WASHINGTON, THE AMERICAN

One-hundred and twenty-four years
have passed since George Washington,
in simple, touching letter Of advice,
caution and benediction, gave to Con-
gress his farewell message; confess
ing that his career had not been with
out errors of judgment, beseeching
Providence that these errors might
not be harmful to his country and
asking for no other reward than to
partake "in the midst of my fellow
citizens, the benign influence of good
laws under a free government, the
ever favorite object of my heart"
In such words, cleaning with the
devotion of a strong man to a. life
time ideal, stand revealed that spirit
of magnanimity, that simplicity OF
character and subordination Of self
which has given to posterity the mem-
ory of a man whose place in Ameri-
can hearts and minds is unshakable.
Washington was not blessed with
exceptional natural endowments. Less
brilliant in mental gifts than some;
not gifted with eloquence, incapable
of making a speech; yet he possessed
that rare balance of large powers
which brought from Lowell the trib-
ute "the imperial man."
What was the intangible something
which gave Washington the conf
dence of his fellow-citizens and makes
his memory today, an ideal of true
Americanism? Others could grasp
large ideas; execute small details;
vet their memory is dimmed by the
mists of obscurity while his leader
ship is unquestioned.
The secret lies in his subordina-
ton of self to an ideal. the supreme
magnanimity and great-heartedness
which made the leading men OF his
time trust him implicitly. No selfish
thoughts of personal gain marred his
leadership; no page Of history records
more clearly his endurance, fortitude
and resolution than the terrible win
ter at Valley Forge, and no better
illustration of his never failing cour- ;
age can be given than his cheerful
ness in the face of political intrigue.
He was a man of the people, in

TAKE AND GIVE BACK

The taxpayers of. Missouri suppor
the University and send their son.
and daughters to it because of ar
ideal. That ideal is education. Ths
University has been a success so fal
as it fulfills that ideal.
From casual survey of the school,
life and activities one might think
that the prime purpose of the school
was to give the student a good time
for four years. For large part, the
talk and thought of the student is
about good times. Athletics and So
cial affairs. are the topics of CONVEX
sation in all circles. Dances, parties,
Open-houses, football, basketball and
meets seem to be the vital issues of
the day. A football mass meeting
will fill the auditorium while a de-
bate-something supposed to have an
intellectual flavor-will bring out only
few. In the corridors, on the cam
pus, in the fraternity and sorority
houses studies are mentioned-if men
toned at all-with a shrug of the
shoulders and a sigh.
This condition is to be regretted.
Not that athletics and social activi-
ties are bad; they are as necessary
to the full development of the col
lege man or woman as anything else.
But they have their place and should
be kept there. The trouble is not
that the student overemphasizes col
lege life-but that he underempha-
sizes study. 1t is neither necessary
nor expedient to tear down the struc
ture of student activities and athlet-
les. They should be controlled: lin
tied to their proper spheres. But the
importance of studying must be con-
sidered as the prime raison d'etre for
the college man and woman if the
University is to fulfill the ideals upon
which it was founded and upon which
it has continued to exist. To give
back in service what has been re-
ceived is the duty of each man or
woman educated in a public or state |
school

final analysis, national convention is largely composed of deuces trying to masquerade as face cards Likewise, as but just stated. the shouting and the tumult dies. It dies suddenly and, like the historic dog named Rover, all over. II dies with the selection of a presidential nominee and its farewell echoes, if any such there be. are lost in the laundering tread of many feet hurrying their owners in a mad race to get away from here to points else- where.
 In the present instarce we, it's list less and jaded survivors, looking back next week upon these familiar scenes, will no doubt recall almost with shock of reminiscent surprise that the only really spontaneous, unrehearsed, authentic and genuine outburst re- corded as having marked the proceed ings. up until the time of the decisive ballots to choose the head of the ticket came, not from the floor of the Coli scum, but from the galleries above; came not on signal from some king rooter to his organized and waiting co-rooters. but without preparation or prior warning; came not from the dele. gate body for some candidate who had chance ultimately to win but from spectators whose sole interest in the transactions was sentimental: came not for Wood or 1owden or any as- pirant with a known following but came as popular tribute for a man whose total of votes might be counte5 on a ne-armed mans fingers, to-wit: one Herbert Hoover. What was the inner meaning of this, 1 don't profess to know. From mass of confused memories of this convention certain salient incidental details afterwards will stand out-the fact that two wo- men, one a New York society woman and the other an actress. namely. Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New York and Miss Alexandria Carlisle of Massachu- setts. both amateurs in politics and novices in convention habits, made the two best speeches that were heard in Chicago: the reflection that the most expensive favorite sons that the world has ever known even in this era of the high cost of candidates should have gone by the boards; the unforgettable look of poignant anguish upon the noble countenance of Gen. Frank Hitchcock when it was seriously sug- gested that hereafter the conventions representatives of certain far south. ern states should be cut down to match the republican vote cast in those states at the general election. which mean that his favorite commodity. the colored brother. would be pitiably fewer in number if the helish design were carried out. If the tragedy of Hamlet with the character of Hamlet
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-13

left out were failure, thlnk or Otnello with no black star to play the main role while the general lurked in the wings holding the prompt book and counting up the house. That would be a tragedy.
 WHERE IVORY GOT ITS NAME
 As the summer waxes and wanes We shall remember how MT. Procter soap fat merely greased the skids for his own painful descent and we shall wonder since Procter failed so utterly whether he would have done any bet ter with Keith to help him. But wa will know at last for what he named his well-known brand of soap. Hs named it for that part of himself which fits inside of his hat. We shall thinh back on the gloom of disappointment enveloping the souls of the Pullman porters, practically every one or "hoils I hear had dream of being chlei doorkeeper at the White House ana showing the pestiferous white trash away from Mistah President Lowden. Revellng in cool breezes on the silvery strand, l. for one, shall recall how the sweltering heat wore me away to d perfect LevIathan and how the restaurant prices went up ana up anu still ever upward.
 After San Francisco it will be four long years before our eyes may nope again to look upon Scenes such aA these. In those four years new tlg ures will arise on the national horlzoh' new issues will come forth, new sio' gans be raised to din the ears of the groundlings. And through these iour years the great army of the conNeh- ton hangers-on the has-beens to never-weres and the hope-to-bes, will await the bugle call for their quadren- nial resurrection. Every national con- vention brings them forth. There were hundreds of them here during the week now ended There wIii De hundreas more of them of a different -politicai complexion but wearing the same com mon aspect at San Francisco when we get there on the 2Sth. They are the shards and the shreds, the potsheros and the broken vessels of other po- litical days.
 This one here in an old forgotten day was actually a federal judge; that one with him, the one with the wist- ful eye and the white side whiskers, attained the proud eminence of sein national committeeman away back wonder in 1884. The one over wonder was minister to some banana republic under Rutherford B. Hayes.
 LEFT THEM STRANDED
 The world moved off and left them stranded long ago. They lost their prcminence they lost their influence, many of them almost lost their iden- tlties. They are broken white chips of the cruel greedy game called poli- tIcs.
 but once every four years, when a ms tional convention meets, they emerge from their several obacurlues like bleached bugs from under crum- Iiing log in tn woods. and they assem- bic in the convention city. Faded, un- kpown withered. unconsidered figures, trey finger about trusting that some new leader of q new generation will confer" with them, praying that some young commander of the forces will remember that and bestow upon them the precious boon of a word or hand
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-13

shake or a pat upon the back. And then when adjournment comes they re- turn to their burrows under the chips in the woods to moulder for four years more, the while they await the resur- rection call of the next convention of
 the party which long ago sucked
 them dry of their juices and tossed
 tEem aside. They are living tragedies
 of national politics, and Chicago this
 week has fairly crawled with them. It was a hard week upon them, too, what
 with the heat and the jams and the man. killing Chicago taxi cabs and, worst of all, the absence from his for mer favorite haunts of old John Bar lcycorn. The brass rails upon which tbey might have rested their tired old insteps have vanished and the cooling seuttle of studs has become but fond, sweet, sad memory.
 1 think 1 know now why this con- vention, as measured by the compara- tive standards of its predecessors here an6 elsewhere, seemed, generally
 spaking, so listless: so apathetic and
 so lacking in the old bally-hoo stuff. Tn esaloons being gone, the run of the delegates had no place wherein to sit down and rest their faces and hands and their legs. It was not lack of belief in their cause ra lack of hope fer victory in the fall which dispirited them It was because :heir feet hurt them.
 The most consistent example of pa- tient endurance and suffering heroism
 which the convention offered was not
 presented on the floor of the hall or
 around the Headquarters, now all dis
 rsntled and empty. nor yet in the hotel Hobbies. It was presented just
 outside the coliseum, where all day lcng every day the embattled suffra-
 gette pickets stood on the sunny side
 of blistering Wabash avenue, holding aloft their banners protesting against
 the political discrimination still prac-
 ticed against their sex In certain states.
 They maintained their convictions did these martyred, brave ladies, but
 their complexions are total loss.
