ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE FIRST GREAT AMERICAN. Throughout the nation today homage is being given justly to George Washington the first Presi- dent of the United States. In describing the American Revolutionary period, James Truslow Adams, in his book “The Eplc of America,” cords that the first great step and legacy of the period was when secession became fact. He continues: Another was the character of Washington. In the travail of war and revolution, Am- erica had brought forth a man to be ranked with the greatest and noblest of any age in the world. There have been greater generals in the field and statesmen in the cabinet in cur own and other nations. There has been no greater character. When we think of Wask n, it is not as a military leader, nor as exccutive or diplomat. We think of the man who by sheer force of character held a divided and disorganized country to- gether until victory was achieved, and who, after peace was won, still held his dis- united countrymen by their love and respect and admiration for himsell until a nation was welded into enduring strength and unity. . . . It is a mistake to think of the America of 1776-83 as a nation of patriots pressing their services to gain their free- dom. It was hard to get men into the army, and to Kkeep them there. Often Washington had neither money nor food nor clothing to offer them. But he always had an army, pitifully small as it was at times, which held the flag flying in the field through love of him and confidence in the character which they sensed in his dignified presence. Without him the cause would have been irretrievably lost, and the thunder of the orators would- have "rumbled ‘long sifice into forgetful silence. . . . Legacy to America from these troubled years he is, apart from independence itself the noblest heritage of all. History records that Washington was one of the wealthiest men in the colonies at the outbreak of the revolution Many men of his class, the land-owning wealthy proprietory class, liquidated their fortunes as much as possible and left the new world for the homeland, England, to peaceful re- tirement rather than face not only secession but troublesome sectional clashes.
