His Fondness for Children.

While Washington had no children
Of his own, he was blessed with many
nephews and nieces, who, looking up
to him as the head of the family, re-
ceived many favOrs from his hand.
His sister Betty, Mrs. Fielding Lewis,
had several boys, Washington, when
nineteen, standing godfather to the
eldest. Two of her boys, Howell and
Lawrence, made their home with their
famous uncle at Mount Vernon at diff
ferent times. Another nephew, Bush
rod, son of Washfngton's brother,
john Augustine, was an especial ia
yOrite. His career as a lawyer was
helped by Washington, who followed
it with the greatest pride and interest,
and frequently consulted him on legal
matters. The Mount Vernon mansion,
its library and private papers and
1000 acres were left to this nephew.
OF his brother Samuers chill
iren Washington helped educate the
.nree boys. and gave their sister Har-
riet home under his own roof for
nine years.-H. A. ogden in st. Mich

Washington Type OF
Highest Citizenship

In the formal observance of the an
niversary OF the birth of George Wash
ington, 1t is well to pause to reflect
upon the character of the man to
whom the American people owe the
utmost debt Of gratitude. His serv-
ices were rendered IN the supreme
hour of trial and in the dark days of
national birth. AS soldier and as
statesman Washington stood supreme
ly the leader OF the people.
Putting aside all speculation as to
what Washington would have done In
this or in that specific situation of
modern days, 1t can and should always
be borne in mind that he would as
suredly have been for strong gov
eminent, for the highest type of citi-
Zenship, for devotion to a single al
legiance. and for the broadcast possible
spread of education. He could not
have favored or fostered a spirit of
revolt against the established >institu-
tons, save by the legal and definitely
appointed means He had rebelled
against the tyranny of British rule.
He had led the American cOlOnists in
to a victorious independence. But he
could never have sustained move
ment Of mere dissent, conducted out
side the pale of law or employing the
weapons of seditiOn.
George Washington was a patriot in
the trueSt sense, true to his convic-
tiOns, true to the institutions that had
been set up here In substitution for
the colonial administration which Of
Tended the sense Of justice ever Of
Britons of that day. He guided the
new government capably, without a
chart, finding the way carefully and
sagaciOusly. He felt that though this
new government had been set up in
revolt. 1t must be conducted in a spirit
Of universal acceptance by the people
OF the principles that had been adopt
ed as its foundation.
There is no support for the radicals
of today In the fact that George Wash
ingtOn was rebel against the rule of
King George. His example will never
serve to justify sedition or intrigue or
selfish class alignments seeking to
oyerturn that which has been reared
through nearly a century and a half
Of painstaking, consistent develop
ment based upon the principle Of the
general welfare and the cooperation
Of all the people.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1921-02-17
WASHINGTON IN PRIVATE LIFE
Gladly Gave Up High Estate for the
More Tranquil Pleasures of
Mount Vernon.

Returning to Mount Vernon after
the surrender of CORVALLIS, George
Washington wrote to Lafayette.
Il have become private citizen on
the banks of the Potomac in the
shadow of my own vine and my own
fig tree, free from the hustle of
camp, and the busy scenes of public
life. l am solacfng myself with those
tranquil enjoyments, of which the sol
der, who is ever in pursuit of fame
the statesman, whose watchful days
and sleepless nights are spent in devils
ing schemes to promote the welfare of
his own, perhaps the ruin of other
countries, as if the globe was INSULT
cient for us all, and the courtier, who
is always watching the countenance of
his prince in the hopes OF catching
gracious smile-can have very little
conception have not only retired
from all public employment, but am
retiring within myself, and shall be
able TO view the solitary walk, and
tread the paths of private life, with
heartfelt satisfaction. Envious of
none, I am determined TO be pleased
with all. and this, my dear friend, be-
ing the order of my march. will move
gently down the stream of life

JUST RESTING

When a fellow brings up at the end
of long run he is tired and wants a
rest. He wants to look around little
before he takes another squirt.
That about represents the business
situation today.
1t has been moving at wild and
strenuous pace for number of years,
and now the period of relaxation is at
hand
1t is resting, and sizing up the situa-
ton before it begins another gallon.
We have much the same thing at
every presidential election.
AS the time approaches for the in
cumbent to retire from office business
interests begin to wonder what the
new man will be and what he will
do
Capital always has an eye open for
breakers ahead 1t never goes blindly
onto the rocks of uncertainty.
After the new president has been
inaugurated, and uncertainties begin
to crystalize into something definite,
business will be able to make a fairly
accurate survey and determine just
what line of action it is advisable to
take.
That, in all likelihood, will mark the
beginning of the end of our period of
commercial rest.
Now idle wheels will spin again.
Men will return to their occupations,
and the business world will soon be
at normal again.
We see nothing in the present situa-
ton to occasion any alarm
We see every indication of an early
return to activity.
Let us husband our strength and our
resources and await with confident
patience the day when the tide begins
to turn.

THE PUBLISHERS
RESPONSIBILITY

Much demoralizing reading is print
ed on the plea that "the public wants
it, A mother might as excusably
give her child the glistening arsenic
for which it cries. The publisher
bears responsibility to society like
that of the preacher or the teacher.
This, at any rate, is the view of the
Publishers of The Youths Companion.
From its first issue to the present it
has been a constant force for character
building. And with all that it has
been so wisely edited that no publica-
ton exists of more varied charm, more
inexhaustible and refreshing sources
of interest.
The so issues of the coming year
will be crowded with serial stories,
short stories, editorials, poetry, facts
and fun. Only $3.50 for an amount
of reading equal to thirty-five volumes
of fiction, humor, etc.

Lesson in Honors to
Founders of Nation

1t is always fitting that Washing
tons birthday should be made spe-
,cial occasion for impressing on all just
what his achievements and those of
his associates who established the gov
eminent of the United States and
founded a nation really mean. While
there has never been any lack of en-
thuSiasm over the man who was first
in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen. it is well
that the full significance of what clus-
ters about the name and fame of
Washington shall be set out beyond
all peradventure.
1t is not only the uniformed alien
who fails to understand our debt to
the past, so, despite the highly intel
ligent and intensive efforts of the pub
lie schools to deal with Washington
as the great national hero, the ex-
traOrdinary nature of the government
Of a people and by people and for
a people which his efforts set up cam
not be too emphatically described,
since we all tend to get rusty on his
toric facts, and altogether too many
forget that blatant idealistic reform
ers the world over today are claiming
as freshly discovered panaceas some
of the simplest practices laid down by
the forefathers in the Mayfower,
again in 1776, and finally in the Con-
stitution of 1887. That the forefa-
theirs. with Washington and Jefferson
and Lee in the lead in the construc-
tive period of the Revolution, proved
to be practical men, as we'll as ideal
lists believing in certain great princi-
plies that lie at the base of human
freedom, and established human liber-
ty under conditions that protected
each from the other obliterating class
distinctions, is not the least thing to
their credit.
AS pulpit and platform draw the
lessons from what the past affords in
the way of men and principles as ex-
emplars for all time, 1t will be the part
of wisdom If the simple, undisputed
facts as to what this great experiment
did set out to do and has accom-
plished be brought home to all. For
after all, it is the overwhelming ac-
Qualities of a free government main
tanned by free people that gives the
luster to the name of Washington as
the father and founder and justifies
all that the most extravagant eulogy
may pronounce as to his claims to
an affectiOnate Immortality.
