washington as a Business Man.

Washington was man of extraordi-
nary activity. 1t was his custom to
rise at o'clock. aad he claimed that
a great deal of his work was done
while others slept. My manner of
living" he wrote. "is plain. and l do
not mean to be put out by it,
1t was said of him. AT the time of
his marriage it is no great strain of
metaphor to say that Washington had
now his first chance to sit down since
the days when he had pored over his
school copybook." After the war and
his first term as president Washington
found his estates run down and un-
profitable. yet he so redeemed his for
tunes by his application to his affairs
and by good business Judgment that
he died the second richest man in
America at that time.-ChrIstian Her

PAID TRIBUTE

Ut WAS on September 10. 1916.
that Washington issued his fare
well address to the American peo-
pie. AS Washington's second
term drew to a close the public once
more turned to him with confidence
and affection and would have had him
take the presidency a third time, to
keep the government steady In its new
ways But he would not have the
hard office again. Then he issued his
final address. which, he said. was de
signed in more special manner for
the yeomanry of the country" and
spoke the advice he hoped they might
take to heart.
When the day came on which he
should resign his office to John Adams,
the great civilian who was to succeed
him. there was a scene which left no
one In doubt. not even Washington
himself, what the people thought of
the leader they had trusted these
twenty years. A great crowd was as
sembed to see the second Inaugural
ton. but very few of the throng
watched Adams. All eyes were bent
upon that great figure In black velvet
with light sword swung at his SIDE
No one stirred until he had left the
room. to follow and pay his respects
to the new president.
Then they and all the crowd IN the
streets moved after him, an immense
company going as one man, sin total
silence" his escort all the way. He
turned upon the threshold of the presi-
dents lodgings and looked. as IL for
the last time. upon this multitude OF
nameless friends. No one ever saw
MIN so moved. The tears rolled un-
checked down his cheek. and when at
last he went within great smothered
common voice went through the
stirred throng, as If they sobbed to see
their hero go from their side forever.

HE fame of George Washing

and critic directed against
him. Today his name Is rev.

American and 1t is hard to realize that
for the great deeds he had accom-
piished he should have made great
many enemies. who tried by every
means to biacken his character and
break his popularity with the people.
The custom of celebrating February
22 In honor of Wnshington's birthday
dates back to 1888. On .that day and
year a number of gentlemen who ad-
mired him met In tavern In New
York. One had written an ode and
another brought list of toasts. The
celebration at once became popular
and ,the historian says: March was
far gone before the Gazettes and Ad-
vertisers ceased to publish narratives

feasting. etc. which came in from

Washington "Aristocrat."
But there was considerable part
of the community who looked upon
these celebrations with hidden rage.
a writer In the Pasadena Star-News
observes. These consisted mostly of
the admirers of France and the new
republic. and they claimed that the
president was an aristocrat Was he
moi cold and reserved? Did he not
carefully avoid the use Of the word
"servant" when he signed his letters?
But Washington paid no attention to
&fse wilifuI msconstruction OF his most
innocent acts. In 1896 for the first
time In the history of the country the
Office OF president was open to COM
petition. Twice had Washington been
chosen by the unanimous vote of the
electoral college and twice inaugural
ed with the warmest appreciation of
the whole people.
But the times Ind now changed In
17S9 and 1892 every man was for him.
In 17a6 In every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
an aristocrat. as a monocrat. as an

OF
 EXPORT TRADE
 LOWERS PRICES

Reports come from wholesale trade centers of a considerable price de- cline in food stuffs> This is the nat ural reaction from the checking of export trade. For nearly six years Europe has been plunging deeper into debt, importing great quantities of supplies for which it was able to pay only by signing notes, or offering Appreciated currency. The fall in ex change has at last compelled them to face the specter of bankruptcy For the first time they now fully realize their position. They have at last per- ceived that they can not go on bor- rowing indefinitely, that they must stop buying more goods than they can pay for by the export of other goods.
 The resultant check to United States export trade will do this coun- try no harm. It will help production catch up with consumption. Thus it will tend to check pref1teering and the result must soon be apparent in

some reduction in prices to the con sumer.
 It was significant that J. H. Thomas, head of the English rail- way labor unions, came cut the other day with a strong statement, show ing that greater production is the only remedy for the worlds troubles. Many of the labor leaders have not seemed able to grasp that truth. They have seemed to think that some great reserve of wealth could be drawn from, for the doubling of wages at the same time that working hours were cut down. The result was the only possible one, an increase in living costs directly propertionate to wage advances and the reduction of production.
 If the labor leaders of Europe are able to see that production must in crease to solve the worlds difficulties, the economic situation will soon show improvement. Supply will equal de mand, competition will check prof. teering, and extravagant prices in America will be regulated by reason able prices in Europe.
 Lower prices of food-stuffs means temporary hardship to the farmers aut it is the inevitable first step in rricking the bubble of imitation.
