The Washington Ideal.

Commemoration of the birth of
George Washington has become a
fixed American institution, an occasion
Of patriotic celebration. day of re-
spect and reverence for the man
whose services to the American people
cannot even at this time be fully
measured. AS the time passes the
wonder of Washington grows. The
lengthening of the perspective in
creases, rather than diminisheS, the
value of his work for the redemption
of the colonies from British rule, and
compact and substantial national or
ganization.
Washington the colonial pioneer.
surveying the lands lying beyond the
fringe of settlement along the coast;
Washington the soldier, fighting
against the French and Indians;
washington the soldier again, fight
ing against the British, against almost
hopeless odds and the most terrible
difficulties, sustaining the courage of
determination to proceed in their un-
dertaking; Washington the construc-
tive statesman. presiding over the con-
stitutional convention and guiding it
through factional and sectional differ
ences to Il conclusion that has become
one of the most solid of national
foundations the world has known:
Washington the administrator, pre-
siding over the executive branch of
the government under that Constitu-
tion for the first eight years of def
nitely organized federal existence
such are the various Washingtons
whom the people now pause to honor
on this day.
This great figure in our affairs
stands supreme and unapproachable
for variety of abilities. for breadth
of vision, for Singleness of purpose.
Study of his writings and his ad-
dresses reveals a conception of the
political ideal that became the in
spiration of the new republic held by
few of his time He saw the diff
Culll6S Ill lne way, lile SeCllOlldl ull-
ferences of view, the jealousies of the
states, the lack of truly national con-
ception. He believed in one govern
ment as federatist, but he was
unanimously chosen President by all
the people Of both lines of political
faith. And he administered the affairs
of the republic as nonpartisan with
out prejudice or favor, so ably so i'm
partially and with such far vision
that, had he so Willed, he might have
been retained in office during the re-
mainder of his life. But he wisely
held to the principle of rotation and
put aside the thought of third term
and advised his countrymen in an i'm
mortal paper to hold strictly to the
principle of democracy upon which the
American Union was founded.
1t is an inspiration thus annually
to pause and study Washington, his
character, his works, his words and
his example. The American people
are better citizens for this yearly
devotion to his memory.

.'who are willing to become real

ANYTHING that jeopardizes our eco

abundant room for argument IN

To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
This is no argument between my
self and the honorary president of
the National Association of Colored
Women" believe me! 1 am in no way
connected with the project of erect
ing a monument to the mammies of
the south in the city of Washington.
At the same time. being a southern
woman, the daughter of a Shareholder.
and the descendant of Shareholders
since the early seventeenth century, /
feel as if l might be permitted to
make a few remarks on the subject.
When as this honorary president
remarks, "Colored women all over the
country stand aghast at the idea,
etc." I who love a great many col
ored women, feel like saying some
thing which might at least mitigate
this agony.
Now, suppose this monument to our
"mammies" Is ever erected (there is
but suppose there should be such a
memorial in the city Of Washington!
Let us remember that primarily 1t
will not be reminder "of the slave
woman's anguish. of her bleeding
heart, nor of her homeless condition
but it will tell the world of the
same qualities possessed by Robert
E. Lee and Abraham Lincoln, which
she also possessed-fidelity. mercy
lf-sacrifice, love. Yes, she pos
sessed them, she who but a few
generations back had been a naked
savage in darkest Africa
And in passing, permit me to say
that the shareholders constituted the
most effective missionary society the
world ever knew. inasmuch as
through their influence in compare
lively a short time hosts of heather
were not only transformed into skill
ed artisans and the most perfect do
mestic energy. but also into humble
Christians. Yet I abhor slavery!
Another form of anguish would L
save my colored friends should this
much discussed statue be erected.
There may be instances Of children
being wrested from the white chill

mammies very well, and the history
of mammies very well, have always

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Owen Wister, historian and novelist.
holds there is reason to believe
George Washington might have been
for modification of the Volstead act
in favor Of light wines. The Father
Of His Country was powerfully fond
of his Madeira and grieved as his
stock evaporated. In THE Seven
Ages of Washington" Wister records
that he gives to the matter of wine
the same measured, minute attention
that he gives to his fields, his horses.
his rams. and all else" Then Wister
quotes a letter written in 1894. when
duties as President kept Washington
absent from Mount Vernon. In it
he gave explicit directions about con-
serving his supply of Madeira. "In a
letter from Mrs. Fanny Washington"
the President wrote. "she mentions
that since I left Mount Vernon she
has given out four dozen and eight
bottles Of wine. I am led by it to
observe that 1t is not my intention
1t should be given to every one who
OF the house in travelling, or who
may be induced to visit II from
motives of curiosity. The duty
upon Madeira wine makes it one of
the most expensive liquors that are
now used. while my stock of it is
small and old wine (of which that is)
is not to be had upon any terms.
for which reason I would rather you
would provide claret, or other wine
on which the duty is not so high. than
to use my Madeira, unless on very
extraordinary occasions"

John w. Davis, who spoke at the
Southern Society dinner in Washing

boom when he is introduced. To the
southerners Davis referred to IL as "a
hideous suggestion" The West Vir-
ginian emitted pretty pithy cam

set forth the Davis political creed
thusly: Majority government and
minority rights. not Incompatible. but
co-existent."

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The ROmping Egoist.


1 love to hear a man crate
In accents that are thunderful,
And boldly undertake to state
That he is simply wonderful.
1 love to hear him twist fact
So simple and statistical
To statements that are inexact
And rather egotistical.
We still have genius here below,
Though poets lamely tune q verse
I love a man who claims to show
The workings of the universe.
L love his condescending tone.
He seems to have the best Of us
He has no troubles of his own
And cannot help the rest OF us.
