PAID TRIBUTE
TO Great man

n I WAS on September 10, 1896
that Washington issued his fare.
we'll address to the American PEG
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 it's 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 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
sembled to see the second inaugural

watched Adams. All eyes were bent
upon that great figure In black velvet
with a 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 if for
the last time, upon this multitude of
nameless friends. No one ever saw
him so moved. The tears rolled I'M
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.

MANY JEALOUS
OF WASHINGTON

"H HE fame of George Washing
ton lived down every criticism
and critic directed against
him. Today his name is rev.
erenced beyond that of any other
American and it is hard to realize that
for 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
% in honor of Washington's birthday
dates back to 1888. On that day and
year number of gentlemen who ad-
mired him met in a 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
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 a 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
not 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
the willful misconstruction of his most
innocent acts. In 1906 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
1889 and 1892 every man was for him.
In 1906 in every town and city of the
land were men who denounced him as
an aristocrat, as monocrat, as an
Anglomaniac. Yet much as his popu-
larity 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 third-time candidate
was said to spring from a knowledge
that he would not be elected, not from
a want of ambition or lust of power.
The republicans favored Adams,
whom. they said, had the simplicity
Of republican. but Washington had
the ostentation Of an eastern pasha.
When. however. 1t was known that
