sacrificed their lives upon the al

freedom and democracy might be born to flourish
for the future generations of a whole continent.
Thus the sehool-books, thus from the rostrum of
congress and thus from the thousands of other
rostrums annually erected for Fourth of July

just who were these fathers? Just what in
terest did they have in independence and liberty?
More important yet: what part in this struggle
for liberty did the mass of the American people
of the time play and what was the attitude of the
fathers towards them?
Let us take five of the Outstanding founding
fathers Let us examine who they were and what
they did, not in the ingenious terms of an idoliz
ing and Overzeal Ous historian but in the manner
of an impartial editor of a Revolutionary War
who's Who" We will take Washington, Ad-
ans, Jefferson, Franklin and Hamilton These
men are representative.
George Washington's father was a wealthy Vir-
ginia plantation owner AT the age of sixteen he
became surveyor for powerful land company
Later on he was sent by large West Virginia and
pennsylvania land spectators to plot the ALE
gheny and Ohio valleys The French came down
from the north and built fort on the present
site of Pittsburgh. Washington was chosen as
messenger to warn the French to leave. His eff
forts failed. War was declared and he was given
command of regulars under General Braddock in
the attack upon Fort Duquesne. After the war;
he retired, much enriched to his estate, at Mount
Vernon. For fifteen years he led the life of
rich country gentleman planter. He was one of
the largest shareholders in the southern colonies
His marriage brought him an additional $4,000
and made him one of the wealthest men in the
colonies. When the British parliament, by the
Quebec act extended the jurisdiction of Canada
over the western country, Washington was saved
some 10000 acres of his speculative holdings
only by the outbreak of the revolutionary war
A rich man, good soldier, he became commander
in-chief of the Continental army. The war was
won much by the laxness of General Howe and
the absence of a consistent and well-supported
campaign on the part of the British as it was bv
the courage and hardness of the volunteers who
fighting for freedom were left, after the conflict
in a more degraded position than before Land
that was promised to them in the event of victory
became the object of speculations which the most
revered of the fathers thought nothing of exploit
ing. But Washington became a hero As hero
he fitted into the new regime to become the first
president He died much richer than he was
born. He was arstocrat of the first water.
Liberty for him meant liberty from England and
meant freedom from the competition of English
traders and capitalists. For him, the masses
were so many different kinds of slaves put here
to do the fighting, the work and to carry the
heavy burdens for propertied gentlemen's com.

ton of the working class that had vote won the
election by small margin after the deciding vote
was given to congress.
But the power of property had been strongly
entrenched and was here to Stay. Jefferson rode
into office talking Of the revolution accomplished
by his election. But McMaster observes:
"The men who in 1900 voted for Adams could
in 1904 see no reason whatever for voting against
Jefferson. Scarcely federal institution was
missed. They saw the debt the bank the navy
still preserved; they saw broad construction Of
the constitution, strong government exercising
the rights of sovereignty, and growing more ma
tional day by day and they gave it hearty sup
port as government administered in the prin-
ciples for which, ever since the constitution was
in force, they had commended"
The principle here referred to was stron Inv
centralized government in which the decisive
power is welded by property. Thus Jefferson

tcians still like to pirate is disclosed as merely
another form which the dominance of wealth and
estate took on at the expense of the exploited
masses.
A LEXANDER HAMILTON, who, with James
Madison, was the controlling influence of the
Federalist party was the stoutest of reactionar-
