Cleveland Says Nation Needs| Washington’s Teachings Americans Are Too Prone to Forget CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—Ex-President Grover Cleveland was the orator of the at the eelebration of the anniver- of the birth of George Washing- ton, annually held under the auspices the Union League Club of this city. Cleveland addressed an _ audience | which filled the great Auditorium, and | oration was greeted with every| nifestation of approval. He dwelt| less upon the histo and achievements of Washington than upon the soundn of his political faith and the accurac of his economic wisdom. The pros- perity and glory of the country will be, according to the speaker, unbounded | and imperishable if the precepts of Washington are actlvely recalled and in general closely followed. Americans were, as a rule, Cleveland declared, too prone to lose sight of the significance of ‘the proper observance of public holidays. usually, he said, had a revel of senseless noise and danger- ous explosions, which bears in its train far more of mishaps and accidents than lessons of good citizenship or pride of country.” The republic still had, he sald, im-| perative need of Washington, and his example and teachings were as im- portant to the present generation as| his labors and guldance were own time. Cleveland was the guest of honor to- night at a banquet at the Union League | Club, sharing the post-prandial honors with Richard Watson Gilder of New York and Howard L.

Higgins addressed a joint session of the Legislature today on “Washington and His Times” and was severely criticised by Roswell B. Burchard, Speaker of the House. Governor Higgins referred to Wash, | ington's great abilities as a leader, and said that he was born at an opportune time and that he seized opportunities at the right moment. Continuing he said: It has been potnted out that in no walks of life did he ever rise to the immense propor- tions of a genius. It would be unfair to com- pere bim s o statesman with Benten, Clay or umner. As & soldier he was surpassed by Na- poleon, Caesar and Alexander. Even ‘in our country his ability on the field of battle, per- haps, did not approach the masterly strategic | powers of Robert E. Lee or Phil Sheridan or U. S. Grant. Speaker Burchard in reply said: Even in his excellent address the Governor could not refrain from picking motes out of the sunbeam of George Washington’s memory. must respectfully say to bis Excellency that on the trifing points which he has seen fit to produce 1 must differ.

He sai | “We have too many laws; our legls- | latures are too anxious to increase the bulk of the statute book. As things | are tending we shall soon have so| many laws that, wrapped around, as it were, by serried mail, we shall become | prisoners, forbidden to stir or to walk. | It certainly would be so if the bills coming year by year before the ses- sions of Congress or the varied legis- | latures were to be turned into binding enactments.” the United the genuine made. ine £/ Toro MADE ENTIRELY OF PORTO RICAN TOBACCO That's more than can be truthfully said about many cigars sold you as Porto Rican.
