Again is here the anniversary of the
birth of George Washington-a legal
holiday from Porto Rico TO the Philip
pines. and a notable day to the 1907
100000 who are carrying the English
language around the globe, as we'll as
to all civilized peoples.
Washingtons place in history has
long been fixed. II he is not the
greatest man of all time 1t is not pos
sible to name greater This is the
Judgment of civilization and has stood
unchanged during the years since his
death
Nevertheless. history has done
Washington a great wrong. Unable
to find in him the imperfections of hui
manity, it cast aside his humanity
and re-created him as an impersonal
superman, as far removed from flesh
and blood as are his marble statues
This dedication OF Washington is a
thing that we American must undo.
Weighed in the balance as flesh and
blood he loses not one jot or title,
but rather gains in greatness. while
we gain a human Father of this Coun-
try. For George Washington. in spite
of history, was as human as any son
of Adam.
The proof that Washington was very
human-a man OF full blood and hot
temper, sensitive modest and doubt
full of his capacity. fond of the good
things of life as he saw them and re-
luctant to give them up even at the
call of duty-is ready for the asking

himself-not so much in those state
documents in which he was more or
less on parade-as in the thousands
of intimate pages of diaries and let
tiers. Let the student once forget
Washington the demigod. and Wash
ington the man springs TO life from
these writings And there is abun
dant corroboration-if 1t were needed
in the writings of his contempora-
ries.
Delving into Washington's papers In
search OF the real man. we come upon
all sorts OF little things that show
him to have been very much like the
rest of us In many ways. We have
space for but these:

This controversy and the fact that the

ANOTHER PROTEST

grade newspapers. continue to publish
such rubbishy stuff?
J They believe--and why wouldn't IT
hurt?-that that's what women want
But why don't they observe what women
are doing in their clubs and in their
homes, and then try to meet the new
demand?
Such problems-mores the pity-must
be met and solved in many life, but
they are not for public solving and not
for public interest
Nobody can make some of us believe
that women, the kind who count in the
newspaper eye, really care for those
awful letters signed Anxious Wife, "
"Despondent" and the like. And the
feature that really disturbs us is-who
is it that thinks we enjoy them or can
look upon them without sense OF dis
gust?
Women have their hcartbrcaks and
their woes but they do not want to air
them in the daily newspaper or to read
letters about mddIe-aged married women
who have lost their heads over young
married or unmarried men, plaintively
asking what 10 do. imploring a bit or
advice-is il right or is II wrong!
Yet in departments conducted in the
supposed interest Of women, there are

sickeningly unwelcome to the average
woman. They can remain unread. 1T is
true; but that is not the point. The
point is that they are there at all, ad-
dressed to women, and supposedly meet
ing the wants and the needs Of women.
1t would not matter so much az the
same foolish folk who get them up pre-
pared the rest of the paper. But indeed
no, The rest of the paper is designed
by intelligent men, for intelligent read

They are not sentmentally told how to
mend a broken heart. how TO keep
heart from breaking, and are not graVely
advised in all sorts of absurd. personal
problems Their intelligence, their judg-
ment and their newspaper taste are
more flatteringly taken for granted.
And women are patiently asking how
much longer il will be before they snail
be as pleasantly taken for granted.
For SO long as some newspapers con-
tinue to publish the most absurd discus

meant for women readers-women VIII

Most of us are quite strong in oui

cussion of affairs, enjoy the, sidelights
on human nature and revel in the edu-
cational features it presents.
But once in a while we read such
strange discussions in a newspaper. And
then we feel disposed to ask who in
the world can possibly be at the helm
sanctioning the foolish stuff.
In a newspaper published away down
South the question was gravely asked
and as gravely answered:
do Mysteries profit woman in her
efforts to control man."
And as the questions and answers were
read. the dominant thought was of
family skeletons. for IL seemed that II

dignity, and not impressed at all by a
simple request in frank, open way.
And il may be true-quite likely it is
that there are a few women who are
willing to adopt the most remarkable
tactics for the sake of getting what they
want.
But whether ii is true or whether it is
false it is hardly a subject for news
paper discussion. For the newspaper in
question does not even view it as a
matter to be deplored. just looks upon it
as one of the human topics that
women like TO read about. runs il with
