THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME

On this. the anniversary OF the olrtNl
of George Washington, admittedly one
OF the strongest and most dlStin-
y7,ished characters connected with the
birth of liberty and the erection o.!
this proud American nation. many OF
his characteristics will be reverted to
and applied TO present conditions. we
are again. after attaining TO great 4uS-
tiness and wealth,tin a struggle similar
to that we engaged in ar our birth.
for the preservation Of the liberties
and freedom We secured through the
leadership OF Washington. And SIN
gularly enough We are reaching foGth
to succor the, England we rebelIed
AGAINST. But Great Britain today IS not
the British tyrant il was in 1Ilb. The
wears have changed her aS they have
advanced Us. Ii is her navy today
that stands between us and the crush
ing fall of the Iron Hand OF a grasp
ing and greed consuming Germany.
But there is another coincidence born
Of this world war that commands a
different reflection. If France had
not come 70 the rescue of Washington
We should no, have prevailed against
Ensland-at least al that critical
time. Now it is our privilege TO repay
the large debt Of gratitude We owe
the liberty loving French people. The
old order has passed away. Botn
France and England are sister de-
mocracies today. and tho old enmitIns
are forgotten. and all three are united
under one flag and one purpo$e-the
flag of humanity and tho cause Of the
common liberty Of all peoples Of the
world.
Those pacitstS without vision were
fond Of quoting Washington at the out
set of this conflict against "cntangl!ng
alliances" but this is not an alliance.
but a league for our own safety. II
WASHINGTON were alive today he would
have been the first 10 have raised his
voice for armed resistance 10 the mo-
mace OF the ambitious Kaiser. There
can be no doubt that his benedlctlon
rests upon US today. Any contrary
thought Of him would b. sacriieGc
OF his memory.

So powerful was the influence Of the
textile industries, when the question
of a tariff on dyes came up before Con
cress. that it was impossible effective
" to protect and thus develop the in
dustry in this country. The textile
men were content TO buy their dyes
from Germany because Germany cut
the prices 10 point which prevented
anyone in this country from attempt
ing their manufacture. Then the war
cut off our dye supply. and the textile
men found themselves paying rates
which would more than have made up
the differences caused by protection
for the next hundred years, even pro-
vided the development Of the industry
here did not lower prices, which has
generally been the case. Now our
textile men have seen the light. and
we will not hear any complaint from
them with regard TO protection, but
il will require legislation from the
party of protection. the Republicans
70 give US really protective rates.
Meanwhile the war is serving that
function. 1t is a prime lesson.
