George Washington.

There Is no mystery about George
Washington. He was first in war, first
in peace and first in the hearts of his
countrymen' because of the elemental
greatness of his character Men still
find him trustworthy. He endures be-
cause Of his essential integrity-a value
which child can understand.
Surveyor and mathematician, farmer
and citizen soldier, statesman and
administrator, diplomatst in the best
meaning of the word, mentor and guide
for millions in an age Of chaos, church.
man and patriot, above all a profound
and intensely practical philosopher, he
personifed the noblest. the most useful,
the most notably durable qualities of
the ideal American leader. Another
civilization might have produced him,
yet none other did. He was the finest
flower of Colonial culture which was
close to the soil, near to humanity at
large, natively free but definitely re-
sponsible, instinct with disciplined
reality. Latterly, the beneficiaries of
his services may take him for granted,
think of him only in the fulfillment of
achievement, success and acclaim 1t
is possible that his struggles-the
tedious labors Of his long career-are
forgotten
II so, the circumstance is regrettable
q hi ch IA
one who lived and toiled through many
crises. He was the father of a nation,
heavily burdened. The obligations he
assumed at the demand of the people
bowed his heart with sorrow. Exempt
from ambition, he was drafted to fame,
conscripted to Immortality. But he
earned the gratitude Of innumerable
generations by the manner in which he
met the challenge of his destiny From
first to last he maintained his soul
alive, without compromise of any sort.
He never stopped. There was no mean
ness in him. He conceded nothing to
expediency, cared little for parties,
recognized no class nor sectional claim,
was not politician. In brief, he was
honest and honorable by nature, by
choice and decision. His notebooks and
his correspondence prove how deliber-
ately he kept himself above the battle.
Looking back upon him, the world
sees him as a self-governed spirit,
courageous and loyal, sympathetic and
generous, rich in triumph over circum-
stance. He might have been 4 king.
Instead, he Is symbol Of what the
race may be when. by processes of
devotion and Of pain, it rises from the
dust. No wonder Lord Brousham said:
THE test Of the progress Of mankind
will be in the appreciation Of the
character Of Washington"

A FLYERS Dilemma.

1t is not difficult to sympathize with
the plight of Col. Davenport johnson,
Of the Army Air Corps. who has been re-
lieved Of his command for plotting Paul
v. McNutt, High Commissioner Of the
Philippines, from San Francisco to
Denver, where 1ndianas "favorite son"
was billed as guest Of honor at political
festival.
Undoubtedly Col johnson was aware
Of the Army regulation which forbids
such flights unless by express permission
Of the Secretary OF War or Chief Of
Staff. 1t must be equally clear, however,
that his position was not an enviable one
when Commissioner McNutt, 4 power in
the Democratic party and a prominent
candidate for its presidential nomina-
ton in 1910, asked to be flown to Denver
in order to keep his engagement, Offering
to assume all responsibility" for the
flight. To refuse, after being unable
to contact his superiors, would have
required a keener political sense than
Army officers can reasonably be expected
to possess.
The situation would be all the more
regrettable If there is truth in the as
sumption Of Col. Johnsons friends that
his punishment reflects 4 desire on the
part Of the powers that be to convey to
Commissioner McNutt the intimation
that his candidacy is not welcome in the
inner circle. If that be the underlying
motive in this case 1t should be pointed
out that simpler and more equitable

Washington's City.

The folk tales and histories that tell
Of George Washington from the chopping
down Of the cherry tree on Ferry farm
to his ceaseless labor as the Father of
his country leave little to say Of this
national hero that has not already been
said thousands Of times over.
The voluminous writings on his life
and works, however. often fail to include
emphasis on Washingtons interest and
labor In behalf of the city which as the
Nations Capital now bears his name.
At the time before l7s0, when con-
siderable effort was being made in Con-
gress to locate the Capital farther north
on the Delaware, near Trenton, WASH
inston strongly favored the selection Of
a site on the banks OF the Potomac. He
firmly believed that 1t would be the out
let for the rich and the fertile Ohio
Valley.
Later, when his dream became a par
tial reality through the designation Of
the Potomac site as that for the Nations
Capital, he was largely responsible for
the selection of Major Pierre Charles
L'Enfant as architect for the new city
after observing the work of the French
engineer on the New York City Hall.
Still later, when land sales in the Dis
trict were tagging and development was
slow, Washington was so concerned lest
Congress pack up and move because of
dissatisfaction with living conditions, that
he caused to be built at his own expense
several boarding houses to accommodate
its members.
The fate OF the infant Capital was
precarious in those days and the gen.
eral development OF the area into its
present proportions as thing Of
beauty" and a "joy forever" owes much
to his support and interest. 1t is there
fore fitting that its citizens should do
him honor today both as a national hero
and as local benefactor.

Of course. In the meantime two condi-
tions Of responsibility were created by
yesterdays vote.
First is the responsibility upon the
Congress, particularly the Senate. to
speed Its current pace In considering es-
sential legislation. The slowing Of in
dustry which appeared suddenly last
fall has increased unemployment and
added greatly to the demands for public
relief. An emergency is now acknowl-
edged and special appropriation legisla-
ton to cope with the problem Is await
ing Senate concurrence.
Tax revision has been promised by
administration leaders and the country
awaits 1t anxiously. Long and careful
attention is essential to any action Of
such Importance and the sooner 1t can
be given the sooner taxpayers may make
their plans on basis Of fact rather than
of speculation.
Departmental appropriation bills and
other important issues also have been
standing in abeyance while Senators de-
voted seven weeks to oratory that more
often than not avoided the subject of
lynching but left no time for activities
more effective of results.
The second responsibility is that i'm
posed more heavily upon the Southern
States to exercise their own control Of
the lynching evil. For years it has been
a declining practice and opponents Of
the Federal legislation made much Of
this trend. Now, more than ever, it
will be their obligation to see that this
preferred trend continues, guaranteed
possibly by increasingly rigid local law
and enforcement

Unlighted Safety Zones

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Without any desire to excuse the driver
who left the scene Of an accident on
Saturday night which added one more
death to the list of automobile fatalities
here in the District 1t is an indisputable
distinct menace. On rainy or foggy
night it is next to impossible for the
driver of an automobile to see the outline
of safety zone until he is almost upon
it.
Why is it not possible for the District
to equip such safety zones with either
lights in the present buttons, or outline
the zones in reflectors?
