lesson in Honors to
Founders of Nation

It is always fitting that Washing
toms birthday should be made a spe-
cial occasion for impressing on all just
what his achievements and those of
his associates who established the gov
ernmen 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-
tiers about the name and fame of
Washington shall be set out beyond
all p~eradventure.
1t is not only the uniformed alien
who fails to understand III 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-
t%raOrdinary nature of the government
of a people and by a people and for
a people which his efforts set up can-
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 p%anaceas some
of the simplest practices laid down by
the forefathers in the Mayf1ower,
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 well as ideal
lists believing in certain great princi-
pies that lie at the base of human
freedom, and established human liber-
ty under conditions that protected
each from the other, o~bliterating 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, it 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 a 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.

A remarkable feature in wheat is

Washington ReSignIng
Command of the Army

December %, 1888, George Washington
resigned his commission as commander
in chief of the army. and retired to pri-
vate life. During the five years follow
ing the close of his military career he
found sufficient occupation in attending
to the affairs of his homestead and prop
erty and in fostering the progress of his
native state. He greatly helped, by his
correspondence. to bring the leading men
of the country to q determination to form
a more perfect union. He was president
of the Philadelphia convention of I7Sl,
which framed the Constitution of the Uni
ted States. Washington was unanimously
chosen the first President of the United
States, and on April 80, 17Ss, took the
oath OF office in New York, where con-
gress was then sitting. At the close of
his term of office he was reelected unan-
imously. and on March 4. 1888, took the
oath OF office for the second time.

Washington Shaft
Country's Tribute

The two great monuments In the

who had been most Instrumental In
bringing about the result.
For 80 years after Washington's
death the project was, every now II
then, suggested, but nothing definite
happened until September, 1888, when

tice John Marshall, then 70 years old,
as president. 1t was not until three
years later that advertisements were

WashIngton's inauguration as
the First Chief Executive

George Washington was i~nagurated first
President Of the United States April 80,
1879, in New York city, which at that
time was the federal capital. During the
ceremonies, the chancellor administered
the oath with great elaboration and en-
phasis, after which Washington bowed
down. seized the Bible, kissed it. and ex-
claimed with closed eyes and much devo-
ton: 81 swear; so help me Cod"
Thereupon the chancellor declared, 1T
is DONE" and turning to the crowd ex-
claimed: Long live George Washington,
President of the United States!' The
last named declaration on the part OF
the chancellor was in imitation of mon
archical custom. The error of this prac-
tice was, however, soon exposed and
abandoned, but at the time the crowd
thought of nothing but the exciting solem-
nifty of the scene, and many who demon
stratively waved their hats were too over
come by emotion to Join In the huzzas.

ciety now being exhausted, a memo
rial was presented to congress asking
1t to take action in the matter. Poll
tics in the government prevented a
ready response and it was not until
1859 that the society was given a for
NAL charter.
The Washington monument was
finally finished in the winter of 1884
IS, and it was decided to dedicate 1t
upon the anniversary of the birth of
the man TO whom it had beer erected.
Consequently, on February %, 1885,
there were impressive ceremonies at
the national capital, when the monu-
ment was turned over to the nation.
The formal presentation of the mon
ument was made at the base of the
grand obelisk, but owing to the raw,
cold weather that existed the dedica-
tion ceremonies proper took place in
the hall of the house of representa-
tives.
