GEORGE WASHlNGTON'S DREAM
OF AMERICAS CAPITAL CITY

| From the statement of Judge
Charles F. Bundy of the Board of
| Trade committee on parks before
the Distict Commissioners In adj
! vocacy of recommendations for the
early completion>of the park sys-
tenn of the District.
It has been said that George Wash
ington was the prince of dreamers
but his dreams were day dreams. and
all but one seem to have come true.
| At the age Of twelve he dreamed OF
"A life on the ocean wave" Tina,
dream meyer materialized; his mother
called it OF. Four years later. when
he had undertaken a mans job OF
surveying for Lord Fairfax in the
| upper Shenandoah country, he
| dreamed of a waterway to connect
the Ohio river with Chesapeake bay
That dream did materialize in the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal; and we
depend upon it today for our BIZ
luminous coal.
Many years afterward, having re-
ceived Corvallis surrender at
Yorktown. and while awaiting settle
ment Of the terms Of peace. Gen
mounted horses and rode up the Mo-
hawk valley inta western New York
While on that trip he told Gov. Clin-
ton another dream. That was of a
waterway to connect the great lakes
with the Atlantic ocean. 1t was a
continental dream; and when worked
out fifty years later, it made New
York the Empire state and its chief
city the comm ercial metropolis of the
world.
But Washington's Brightest dream
was yet to come: it was of the Cap
itaI City on the banks of the majestic
lPotomac--the same dream he told
Peter L'Enfant and Andrew Ellicott
the last days OF March, 1891, and
which they, in turn, traced upon
paper. to be read with ever-increasing
wonder and delight as the years
60 by.
This dream was the darling of Gen,
Washington's old age: and. although
he had rocked it's cradle, and. for
nine years thereafter had guarded it
against the plottings Of envious rivals
bent upon restoring it to its foster
parent. the city of Philadelphia. he
was too modest to give 1t his own
name. and 80 it was left to others to
christen it the city OF Warrington.
Fortunately for his peace Of mind.
Washington was spared the pain of
witnessing the long period of de-
cadence which fell upon the young
city soon after his demise and con-
tinued down to the time Of Alexander
Shepherd. the great regeneration. who.
though he wrought nightly and ac-
eomplished much, left much undone.

CITY OF ANCIENT GL0RlES
Lima, Peru, In the Past, Was a Capt.

her original supremacy. over the Amer
ican southwest to the point of losing
her own characteristic stamp, with her
regional customs forgotten III d disfig-
ured by bastard and Outlandish edi-
fees and marred in her surroundings
by the decline and neglect of her
country seats and the death of her an
cient woodlands.
We must think of her as she was in
her most prOpitiOus years, in the first
two centuries of her foundation;
crowned with olive trees and orange
trees, amid the shimmering curtains
of willow groves and banana planta-
tions, made fragrant in her patiOs
and gardens by violets, carnations,
cOnvOlvuli, abundance and sweet bas-
lis; the land of flowers and of per-
fumed waters; the Indian capital OF
lofty and solid towers. of balconies
and fiat roofs, of tiles and shuttered
blinds, of skirts and mantles almost
Moorish, whose disguise maintained an
eternal carnival, the city of elegant
balls, of sprightly nuns. of courtly fes-
dvals. comedies, tournaments and bull
fights, of luxury and ostentation; the

daughter of Sevilla and the grand
daughter of a sultana the mother of
virgins and saints of pompous gentle
men and learned doctors, caressed by
the golden peals of her GO churches
and by the incense and chants of her
infinite professions.
Beneath an air of exquisite tempera-
ture and gllstening and brilliant sky,
grew Lima, the living image of grace;
ana she extended over the thresholds
of the tragic country her veil of smil-
ing delicacy and elegance.

GOOD GOVERNMENT

Many people have an idea that
if all the people were highly ed
ucated there would not be as
much diversity of opinion in poll
tics and religion as now exists.
Observation would teach us that
this belief is unfounded. 1t can
not be denied that there is a great
er diversity of opinion, upon any
subject, among the educated ma
tions than is found among the un-
educated races. The higher the
education of people the greater
the variety of their political and
religious opinions. No infidels or
atheists were ever found among
a half-civilized race. All of them
are the product of what we term
higher civilization. Is it not
possible that we are mistaken in
the idea that we dwell upon a
higher plane than some of the
people of two thousand years ago?
Viewed from material stand
point we have ample proof that
the world has made wonderful ad-
vancement. Our ships navigate
the most distant seas, both on the
surface and beneath the ocean
wave, with rapidity and safety
that was undreamed of, in the
long ago, when the only means of
travelling over the waters of the
deep was an ordinary row boat.
We have girdled the earth with a
band of electricity, by means of
which the events that occur in
obscure places can be transmitted
to the remotest parts of the earth
in almost the twinkling of an eye.
Our wireless messages have over
come the laws of time and space
and can be sent far out upon and
across the ocean and only a few
days ago, it is reported, that a
scientist, by the aid of a new in
vention, standing upon the shores
of New Foundland, was able to
overhear conversation between
people in the old world. Our fly
ing machines which are only in
their infancy have already crossed
the broad Atlantic.
But while we have ample proof
of the marvellous progress of the
world along material lines, has
our growth along other lines kept
pace with this marvellous advance
ment? By reason of our great de-
sire to advance materially, may
we not have retrograded in some
other respects? Have we in any
country at the present time sys-

cox AND HARDING

We have heard number of
people say that the letters of ac-
ceptance of Cox and Harding
were practically the same. 1t is
very evident that those who make
this statement have not read the
letters. The two letters are as
different as day and night. Like
the north and south pole they
point in opposite directions. Cox
is in favor of the League of Ma
tions, Harding is opposed to it..
Cox is against the abuse of the
writ of injunction and favors a
government of law instead of a
government of our judges. Hard
ing is silent upon this. question
and lodges the issue. Cox fav-
ors criminal prosecution of the
profiteers while Harding practic-
ally denies the existence of the
profiteer and intimates that the
cost of living is caused by the de-
flation of money and that the rem
edy for the high cost of living is
return to normalcy, whatever
that may mean.
Cox is opposed to partisan par
ty government and pledges SER
vice to the people as whole with
out regard to party. Harding is
in favor of party government and
frankly says that upon all i'm
portant questions he would seek
only the advice of the leaders of
the Republican party.
Upon the labor question Cox
says, eve want change from
the world of yesterday, from the
old industrial world. We are at
the forks of the road. So-called
return to the normal means reac
tionism." Harding favors going
back to old conditions. Cox is
looking forward to a progressive
future while Harding harks back
to dead past. We live in a
world of progress. 1t is only by
discarding the errors of the past
that we can hope to attain a bet
ter future. LET the dead bury
its dead;" live people should turn
their eyes toward the future.
So when you hear a person say
that the Cox and Harding letters
are the same you may be sure that
he has not read them or that he
cannot understand Harding's let
ter and just thinks they are the
same. But don't take our word
for this but read both letters care
fully and compare them and form
your own conclusions.

Wage System Must Go.
Says Irish Educator

Since the war, social conflict
has reappeared with aggi awaited
intensity. The conditions which
have produced it will have to be
ended if the structure of society
is at all to be preserved. This
was the thesis expounded to the
Waynooth union, Dublin, Ireland.
by the Rev. ]. Kelleher, S. T. L.,
st. Johns college, Waterford, who
examined the whole question of
social reconstruction. Describ-
ing the conditions that menaced
society, he said that by degrees
working men had been delivered.
helpless and isolated, so the hard
heartedness of employers and the
greed of unchecked competition.
The mischief had been increased
by the rapacious usuary of finan-
ciers. To these evils was added
the custom of doing work by large
contracts, which concentrated
many branches of business in the
hands of few individuals.
1t followed as a dreadful con-
sequence that "a small number of
very rich men had been able to
lay upon the teeming masses of
the laboring poor yoke little bet
ter than slavery ITSELF"
Suddenly breaking off his re-
cital of the woes of the masses.
Father Kelleher exclaimed
What is the remedy?" He gave
a remarkable answer to his own
question. Tt
1--WE should not shrink from the
application of the Catholic social
principles, however startling or
revolutionary these may appear
to persons long adjusted to pre-
vailing circumstances. We must
make up our minds that the wage
system has to go. The wage sys-
tenn is degenerating into indus
trial anarchy before our very

cialism to restrict ownership. The

so he may get proper share of
the income earned by his work"
Father Burbage said the fact
that a man had gone to a college
or university did not mean that
he had a higher sense of justice
than the man who might be found
driving a cart along the road.
They all knew that very often
training in university had
taught men to sell countries-not
to speak of smaller thefts. At the
present time who were enforcing
law and order in Ireland? Was it
the higher classes? Were they
able to arrest drunken man or
recover even stolen bicycle? Or
der was being kept by the true
sense of justice and fair play in
maintaining the peace of the
country. -~,-~-,~. s,ssyx ~
