THE TWO BILLS

Cannot Mr.. Bryan descry looming
up before him the "dry New York
Democrat" whose aid he is seeking
for the conquest of the Empire
State? 1t is the "Same Old Bill"
Sulzer-none else. Imposing, nay,
awe inspiring, there he stands, that
prohibition party governorship in
dorsement in his upraised hand.
Bryan and Sulzer-what a pair to
drive the water wagon ruthlessly not
only over New York State but even
over the entire country! The very
thought is enough to make the pretty
ladies on the grape juice advertise
menJs abandon themselves to hyster-
ical weeping. Had ever fair maidens
such knight errants as these two
Bills?
The Washington times., 1917-02-22
POOR GEORGE WASHINGTON

1t is painful to find the Louisville
Courier-Journal,' in this day of per-
vading sweetness and dazzling light,
bringing up the pre-reform days
when rude humanity ate with its
knife. 1t may indeed be that George
Washington and several of his sue
cessors in the Presidency were ad-
diets of this distressing habit. Alas!
it has been known for some time that
the person in question drank alco-
holic beverages, was a capitalist,
was rather deaf in the ear on the
side of the common people and made
a poor pacifst. Under these circum-
stances it is not surprising to hear
the use to which he put his case
knife, and the advanced folk of today
will feel that their judgments of him
are confirmed.
No doubt some ultra-conservative
will come out with the cry that "if
Washington were alive today" he
would still convey nourishment to the
mouth with his trusty blade, and
that all good Americans ought to
go back to the old way. This would
be a terrible step backward. Never,
let US hope, will it be taken by an
advancing people.
The mere fact that Washington's
knife delivered the food where it was
needed as well as would a fork
counts for nothing. 1t is a question
of civilization, not of efficiency. Down
with the knife, the symbol of hard,
trenchant, violent force! Up with
the fork, the symbol of many
pronged compromise and edgeless
popularity! To some of our leaders
of today it must give mighty COM
fort to reflect that the lowliest pro-
hibitionist, pacifist laborer feeding
his face with a fork is higher in the
human scale than was the best man
in the land 118 years ago. How the
world has moved
The Washington times., 1917-02-22

One hundred and twenty-one years
ago today the House of Representa-
tives refused to adjourn for half
hour for its members to pay their
respects TO Washington. The same
year he was denounced by Tom
Paine as a man "treacherous in pri-
vate friendship and a hypocrite in
public life. The world will be puz-
zled to decide whether you are an
apostate or an impostor; whether
you have abandoned good principles
or whether you ever had any,"
An American newspaper suggested
that the day of Washington's retire
ment should be "a day of jubilee, for
the man who is the source of all the
misfortunes of our country is this
day reduced to the level of his fellow
citizens and is no longer possessed of
power to multiply evils upon the
United States" Yet Washington
seems to have outlived his traducers
in the judgment of history.
