such policy as this the wheels Of Gov

To say that Washington eXerted no
force over the making Of the Consti-
tuition merely because he spoke so lit
tie In the convention Is to ignore the
fact OF such warm expressions IL favor
of strong central government.
1t Is probable that Washington had
considered the Virginia proposals that
Edmund Randolph, the governor of
Virginia. presented at the opening Of
Immediate subject Of debate, and that
paved the way to the Constitution
that the convention finally adopted.
Thus. instead of exercising the merely
| temporary influence of an orator,
Washington moved people by the calm
wisdom OF close discussion, by the
slow process of the careful exchange
OF thought, whether in conversation
or In letters He founded his influence
upon wisdom and not upon emotion,
or the quick decision of the moment

or the judicial system he revealed
later in a letter that he wrote in con-
nectfon with the appointment of an
assistant justice of the Supreme
Court: considering the judicial sys-
tenn as the chief pillar upon which
our National Government must rest,
have thought it my duty to nomi-
nate for the high offices in that de-
partment such men as l have con-
ceived would give dignity and luster
to our national character"
When the Constitution had finally
been adopted by the convention,
Washington signed It as president
and Deputy from Virginia" Thirty
eight other members of the conven-
ton also signed it. and it went before
the States for ratification.
The work of the convention had
been carried on behind closed doors.
because all had agreed that reports
of the discussions would be likely to
awaken hostility either to the mem
berS themselves or to parts of the Con.
stitution. No report was given to the
public. other than the completed Con
stitution. 1t is another evidence of
the respect in which Washington was
held. that the convention gave the
records to Washington with directions
that he should retain the journal
and other papers subject to order of
Congress, If ever formed under the
Constitution"
1t was Washingtons own wish that
those proceedings should not be made
public while any members of the con.
venttOn were alive. Wash
ington's influence before and during
the convention has left it's impress on
this immortal document.-From the

soldier and statesman took no active
part in the heated debates Of the con.
vention, he made his influence all pow
erful. James Monroe. in a letter writ
ten TO Thomas jefferson, said, BE as
sured, Washington influence carried
this Government.
Washington had a magnetic per.
sonality that attracted people to him
and a character and wisdom that won
respect. AS one of the richest men
in all the colonies, he had risked far
more than had most of the other lead
erS of the Revolution. He had shown
himself a great leader in a long war
and kindly and wise conselor in
peace. Beyond all this. his personal.
ity, or one might say his kindness,
his tact, his spirit of liberation, his
genuine patriotism. his deep belief In
a permanent union of the States, made
him the outstanding figure at the
great Constitutional Convention OF
1887.
Washington had intended to with.
draw from public life. He was. 1t is
true. only SIS years of age, but he had
endured great deal. More than once
he had found himself a target for hos
tile criticism. Both because Of this
and also because of kind of natural

other men.
When the disorders that were
brought about in large part by the
weakness of the Articles Of Confedera.
ton led people to see the necessity Of
establishing a fiTner government.
every one looked to Washington,
whose influence had always been in
favor of a strong union. The leaders
urged him so mistakenly to take part
in the great work that he finally con-
sented, and entered the convention as
a representative from Virginia.
In the opinion OF every other mem
Der OF the convention Washington was
the foremost figure. 1t was the gen
