1732 WASHINGTON 1799
Where may the wearied eye repose
When gazing on the Great;
Where neither guilty Glory glows.
Nor despicable state?
Yes one the hist the last the best
The Cincinnatus of the West,
Whom envy dnrcd not hate,
Bequeath the name of Washington,
To make men blush there was but onel
Lot d Byron.
HAS SUFFERED
FROM TRADITION
Modern Writer Gives Us New Ver
sion of the Character of
Washington.
Great Soldier as He Is Universally
Acknowledged, He Waa Also a
Seer Deathlesa Champion
of the Rights of Humanity.
1W
ORE than nny other American
statesman, more than any
other American, WashlnRton
has suffered from tradition,
writes John D. Barry in tho Washing
ton Times.
In fact, I can't think of any other
great man in tho history of tho world
who has been damaged in Just tho
same way, through bolng made to ap
pear so good.
Tho reason Is that he has been pre
eminently tho children's hero.
Ho Is a distinguished victim of tho
deceit wo practice on children In tho
nnmo of education.
Only tbo very good boys and girls
enro for tho story of Washington and
tho cherry tree.
Tho others, tho majority, aro bored,
or amused, or puzzled.
And then there is tho saying, dinned
Into the cars of American childhood,
"Washington never told a llo."
It alone alienates vast numbers of
children from Washington. In their
little hearts it finds no answering
echo, no enthusiastic dcslro for emula
tion. For truth telling, much ns wo love
It In children, and much ns wo lnbor
to grnft It on those highly imnglnatlvo
minds, Is often a virtue that develops
only with years, relntod to intelli
gence and to mature character.
It dorlvcs Its bqauty largoly from
association with other qualities moro
sympathetic.
Do Real Damage to Truth.
Self-nsscrtlvo truth-tellers often
seem rigid in character. Thoy do
great damage to truth by making It
seem, not ncautlful, as It should bo,
but hideous.
Even In minds of maturity, to tho
reputation of Washington there still
clings a suggestion of tho comic.
Thackeray did not holp tho situation
when he introduced tho youthful
Washington Into "Tho Virginians" as
a highly self-conscious and priggish
colonial.
There Is a fine chanco for a new
historian of Washington, ono who will
bring out the real man.
Owen WIster mndo a start some
years ago, when ho published d llttlo
book, omphnslzlng Washington's moro
human qualities. But the book was
too slight to bo comprehensive. Mr.
WlBtor may yet wrlto the complete
history needed by the world of today.
For today, of all times, the world
ought to reflect on tho servlco of
Washington in tho making of this na
tion and on tho attltudo of Washing
ton toward tho future of this nation.
Washington a Seer.
Since tho Spanish war tho Farewell
Address, onco n classic and apparent
ly Just about as much alive as most
classics, has fallen Into disfavor. Wo
don't hear of Us being "pointed to
with pride" as often as wo did.
Perhaps if wo do go back to It wo
shall And that Washington, besides
being a soldier and a statesman, was
a Beer.
And a seer Is much moro Interesting
than a llttlo boy that chops down a
cherry trco or a man that has never
told a He.
A seer has a way of projecting him
self into tho futuro and finding a now
llfo there.
As a prophet Washington Is n vital
force today. Hut ho Is a force thut
has been consciously and deliberately
disregarded.
Washington, tho hero of Valley
Forge, was essentially a man of pence.
Ho Baw that tho happiness and secu
rity of this country lay, Just a3 tho
happiness of an Individual did, In u
policy of noninterference
And ns soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore
saw complications.
On tho surfneo it scorns strango that
a man whoso inheritance and ways of
REFLECTION OF MONUMENT
For a certain period of the day, when
the tun la shining, the reflection of
the Washington memorial In the
waters of the Potomao Is plainly
visible. Ths picture shows the effect
llfo wcro nristocratlc should bo ro
gnrded as tho father of American do
mocracy.
And to tho present-day point of view
It Is all tho moro strango when wo re
call tho reproach made against Wash
ington that "tho great Virginian bold
slaves."
Hut Washington, to bo Judged fair
ly, like overyono else, must bo consid
ered with reference to his tlmo and
surrounding conditions.
Washington deserves llttlo credit for
not yielding to tho temptations to as
sort his nristocratlc llneago by becom
ing n tory. Ho was directly affected
by tho unfair attitude of tho mother
country In imposing tnxatlon without
representation. What ho did was a
natural outcomo of what bo was.
Whero ho did merit tho highest honor
wus in his rising so magnificently to
bis responsibilities nnd opportunities.
A mnn selflBh nnd arrogant might havo
exacted moro for himself, might havo
striven to establish himself n3 a per
manent power over tho nation ho had
helped to create. But thoro Is no evi
dence that Washington over folt such
n temptation. Aristocrat as ho was
and slaveholder, ho was nil tho moro
extraordinary In being nblo to turn
from tho prejudices of hlB training to
a realization of tho democratic Ideal.
Perhaps wo can reach a llttlo clear
er understanding of what Washington
was and of what ho did by placing
him In our own time. It was as If, at
tho present tlmo, a man of distin
guished position and of wealth, wore
to becomo a leador In tho labor move
ment. For, from tho point of view of
England, tho colonials wero humble
folk, mainly tillers of the field, work
ers In small enterprises. To their
cause Washington gavo dignity, as
well as marvelous personal courage.
With his tattered, half-fed, poorly
trained troops ho defeated tho pro
fessional soldiers of England and the
Hessian mercenaries. Ho bad, of
course, tho Btiporlatlvo advantage of
being sustained by tho powor of a sub
lime moral Idea, all tho moro offoctlvo
becaiiEo it was opposed by tho weak
ness that goes with self-conscious and
contemptuous superiority.
Really Deserves More Credit.
Washington has not been accorded
by tho world the credit ho deserves:
for his sliaro In establishing democ
racy as a worftlng force In a nation.
Wo aro llkoly to forgot that democ
racy, while ho fought for It, was nol
accopton by tho world as practicable
To a fow It was a beautiful theory, at
Ideal. To tho many It was lmpractl
cable, a denial of what thoy rcgardec
as tho natural unfitness of human bo
Ings In largo maBseBto govern them
selves. From Franco, mainly through
Uousseati, had como tho great demo
emtio theory. But Franco hnd yet U
soek Us establishment In tho blood ol
the French revolution.
Our next Washington Is not llkoly
to be ft soldier-statesman. Ho will not
load In a war botween nations or bo
tween foes identified with any geo
graphical limits. He will glvo dignity
and coherence and organization to a
cause now In need of a powerful chain
plon. Ho will strive, not against taxa
tlon without representation, but
against production without fair com
pensatlon.
