From more than mere habit do the American people pause annually to ob- serve the day on which, in 178 George Washington was born. For it has come to be recognized as a duty of citizenship to pay this tribute year by year to the man to whom, of all those who helped in the creation and the maintenance of the republic, the TUnited States owes the most in re- spect and affection. 1t is difficult to conceive what the new union of the states would have been without Washington's guidance and confidence and wisdom of administration. It might have been a failure. It might have been a less complete succ than it proved. His sagac his judgment, his precision of perception were factors in the de- velopment of the republic. He had able men in close association with him. They loyally served to the same end as he. They devoted themselves as unselfishly to the great task of bringing into union the widely diver- gent interests upon whose conflicts the British crown relied confidently for the failure of the American ex- periment. ‘Washington had faith in the possi- bility of the new venture. He had served it in the field of war, through trials greater than any American had endured before. He realized, as per- haps did few others, how grave was the danger of dissolution through jealousy and intrigue. He knew how weak was the first plan of confedera- tion, and to him was due in great measure the success of the effort to substitute a more stable form of or- ~ ganization. ‘We think chiefly of Washington as the soldier and the executive, and rarely of him as the creative states- man, the presiding officer of the Con- stitutional Convention, which was as important an effort as any of the mili- tary victories or the initial construc- tive enactments of the reorganized Congress. In that assemblage Wagh- ington was a force of the greatest value. His counsel was uniformly sound. That the structure built upon the foundations then laid should re- quire him as its chief factor was prob- ably not in his intimate calculations as he sat during the anxious weeks of discussion as the chairman of a stout- ly contending body of delegates. Per- sonal advantage or renown or reward was nothing to him then. Yet he wvalued the honor bestowed upon him, valued it the more because it came to him without contest or question. A man of less ability and smaller soul would have displayed his short- comings in the exalted place to which his countrymen called George Wash- ington. It was a severe test. For the first time in history a man had been chosen by his fellows to lead them in their government on a large scale. Democracy had been tried be- fore, In the remote past, but had failed. It had never been tried before 80 largely, or in such conditions. This was no small, compact state that elected a man of the people to take command, but a widely flung series of states, with a range in latitude great- er than the whole of central Europe. It required a truly great man to fill the role. ‘Washington was misunderstood by some of his countrymen while he en- deavored to administer their affairs with the dignity suitable to the posi- George tion to which he was summoned.|{p,, pecome a serious question, how- Some of them accused him of aspir- ing to a monarchy; how unjustly is well proved by his own acts and words. He was by nature aristocratic in style, in bearing and in thought. Yet & truer democrat never lived. He had descended from a noble lineage. Geneologists have even traced his an- cestry back to the kings of France and England. Yet he had labored with his hands, had tilled the soil, had worked without default in all manner of employments in his younger life. He became, in office, the gentleman of the period and his demeanor some- what jarred those of small under- standing who could not distinguish between high character and unworthy ambition. Today, more than 121 years after his death, George Washington is a living reality to the millions who ob- «gerve his natal day. The government is quite a different sort of organiza- tion from that which he conceived as possible. Wonderful changes have taken place. A marvelous develop- ment has come about in the course of these many decades. Yet the figure of Washington remains vividly real and human in the minds of the Ameri- can people. He is not a mere tradi- tion. His peculiarities of character are intimately known. His words are currently quoted. His personal ap- pearance is familiar. He Is, indeed, living “in the hearts of his country- men.” And that is why on this an- nual occasion the country pauses to pay him the tribute of gratitude and respect and devotion. Republican Control. Mr. Harding is quoted as saying: “It will be a republican cabinet, whol- 1y republican, and one that I shall be proud to sponsor.” The right note, and sounded, we may all be sure, with absolute sin- cerity. Altbough so many democrats par- ticivated in it. last year’'s victory was « sepublican yictogys The-gicket: guas) A republican, nominated by a repub- lican national convention on & plat- form of republican principles. Votes were solicited in the name of the re- publican party. The people, therefore, voted with knowledge and their eyes wide open. The victors, pledged to the hilt, must in office redeem what was ‘promised and vowed” in the republican name. | Any other course would show not only bad faith, but exceedinly poor politics. As a matfer of fact, good faith is the best politics. In politics, as in other things, honesty is the best policy. Even the democrats who voted for Mr. Harding on a republican platform ex-| pect republican action from him in the White House. But will thess men support at the next trial of conclusions at the polls action thus taken? They are not so pledged. Their further co-operation with the repub- licans depends on the results of that action. If it pleases them, and the country shows revival under it, many of them are likely to vote to bring in another republican Congress. I it does not please, and the country does not revive under it, all of them will be at full liberty to return to their old affiliations. Let us continue to have straight! party government, with the voters, as ;always, free to change from one party to another as their own views change respecting the best means of serving the public interests. George Washington University. The observance of the centennial of George Washington University during the present week is not only of local but of national interest. Nearly coinci- dent in its inception with the founda- tion of the National Capital, it has kept pace with the growth of Wash- ington. Beginning with thirty-nine students, it has grown until 5,000 are now annually enrolled. Responding to the expressed desire of George Washington that there should be an institution of learning in the new city which was given his name, the far-seeing founders of the university sought and obtained from Congress a charter 8o broad and com- plete in its character that it has served the university to the present time. Statesmen, judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, members of presidential cabinets, men of na- tional fame, officials from all depart- ments of the government have served as trustees and professors of the uni- versity and have shaped its policies and molded and fostered its national and local influence. It may even claim to have had inter- national influence, since at its first commencement, December 15, 1824, an honored guest was Gen. Lafayette, who was then on his visit to the United States. The records of the university show that John Quincy Adams loaned the institution at one time $20,000 and made it a gift of $7,500 of this amount. During the administratién of An- drew Jackson Congress in 1832 grant- ed the university, then known as Co- lumbian College, $25,000 in Washing- ton city lots. Through the vicissitudes of war and financial depression it has perpetuated its life and has passed through the struggles that all growing educational institutions must have. 1t has sent its sons and its teachers to participate in “the nation's wars, and many of them have given their lives in their country’s defense. In the last few years the institution has grown by leaps and bounds. As the large influx of population in the past three or four years has found ‘Washington unprepared to absorb it, 0 the university finds itself embar- rassed in providing sufficient buildings to accommodate its growing student body. The ever growing department of arts and sciences, after renting all available buildings in the vicinity of the university, finds it impossible to house comfortably the rapid increase in student enrollment and to gecure classroom for the extension of needed courses. ‘The university has kept constantly in mind the educational needs of the young people of Washington and of those young men and women that have come from every state in the Union. The larger and increasing student body tes- tifies to the satisfactory manner in which these needs are being met. It ever, adequately to provide for future development. The city of Washington has become a great educational center. . No other city of our country offers such splendid opportunities for research study and for general culture as the nation’s capital. Government laboratories, libraries and scientific bureaus provide unexcelled facilities and supplement and aid the work of our colleges and universities. This time-honored university is per- forming a very useful part in the city and the nation. Its 5,000 living grad- uates are serving their day and gen- eration in useful professional and civic activities in every state of the Union as well as in the District of Columbia. It has seen more than eight thou- sand men and women go from its halls in the course of its one hundred years. It is ready for the desired and nat- ural expansion in plant and teaching, which should come to it from fits alumni, from the public-spirited mem- bers of the community and from the friends of education everywhere. Reports that Russia would do with- out money still leave it doubtful whether Lenin has quit using it. 1922, One reason why the special session of the new Congress should be pro- tracted is that the more work done at that session the less will press for attention at the first regular session. The regular session should be as short as possible. Early May or June should mark the limit. Next year is campaign vear; and both parties will want to get into action betimes. The contest for control of the Sixty- eighth Congress will be a hummer. ‘The republicans will want control in the interest of the program they are now on the eve of inaugurating. The democrats will seek control for. the effect victory will have on the cam- palgn of 1924. THE that campaign to whichever party it goes. 1If it goes to the republican party it will be interpreted as an in- dorsement of that party's record up to date. If it goes to the democratic party it will be interpreted as the first sign of a swing-back from the overwhelming republican triumph of 1920. There is little likelihood that the re- publicans, even {if victorious next year, will have such a majority to show as they rolled up last year. That majority in part represented anti- ‘Wilsonism; and anti-Wilsonism can- not be the powerful factor next year that it was last. With the retire- ment of Mr. Wilson from office ecriti- cism of him, for a time at least, will ease up, and cease to be a republican asset. | The Undersecretary of State. The selection of Henry P. Fletcher as undersecretary of state in the Hard- ing administration, just announced, is an evidence of a dispostiion to or- ganize the foreign relations branch of the government on the basis of the widest experience and the highest efficiency. Mr. Fletcher has been In the diplomatic service for many years. | He was, indeed, until about a year ago | ambassador to Mexico. He will be a most helpful associate to Seeretary Hughes. His wide knowledge of for-| eign relations, his acquaintance with the diplomatic methods, his intimate contact with the actual workings of the foreign intercourse organization, will make him of invaluable assistance. | In respect to one particular branch of our relations, moreover, Mr. Fletcher is particularly well qualified. Mexico is certain to be a subject of | great interest and high importance | during the next few years, and there are few men in the United States so well informed on the subject, so fully | acquainted with the conditions south | of the Rio Grande as the man who has now been named in advance as under- secretary of state. This selection is an augury of a well conducted ‘‘foreign office.” i A Pennsylvania man left his large estate to his wife by a will expressed in three words, “All to Anna.” The wife shares the property with the| family, and litigation will not be called | on to determine whether this form of will means great saving or vast expenditure of time. l Vice presidential pay is not alto- gether to be rated by the actual amount of work performed. Mr. Marshall can assure his successor that gavel-wlelding is sometimes the most arduous-sort of occupation. 4 One of the worst things about that ground hog forecast is that “‘six weeks more of winter” leaves such a wide margin for a superlative instead of a | comparative degree. l Scientific predictions that subma- rines will be important in the control of the sea cannot fail to encounter skepticism among some recent Ger- man naval operators. # Congress frequently moves the pub- lic to admiration by the amount of business it can get through with dur- ing the closing days of a session. ! It is still hoped that mere snow- plows than automobiles ‘will not be necessary to provide for the official party on Inauguration day. f A government desiring loans on lib- eral terms should at least be explicit in defining the purposes to which the money is to be appiled. } Mr. Harding’s cabinet course has ten holes instead of the usual eighteen. He is probably content with the short- er range of the game. ) Editorial Digest The Navy Issue. While the Senate committee's re- port in favor of a “big Navy” has turned the thoughts of some of the editorial writers away from Imme- diate plans for disarmament, the ma- jority of newspapers seem to feel that there is more merit in support- ing the Borah plan for a “holiday” than accepting the logic of the com- mittee report. The New York World (democratic) maintains the attitude which it has consistently taken: “There is not & word of generous or enlightened im- pulse in the committee's report. It has seized upon the jargon of a Ger- man imperialism that has been blown into fragments and has endeavored to fashion that jargon into an Amer: ican policy. alles it has substituted America uber alles and presented this pinchbeck kaiserism as a definition of American doctrine at a time when the eco- nomic back of the world is breaking under the burden of needless mili- tary expenditure. Not only the affairs committee i New York Globe its “logic” as well. the Globe declares, or battleships more effective,” and they replied, “If airplanes are held Off by other airplanes the battleships will ‘be very effective” This “ex- pensive, provocative and unnecessary policy,” it concludes, ‘“could never get the sanction of a popular vote. A similar view is expressed by the Brooklyn Eagle (independent democrat), which remarks that “if economy is con- sidered” the logic of the Borah resolu- tion “is distinctly superior to the logic of the report.” Of all the proposals, the Borah plan “alone is practicable and sensible, Reno Gazette (republican) believe though its supporters have been tully divided” by “the naval clique, back- ed by interests that desire America_to be a’bullying. belligerent nation.” The Cleveland Plain Dealer (independent democrat) fecls that “there should be no question as to America’s readiness to agree to any reasonable terms looking to a naval holiday.” The New York Post (independent) considers the Senate committee's utter- ance a “jingo policy,” which “fortunate- 1" does “not represent the sentiment of the country” and the Philadelphia Record (independent democrat) calls it “a repudiation of the nation’s profession of a peaceful policy,” and scores the inconsistency of a Congress that would “avow militarism on the sea and re- duce our means of defense on land. With this sentiment the Petersburg (Va.) Index Appeal (independent) is in perfect accord. The best wav, In the opinion of the Chicago Tribune (independent republi- can) “to proceed in naval construction just_now, is to stop it,” and while the St. Louis Globe Democrat (republican, suggests that “it would probably be poor policy to suspend naval construction al- ready inaugurated,” it sees ‘no necessi- ty for starting new work until condi- tions,” under which future building is to conitnue, “are made clear.” The New York Times (independent democrat) says: “If the people do not protest against the general board policy of more, more and more construction and the tendency in Congress to neglect development of the new auxiliaries it will be idle to expect a movement to reduce armaments or have faith in the calling of a conference for that pur- pose.” However, there are those who find only praise for the policy enunciated by the Senate committee. “The com- mittee is right,” flatly announces the Spokane Spokesman Review (inde- pendent republican), quoting Admiral Sims to the effect that “you never can tell what will come out of Europe. No. body is taking his hand off his gu If this nation expects “to survive” we must pay the cost. Another Pacific coast paper, the Seattle Times (independent) comes out in strong support of the committee’'s “challenge to Congress,” which it con- siders a “sound, patriotic admonition,” which, it regrets “will fall upon deaf ears,” for “Congress learned little from the war with Germany.” Self- irit of the naval attacked by the (independent). but They were asked, Are airplanes protection, the Kansas City Journal (republican) urges, “is a national duty.” There is no doubt in the mind of the Boston Transcript (independent re- publican) that the senators have, in their report, established “the true American doctrine in sea power, uni- versal disarmament and the peace of the world,” conforming to the theories of both “Grover Cleveland and Theo- dore Roosevelt.” If we are to talk disarmament, “we are in a better position” to do if, the Birmingham Age-Herald (independent democratic) believes, “when our Navy is_equal to the navy of any other power,” and until “some concrete plan” is adopted it would be “folly” for the United States “to quit building battle- ships.” * The Family in Russia. Though Mr. Martens_has gone, his soviet bureau in New York continues to send out bolshevist propaganda. It has just issued a pamphlet on the “Marriage Laws of Soviet Russl The London conference is now en- gaged in the unusual task of carving up Turkey in a manner to give larger portions—to Turkey. l Judge Landis, reading the Congres- sional Record, now knows that the “‘stove league” season in base ball is often a very hot one. l Historic birthdays in February do much to permit the oratory to go on long after the presidential campaign is over.

Of course, there is nothing in the soviet government's insistence on a civil marriage ceremony that is different from what always has obtained here. Nor does the evil of the soviet mar- riage laws lie in the family regulations which they have adopted, which are common to other civilized states, but in the peculiar bolshevist principles ‘which, while they seemingly legally es- tablish the family under state protec- tion, actually undermine it by legaliz- ing all illicit relations, even those in- curred meretriciously by those other- wise “married” according to soviet laws. The actual laws as to marriage are bad enough when they are taken into account with the practices which so- viet opinion allows under them. For instance, certain of the primary mars riage laws read as follows: Actual descent shall be the basis of the family. No distinction shall be made between the relationship estal lished through marriage and that es- tablished by union outside of mar- riage, The right to establish the actual descent' of a child is reserved to the interested parties. including the And yet his words and deeds we view | mother, as the parents of a child were, Too often with neglect. ‘While we recite with honest glee The tales of days gone by, ‘We know he chopped a cherry tree And could not tell a le.
