Mh statesman, more than any
other American. Washington
has suffered from tradition,
writes John D. Barry in the Washing
ton Timer
In fact, can't think of any other
great man in the history OF the world
who mas heen damaged in just the
same way, through being made to ap-
pear so good.
The reason is that he has been pre-
eminently the children's hero.
He is q distinguished victim of the
deceit we practice on children in the
name Of education.
Only the very good boys and girls
care for the stcry of Washington and
the cherry tree.
The others, the majority. are bored.
or amused. or puzzled.
And then there is the saying, dinned
INTO the ears of American childhood.

gence and to mature character.
1t derives its beauty largely from
association with other qualities more
sympathetic.
Do Real Damage 60 Truth.
Selfassertive truth-tellers often
seem rigid in character. They do
great damage to truth by making 1t
seem, not beautiful. as it should be,
but hideous.
Even In minds OF maturity, to the
reputation of Washington there still
clings suggestion of the comic.
Thaekeray did not help the situation
when he introduced the youthful
Washington into "The virginians" as
highly self-conscious and priggish
colonial.
There Is q fine chance for q new
historian Of Washington, one who viii
bring out the real man.
Owen Wister made start some
years ago. when he published little

human qualities. But the book was

Washington in the making of this ma
ton and on the attitude of Washing
ton toward the future OF this nation.
i Washington Seer.
Since the Spanish war the Farewell
Address, once a classic and apparent
" just about as much alive as most
classics, has fallen into disfav0r. We
don't hear of its being pointed to
with pride" as often as we did.
Perhaps if we do go back TO It we
shall find that Washington, besides
being q soldier and statesman, was
seer.
And seer IS much more interesting
than a little boy that chops down q
cherry tree or man that has never
told lie.
A seer has way of projecting him
self into the future and finding new
life there.
AS prophet Washington Is vital
force today. But he is a force that
has been consciously and deliberately
disregarded.
Washington. the hero of Valley
Forge. was essentially a man OF peace.
He saw that the happiness and secu-
rity of this country lay. just as the
happiness of an individual did, In a
policy Of noninterference.
And as soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore
saw complications,

| life were aristocratic should be re
garded as the father OF American de-
mocracy.
And to the present-day point Of view
1t is all the more strange when we re-
call the reproach made against Wash
ington that "the great Virginian held
slaves"
But Washington, to be judged fair
ly, like everyone else, must be consid-
cred with reference to his time and
surrounding conditions.
Washington deserves little credit for
not yielding to the temptations to as
sert his aristocratic lineage by becon-
ing tory. He was directly affected
by the unfair attitude of the mother
country in imposing taxation without
representation. What he did was a
natural outcome of what he was
Where he did merit the highest honor
was in his rising so magnificently to
his responsibilities and opportunities.
A man selfish and arrogant might have
exacted more for himself, might have
striven to establish himself as per-
manent power over the nation he had
helped to create. But there is no evil
dence that Washington ever felt such
temptation. Aristocrat as he was
and STAKEHOLDER. he was all the more
extraordinary in being able to turn
from the prejudices of his training to
a realization of the democratic ideal.
Perhaps we can reach a little clear
er understanding OF what Washington
was and Of what he did by placing
him In our own time. It was as il, at
the present time, man of distin-
guished position and of wealth. were
to become leader In the labor move
ment. For, frcm the point of view of
England, the colonials were humble
folk, mainly til'ers of the field, work
ers in small enterprises. To their
cause Washington gave dignity. as
we'll as marvellous personal courage.
With his tattered, half-fed, poorly
trained troops he defeated the pro-
fessional soldiers of England and the
Hessian mercenaries. He had, Of
course, the superlative advantage of
being sustained by the power of sub
lime moral idea, all the more effective
because 1t was opposed by the weak
ness that goes with self-conscious and
c0Rtemptuous superiority.
Really Deserves More Credit.
Washington has not been accorded
by the world the credit he deserves
for his share in establishing democ-
racy as a working force In q nation.
We are likely to forget that democ-
racy, while he fought for 1t, was not
accepted by the world as practicable.
To few it was beautiful theory, an
ideal To the many It was impracti-
cable, denial of what they regarded
as the natural unfltness of human be-
ings in large masses to govern them
selves. From France, mainly through
Rousseau. had come the great demo
cratic theory But France had yet to
seek its establishment In the blood of
the French revolution.
Our next Washington is not likely
to be soldier-statesman. He will not
lead in a war between nations or be.
tween foes identified with any geo.
graphical limits. He will give dignity
and conference and organization to
cause now in need Of powerful cham
pion. He will strive, not against taxa
tion without representation. but
against production without fair com.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The annual meeting Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce Tuesday evening at
s o'clock at City hall promises to be
an interesting one and to be largely
attended. The reports of the officers
for the past year will be made ut this
time and the new officers elected. The
manner of distributing the new wat
erville signs viii be taken UP at this
time, and another thing Of importance
to come up will be the visiting squad
ron which has been talked up but SO
far no action has been taken. Two
plans will be put before the meeting
and they will doubtless oe acted upon.
1t is proposed for members of the
Chamber to visit the outlying. towns
Of the county and call upon the peo-
pie there and get oester acquainted
with them and find out what can be
done to bring the people CT the city
into closer contact with the people N
the territory adjacent to Watervsile
to the benefit Of both. 1t is felt that
if a better acquaintance can be esiab-
lished better business relations can be
made and that the result. will be for
the good of all. There are also sever
al other things to be considered at this
meeting and it promises to be lengthy
one and to mean much to the people
