first in war and first in the hearts of his
cOuntrymen becomes more luminous with
the passage of the years. The ideals of
the nation need the setting of the great
personality which saw their crystalliza-
ton. The various patriotic societies that
give fitting observation to the day do SO
more through the wonderful personality
and charm of Washington than for any
other reason.
The founder of the nation was the
power behind the principles. His prowess
upon the field was the vaior of the Amer
lean spirit in it's first finding of itself. His
tributes to the fund of national conscious
ness and his contributions to the fund of
national phi osophy were such as to make
him distinctively the man for every oc-
casion in the nations life. Therefore.
George Washington lives in the intangi-
BILE sentiment Of the people as much as
he lives in the vitality of his acts and the
pellucid wisdom of his utterances.

His boom is booming.
But how infelicitous, not to say I'M
grateful, that fling at Cannonism In the
platform! Did the Missourians not rec
ognize in their attractive and accom-
plished leader product-the most dis
tinguished personal produet-of Cannon
ism? Mr. Clark is that
Who gave Mr.. Clark hts best chance In
the House? Speaker Cannon. Who first
saw in the Ozark member the material
for great usefulness to his party and the
country. and gave him committee as
signments which would develop his tai
ents? Speaker Cannon.
At that time Mr.. Cannon as Speaker
had unchallenged power In the matter of
the composition of the committees. The
power of appointment rested with him
alone. although he consulted members on
both sides of the chamber about: their
personal wishes and their views Of others.
Did he abuse that power in playing
favorites and keeping strong men in the
rear? Certainly not in the case Of Mr..
Clark. Seeing that he had high ability
and capacity for leadership. Mr.. Cannon
brought Mr. Clark forward, so that the
minority could enjoy the best guidance.
And Mr.. Clark SO fully justified Mr.. Can
mons appraisement that when fortune
gave control of the House to the demo-
Gratis but one name was presented for
the speakarship. Mr.. Clark had no COM
petitor for the honor.
And was it felicitous for the platform
makers to claim that the democracy has
restored popular government in the
House of Representatives? If Cannon
ism has disappeared has not Underwood
ism appeared in it's place? Does not the
majority still do business on its own
terms? Does not Mr.. Underwood put
through party measures while you wait?
Does 1t avail anything for Mr.. Mann to
plead for little time for debate? Nay.
Does not government of the majority, for
the majority, by the majority go on as
before, and quite as smoothly as before?
Sure.
Politics? 1t is always uppermost. Reed
ism was protested by the democrats, and
Crispism-the same thing by another
name-followed. Cannonism followed that
in time and now we have Underwoodism
in vigorous form. Does it make any
difference whose OK is gored? There is a
popular belief that it does.

The Third Term, and After.

New York republican asks the ques-
ton, what do the people care about

own part by saying that there Is no
more reason for retiring President than
a government clerk who is serving well.

, thorough examination Of the reason why
the presidency has been set apart by pub
Lie sentiment in the. discussion or long
service in Office.

ment has worked admirably. Some sena-
tors have served six terms. and some rep

If the people desire to bestow the presi-
dency on a man for three or even six
terms it is within their province. 1t is
also within their province to put a man
in the office and keep him there for life.

sthe Office and the spirit of our fnstitu-
stions. Does any good reason exist Tor
such a change? Have we reached point
j, where 'the welfare of the country de-
smands such change?
Another declaration now current is that
the people may change the Constitution
when they SO desire. Certainly. That is
, provided for. Fifteen amendments have
:, been voted since the instrument was
adopted. and Misunderstanding to an in

to the broad purposes of the instrument

changed or nulified?
This, of course. Is the peoples govern

The Burial of the Maine.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Early in March all that is left of the
battleship Maine will he towed to sea and
there, with proper ceremonies, the hulk
will be committed to the Deep" There
is good deal Of sentiment in the
fighting forces of all countries. The
burials of soldiers and sailors are strik-
ing ceremonies appealing to the emotions
and to patriotism. There is sentiment
attaching to an old war vessel which has
stood the stress of storm and battle which
is common to all men. The old Constitu-
ton was saved by landsmen. The meth
cd of disposing Of the Maine will not be
that suggested by Oliver Wendell Holmes
for the Constitution in case the govern
ment should refuse to save the ship. The
Maine will not be given Ito the god OF
storms, the lightning and the gale" but
it will be given burial in the sea, a fitting
grave for a leviathan of the deep.

Pegasus.

They said that Pegasus had wings
And flew above all earthly things.
His nostrils breathed celestial fire,
His pace was timed unto the Tyre.
And SO full oft in mortal pride
Some youth the steed will seek to ride.
With ne'er a thought Of meat and drink
So long as he has pens and ink.
But Pegasus too Oft appears
With shortened wings and lengtheninl
ears;
He does not travel through the sky,
But treads the toughest roads nearby;
And ere he'll bulge. the truth to tell,
Full oft he must be beaten we'll.
And Pegasus seems, as a rule,
To be a patient, plodding mule.

George Washington.

It is the wholesome fashion of the
American people once a year to pause to
consider the character of George Wash
ington. not only to do honor to his men,
DRY by observing his natal day with ap-
propriate ceremonies, but by seeking to
apply to the present problems of society
and of government the wisdom of the first
President as it is preserved in his writ
ings and utterances. Washington was a
wonderfully full man. He had a mind of
remarkable power and versatility, and APP
piled himself to innumerable questions
both large and small He could see mat
tiers in detail and in their larger proper
tions, and the consequence was that his
painstaking records, his letters. his dia-
ries, as we'll as his state papers and pub
lie speeches, were full of sound sugges-
tons and sage advice capable Of standing
the test of time and remaining today ex-
cellent doctrine for the American citizens.
Had George Washington lived in these
times, with all the facilities for frequent
and full communion with the people, he
would probably have addressed himself to
them frequently. He had confidence in
himself, and yet without bumptiousness
or arrogance of opinion. He thought out
his propositions carefully before he sta ted
them, and there was nothing of the po-
litical performer in his outgivings. He
had supreme faith in the new republic,
and with exceptional clearness of vision
he saw the dangers ahead of 1t as we'll as
it's glorious opportunities. Matters had
not progressed far enough when he ceased
active participation In public affairs for
him to recognize the nature Of the prob
lens later to be faced. Indeed, no man
foresaw then the civil war or any serious
conflict of that character But Washing
ton recognized other perils and named
them in terms that admitted of no mis-
take as to his meaning. Great as he was
and distinctly as he understood his own
worth and strength, he knew that he was
not indispensable, and he felt that the
United States could only develop in secur-
ity on the basis of universal participation
in the national affairs. His elf-abnega-
ton at the highest moment of his ca
reer stands as his greatest action and as
his most eloquent tribute to the capacity
of the American people to conduct their
own government and to make their way
among the nations of the world.

The Calvert Street Bridge.

The situation with regard to the CAL

through the action Of the Capital Trac-
ton Company in enjoining the Commits
sioners from proceeding with the altera-
tons which have been undertaken with
a view to making that structure more Sc
cure. At the same time it may be that
this interruption will bring about the
best solution Of the problem. There should
be q new bridge across Rock creek at
Calvert street. large enough to accommo-
date all sorts Of traffic and strong enough
to carry the cars not only OF the line
now using 1t, but if necessary. OF an
other line serving a suburban section not
now supplied, with transportation facili-
ties. Such a bridge should. in fact, have
been erected several years ago. and 1t is
to make this present structure serve as
long as possible, to avoid the need of an
appropriation for a new bridge. 1t has
been an open secret for some time that
the so-called repairs recently undertaken
were in fact of very little structural
benefit to the bridge. giving the ap-
