The greatness of Washington is appreciated
and keenly with each passing year, as his
torians throw new light upon the Father of his Coun
try Greatness cannot be defined, but it is easily
cOgniZed in the perspective Of time The greatest
those whose lives and works have influenced the
greatest number of other persons. Measured by that
rule, George Washington towers as of the great
est figures of all history He more than any other
man, created the new nation which was to set it's i'm
preston uponthe entire world 1t is not psuedo
patriotic boastfulness to declare that the United
States is the worlds greatest nation today; greatest
not only in material things but greatest in it's infu
upon all the rest of the world And our national
greatness has been made possible by the leadership of
George Washington
Politically, Washington established one tradition
which has been largely responsible for the success of
our American experiment In popular government
That that the President after his term of office
was finished, should retire from public life and take
no further active part in politics. Only in two three
instances has this rule been violated. John Quincy
Adams served In the House of Representatives. after
having been President; and in our own time the polit
ca activity of Theodore Roosevelt did not end with
his Presidential term But the tradition of aloofness
from interference with the conduct of his office has
guided every other exPresident In the republics of
South and Central America, where this has not been
the rule national progress has been mpeded by revo-
utons headed by former presidents in dozenes of ex
ampes.
Washington as a young man saw clearly what
some others did not realize that the territory of which
the British colonies occupied the eastern fringe must
be protected against invasion by any other nation
Historians seldom emphasize the service which he, as
young man. rendered in driving the French out Of
Ohio and the Mississippi Valley country That was
service which later rendered possible the expansion
Of the young United States to the westward. Our
march toward the Pacific began with the ending of
the Revolution. Had the French remained in posses
sion OF the Ohio River country and Of Canada our
whole national history would have been different if
indeed we had any national history other than that
OF British coonists.

Governor Roosevelt Sounds
Democratic Call In West

Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York
sounded the initial call to the Democrats of the West
for the campaign to elect Democratic Congress next
year in address at Democratic luncheon in Chi
cago at which 200 Democratic state and city leaders
were present Chairman Jouett Shouse of the Demo
cratic National Executive Committee was present
and also an address which aroused another display Of
enthusiasm.
Governor Roosevelt stressed as one Of the prob
lens the inequalities that have increased so rapidly
between the industriast and the agrculturst After
describing the operations of industry in what he call
ed this Machine Age, he continued
1.-The farmer subject to no such possibilities
of mass production. He was and always must be an
individual He cannot be exploited or bonded or unit
ed Into stock companies be made the object of this
new craze for consolidation and combination Now
realize that this matter must be attended to if we
are to go forward safely It is the first of our prob
lens.
"Have those in control solved it or attempted to
solve it? Have the events Of the last year given us
any encouragement that under the present leadership
exclusively industrial in the way Of things there is
any hope that they will ever solve it? It cannot be
answered by mere money-lending organization"
The New York Governor named as the second
great problem 'the almost miraculous extension of
these great combinations Of INDUSTRIES particularly
public utilities
"Too much we have placed them in positions Of
almost unlimited power, he said eve must see to it
that they at all times under such control of gov
ernment as will prevent them from becoming Frank
enstelns OF OUR own creation.
Referring to the pending tariff bill, Governor
Roosevelt said:
IF we have been saved the imposition by this last
lamentable session Of Congress of tariff which has
been denounced by almost every paper in the country
it has been because handful Of liberals in the Re-
publican party itself has turned to the Democratic
party in Congress in its desperate hour of need and
am proud that my party has lived up to its traditions
and that working side by side, regardless of mere
party lines this great inquty has been prevented
Both Governor Roosevelt and Chairman Shouse
forecast Democratic victory in the Congressional
elections next year.
