GEORGE WASHINGTON

ALL over this broad land the I'D of
"A February-W Washington's birthday
is celebrated.
How shall any man add aught to the
praise or eulogy of George Washing
ton? History and biography, eloquence
and poetry have exhausted their com
bined riches upon the successful leader
of the American revolution and the
founder of the American repubhc-our
first great national hero.
Every great crisis in the history of
the world has found its man to control
and guide it. Call this Providence or
accident, the American revolution was
no exception to it. Before the first
murmurs of discomfort were heard in
that struggle the man was being pre-
pared for the crisis. On the banks of
the Potomac and the Rappanhannock,
thirty years before Lexington and Bun
ker Hill, truthful and manly boy was
growing up, ripening into stalwart
young manhood. With only the COM
mon school education of that early day,
the young man was soon being educa-
ted into the broader school of nature
and experience in the great forest,
under the open heavens, with his sur
veyor's chain and his sword, in Indian
wars, defending the frontier settle
ments from savage incursions.
Growing still apace, the manly young
Virginian is soon the leading spirit and
military commander of all that Poto-
mac region, and his skill endurance and
courage in those campaigns swell the
measure of his fame. Then, with his
peace. the young commander lays aside
the sword, marries and settles upon his
inherited country seat at Mt. Vernon and
like his ancestors is now a rich landed
proprietor, a Virginia farmer and
planter and country gentleman. So he
might have remained to the end, had
not the voice of patriotism called him
to take part with his neighbors and the
people of the colonies against the ty-
ranny of the mother country. Wash
ington sat with Jefferson and Richard
Henry Lee and Mason and Pendleton,
colleagues to that first Continental Con-
gress at Philadelphia.
The guns Of Lexington crack, and
their far echoes reach the patriot con-
gress at Philadelphia. They awakened
the colonies to action. 1t had been de-
bate and petition and remonstrance be-
fore-it was war, war for liberty now.
Twenty thousand patriot colonists had
closed in upon the retreating British in
Boston. Who should their leader be?
The hour found the man, and out there
stepped from the Virginia delegation
and advanced to the bar Of the house
to accept his trust, this modest frontier
colonel, legislator and planter-tall inn
posing and commanding in appearance,
his fine form made athletic and sinewy
by long, manly exercise; his judgment
ripened by experience in war and
peace-the very ideal picture of the
hero which the crisis demanded George
Washington, the MAN.
Aside from all questions of scccess or
failure as we look at the man, what
was it that made Washington great? 1t
is clear that it was not the possession
of great or brilliant intellectual facul-
ties. Not in congress or convention,
nor as speaker, writer, or even soldier
were these displayed. Other men have
excelled him in all these ways, but in
word, it was manhood, it was character
it was moral greatness.

Mr.. Young was born in Mad

1888. In 1855 he came with his
parents to this county, who set
tied on a farm about 6 miles
south of Lexington. When still
young man he came to Lexing-
ton and was employed by the late
B. II. Johns, who was engaged
in the livery and transfer bust
ness. Later he entered the part
nership of Chanselor Russell &
Co., livery and transfer.
A few years later he started
the livery business for himself,
and continued for thirty seven
years in the same location. Mr..
Young always kept his equip.
ment in find condition and this
combined with his obliging man
ner assured him a paying busi-
ness throughout all the years.

Twenty years ago your Rep.

there was such contract when

demands it. The Senate has
'peeded up it's own business so
that its deck may be cleared Of
the trust bills, and it may be
ready for any action the nations
situation may then warrant. That
so keen a politician as Mr.. ROOse
welt has called off his proposed
.criticisms of the amateur in the
White House is clear proof OF
the changed status at Wash
lgton. 1t is no longer the thing
o talk about the Democrats cer-
tain loss of the House. If a fl
ancial depression is impending,
the Democrats are not likely to
suffer from it; no Republicans
would have the face to lay this
at their rivals door, though
they have done about as unwar-
ranted things in the past. If any
thing like this should be attempt
ed, the answer can readily be
imagined. 1t will be sufficient
to silence any critic by simply
asking him what he thinks of Mr.
Wilson S handling of the war
situation, and whether at any
period in our history we have
ever had a smootherwOrking
Governmental machinery in a
grave national crisis. 1T is a
record of which the whole coun-
try may justly be proud, and one
that will be all the more credi-
table as time passes.

The Country Indebted to the

Following the Hostilities in

to Sheer at the College Pro
fessor" in the White House.
Washington, D. c., August 81
Two remarkable editorials ap-
peared few days ago in two of
the best known American news
papers. One entitled can Eff
ficient Government" from the
columns of the New York Even
ing Post, and the other appear
ing in the New York World, un-
der the heading president Will
son" tell the story of the recent
work Of the great man who sits
in the White Hous. Both editor
ials are given herewith:
President Wilson.
(From the New York World.)
Fortunately" says the Herald
Eve have at the head of the
Government at this critical time
a man in whose calmneSs and
Judgment we have as great con-
fidence as we have in his patriot
ism. "
"Calmness and judgment. y
Great words, expressing great
qualities. In the terrible storm
of war that has burst over Eu-
rope, Americans have new rea-
son to admire the sense and san
ity of their own chief magistrate
Since autocracy deliberately
plunged civilization into blood,
we hear no more sneers at an
administration that chose "watch
full waiting" in preference to
war. We hear no more express
sions of contempt for the Presi-
dents idealism and for his
theories of service. These theOr-
les are o longer the academic
dreams of the "schoolmaster. " Il
the light OF the worldwide ca
tastrophe of the last ten days
the most blatant jingo in the
United States would not ex-
change Woodrow Wilson for any
European statesman, and the
partisan bigots who professed to
be ashamed of their country have
all been silenced by events.
It is very fine to prattle a.
bout "a vigorous foreign pol
icy," but conscience and SINGER
ity and integrity have their place
IN government despite the Net
ternich legend that still controls
European chancelleries. There
was plenty of vigorous foreign

st. Petersburg; but there was
none of the good faith and com
mon honesty that have shone
through the diplomacy of Wash
ington. In consequence, all of
Europe is directly or indirectly
at war, and it is only in the
United States that the flame of
civilization burns steadily and
brightly
Who doubts that if a man Of
Woodrow Wilson's restraint and
temperament had been at the
head of the German government
this crime of the centuries would
have been averted? Who doubts
either, that if the United States
now had a President Of the
Kaiser's temperament this coun-
try would inevitably be drawn
into the vortex of warY
More than maps will be chang
ed by this conflict, and we our
selves viii be affected by it in
respects that are neither finan-
cial nor commercial. New stand
ards of craftsmanship will be
established IN this country as
the American people contemplate
the terrible results of personal
government and imperialistic am
bitiOns abroad.
To the historian of fifty
years hence the fact that Wood
row Wilson was President in this
crisis may seem no less providen-
tial than the fact that Abraham
Lincoln was President when the
very life of the Union was hang
ing in the balance.
An Efficient Government.
(From the New York Even
ing Post
Whatever of evil the war of
nations may have brought upon
us Americans, the country is in
debted to it for a clear revelation
of the efficiency of the admins
hation of President Woodrow
Wilson. The great machinery 9
government has functioned quick
ly and well. If we have seen in
England a fairly amazing sub
siding of popular passion, but
yesterday threatening civil war
we have witnessed on this side
of the water a similar and a mos
praiseworthy readiness to rise
above partisanship and stand by
the President in his effort to
take i'm all possible sail and rem
der the ship of state as safe as
may be in the hurricane that has
suddenly burst upon it. Quietly
and effectively every disposition
has been made, without the Sigh
est blowing of trumpets or hur-
rahing about it; if anything has
