They were uttered In war time. Lest
we forget them, they read: =

this war. We are learning to know
each other. We shall never meet as
Foreigners again; we talk to each
other now exactly as though we were

Eulogies on George Washington.

- Bishap FreerFan and others. : IN
speeches at the corner stone ceremony
OF the George Washington Masonic
National Memorial paid respect in eX-
pressive words to the character. of
Washington. Matter Of this tenor has
been spoken 80 many times and by 50
u.any men of high place that the re-
fiection comes that no other American
has called forth so much eulogy from
the great of the earth andIfrom the
humble as Washington. So. -
1t is probably true that ne other
man in history has been given so
much sincere praise as Washington.
The main reason for this seems to be
that Washington was great without
being ambitious as the world under
stands that word He ranked not su-
perIative as soldier nor as a man of
statecrafe. nov as q man Of learning.
But he. was efficient and, sufficient in
many ways OF effort. 1t Is that Wash
ington was without the itch for power
that strikes so many men who speak
of his character. He was a plain
nlirded man with high order. of
common sense and d most stubborn
conviction that the cause he espoused
was just. He was an answering
man. Generally the answering man
is a fanatic on one idea or another
and seldom comes to greatness. I SUI
ally the only answering man who
comes to eminepce is he who is un-
swerving for self Washington set
self aside except when he bade fare
we'll. to public Office and retired TO
Mount Vernon. -
Americans have not paid finer trib-
utes TO George Washington than have
foreigners, and many Englishn1en
have written and spoken OF the. great
ness OF the man. AS an example of
this are the sen timents which Thaek-
cray. expresses through George War
rington, the Tory brother, Of Harry
Warrington. = Washington. he. said,

braver than hundreds who fought
with him or against him. but Wash

rene against the open foe before him
and the darker. enemies at his back;
Washington inspiring order and spirit
into troops hungry and in rags; stung
by ingratitude.. but betraying no an
ger; and ever ready to forgive: in de-
feat invincible. magnanimous in con-
quest and never so sublime as on thst

Senator Pepper ON Prohibition.

Senator. Pepper of Pennsylvania, in
an address. to q women's republican
club in. Chicago, uttered words of wis
wide attention. Discussing prohibition
he prophesied that within ten years
those who now break the Law will have
either changed their point of@yiew,
died or. become unpopular.
= Meanwhile, he does not vision any
prospect of amending the 3'Oistead
act, for. as he says, while there is a
great deal OF talk about, amendment
he, has yet to- see a concrete proposal
which seems socially wise or constitu-
tionally sound Senator Pepper said it
Is the plain duty of senators and other
public men to reinforce the executive
arm by official act and personal ex-
ample. That suggestion may jar the
on Capitol Hill who like their wee
nippy." but if furnishes food for
thought. g. .'
Viewing the political aspect of pro-
hibition. the Pennsylvania senator
does not see the probability of it be,
coming a party issue. He points out
that the cleavage between those who
earnestly desire the success of the
great national experiment OF prohibit

Eyolution Theory Hi. .
Modern Science Said to Show
Darwinism Error.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Apropos of the Java ape (and the
evolutionary theory in generaD =. it
lis well to remember, as Prof. Tuwn-.
send points ccut In his admirable
thesis The Collapse. Of Evolution"
that the facts of the case are these:
- In 1871 Dubois, a Dutch physician,
discovered a tooth--on the island Of
Java several feet below the surface
sof THE earth. Z One month Eater he
found the roof of skull about three
feet from the tooth. and in August,
1922. he found a thigh bone forty
five feet farther away. and, Later. an
other tooth. That is all that Is known
of this wonderful missing link
A year or more after this discovery
scientists met and discussed the find.
Ten concluded that they were neth-
ing but the bones of an ape, seven
held that they were those Of man
and seven thought them the long lost
link in the chain. So that. of twenty
four of the leading scie ntistS of Eu-
rope, only seven (one-third) ascribed
any Importance whatever to this
pithecantropus erectus. And one
-. -
of Dublin, great anatomfSt, con-
cluded that they Were different bones
not belonging TO the same ANIMAL
Isn't 1t about time that our college
professors and pseudo scientists got
into line with the latest and most
advanced thought IN Europe on the
Darwfnfan theory. The whole trend
of scientific opinion is now away from
evolution, which, at best, is simply
theory and unsuhstantiated by d
single uncontrovertible fact.
There is no evidence of the trans
mutation of species, only variation, or
improvement, or, sometimes. extinc-
ton. And the spade of the archeol-
ogist is teaching us that man has not
progressed either physically or men,
tally In thousands of years, The oniy
progress has been through the spirit,
through direct revelation from God,
through the Christian religion.
Nor need the anti-evolution mist hide
his head in shame, as he is In very
good company. Such names as Pas
Carpenter, Dana, Faraday. Leibnitz.
Herschel. Maury, in the past, all
opposed TO evolution, and Fietshmann,

And our friend Mr Bryan tright
for once, should be ttckled PINK ny
the conclusions OF DR.. TTaas, the emf

"The idea that mankind is descended

They are toTbe spanked in public. This
sentence was pronounced upon them
yesterday by the recorder of the court
upon their conviction of stealing auto

there is this provision, that if the boys

found student Of boy human nature.
Certain .punishments glorify Juvenile
offenders In the eyes of their fellows.
But spanking on the traditional
place, in public, casts no halo of hero
ism upon the subject. No boy who
has been spanked as a penalty. OF

Washington an Old Town.

One who would keep touch upon the
pulse of Washington sentiment should
read the reports of meetings of citi-
zens' associations which The Star pub
fishes almost every day. Recently it
was printed that the Southeast. Asso.
ciation had elected'it it's president to his
sixteenth consecutive term. There is
note which shows. constancy in the
public interest and appreciation on the
part of those this man serves. He re-
ceives no other reward than Conscience
gives and the appreciation of his fell
lows. In this is rebuiSe to cynics
who hold that human nature is wholly
selfish, and that men, are altogether
lacking in sincerity and gratitude.
In the same news story of the meet
ing was a note that this association
would take part in a reception to Mrs.
Martha j: Peabody, who has served
Southeast Washington as a school
teacher for fifty-three years. How
many men grown gray and conserva-
tive must think back to the time when
they We're children under the eye and
instruction Of this woman? How many
must be her thoughts Of children that
have become men and women or have
passed away? - -,s., - s-~-,.
Another reflection is that Southeast
Washington is an old part of the city,
that our town is an old one judged by
American standards and that men

river was inhabited. bytsavages not far
