SPEAKER DEFENDS
WASH|NGTON'S SINS
Danced Virginia Reel, Liked a
JuIep, and Bet on Ponies,
But Was Religious, Says
Champ Clark.

George Washington as the soldier.
statesmen. Constitution framer, Presi-
dent. dancer of the Virginia reel. con-
sumer of an occasional mint iulep, and
bettor on horse races, was the subject
of a frank and interesting speech by
Speaker Champ Clark at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church toda.
Speaker Clark told the large congre-
cation that George Washington was q
religious man. despite the fact that he
sometimes swore under stress. and that
he should be judged by the standards
of his time rather than those OF today.
That Warrington overtops all men who
have wrought things In this world was
'ontendcd by the Speaker.
"lf had carte blanche to appropriate
ns my own the fame of any Of the tccm-
ing sons of Adam, / would unhesitating-
ly select that of Washington" he said.
Soldier and Presiednt.
Reviewing tributes to Washington as
the soldier and First President. Speaker
Clark said:
"Those were tremendous services. hut
in my Judgment his most important
labor in behalf OF his country and the
cause Of liberty was performed IN the
Constitutional convention, Of which he
was president The chances are If he
had not been president of that conven-
ton, and it had not been for his ccm-
manding influence, there never would
have been any Constitution or Republic.
Even as 1t was. so intense was the
jealousy of the States that for long
time it seemed impossible that there
could be any agreement on the funda-
mental law of the land"
washington was throughly human
and no doubt sometimes sinned." said
the Speaker, leading up to his remarks
about the reputed prediction of the
first President to drink mint julep or
bet on horse race. II am glad he
possessed the ordinary passions of man
and did sometimes sln-for 1t shows we
belong to the same breed that he nd
which is great honor to the rest Of
AS"
Speaker Clark said one Of the marked
features Of Washington's character was
his religious disposition. The Speaker
said it seemed queer to him that artists.
preachers. historians, and biographers
have made so little use of the scene
where he was on his knees in the
snowy woods of Valley Forge praying
to God for succor for his naked and
starving army. while CORVALLIS and
his well-fed soldiers were making merry
in their camps.
''That may have been-who knows?-
the turning point in the war;" said
Speaker Clark
