Was made a resting place for him;
And this long since has become shrine
Where the hearts of his coutrymen entWtne.'
TO-DAY marks the 212th anniversary
i of George Washington.
In tender memory we clasp his hand.
His birthday occurs at time when
our country is fraught with dangers on
many sides.
Indeed, these are critical times that
lie heavy on mems hearts everywhere.
His deathless spirit still hovers over our
republic.
His is at once an inspiration and a battle
cry.
He commands the descendants of our glori-
Gus past to safeguard the bedrock of our
national ideals-iberty, justice and humanity.
No man has ever lived whose life and con-
duct have so deeply moved the hearts of people
as did the Father of his Country.
The purity of his life and the greatness Of
his character gave color and luster to his mar
tial deeds and public services and made his
name one of the few immortal souls that were
not born to die.
He was greatest of good men and the best
of great men.
He fought against intolerance, bigotry and
despotism
He fought for the sovereignty of man.
He was great enough to refuse a crown and
live life of private nobility; leading his people
to victory and peace and honor; leaving his
labors as a legacy of inspiration to his coun-
trymen.
Of no other man could it be said that he
stood at the gateway of life and opened wide
its portals that the people themselves might
enter and enjoy abundanty the riches of Gods
creation.
EFT us draw back the curtain of time and
IL for few moments live again with Gen.
Washington and his Continental soldiers.
They hated oppression and preferred death
to the shackles of heart and mind.
They loved liberty and were determined to
achieve it.

at the very time when competition
will be keenest and earnings re-
stricted to conversion costs.
Not only are Michigan firms
placed at competitive disadvantage
but companies with plants both here
and in other more progressive states
may find it advantageous to utilize
factories outside Michigan rather
than pay the penalty of higher taxes
here.
Action to protect Michigan indus
try in this respect is long overdue.
Wisconsin, which took such ac-
ton some time ago, and whose
present law is considered model,
obtained the united support of indus
try and labor on this measure and
the legislature unanimously passed
the required amendments.
1t were bootless to criticize Gov.
Kelly or the Michigan Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission for
neglect or lack of foresight. Now is
no time for recrimination. 1t is a
time to pull together for speedy en-
actment of progressive unemploy-
ment tax legislation.

to have offered his suggestion in
good faith with only the postwar
good Of the community in mind. 1t

manner.

@ SUGGESTION by Mayor Jeffries
- that unemployment compensa-
ton rates paid by war-swollen indus
tries be increased for the duration of
the war has much merit. 1t should
focus public attention on a dangerous
situation.
Anticipating the time when sud
den and widespread cancellation of
war contracts will result in at least
temporary unemployment, most of
the larger states are building up
their reserve funds from which Job
benefits must be paid
The more progressive states have
SO established their rate systems that
industries operating in their boun-
daries pay high rates during the war
period while they are engaged in
"non-competitive" business, but will
revert TO near minimum" rates
when peace comes.
Michigan, in unhappy contrast,
continued under the old system with
so-called merit ratings reducing pay
ments of war industries to an abso-
lutte minimum. As a result of this
short-visioned policy our reserve
fund is the lowest, percentage-wise,
among the larger states, and the
third lowest in the entire nation. NJ
Hence Michigan industry faces
the prospect of paying as much as 3
per cent more on gross pay rolls than

peace which marched with these ragged Con-
tinentals in their first bloody skirmish at
Bunker Hill, through the privations and hard
ships at Valley Forge, and on to a glorious
victory at Yorktown.
1t was that vision, nurtured with the blood
of our founding fathers and kept alive by their
heroic descendants, which has made our nation
great.
Our early settlers who pioneered the huge
wilderness, were sturdy frontiersmen who knew
the full meaning of liberty in the raw.
They endured every hardship in their bat
ties with nature and planted the seeds Of free
dom in our national life.
These hearty backwoodsmen cut through
the jungles of our infant nation to create
heritage for u.s. to prize and perpetuate.
Our liberty was not born in the market
place.
1t was purchased with the blood of our
patriots.
THE temple of liberty we call America is not
i building of mere chance but the product
of vision and sacrifice of those who were its
architects.
The fathers of our country dug deep to
the rocks of external truths and laid four great
cornerstones: freedom of worship freedom of
expression; freedom from oppression, and free
dom of opportunity.
On these cornerstones they constructed a
great plaza which they called the Constitution
of the United States. Thereon they raised three
great pillars.
One they called the Congress of the United
States-the voice of the people.
Another they called the Executive - the
servant of the people.
And the third they called the Supreme
Court-the arbiters of the people.
Over these columns they spread glorious
canopy, studded with the stars of a passing
might and streaked with the rays of coming
day. And over the portals of this temple they
inscribed these words:
my country It's of thee
Sweet land of Hberty." w

WaShinStOn'S Spirit Still Rules America

of the people. By the people and for the people"
This sublime political philosophy was born
and lived and practiced by men in past ages.
1t was the inspiration of our early settlers;
the beacon light of Washington and his found
ers; the torch that has illuminated the paths Of
future generations
Indeed, the same spirit motivated the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independence and the
members of the Constitutional Convention.
1t was this cardinal principle which Wash
ington so eloquently proclaimed to the world
in his stately utterances which Jefferson was
privileged to adopt in his historic documents,
which Jackson so CALAMITY exemplified in his
public actions, and for which Lincoln paid with
his life to perpetuate.
DOR the first time in history whole world
l. trembles under the fearful impact of total
war.
Like a great fire, its prongs engulf and
scar every continent and every people.
The battlefront is indeed the circumference
of the globe.
We are battling world conspiracy, the
most sinister of its kind in the annals of time.
We must extirpate these totalitarian ideolo-
gies from our midst.
Washingtons voice echoes down through
the corridors of the ages and infuses us with
greater courage to carry on.
Today, we are determined to emancipate
ourselves from lOTelSH pnIOSOpHleS, U upHoiu
and defend our liberties guaranteed us under
the Constitution; and to transmit them uninn-
paired to posterity
To these noble aspirations we dedicate our
selves without stint or limit and stand united
in our efforts to win the war.
May the love of country which Washing
ton so nobly inspired in his countrymen sus-
tain us, too, in our present trials and re-
strengthen our determination to crush those
vultures-in-arms who would destroy our
cherished Institutions

WASHINGTON, Feb. % -
w Progress is being made to-
ward rejuYenation of juvenile
discipline in home. school and
church.
The mayor of a large southern
city tells me he noticed 1t at a
recent parent-teachers meeting,
called TO consider the breaking
of windows, slashing of seats,
pulling of trolleys in streetcars
by school children. The con-
clusion of the meeting was:
"We have gone too far In
developing self-expression. We
must return to discipline"
He had not heard that in
such gatherings before.
can see it also in my mail
from all classes, all sections. A
great many civic leaders have
taken up the trend toward in
telligent modern promotion OF
disciplined integrity and char
acter.
A FORT WAYNE editor took
"A the whole juvenile delin-
quency problem to his high
school classes in sociology. After
full study and discussion, they
reached the same conclusion as
the PTA.
Society, they said, is too
willing to eendone questionable
actions on the part OF both
adults and children. Our valued
new freedom of expression. they
concluded, has not been accom-
panied by a parental care in
teaching children to live up TO
the responsibilities that go hand
in hand with such freedom.
Both school and church also
are responsible, they added,
urging school leadership to de-
velop a set of standards to es-
tablish character and integrity
promotion of child interest in
hobbies, religion, choosing of
good friends, etc.
But there is much to be done
and undone. Right here in
Washington, the public welfare
director. Milo F. Christensen.
has submitted proposals which,
to my mind, are prime eX-
amples of how not 10 do the
job.
MIR. CHRISTENSEN wants
4I $1.000,000 for more mid
city Fairgrounds, 1921 1854 for
10 more recreational areas.
$1,135, 900 for the first years
cost (S75,000 annually there
after) for swimming pools and
night illumination of recrea-
tional centers. This is a poll
tician's way.
If money could buy integrity
and character for children or
adults of this nation, no sum
could be too large to spend. The
evidence of all human kind
justifies the contrary conclu-
sion.
The boys and girls of Fl.
Wayne, in my opinion, know
more about the problem than
the district welfare director, or
at least have proposed a more
sensible solution.

DERHAPS I should not have

the murderer who has spent the
last % years in solitary con-
finement in Leavenworth and
AlcatraZ because now his press
agent is all over me with propa-
ganda about his wonderful serv-
ice to society in developing
remedies for the diseases OF
birds.
If il could be arranged to let
him resume his studies, that
might be a good idea, for he APP
parently has done work of con-
siderable value to the poultry
industry, but he and his cult
have brought themselves to
belief that he had a right, not
an unusual and revocable privi-
lege, 10 raise canaries in his
solitary cell at Leavenworth
and study their ills and carry
on sales for profit by mail all
over the country.
I SAY he apparently" has

self agent" for Robert Stroud,
says If the prison authorities
would really give the man ia
cilities he could greatly curtail
the loss of poultry, especially
turkeys.
He says also that Stroud has
way 10 shorten the war by
means Of something that could
be made cheaply in any brew
cry, but l don't believe that.
WARDEN LAWES, formerly
w of Sing Sing, who knows
this one, has said he should be
released now or never, for IL he
stays much longer he won't be
able to adjust himself TO the out
side.
Stroud feels very sorry for
himself and so do the members
Of the little cult of canary
breeders who think he should be
allowed 10 carry on his work.
They have lost sight OF the
fact that he Is twice a killer
and once was condemned and
received the gift of life by favor
from President Wilson in 1915.
However, il would he cruel
not 10 try TO imagine his own

done something to justify that
gift.
1t is hardly a question now Of
payment of his debt 10 society.
The weight of that debt can
not be measured against his
contribution 10 the world, but
his record proves he is not a

company of military leaders assem-
bIed at Frances Tavern iii New
York City planning TO offer Wash
ington a throne and crown and fully
expecting him to accept.
But Washington put an end to
the matter, for that time and for all
time, and then said simply and
democratlcally:
with a heart full of love and
gratitude, now take leave of you.
II most devoutly wish that your
latter days may be as prosperous and
happy as your former ones have
been glorious and honorable. --
II cannot come to each of you
to take my leave, but shall be obliged
to you if each will come and take me
by the hand"
Never thereafter did any man
speak again to George Washington
of being king.
THERE was another later and
L significant occasion, after Mr..
Washington was President, when
skeptical friend doubted his demo-
cratic sincerity.
President Washington heard
that John Francis Mercer of Mary
land was utilizing his supposed presi-
dental favor for "electioneering
purposes.
Mr.. Mercer was then governor
Of Maryland and was running for
Congress.
The President wrote to him that
there had been the most scrupulous
and pointed caution observed on my
part NOT to express sentiment re-
speeding the fitness or unfitness OF
any candidate for representative that
could be construed, by the most vio-
lent torture of the words, into an
interference in favor of one or to the
prejudice Of another =.
"Such measure would have
been incompatible with the rule / had
prescribed to myself and which I had
invariably observed, of not interior.
ing, directly or indirectly, WITH
THE SUFFRAGES OF THE
PEOPLE"
That is the manner in which
George Washington secured and
maintained the place in American
history to which he aspired.
That is how American democ-
racy came to be established.
That is why the child of any
American can aspire to and attain
that honored place "as my fathers
child has (which is the way Wash
ington wanted it to be one, and the
way Lincoln said it had come to be.
That is why the name of Wash
ington is THE MIGHTIEST NAME
ON EARTH.
This is the anniversary today,
not just of the birth of great man,
but of the historic beginning of
FREE AMERICA.
