GEORGE WASHINGTON
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS ago occurred the birth of
one of the greatest of the world’s great men. George Washington, first !
president of the country in which we at present live.
To many persons Washington represented only an idealistic figure
in the history Of the nation, a wonderful personality surely, yet one whose
counterpart may be found somewhere among the historied figures of nearly
every nation of long lineage; a man, doubtless great possessing many vir
tue* and attributes to distinguish him from his fellows, yet. whose claims
to veneration are rather the result of years of beautiful memory than of
actual merit. The history of nearly every nation discloses some one per
son who is credited with the possession of personal qualities of the highest
order; one who towers like some colossus above the fellows of his race
and'who is generously accepted by his countrymen as having been the
living personification of all possible human virtues. No nation hut has
Its national hero, no race but has possessed someone to whom it looked
with ^reverence and the fond belief that in him reposed all that was noble,
brave and virtuous.
1 This is natural.
Yet, it is to the glory of America that among all those heroes whose
light has shown in darkness and turmoil of national discord and distress,
none have achieved such illustrious fame in the thots of all mankind,
regardless of race or creed, as has been granted to Washington. This is
perhaps the greatest proof that his fame rests not on a purely national
Tegard, that the honor and reverence accorded him is founded not on one
great quality of virtue, alone, but upon many.
Indeed in all the history of men there are few In whom the universal
mother has combined so many great qualities as were displayed In the
life and acts of this great American. As one retraces the years that
elapses between his taking command of the American forces until he laid
down his office at the conclusion of his last term as president of the great
republic which had been born of his mighty efforts, one cannot but realize
that here was one whom the gods had indeed endowed.
Compared with him, bow the other great figures of the period,
even the greatest, shrink and diminish. The spiritual dignity of his
altruism sits not upon Franklin; his breadth and catholic charity of
judgment belonged neither to Hamilton nor Jefferson; and who would
compare with the Madisons, the Jays, the Morrises or the Ameses or others
Of the time, able men tho they were. Dignity, steadfastness, uprightness,
serenity, wisdom and prudence, combined with a courage which no fear
could conquer, no calamity disturb—all these were his and, over all. was
a glorious regard for the rights of humanity, both friend and foe. A
perfect equipoise of powers which, taken separately, would not be supreme,
appears to be the characteristic marks of his rare type of genius, yet com
bined they served to make him superlatively great.
It is idle to deny that he was the guiding star, the very soul of
the American battle for freedom. As one looks back on that great strug
gle it is clearly perceived that under providence the issue of the mighty
struggle depended upon him. Had he lost heart at the bickerings of the
people at large; had he grown weary of correcting the blunders of his
subordinates, tho they at times threatened distruction, had be disdained to
control a fatuous and unreasoning congress or had his nerves given away
at the sight of the suffering at Valley Forge, that bitterest period of his
career; had his spirit wavered at a single defeat—in short, had he been
anything but the noble patriot and the great commander that he was. the
course of history might have been changed and the United States might
have died in its birth. But he was Washington—the noblest figure that
any people has ever set in the forefront of its life and history.
While he lived and fought on in the face of almost overwhelming
odds with his pitiful handful of ragged troops, the union was maintained
In spite of all state squabbles and civil dissentions; while he was in com
mand even an alliance with France must be one which America could
accept without loss of dignity; while his brave heart beat, repulse and
discouragement meant only fresh resolve and hardship and suffering only
more splendid rewards of triumph.
His career as a warrior does not enthrall us as does that of Alexan
der nor does it leave us breathless as does that of Caesar but that be was
worthy to rank vilh theworui's grea'e.j1 commanders no mar. of Judgment
will deny. As a statesman he was the chief figure of his administration.
He possibly had not the analytical mind of Hamilton nor the philosophic
grasp of Jefferson, those two great founders of parties, but that he guided
them to his own devices the history, of his day bears witness. As a man
he shone with a dignity seldom surpassed. In all things* he was what the
world has long since declared him—great in peace, great in war and truly
“the father of his country.**

“The greatest of all great men,"
sa$« a well known encyclopedia in
commenting on George Washington,
and a study of this noble character
must inevitably lead us all to that
same conclusion.
Born in the midst of plenty and
with every inducement to lead the
sedentary life of a rich colonist, he
donned the buckskins of the pioneer
and plunged into the dangerous
frontier life of that period. No man
learned to awing an aex, shoot a
rifle, adapt himself to the unbroken
wilderness, or to display a greater
fortitude under distress than young
Washington.
In later years when the result of
this early training asserted itself,
there never was a question as to who
should lead the colonists against
their British aggressors—Who, but
Washington?
HI* c«M»lness daring, unswerving
fidelity to the highest ideals, com
manding presence and keenest of
judgment was the pillar of sVengili
on which our great nation was huilt.
He was "The Father of our t'oun-|
try," the greatest on Earth todaX.
FATHER: “My hoy. when Wash
ington was your age he could ride 1
any horse, stood first in his class at
school, and never told a lie."
SON: "Yes. pop, and when he (
was your age he was general of the]
whole American army."
The "movies" wore a success,
folks. The day was perfect; the
crowd entered into the spirit of tie
thing with fine enthusiasm. and
some splendid dog teams volunteer

that Nome is on the map. The Leg
