WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

the Nazi faith, in which Herr Luedecke
is said devoutly to believe.
~
One Of these days the La Fayette
Hotel in Washington will be putting up
a tablet disclosing that two Democratic
Secretaries of State both lived beneath
its roof. William Jennings Bryan often
stayed there, and Senator Cordell Hull
who will be President Roosevelt's pre-.
mier, has made his home at the Six
tenth street hosiery for years. The
house has a notable prohibition record
1t was at Bryan'S request that no bar
was maintained at the hotel, even in
the "happy days" which will "be here
again" If the States follow the lead OF
Congress and dismantle the water
wagon.
Associate Justice Harlan F. Stone of
the Supreme Court and Mrs. Stone are
the justly proud parents of son, NJ
H. Stone, still in his early twenties. who
Is already recognized as one of the
worlds mathematical geniuses. A tome
of several hundred pages. entitled
Linear Transformations in Hilbert
Space and Other Applications Of
Analysis" was recently published by
him. Young Stone is now a professor
Of higher mathematics at Harvard. of
which he is himself graduate. Fol-
lowing brilliant student career there
he took degree at one Of the great
English universities. Authorities pre-
dict that he will travel as far in his
chosen field as his distinguished father
has gone in the law

Herbert Hoover's shortcomings in poll

politicians the sort of loyalty and devo-

from his associates IN engineering and
humanitarian activities. The "A. r. A.
Association" Is President Hoover's real
i. 'old guard" 1t consists of the hun
dredS Of men and women who were
with him in Belgian relief and postwar
work in all parts of Europe. especially
Russia. The organization will pay him
special honor at its annual meeting in

announcements to be made there is that

The Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, 8. j., OF
Georgetown University, will be elected
president of the A. r. A. Association
next month.
Gov Roosevelt, Of course, will be the
special target of New York Democratic
hunger marcherS after March T. He
will have los good jobs in the Empire
State to give away. Twenty-three are
important Federal posts subject to

81 poStmasters who may be named

SHOOTING STARS.

George Washington.

George Washington.
He never, never told a fib,"
That's what my grandsire vowed
In language that was very glib
And sometimes rather loud.
And yet I don't see how man
A lifetime could pursue
without including in his plan
A little fib or two.
And If George said he never told,
In earnest or in fun,
A fib, suspicion I must hold
That maybe this was one.

WASHINGTON
The singular faith Of Washington
Wrought well the work of him required

The singular faith Of Washington
Wrought well the work of him required;
Intuitive or else inspired,
A lonely faith that battles won.
His stature grows through the years.
If equaled in strategic skill,
In hope undying. dauntless will,
He lowered above his noble peers.
The other figures strangely fade;
With grace and genius full endowed
OF which their day was Justly proud.
They pass from view, but he has stayed!
High courage rose wheneer the sun
OF hope was darkened by defeat;
For from the clouds came Hope to meet
Misfortune foresight could not shun.
The lesser souls his great soul led,
When stern rebuke Of fear was heard
BY shame or higher impulse stirred,
Became alive as from the dead.
His men fought well though poorly fed
And poorly clothed and poorly shod;
The Colonies held no magic rod
To make them coats and shoes and bread.
His men fought well because the hour
Gave them q master for whose sake
Would none draw back; and one to wake
The god In men, their moral power.
His men fought well as through his eyes
They saw in truth that Destiny.
Were they but brave, would make them free
Above themselves he babe them risel

George Washington.

A new era began with the birth Of
George Washington. Tho world into
which he came was a world dominated
by the earlier phases Of the great strug-
gle between medievalism and democ-
racy. In England Cromwell had lived
fought and died, and the Hanover kings
were reaping the harvest Of the glori-
GUS revolution" of 1889; the middle
classes were asserting themselves In
walpole and Chatham, and the lower
classes were awaiting John Wilkes. In
France Louis XIV occupied the emf
hence from which his grandson was to
be hurried to the guillotine. In Ger
many the dark star of Frederick the
Great soon was to rise above the hori-
son. Throughout Christendom the aA-
Gent regime was on the defensive, hard
pressed by Voltaire and Rousseau. the
apostles of a negative spirit Of re-
bellion.
Which path should humanity take?
The issue may not have been clear In
1872, but 1t was very real. One road
led back to the serfdom of antiquity,
the other no prophet presumed to say
whittier. A guide was desperately
needed, and Providence gave Washing
ton in response to the demand. He be-
came the central figure of the eight
zenith century, symbolizing in himself
the practical genius and the aspiration
Of the multitudes Of people who never
before had had opportunity to manifest
their constructive ability to win, to
institutionalize and to preserve liberty.
He did what no other "rebel'' ever had
been able to do-he commanded a rev.
olution which was not sterile, ineffec-
tive, wasteful and vain.
Historians still are at loss to ex-
plain him. They see that he was not
q supreme lawgiver, nor q superior
administrator, nor an unparalleled
diplomatist; icy think Of his states
manship a. being second-rate. They
find him not O master Of the science
and art Of war. nor even Q talented
strategist. They say he was not gifted
IN oratory. They read his letters and
ind them commonplace Not even as q
politician was no especially eminent.
But judged as q whole his career was
an unexampled success. He was, in
sober truth, the Father Of His Country.
AL that the Nation he founded became
derives In large part from what he was
The common people who love and re-
we're his memory understand him. His
greatness, they realize, was that Of
character.
So 1t Is not merely popular military
hero, not merely fortunate manager
Of men and events, that is celebrated
In the United States today. Rather, 1t
Is a man Of innate nobility, of serene
and liberal intelligence, of generous and
courageous heart, Of just and honorable
soul that Is honored. He appeared when
his hour struck He did his work He
achieved his purpose. In him later
generations find the inspiration for
further struggle toward the ultimate
goal Of "a new heaven in a new earth. !"

1t Is unfortunate that among the

national institutions. On a small scale such exist in Amer ica today in the form of "raf- fles," which do not differ in principle from the more pre- tentious lotteries of the past.
 But during the last hundred years the trend of sentiment throughout the world has been against lotteries, particularly in the United States, where dras- tic legislation for their sup pression has been enacted.
 Still the gambling instinct is perhaps as strong as ever and finds opportunities for express ion in many ways, ranging from the outright methods of the gambling table to lawful speculation in the markets and stock, regarding the morals of which there is much difference of opinion, even among the bet ter elements of society.

NATIONAL LOTTERIES

It may not be generally known that an American nat ional lottery was instituted by the Congress of 1776 and that between that date and 1920 at least seventy acts were passed by Congress authorizing lotter- ies for public purposes, such as schools, roads and other inn provements.
 During the presidency of Washington, Harvard College supported itself in part by a grand lottery, with capital prizes as high as $20,000.
 Most European governments have at some time or another employed national lotteries as a means of raising funds for the public treasuries, and municipal lotteries have been common.
 France financed the war of the Spanish Succession by a lottery which was not SUD- pressed until 1886. England authorized lotteries for harbor improvements and for the if nancing of the Virginia Comp any, which founded the early settlements in America, and raised government funds by that means until 1924.
 Religious and charitable in- stitutions were in some count ries permitted to operate lot teries bong after the govern ments had abolished them as
