The Noblest American ‘ ay, February 22, is the one hundred ninety- pb et ikateh of the birth of the foremost American of all time. Of late, there has been a considerable amount of propaganda spread over the country to belittle our Revolutionary heroes, and this man has been a center of attack. Inter- nationalists have been charged with this prop- aganda, particularly Englishmen. But no de- cent Englishman would lend himself to such practice. For the benefit of his traducers the fol- lowing excerpts are taken from foreign opin- ion of George Washington: “T have a large acquaintance among the most exalted class of men, but you are the only hu- man being for whom I feel an awful reverence. —Lord Erskine, in letter to Washington, 1797. “Tt will always be well with Washington. He is the greatest of men, and he will be venerated by mankind when my fame shall be lost in the yortex of revolutions.” Napoleon Bonaparte. “The purest and noblest character of modern times—possibly of all times.’—Duke of Wel]- or h the most virtuow “Of all at men he was the most vi is and the cae fortunate. In this world God has no higher favor to bestow.”—Guizot, French Historian. “No nobler figure ever stood in the forefront of a nation’s life.’—Green, British Historian. “Washington invested everything he touched with a kind of sacredness.’—Von Holst, Ger- man Historian. “If, among all the pedestals supplied by his- tory for public characters of extraordinary no- bility and purity, I saw one higher than all the rest, and if I were required at a moment's no- tice to name the fittest occupant for it, I think my choice at any time during the last forty-five years would have lighted, as it would now alight upon Washington.”—W. EB. Gladstone. “Washington is indeed a far more perfect char- acter (than Hamilton). Washington’ stands alone and unapproachable, like a snow-peak ris- ing above its fellows in the clear air of morn- ing, with a dignity, constancy, and purity which have made him the ideal type of civic virtue to succeeding generations. No greater benefit could have befallen the republic than to have such a type set from ithe first before the eye and mind of the people.”—James Bryce, American Com- monwealth, Vol 2, page 8. “The greatest of our own or of any age.”— Lord Brougham. “From the oldest soldier of Europe to the greatest soldier in the world.”—Frederick ‘the Great, when he presented Washington with his sword, Alison, the British historian, said of Wash- ington’s farewell address: “Unequalled by any composition of uninspired wisdom.” When the younger Pitt was challenged to give his meaning of the principles of neutrality, he replied: “The principles laid down in the pres idency of Washington.” The opinions of such men should shame to si- lence the voices of Washington’s defamers, and strengthen the faith of American youth in the virtue and manhood of the Father of Our Coun- try. \ Heap Chaff—Few Grains Wheat Newspapers with a combined circulation of twenty-seven million printed the Bok peace prize ballot at least once. In addition over ten million separate ballots have been printed and given away. On the day of the award of the prize, onc month after the balloting began, there had been cast four hundred and one thousahd votes. That means that about one out of every ninety-two ballots fell into the hands of a person willing to take the trouble to vote and spend two cents to mail hig ballot to the Bok organization. Not a very impressive showing, and the fact that the votes have been about seven to one in favor of the plan means nothing at all. The wonder is that anybody opposed to the scheme should have thought it worth while to vote at all. The 91 people who refused to vote, for every one who did vote, must be considered. It may be said that many of them are not qualified to give an opinion on such a subject. But they are the ones who make up our armies and endure the privations at home “when the country is at war. Their views are entitled to the Bame ro spect as those of the jury of award. Were the full meaning of the Bok plan to be made clear to'them, it is probable that their denunciation of it would be well night wanimous. His Sensitiveness George Creel, notorious editor of the Official | Gazette during war days, s he was “shocked” | en money paid him for some work done in 1920 came from Mr. Doheny, the oil man, and that he promptly resigned from the employ- ment. The high moral plane assumed by Creel comek also as a shock to former readers of the Gazette. Editor Creel thought nothing of broad casting to the whole American people that a huge airplane fleet was on its way to France, when not a! single complete plane had been loaded on ship-! board, and that all but two of our soldiers killed overseas had been identified. Those were the days of the busy censor, whey the public had no means of checking up on the astonishing asser- tions of the official Gazette. Nowadays we have a senate committee that ieeps the country sup- plied with every bit of information regarding! accounts for the reversal of Mr. Creei’s morals. Backine Up and Backino Out To adopt thé circumlocutory language of Frank A. Vanderlip, several million people are broadcasting the fact that a rumor is being boardcasted that Mr. Vanderlip left the vitness stand a sadly discredited man, following his testimony before the committee on public lands. Admitting that he had not a shred of evidence nor a morsel of fact to support what his Briar Cliffe audience of a few evenings before must have accepted as inferenée that the late War- ren G. Harding's sale of the Marion Star was open to suspicion, the retired banker presented a pitiable spectacle of Dame Gossip unfrocked. The committee rooms were crewded with the four estates on the day Mr. Vanderlip took the stand to explain his poisonous thrust at the memory of the dead _ president. Washington thought that this man of high financial and so- cial standing might have had justification for his strictureg and that the corner of “the shroud” |® f which he had raised was to be followed by the exposure of the entire body. The audience list- ened to Mr. Vanderlip’s feeble explanations with disgust amounting to nausea. The conumittee turned the gentleman inside ont and they dis- covered nothing but a disordered imagination. The most that Vanderlip could way was that he had heard rumors from a dozen sources that the sale by Mr. Harding of the Marion Star to Messrs. Brush and Moore would not bear the light of day; that he believed it a “patriotic duty” to peddle these rumors wholesale to his audience in order that his “broadcasting” might precipitate an investifation of the transaction by the committee. “I was a lifelong friend of Mr. Harding,” declared Mr. Vanderlip. “I want- ed to clear his memory. That was my only pur- pose.” The sense of the audience, indivdually ex- pressed, seemed to be, “Heaven protect me from such a friend!” Tn his speech directing invidious attention to}! the Marion Star sale Mr. Vanderlip had inquir- ed: “Where did the money cone from? Where did it go? These are matters of public interest.” As was well pointed out hy Senator Adame, Democrat of Colorado, such a question must of necessity have caused the auditors to speculate on the matter. Yet Mr. Vanderlip declared these questions to be “all a part of the rumor.” Fol- lowing them, in his address he intimated the senate “did not go further in ‘investigating Sec- retary Fall, because Fall was ready to peach and what he would have said would have gone into high places. They didn’t dare.” Having pass- ed that on to his audience in Briar Cliffe, he told the committee in Washington, “that was my own personal inference.” The committee showed Mr. Vanderlip that to have insisted on Fall’s test- ifying would- have rendered the former secre- tary of the interior immune from criminal prose- cution. ignorance of ang fact He had disseminated base men of no financial standing whe purchased” the Marion Star, or of the committee investigat- ing the oil scandal, or any one. If he had been uttering counterfeit money in this manner he would have been indicted by legal process. Bat to spread a rumor which traduced the dead was “a patriotic duty.” As the investigation prog- ressed the aged banker became highly nervous. His face twitched, his fingers fluttered. Ohe was reminded of the line, “his coward lips did-from their color fly.” He attempted to distinguish be- tween gossip and rumor. “¥ was stating the: Was such a rumor, not giving currency to said he. But the report of his address which he was given opportunity to correct, purported to state facts, not rumors.” There was suppressed laughter among the press representatives as Vanderlip made his rhetorical distinctions which Jay him open to the flat charge of scandal-mongering. As the banker quit his chair it became manifest that though the last long sleep of Warren G. Hard- ing may have been rudely interrupted, it could be resumed without fear of another disturbance }. from this source. Vandrlip had failed miserably to make out a case or an excuse. The corner of ae shroud had dropped back to its wonted posi- tion. Economy; and Reduction In an effort to get some little credit for its party out of the great accomplishments of the Republican ‘administration, the Democratic New York World, the leading spokesman for its par- ty says that President Coolidge “is ‘the third president to stand by the budget.” That state- ment.was. made in an editorial very warmly praising President Coolidge and President Hard- ing for the good work they accomplished for economy and for reduction of public expendi- tures and taxes. The fact is, however, that the budget law did not become effective until the Harding adminis- tration. ‘The Republican congress in the last year of the previous administration passed a budget law, similar to the present one, but it was vetoed. The succeeding congress passed it again and President Harding signed it. It is the law that is in force at present and perform- ing such splendid work. The gerat economies made by the Republi- can administration under Harding and Coolidge | have been made possible chiefly by the co-oper- ation of the executive departments with con- gress through the budget bureau. While it is true that congress has made appropriations in amounts smaller than asked for by the Budget bureau, there is no doubt that congress has had} great help from the budget bureau by reason o: reductd estimates as compared with the orig- inal estimates emanating from the various de- partments. The budget bureau has slashed the} estimates in the first instance and congress has slashed them again when they came before that body for final action. The New York World pays a deserved tribute to the Republican administration when it says that “President Coolidge’s address to the gov- ernment's business organization was admirable | for its concise demands for administrative and} legislative economy—Nor must Director Lord of the burean of the budget be forgotten. He is, as the president says, the eyes and ears of the chief executive.
