George Washington's Example.

lit always seems diHcuit to arouse much
interest in this city i'll the observance OF
Washington birthday in an Inauguration
year, although in all other years the an
niversary is regarded one of the CHIEF
events of the season. This is because OF
the interest which is taken in the cere-
monies of March 4. for which prepare
ions are at this time in progress. Yet
in point Of fact it Is especially appro-
pirate on the eve of an inauguration to
pause TO consider the character and the
career of George Washington with refer
ence to immediate conditions in the re-
public Every citizen should take &C
count of the deeds and words of the first
President as an inspiration to a higher
appreciation of the Office which he held
and which in inauguration year is about

inston's public utterances and writings
bear with peculiar intimacy upon the
problems of today. as they did upon those
Of his own time. His wisdom was uni
versal unlimited by the period in which
he wrought for the establishment and up
holding of the new national institution, at
the head of which he served for eight
years. He saw things with d prophetic
eye. and il is possible to apply his words
to the affairs of today with remarkable
aptitude. Washington's birthday should
always be time of reflection upon the
affairs of the country. the principles upon
which the American republic was found
cd. the manner in which the country has
developed. the extraordinary territorial
growth IL has accomplished. the extension
of its sovereignty far beyond seas the
complete revolution and physical condi-
tons that time has effected. Just at this
juncture there is especial need of that
sort of patriotism that Washington mani
tested throughout this career that conf
denCe in the integrity of American insti-
tutions that sustained him in the dark
hours Of the republics early days. IL ali
citizens would carry themselves toward
national affairs in the spirit that ami
mated George Washington in his life the
United States would today be In no danger
Of decadence or departure from the lofty
purpose OF it's founders.

thrive. When the crooks have been cast
out or reformed, honest men will get
their due and be able to give a square
deal to everybody.
The assurance sounds we'll. but rests
upon a generality. Business men are not
much wiser than a few years ago. when
the trusts were divided into good ana
bad. and the good told not to worry. But
everybody did worry, and the worry con-
tinues. This latest New Jersey ieslsia-
ton does not allay. but rather increases IT,
All our leading questions now are prop
erly called business questions. The tarln'
the trusts, the currency and conserVa-
ton all have to do with money matters
and values. The manufacturer is con-
cerned about new schedules and new GUS
toms rates promised by the incoming
party. Big business. good ana oad' us

are deeply meditative about currency re-
form. and many OF them at present
at sea about it. And conservation touches
many pocketbooks.

great money interests OF the country
needs to be very carefully prepared ana
should be very thoroughly debated IN

Bribery in the ThaW Case

The case Of Harry Thaw, now confined
in the New York State Hospital for the
Criminal Insane. has been a perennial
cause of trouble for other people ever
since the shooting OF Stanford White
Thaw's continued efforts to secure his
release have imposed a great amount of
labor upon state officials and have cost
a large sum Of money as we'll. The latest
development keeps the case true to it's
record. A committee Is now investigat-
ing various departments Of the New York
state administration, and yesterday de-
voted a session to inquiry into charge
that a bride of $4,000 had been offered
TO DR.. John B. Russell superintendent of
the state hospital at Matteawan. where
Thaw is confined. as an inducement for
the release of his prisoner-patient DR..
Russell in his testimony before the COM
mission acknowledged that some months
ago a lawyer. whom he utterly failed to
identify, had offered him $2O.OOO-not
SIS OoO-for Thaw's release. This had
been declined. Later William r. Clark
secretary Of the inquiry commission. went
to Matteawan and. according to Dr. Rus.
sell, importuned him to release Thaw. or
the ground that Gov. Sulzer himself
wished this done. This statement Clark
has denied In testimony. as far as the use
of the governors name is concerned. but
DIR. James ". May, head OF the state hos
pitaI committee. testified yesterday that
Clark had used the governors name In
conversation with him about Thaw's re.
lease. The governor himself in turn a.

he ever authorized the use of his name

Local Projects of Importance.

Senator Martins confidence that the
provision for the memorial bridge, thai
has been adopted by the Senate commit
tee and will doubtless be accepted by the
Senate itself, will be in turn accepted by
the House, is probably based upon infor-
nation as to the state of sentiment a,
the south end of the Capitol on this sub
ject. The matter is not a new one. IL
has been frequently discussed in both
houses, and has more than once been sent
into conference with the Senate uphold
ing and. the House resisting provision
for the bridge construction. The House
has less ground for resistance now than
heretofore, owing to its action in agreeing
to the Lincoln memorial. of which the
memorial bridge is so obviously a con-
tiguous feature.
II the memorial bridge paragraph and
other features carried by the public
buildings bill in it's present form are en-
acted into law the District will fare ex-
ceptionally well this year in the matter
of provision for it's development. The
most important item carried by the bill
outside of the memorial bridge is that
which provides for the purchase OF land
to connect Rock Creek and Potomac
parks. This Is urgently needed without
further delay, inasmuch as each year
renders more difficult the task of reclaim
ing the lower Rock Creek valley from its
decolate condition and throwing it into
the park chain in which 1t naturally be-
longs. At present this valley territory
is a disgrace to the capital. BY the
adoption of the mode of treatment rec
commended by the park commission it will
be possible to put the two great reserva-
tons into relationship and transform an
eyesore into one of the most attractive
features of Washington.
Two other items carried by the bill are
of exceptional local interest and impor-
tance, one for the construction Of an
armory for the District National Guard
and the other for the erection of a me-
mortal to George Washington on the odd
Pennsylvania railroad station site, this
building to be used for the accommoda-
ton of conventions and patriotic gather
ings. Both of these buildings are urgently
required, and it would be a great boor
to the capital if the pending bill brought
them TO the point of construction.
Seldom has public buildings bill been
laid before the Senate with so many meri-
torious local features, and the District
will watch its course through the last
days of the session with the keenest
concern. born of desire tor the carry ex-
ecution of plans for WashngIon's devel-
opment which must be ultimately under
taken.

George Washington.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Literary reactions in the estimate Of
George Washington at once suggest his
greatness and emphasize the truth that
greatness is an indefinable quality He
has been exalted beyond the topmost
heights OF heroism and depressed be-
low the level of ordinary justice Criti-
cism has undulated from untempered
panegyrics into captions and hyper
critical censure Biography i'm one
mood has made Washington little lower
than the angels, and in another has
hardly given his substance outside
school copybooks. 1t is this mysterious
element in his character, which so
many historians have tried to pene-
trate. that testfies Washington's great
ness. His claim stands not in some
sublime oddity or wonderful stroke. 1t
is rather that of a well poised and
thoroughly balanced nature.

Nathan B. Golf.

The new senator from West Virginia
will fill his office with ease and distinc-
ton. He is of senatorial size. He has
had a large experience in politics. AL
though long on the bench, he has, or
course. kept up his interest In political
events, and is abreast of the issues of
today.
Seldom is a protracted deadlock broken
so advantageously for both party
and public. The situation at Charleston
had grown not only discouraging, but
almost hopeless. Nothing seemed Hkelier
than that there would be either no choice,
or colorless one.
Instead. a choice was made, and it fell
upon the strongest man available. With
out disparaging the claims to considera-
ton Of the other men in the contest-the
men around whom the contest was waged
it may be said that Judge Golf was
most happy solution OF the difficulty.
The West virginians are to be con-
graduated because the commission has
been so we'll bestowed. Their latest Sc
lection will rank among the best they
have ever made for duty in the Senate.
Judge Golf is Of them. knows their in
terests. and will do his best for them.
The country at large is to be congratu-
lated because, at time when the Consti-
tuition is SO much under discussion and
so many changes in laws are proposed.
here il a man who knows that instru-
ment well. and for years has been inter-
preting laws under 1t from the bench.
He will contribute to the Senate debates
on constitutional and law questions mat
ter from full and trained mind. He is
too well seasoned for fads. but not hard
ened against real progress.
The republicans of the country are to
be congratulated because this election Is
assurance that there Is life in the old
party yet. and that 1t is still capable un-
der the proper pressure and appeal of
wisdom and courage. West Virginia in
the turmoil of last year was rocked as
the other republican states were; and the
issue at the polls there looked doubtful
to the very close of the campaign
But there was a ral1ying at the end
and the old party triumphed. And there
was A rallying at the end Of the senate
rial fight. and the best man triumphed-a
man of the out-and-out republican school.
and who in the Senate will support out

Now. as the republicans of West vir-
ginia have had such "a happy issue out
of all their Affections" why may not re-
publicans elsewhere by patience and con-

Why not at least try the West Virginia
recipe and see II it will not produce re-
suits worthy the republican record of bet
ter days?

How splendid was the fame you won
A nations hope, nations pride.
A nations strength, personified!
Yet when we now repeat your name.
With trifles we record your fame.
And say. with patronizing sigh,
"Ah, yes! George could not tell lier'
We do not tell of glory won
BY sacrifice and deeds we'll done:
We do not count the weary nights
OF toilsome march to freedoms heights.

Some bit Of lore that Fancy weaves.

Enforcing the Law.
a the Chicago Journal

For more than seven years Mr. Roose-
welt roared from the White House that
the criminal clause of the Sherman anti
trust law could not be enforced. 1t never
was enforced-whi1e Mr.. Roosevelt was
in office. Sentences recently imposed on
officials of the turpentine trust and cash
register company go to show that the
criminal clause of the Sherman act can
be enforced whenever officers of the law
want to enforce it. Juries will convict
trust officials against whom is brought
satisfactory evidence and judges Of lower
courts will infiict Jail sentences.
