It must not be thought that it was only as a brain workcr that he toiled; he labored with his-hand:. Few Virginians were better skilled in the use ¢f the woodman’s ax, the saw, and the plow. Few men started earlier in life earning their living, and few continued the habit of work go loug. Circumstances made George Washing- ton the brilliant commander and the President, but it \\as '.is own hands and the muscles back of them t) « laid the foundation for his own per- sono! forties as measured in acres, or health and physica! .{rength. When George was 14 he was put in the “way of ge‘ting a living.” First it was proposed that he learn the sevman’s trade, and arrangements were rac: to ser” him out on a tobacco-carrying ship. Wir mothc:'s tear of the sea shifted these plans, a. the young boy turned his ambition to- ward tie surveyor’s transit. By dint of hard work, iain and br:’n, Washington became a good surveyor, one of the best and most indus- trious {2 che colonies. | This Washington habit of work: clung to the young man througho.: middle age. The only time he left:it was to fight, first the Indians for the protection of the white settlers, and later, the British, for the independence of the colonies. Be- tween wars and battles he worked. { “It. kept Washington young and strong, both mentally «nd physically,” points out Lodge. “As with his body so with his mind. He never rusted. A practical carpenter and smith, he brought the same quiet intelligence and firm will to the forg- ing of iron or the felling and sawing of trees that he displaycd in fighting.” _ | Public affairs took up much of Washington’s time and atiention. But even in army camp, legis- lative hall, or executive mansion, Washington’s brain and brawn co-operated in the service of his rountry, just as they did later on, when, having Jeft the presidency, he again became the private citizen, the farmer of Mt. Vernon. ‘His last years of life witnessed the continuation of his habit of toil, mentally and-phiysidally, , Just a few days before his death “he :mou this horse and rode off for his usual round of duties . . The next morning snow was still falling so that he did not ride, and he complained of a slight sore throat, but, nevertheless, went out in the afternoon to mark some trees that were to, be cut.” ‘That was his last workday. It was the end of a workingman’s life, a life which rec- gnized the fact that there are but few sources ‘pf real happiness, and that one of the greatest of ‘these is work, mental or physical, or both. : CANADA’S RAILROADS Canada . has a “railroad problem.” to The Domirion long has had her strong roads, and her weak roads. Also, she has dabbled in the gov- d railway: (Intercolonial) for years. Dui. g ‘he war she added to her stock of govern- me re: and operated roads by taking over the no:- ying branch>s of the Grand Trunk. Mvre rev atly the whole of the Grand Trunk has dev 4." over by the government, and now the. ‘Uwe lines, the strong and paying Can- ‘adian Par'fic, vd the National, or government- vowned lire, atter includes all the Grand ‘Tri ‘<, Interce) cl and smaller lines, 23,375 mil: * ‘rack, ot which 1,800 is in the United State: vresenting an investment of more than $1,200 ~ 000. é the ©nactan go -nment has invented a gov- fernme::{ cor.oratio:. scheme to handle the Na- stiona’ = sten.; che government owns the stock vend c.ccus the board cf directors; parliament has mothing to do with tov operation. + Canada expects to face an annual railroad de- Sicit for some y«.rs to come, and this is to be paid ‘gt of the public treasury, “Eventually, with sstrict railroad management and economy,” pre- “dicts Graham Bell, deputy minister of railways, lation of the prohibition laws was released because ‘govern’ cent roads will develop into a -paying the authorities didn’t consider the smell in his proposition.” “Eventually” is a very comprehenzivs ‘tion. Before is hope and soft airs, and the flow- ers, the sweet season of hay.” BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THE GLADSOME SPRING’ Spring is, take it from Tennyson, “the boyhood of the year.” Mrs. Barblaud, being a woman, naturally enough recognizes the season as the “sweet daughter of the rough and stormy sire, hoar win- ter’s blooming child, delightful spring.” But be it the boyhood, or the girlhood, of the year, spring is spring, and there is nothing else in all the calendar to equal it, for spring is promise, and hope, the threshhold to bright days, happy days. It is, as Leigh Hunt so finely put it, “the golden line drawn between winter and summer. Behind all is blackness and darkness and dissalu- “It is goad to be alive in the springtime of the year!” TOMORROW’S POWER A few years ago the hardy sons of New England sailed the summer and the winter seas in search of the whale and.a few vats of whale oil supplied the world’s need. Today oil comes from the heart of mother| earth, in-great black gushers, boiling out in rivers, trickling out in greasy streams, sometimes only oozing through the soil, but these rviers and lakes and little streams, however fast they flow, are ever an ebb tide when the surge of the world’s de- mand is considered. How long will the “gas age” last, and what is next? Engineers who are looking ahead for genera- tions, say electricity will be the coming force. Rivers are being located on for power projects that may not be developed for twenty years, but capital sees ahead and is getting ready. The west has water. power by the hundreds of thousands of horsepower yet untouched. High- power transmission lines. will take this hundreds of miles; new improvements in storage batteries | will make electricity available for truck, tram, railroad train and, maybe aeroplane. MORE JAPANESE An increased marriage rate, a lower death rate, a decrease in divorces, more births than anywhere else in the world. Where did it happen? Japan. During 1917 the population of Japan, includ- ing the colonial possessions, registered a net in- créase from births of 612,774. The total re- corded births for that year is 8,843,028, and the deaths 1,230,279. This was a higher birth rate than anywhere else except Roumania and Hun-7 gary in 1914. War conditions obviously reduced the birth rates in both those countries below that of Japan. Divorce in Japan is very simple, involving mainly the decision of one or the other party to the marriage to eancel. it, with the sanction of the family council. In this respect it resembles the marriage laws of Soviet Russia. In spite of this simple proceeding, there was a decrease of 1,452 in the year’s divorces. . With Japan growing normally at this tremen- dous rate, with its density of population as great as in overcrowded Great Britain, where are the coming generations of the Flowery Kingdom to find domicile? The Japanese’ sphiere-of influence in Siberia now extends a§ far west.as. the Japan sea. ‘It may be that the young’ Turks will start an- other war. But the old birds have learned a thing or two. Tf a decision is reached to drive foreigners out of Fiume, d’Annunzio will interpret the’ word “foreigners.” This. will be a tame presidential campaign if the press agents organize and strike for standards. Nee a It is well enough to remember Austria’s sins, but remembrance shouldn’t make us forget her starving children.. Senator Thomas of Colorado appeals eloquently for bi-metalism as a means of helping Europe and Colorado silver miners. Bavarian mobs that howl “Down with France” should remember that they couldn’t keep her down when they had her there. When private owners get back the railroads they will know how the old man felt when the prodigal son came home dead ‘broke., City folks shall know a thing or two about rising prices of food when the farmer quits the habit of rising at 4 a. m.
