AS WASHINGTON WAS PA
TENT.

The observance Of Washing
ton s birthday recalls to us year
by year the patience and faith
and courage with which he liv-
ed the dark years Of the revo-
lutionary war. The dullest and
most matter-of-fact history of
this period throws a clear light
upon these characteristics OF
Washington. No man ever more
truly carried the fate of nation
upon his shoulders. He strove
against disappointment, disaster,
lack of funds and material, in
efficient on disaffected aids,
English propaganda at least as
strong as the German propa-
ganda of the last few years, and
through it all he looked forward
with high faith and courage to
the ultimate destiny Of the Unit
ed States.
After the war a task of the
utmost difficulty confronted him
in the rehabilitation of a country
worn by war, lacking financial
credit at home and abroad and
disturbed by fractional difference
ed. Here also his wisdom and
patience brought their results.
It is directly to him that we owe
our lives of comfort and liberty.
We are again in time of re-
construction after war. Our prob
lens are different from those
which confronted Washington
and his time. but no less disturb
ing. 1t is for us to attempt to
meet these problems with his
spirit Of foresight and patience
and wisdom. SO shall we behold,
as he did, greater and more
beneficient America.

A new star has risen upon the
political horizon in the shape OF
the Labor party now forming in
many cities throughout the coun-
| try. 1t is a question whether it
will fade away as many new stars
do, or become firmly fixed in the
national armament For support
the new party looks toward the
labor unions. 1t Incorporates in
its platform large number OF
planks, one of which calls for
government ownership OF rail
roads, mines, telegraphs, tele-
phones, stock yards, grain ele-
vators and other public utilities.
The platform also seeks demo
cratic control Of industry and
commerce; democratic control of
education; complete equality of
men and women in government
and industry; curb OH the pow
er. of the Supreme Court to de
clare laws unconstitutional; rep
resentation Of labor in all gov
eminent departments, all com
missions and agencies of recon
stltlction; no compulsory mill
tary training; increased tax ON
incomes, inheritances, profits
and land values. - 1t is difficult to
judge what appeal these and
other radical changes called for
may make to the feeling of the
country. And in this time of
change and unrest it is doubly
hard to make prediction. Only
time will show us how. far the
conservative labor elements of
-he nation are prepared to go.
