Second ThOtS on Geo. WashinQtOn
by JAY T.. HOUSE.

Geferal Washington was spery
excellent and able gentleman who
happened along ut the psychological
moment and was thus enabled to en-
roll his name on the scroll Of fame.
The citizens OF this country pretend
to revere him. hut az matter ot
fact, nobody thinks much about him
one way or another. General Wash
ington Is too remote. and his deedu
too commonplace, aS compared with
those OF our modern heroes to inn
part much of thrill TO a sophisti-
Gated and stated generation. II takes
Doug Fairbanks to do that.
II George Washington we're alive
today he would he looked upon with
scorn and contempt by two-thirds OF
his fellow countrymcn. He was an
artistocrat and a landed proprietor
OF considerable wealth for his day
and generation. Probably General
Washington never realized that tho
time would come In the country OF
which he was the proud father when
the good fortune OF arlstocratic birth
and easy, affluent circumstance
would be construed as an offense
against them by fully onc-hslf OF his
children. General Washington was
n stakeholder. He tool a drink when
he liked It. being particularly fond
OF "A certain brand Of tAoddy The
ladies allured him. and he carried on
harmless flirtRtions with some Of
them. He wore good clothes and
his stockings were Of silk. Except
for a little odd Job OF surveying for
the state OF Virginia. he never did
any work. His business was that OF
being landed proprietor and that.
In those days, was comparatively an
easy job. There wasn't "A thing about
the man what would have appea led
to the voters OF this generation. To-
day, II he were alive and needed the
job, he couldn't be elected dog pelter
OF Fairfax county. Va. His rec
ord would damn him.

He never got privately drunk at the
dinner Of friend and then criti-
clsed the friend In public for serving
liquor IN his home. He would not have

The Generals WIFE

General washington's wife was
named Martha. Her pictures, par
ucularlY those printed In the school
histories, indicate that ahe suffered
from goiter. She was an educated,
refined. cultured and highly re-
spected woman who never was
emancipated. and died n slave. She
never voted, never made speech
for the Cause. and probably never
served on committee. II is likely.
altho history II not clear on that
particular point. that she took the
hide offn George every once I'm a
while. She probably fusAed when
