MANY JEALOUS

HE fame of George Washing

and critic directed against
him. Today his name is rev.
erenced beyond that of any other
American and 1t is hard to realize that
Tor the great deeds he had accom-
plished he should have made great
many enemies, who tried by every
means to blacken his character and
break his popularity with the people.
The custom of celebrating February
Y In honor of Washington's birthday
dates back to 1888. On that day and
year number of gentlemen who ad-
mired him met In tavern in New
York. One had written an ode and
another brought a 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
of the bonfires and the barbecues. the
bell ringing, the cannonading. the
feasting, etc., which came In from
every town In the land"
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

carefully avoid the use OF the word

But Washington paid no attention to
the willful misconstructlon OF his most
innocent acts. In 1796 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 had now changed. In
1850 and 1902 every man was for him.
In 1796 In every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
IN aristocrat. as monocrat as an
Anglomnniac. Yet much as his popu-
iarlty suffered It was still great and
powerful and thousands Of men In the
republican party would gladly have
seen him seated for the third time,
but he refused. and on Sept. II made
public his farewell address.
His critics stated that the reason he
refused to be a third-time candidate
was said to spring from knowledge
that he would not be elected, not from
want of ambition or lust of power.
The republicans favored Adams,
