
which, if steadily adhered to, should
bring Us safely through all the perils
to which We may be exposed. While
he did not outline the bylaws, so to
speak, that must, from time to time,
be framed and adopted for the detail
ed life Of this country, he did under
stand as no one slse understood, the
organic principles upon which we
were to rest the security and the well
fare of our national life. And sub
Ject always to his urgent advice
against permanent alliances with for
eign powers. like high priest among

towards all peoples.
Washington's Common Sense
"Washington's distinguishing COM
mon sense and practical turn of mind
served him well in the administration
of his high office. Few, IL any, mere
generalities or quixotic schemes or &C.
ton were suggested by him; but, on
the contrary, he seemed to be master
Of the underlying principles of the bu-
siness needs of the country as he had
been Of the plans of his campaigns.
At a time when so many of us
are disposed to put upon the statute
books nostrums for relief from our
industrial and financial and economic
evils, 1t will be well for us to call to
mind the striking contrast between
the moderate volumn and temperate
character of laws enacted during his

ennoble nation; we have meda COM
promise with things of evil import.
We have, at times, been unmindful of
the rights of others as we have hur-
iied on to the RELAXATION of am
bilious plans; and, in our Indifference
to the demands of good citizenship,
we have been guilty of or acquisced in
course of conduct that has given rise
to sullen expressions of an unrest to
which we cannot afford to be uncon-
cerned listeners; for unchecked I'M
rest is likely to breed discomfort and
discomfort in it's turn disorder. And,
unless we frankly recognize this, we
shall have no reasonable hope of cor
recting the conditions which arise, if
they do not altogether justify, those
expressions, and which are a menance
not only to our continuing prosperity
but our self respect and our repute
time goes on, in obedience to popular
clamor, we shall be tempted to enact
statutes unjust to labor or capital and
not representing reflection and con-
viction, or statutes which are fairly
certain to be incapable of enforcement
and to bring the administration of the
law into contempt. We shall be
tempted to hesitate and temporize con-
corning things demanding prompt and
courageous action for the public well
fare. Again and again we shall stand
perplexed in which direction to go
when we shall have come to the
crossroads of public duty and more
party expediency or even self-interest;
our way will be so shut in by doubt
that we shall hesitate even to a sin
gle step forward and upward. But
there is one thing above all things
to which we may cling with a certain
faith-that so long as we keep with
ourselves a covenant to return to and
abide by the principles ofWashing-
tons Farewell Address, so long as
his character shall be remembered and
revered by us, so long as we shall set
his life and his devotion before us as
the best type and example of Ameri-
can citizenship to admire and emu
late, this country cannot falter In true
progress nor in the end come short OF
it's high mission in the world. For
then, during all times to come, we
shall have for our political guidance
as a people the inspiration of his
presence, which will be to us what,
for the moral guidance of men, the
Word of the Lord was to the Psalmist
of old-"a lamp unto the feet and
light unto the path"

TINES OF washington
COMPARED With TODAY

Presidency and so much of cur pres
ent day legislation of the experiment
tai sort, rejecting often merely a
view of today that is lilely to be the
heresy of tomorrow, and attempting
to deal with the Objectionable tendency
before it is seen that it will not be
arrested of itself, or before we have
sufficient understanding of it to be in
position to know or apply the appro-
pirate remedy. Accordingly the rec
concentrations and the legislation of
Washington's administration were
not along guess work lines; but the
elements of soberness, patience and
wisdom which he so invariably man
Tested we're typical of the plans he
favored and adopted to bring order
out of financial and industrial chaos,
promote industry among the people
and restore their energies by opening
up new sources of revenue and pros
perity. and by assuring men that
they should gather and be secure in
the possession of the harvest of their
labor.
There is a great need too for us in
this day when constitutional restraint
has become irksome to many, never
to turn a deaf ear to the stirring ap-
peal of Washington to his people
that the departments into which our
Government is constitutionally divid-
ed shall be kept with determined hand
within their respective boundaries.
Speaking here not as party man but
as a citizen of the Republic, my OBJ
servation and reflection have shown
me how treacherously easy is the trans
ition from Capitalization of govern
ment-which those of the Republican
Party set so much store by and which
a good many of us Democrats are
inclined to acquiesce into person
alization of government and then to
usurpation of government. Washing
ton in all his career uttered no greater
truth than when he declared that a
constitutional government, under such
circumstances, becomes almost, as a
matter of course, a despotism. For
a long time, fortunately, this was the
view Of the American people; and
when they have departed from it a
long and ominous step has been taken,
not only in the commission of error,
but towards -ablishing evil prece-
dent.
Problems of Serious Nature
1--WE have however, problems of a
serious nature confronting us for solu
ton, and doubtless they will increase
as time gees on. We, as peop'e, have
tolerated the doing of thingr which
mus be undone or made right and not
condoned; we have at times set toe
much store by mere material success
and judged as of minor consequence
