Smith, “prominent Republican leader.” of Meriden, on George Washington— given in this city—needs a little at- tention, it perchance we can hold ourselves down well enough to handle the subject without unduc irascibility. Washington told lies and was not u great general, said the attorney; his wife was illiterate, a pipe smoker, ind accused him of non-support— iso according to the attorney. It is important when such charges are made that they be but- tressed by reliable references. In- stead we find that “prevailing gos- sip" termed Martha Washington a | pipe smoker. That Washington was not a great army leader seems to depend upon the mere statement of the allegation: which can be some- what dissipated by referring to what Frederick the Great said at the time | about Washington's field tactics, But then, perhaps Mr. Smith will re- tort that Frederick himself was not much of a general. Obviously the statement that Con- gress was jealous of his power de- serves a laugh. They thought so well | of him at the beginning that no one suggested anyone else for the presi- dency; then when he had one term he got another; and then he could have had a third. so little was he thought of. But Washington prefer- red to set the precedent that two terms was enough for a President. Washington had enemies, we dis- cover. Suppose he did, but who were they? Who remembers their names? How important were they? How many did he have, for instance, com- pared with those possessed by other Presidents since Washington's time? A man without prima facie a nonentity. He told lies, did he? Strange in- deed that he was so universally trusted. The nation must have been | at a very low ebb when it started un- der the Conastitution if nobody but a liar could have been thought of as the first President. 1f Washington told lies “without the slightest com- punction” his colleagues must have known ahout it; the people must have known. To our knowled, in habitual llar to an honest man to be at its to Mr. must 2 no nation history has yet preferred head. According Smith's contention we have been exceptionally distinciive the very Btart. Or ie it posz<ible that h the dirt-clingers fhemselve the truth a bit? stre | personal some enemies is | Being at the head of the army Washington's generals “on very rare occasions reported their engage- ments to him,” it is stated. Which proves nothing at all. In Washing- ton's time there were no telephones and no lélegrnph: also no radio com- munication. The battle fronts were widely dispersed. Washington at no time knew what was going on in some parts of the country where he didn't happen to be. He was not in a class by himself in tha respect. Communication all over the world was via the man on horseback: sometimes afoot. When Andy Jack- son, it will be remembered. fought and won the Battle of New Orleans the War of 1912 was all over. Jack- | son was amazed when he heard about the war's ending later. During the Revolutionary War| there was contention, of course. Some got tired of it earlier than others; suffering was Intense and the future looked dark. There were desertions, and there were grumblings at not only Washington, but against others of the leaders. A multitude of Tories who refused to side with the colonistp were exported to Canada, and were harshly treat- ed. These were the sore spots of the Revolution. But after independence had been won the states worried along with far greater evils than the fancied personal improprieties of ‘Washington. Fiscal contention and exalted state rights doctrines brought on the difficulties that resulted in the calling of the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia. If Washington had been so bad a man as the dirt-slingers picture it is doubtful whether he would have been considered as a fit delegate. But somehow the founding fathers didn’t put much stock in such stuff. They were far too wise, it seems. It takes the perspective of more than a century to know more in theory than the gentlemen of the conven- tion or the citizenry of the early vears of the nation. We do not claim that Washington was an angel, nor that Hamilton, | Jefterson or Ben. Franklin were a specics of animate gods. But we will continue to regard them as wise, honest and sincere nation buiiders. Back in Meriden, Smith claims he was “misquoted.” Officers of the Exchange club say he was not mis- | quoted. We have confidence in the | word of Exchange club officials. This Smith tirade reads somewhat | like those which have found print in | Great Britain occasionally, printed on this side. To undermine our faith in Washington, it scems to us, would be first rate Dritish propa- ganda. The Living Age some months ago reprinted an sh magazine in and re- icle from a Brit- which the alleged characteristics of all the founding fathers were somewhat similarly attacked. Before American we listen to or read any more such attacks upon great Americans we would like to know the source of the information. “OR THE SAKE OF COMPETITION” The railroad consolidation plans which have been thrust before the Interstate Commerce Commission by the Baltimore & Ohio and the Van Sweringen interests are hutlressed} with the information that if the railroad regulatory body grants them it will result in more competition be- tween the major eastern lines and thus react in the interest of the public. But just what kind of competition is possible under a national regula- tion act? The rates are regulated to just as much to two cities—where a nicety; it costs travel between there are competing lines—on one railroad as on the other. The time | taken by trains of the same class is | agreed upon by the railroads them- Extra fares on the de luxe same; the Pullman selves. trains are the rates are the same. The only compe- tition we know of is service; some roads claim finer interior finishes to { the cars than others; some claim to | serve better steaks in the dining cars; some have roller bearings; some have mountain scenery; others have river scenery and fewer grades. 1f the B. & O. got control and part control of the 15 lines mentioned in its petition, and the Van Sweringens got control of all the lines they de- sire, there no doubt would be a bet- ter outlook for competition on even | terms than now exists. This kind of competition—the choice of three of and Chicago instead of two main roads as at present—would be in the interest of the public public. But the best Kind of competition would be one of price. There was a time in the history of American railroads when the line which travel- ed farthest between {and took than the the two citics longer rival public differential P gave bene- fit lis to say, it rate—that It would be type of | been climinated today. a good idea to revive this competition The Baitimore something of a & Ohio makes |of the short lines the 1 desig- nates if granted the larger lines ask- four direct lines between New York | offered a lower rate | | than the more direct line.

If the B. & O. and the Van Bweringen - terests stick by their plan to accept the losing short lines as well as the rather large main !ines sought it will er. Heretofore what to do with the short lines nobody wanted has been the main difficulty lying in the way of consolidations as outlined by the L C. C. since the days when it em- ployed Professor Ripley of Harvard to make the first consolidation sur- vey. WLELCOME TO COOLIDGE AS A WRITER When President Coolidge steps from the exalted position he now occupies he will be forced to make a livellnood at something less breath-taking. It seema astonishing that in this great republic a man who has had eight years of experience at the helm of the greatest business on earth is denied the privilege of sistance to the government later ex- cept in a private capacity. He might become a U, 8. Senator, but must take the chance of election or de- feat and that is not attractive. ‘There should be some way to use the ability of an ex-president in connection with the government; and it should be especially easy to do this when the same political party continues in power. But nay. Our Presidents, once they are out of the White House, must return to the hard lines of carning a living as best they can. Thus Mr. Coolidge is look- ing around for openings. Perhaps he will become a writer. An ex-President as a writer upon national and international affairs will possess considerable influence. Presidents do most of their writing when they transmit messages to Congress, or when they are induced to make speeches elsewhere. Once out of the Big Chair the radius of activity is not circumscribed by dig- nity or precedent. Having been an occupant in the White House gives a man weight and | reputation posscssed by no other lay Journalist or writer. An ex-President, writing at a high rate per word, naturally finds him- self in a position to say considerably more than the President, who gets no high figure per word. An ex-Presi- dent, moreover, doesn’'t need a spokesman; he may not even neced a press-afent. Everything he says will not only find print readily, but he will be assured of a wide audi- ence, which may or may not agree Wwith him in all things but at least will be an audience that rcads the pronouncements with vastly more in- terest than it gives to the fulmina- tions of the average scnator speaking to get his stuff on the front page of | the newspapers. One thing Mr. Coolidge must be able to overcome, and that is his aversion to writing at regular inter- vals. If he goes into the writing busi- ness he will find that things are run on a more or less regular schedule, | and his convenience will not be the first consideration. Mr. Coolidge is quoted as saying he prefers to write only when the spirit moves him. Our advice, if it {s of any value in the premises, is for him to cultivate a spirit for the game that will induce him to write morning, noon and night, including week-ends and Sun- days. In that respect he would be- come a regular editorial writer. In the long run that is what he is head- ing to become, as it is inconceivable to expect a gentleman of his parts to avoid presenting his opinions. He will be welcome to the guild, ' THE LIBRARY TRIUMPHS The smoke of battle having died down, one comes to the conclusion that the New Britain Institute has won a victory without a fight. The trustees, confident from the first that the charge about improper books upon the shelves was fll- founded, took refuge in quietly ignoring the claim. Less inclined to- ward avoiding dissension, we spoke out in meeting and naturally feel satisfied at the result. A library without a libcral policy is only half a library. The Institute remains a complete institution. It is one of the best for its size in New England. Citizens are justified in taking pride in it, not the kind of pride that merely relates to the ap- | pearance of the building but a pride hat includes the books upon the helves.

J The trouble seems to be that even the curious-minded dislike to be seen possessing such disgustng publica- tions. Instead of advertising the magazines the agitation scared away even the regular customersa. No one with sense wishes to own anything that stamps him as the kind of moron painted by the critica as fair game for the slickers who crave their money in return for the doubtful pleasure of looking at drawings that get a hearty ha-ha rather than a virgin blush. The drawings are all alike and really do not compare in artistic portrayal with some of the pictures that go with the ads one notes on every hand. To clean up dirt it s only neces- sary to call it by its right name, when hardly anyone will care to soll their fingers with it.

An act of congress of March 4, 1909 provides for the imposition of fine or imprisonment or both, for the offense of issuing notes in de- nominations of less than one dollar. But according to a memorandum of the U. 8. department of justice, the law does not, and never did apply to ordinary bank checks. In the de- partment memorandum the point is emphasized that a bank check is not intended to circulate as money, or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money, but is merely an order for the payment of money. Q. Is the expression “Spare the rod and spoil the child” in the Bible? A, It is not found in the Bible in exactly that wording. Proverbs 13:24 reads: “He that spareth his rod Mateth his son; but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.” There are two refercnces in litera- ture containing the statement “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” Samucl Butler in “Hudibras” says “Love is a boy by poets styl'd, then spare the rod and spoil the child.” Ralph Vcl‘ln‘ in “Mysteries and Revelations” says “They spare the rod and spoil the child.” Q.
