MERE is no rule to determine
what attitude George Wash
ington would take on the up


permost economic issues to-
day IL he were alive. but 1t is safe to
assume that to these issues he would
apply his plain reasoning and COM
nonsense and that having settled on
a course which his own understand
ing and conscience pointed out as the
proper one. he would not be sweryed
by clamor mass meetings. professions,
rhetoric. pamphlets or any of the
devices employed to direct public
opinion in this day and generation.
George Washington had certain traits
Of nature which We're conceded at one
time or another by nearly all his
contemporaries, and which can be
made out very clearly today by read
ing his public and private papers.
In the first place. he was an honest
man. Then, he was a strong willed
man, which is euphemistic way of
telling that he was stubborn man.
Fills whole career shows only few
instances where he made slight
deviation from his course for the sake
of expediency, and there was nothing
deviations. He was by no means a
compromiser. He was not considered
politician in his own time. and to-
day he probably would not be that
kind of politician who speaks the
sentiments OF organized constituents
instead of his own convictions. Wash
ington was an authoritative and
commanding man, but not magnetic
man. 1t was his plain wisdom and
commonsense which gave him domin-
ion over the minds of SO many early
Americans. Until stimulated to action
or utterance he was a dtiident and
reticent man. and II was this charac-
teristic which caused many of his
enemies to say that he was "austere"
or ''monarchicaw or 'undemocratic'
or "unrepublican."

It Washington had any idea about

his plan for maintaining the peace

by preparing for war in time of
peace. by keeping strong and etfi-

MAKE MEDICAL LAKE
GREAT HEALTH RESORT

Spokane-Medical Lake, Washing
ton will probably be the location of a
big health institute if the plan pro-
posed by eastern capitalists meets
fruition M D. Kelly, a widely
known health scientist, in company
with several Medical Lake residents,
has studied the possibilities of such
an institution and is convinced of
the feasibility. Mr.. Kelly caused an
elaborate analysis of the water of
Medical and Granite Lakes to be
made. He insists that the curative
properties in these waters will rival
the famous Carlsbad and Lick
Springs. He proposes to bring in
$150,000 of eastern capital to add to
$4,000 to be raised by western in
terests. Mr.. Kelly says geographical
ly conditions will add materially to
the health-producing assets found in
the lake waters.

FLYER SAVES MANY LIVES
Ship Strikes Hun Mine and Pilot and
Observer Rescue the
Passengers.

Rome-A heroic incident in the last
few days OF the war has just come to
light through the publication Of an
official dispatch from Durazzo.
An Italian bombing plane returning
from Scutari was flying over San Clio
vanni di Medua when those on board
saw a great column Of water rise 80
miles away.
They thought at once 1T must be due
to mine explosion, and the apparatus
was headed at full speed for the spot.
In fact, an Italian boat had struck a
mine and been blown up. The avia-
tors soon could see persons swimming
among the pieces Of wreckage.
Stopping his motor, the pilot planed
down and began the work of rescue.
Eighteen already were safe on the
wings of the plane in front Of the mo-
tor turret and on the frame of the APP
paratus, but four others were buffeted
by the seas in little boat. There be-
ing no place for them on the plane,
the little boat was tied to its tail and
the plane started for the shore.
The rescued persons had stripped of
their clothes to swim, and the pilot
did the best he could, with his fur
lined jacket and the clothes the OBJ
server could spare.
