CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Washington’s Day George Washington has been very much taken apart by the investigations of realist historians in the last few years and has been a great deal humanized by the oper- ation, ‘There has been a tendency to decry this conduct of recent biographers, notably Rupert Hughes, but the story of the Father of His Country which Hughes and others of his‘type of writers have given the American people {4s much more fascinating than the literary treacle it ‘used to be the fashion to spoon out in the biographies of earlier generations. These former works, as Weem’'s life of Washington, pave the nation an austere figure, a sort of Roman god, @ man of marble or of ice, a figure the American people ould honor, yet set apart from ‘them, as he certainly jwas not in the times in which he lived and served the. nation. ; How much more interesting was the Virginian, gen- eral and president whom Dr. J. O. Arnson described to the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs as a result of studying some recent biography by the realists, than the legendary ‘Washington of the powdered wig and aristocratic aloof- mess! The “Hands Off!” sign is lacking from the real The new Washington whom the iconoclastic biograph- lers have given us takes on something of the glamour ofthe homely Lincoln, He evidently was a man of strong impulses as well as repressions, a man of weak- nesses as well as strength, a man of mistakes as well as Buccesses, @ man who shared in the social customs of his f{imes not who shunned them, a man of humor as well ‘as sternness and a man of graces despite some shyness. Heretofore Washington has held a sphere entirely his ‘pwn in the estimation of the American people, but that ‘estimation has been entirely a conception that Washing- ton was “the” great American in an austere way. Lin- toln has been the great American of the humanized conception of @ national hero. The tendency of late has ‘been to turn Lincoln into a legend. Thus the na- tiotal. conceptions of the two are drawn toward each other by the late biographies of the Virginian, Both as the perfect national hero of the older era and as the more natural figure of these times, Washington remains the great example of what an American should be. Neither the unrealities of his former panegyrists mor the liberties the modern writers have taken with the national idol can depose, him from the pcdestal on which his own acts and the gratitude of an adulatory people have placed him for alltime. ee ‘This is his birthday anniversary and it always is good | to think a bit about the greatness of the first citizen of fhis country on these days, It helps evaluate what the fathers of the nation did for it in the dark days of its birth, in the travail of the Revolution and the discord- ‘ance .of organizing the government under the constitu- tion, Yt is easy to recognize the uncivilized peoples.

They | \ The Garden Season Nears Recent doings of the Bismarck Yard and Garden club &nd of the city beautifying committee of the Associa- tion of Commerce are reminders that’ the time-is draw- {ng nigh when the back yard garden or the flowering fawn will occupy the thoughts and labors of many a householder, in the peace of the evening. ‘The Yard and Garden club, it is expected, will, put | on another prize contest this summer, and that will Stimulate an interest in growing things—especially the ¥iner types of flowers—which already is classifiable as pure enthusiasm. Here in Bismarck gardening seems to be an art rath- ‘er than a mere hobby or even, as it is sometimes felt to be, @ vice. In the realm of. the aesthetic, the city uns largely to a love of flowers and of growing them. All of this never does anyone any harm, and occa- blonally the vegetables that are raised in these back yard Bardens are quite edible—or, if it’s another kind of Warden, the flowers that are grown can actually be plucked, put in @ vase and used to decorate a living room table. One wonders, though, why. it is that this annual pardening epidemic has never drawn the attention of. fee learned students of the American mind. Assuredly, Bhere must be something back of it all.” ‘There is, In the first place, keeping a back yard gar- fen is the hall mark of respectability, of placid and frustworthy domesticity. No man who putters about a fhine-by-eleven plot of dirt, in the evenings, with a Btained trowel and an aching pair of knees, would ever abscond with another's cash or with another's wife. To keep’ s-garden.on this modest scale is to assure your neighbors that. you are a man whom ‘the bitter winds of temptation do not ruffle. You are not, ina word, fligh- ty. There must be solid stuff in you. i But that is not the whole of it. Keeping agatden is not. simply an. attempt to get fresh vegetables or flow- ers. It is » sort of mystic rite; a method by which thé | there is no satisfaction for a “doer” in contemplating universe. He goes on his hands and knees to grub in the dirt, and he finds there something that the ordinary jobs of life do not give him. So, every spring, he does it again, Fleeting Idols There is a wide distinction between mere company and the companionship that, banishes loneliness. One may be in the midst of congenial company and still be lonely, for true companionship presupposes understand- ing end sympathy. ‘True companionship is akin to hero worship. An in- dividual fashions an ideal and searches for it in the flesh. Frequently he thinks he has found that hero. With all the enthusiasm of the votary he sings the idol’s praises, unbosoms himself of all his hopes and fears and rejoices that at last he has come upon his cherished ideal. But how often does man discover that his enthusiasm is unwarranted and that the dream so carefully nurtured must be shattered by disillusionment! By word or ges- ture, or even by silence, the hero reveals some prejudi- cial trait, be it conceit, cowardice, selfishness, narrow- ness, coldness, disloyalty, ignorance or plain stupidity, and the idol falls. And once fallen, all the king’s horses and all the king's men cannot put it together again. Some persons, to avoid these crushing disillusionments, attribute only one virtue to each of a number of friends and realize their ideal through a composite picture. This is possible where one can overlook the hundred other glaring faults in each part of the picture. Others may feel that the price of disillusionment is not too much to pay for a moment of idol worship, for brief surcease from that loneliness which comes from not having a confiding and trustworthy friend in the world. Man Is most critical of his best friends, otherwise friendships would not be such fleeting things. That old proverb, “I love. my friends well, but myself better,” ex- plains many broken friendships, ee Faith Faith"is the staff upon which lean those who do not know. To such, remove faith and there would be chaos. It is faith that makes governments stable; faith that makes paper money on a par with gold; faith that en- ables the world to do business on credit. The child, having everything yet to learn, believes everything it is told and thinks its parents omniscient. Denied faith, it would believe nothing not experienced or reasoned out in its own mind. If men were cattle, without the capacity to reason, they might live and die content without either faith or knowledge. Some do, But it is inevitable that those endowed with reason should speculate concerning the unknown, and equally inevitable that ignorance should inspire dread. . This dread of the unknown, among primitive people, expresses itself in superstitions, and superstitions fill the future with terrors and the present with follies. Faith and superstititon have little in common, for superstition has to do with fears; and faith has to do with hope. Su- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1980” ous class, Many people have been prejudiced against this. vegetable by believing it to be indigestible, but the trouble is that they have based their experience with it by eating the egg- plant in the fancy costume of a fried ese. Eggplant may be broiled, boiled and baked, but should never be fried in grease after first being dipped in egg. This produces an indigestible food. The plain eggplant is much more de- licious and digestible. If you will try some of the simple eggplant recipes I am sure you will enjoy the flavor which is spoiled with the egg and grease, The eggplant bears no relation to the food value of an egg, but takes its name solely from the shape. It contains a good deal of fibrous cellu- lose which is good for the intestines and is also rich iri potassium and alk- aline elements. Here are some ways of preparing eggplant for variety in the menu. Broiled eggplant: Cut in thin slices and place under a broiler, being turned over when delicately browned.

One ‘form of superstition is the fear that to examine or question beliefs shows lack of faith, How can faith survive in that which will not bear scrutinizing and analyzing? ‘True faith must rest on the conviction that all truth is good; that truth alone is worthy of man’s faith, To have faith is but to accept facts in advance of proof or discovery, 1 Time cures everything, eyen winter and summer. Editorial Comment Back to Work.at Highty (New York Evening Post) At what age should a business man retire? “You'll have to. ask someone older than J,” Charles R, Flint says in effect. ‘Two years-ago, at.78, he was convinced that only greed kept millionaires. struggling to increase their fortunes instead of seeking happiness in retirement. Evidently happiness is not what he supposed it to be. He has an- nounced that on Friday, his eightieth birthday, he will “go back: to work.” He is “fit,” and idleness does not suit him. a As long ago as 1923 Mr. Flint published “Memories of an Active Life.” Apparently he then had concluded his work was done. In Wall Street he was called “Father of the Trusts,” so many large business combinations had he organized. That field has become crowded since he began. His interests were world-wide.

That plan placed the two North- erns together but excluded the Burlington, which was made the nucleus of another system. The application for unification has been before the commission since July 8, 1927. The commission is un- derstood to have desired to get the consolidation plan out of the way before making its decision in this specific case, Northern’s merger proposal contemplated acquisition of control by new company, the Great Northern Pacific Railway-company, of the two lines under a 99-year lease and by stock ownership. ‘New company proposes to issue its stock an a share for share basis for the Northern's stock, for which purpose it requested authority to issue 4,970,076 shares of no-par common stock.
