Citizens by birth or choice of

your afections.-George Wash
ington's Farewell Address.
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1921-05-13

' THIS address stands out as one OF
, 4 the finest pOrtrayals Of the grand
, yet simple character of George Wash
ington, First Of His Country.
Everett calls Washington intrepid.
SO he was. He calls him unselfsh.
So he was. Patriotism always Is un-
selfish. When thought of self advance
ment at the expense of ones coun-
try enters into a mans breast he no
longer Is a patriot Washington sub
ordinated everything pertaining to
himself to his country's good. He
gave lesson to posterity that well
might be the better learned by some
OF us today.
The first president has been exalted
by Americans but he never exalted him.
self. His Amerlcanism was that OF
devotion TO country and a willingness
TO carry his devotion to the end of
death If death should come.
The story of Washington should be
one of the first lessons in the book of |
AmericanizatiOn. 1t is an appealing |
story and one to be understood by

acted as an anchor to the ship of state
In times of storm. 1t was not so
much Washington's deeds as a war
rior which brought to him the admira-
ton and affection of the American peo-
pie, as it was the noble simplicity of
his character which was shown not
only In his deeds but In his actual
manner of life.
