GEORGE WASHINGTON
AND THE BONUS.
Senator Watson, of Georgia, has or-
atorical ability of an unusual order,
but no amount of it can relieve him of
the duty of sticking fairly closely to
the truth when he chooses to quote
what are ostensibly facts. And he
should exercise especial care to this
end and when he talks about George
in the grave, and according to an old
Pennsylvania German custom the peo-
ple stood around the open grave, wait-
ing for some one to say some good
thing about the deceased before filling
the grave. After a long wait, Gus-
tave Schulze said: “Well, I can say
joost one goot thing about Hans; he
wasn’t always as mean as he was
sometimes.”
Guilford Court House, N. C., battle-
ground, to which Gen. Nathaniel
Greene tied his
1781, has been placed in the American
Forestry Association’s hall of fame.
It is over 200 years old, has a spread
of more than 100 feet and is 21 feet
around at the base. This battle, in
which Cornwallis had three horses
shot from under him, preceded his re-
| treat into Virginia and his surrender

Money and Commodities
Money as the medium of exchange promotes the pro-
“
Washington, who, one inclines to be- $1.60 a_hundred on the
lieve, would not be altogether in sym-
pathy with many of the Senator’s
ideals.
Be that as it may, Senator Watson
was quoted as announcing recently
that Washington “accepted a bonus
after the Revolution and he went
through the war without a scratch.
Therefore, argues Watson, a soldier
who went through the world war
without a scratch may also accept a
bonus. There are many things that
might be said about such a method of
reasoning; but, disregarding them, it
is perhaps of interest to know cer-
tain facts about the bonus of the na-
tions first President. :
In his will General Washington re-
fers at some length to certain shares
of canal company stock which ‘had
been granted to him by the Legisla-
ture of Virginia as, to quote his own
words, “an evidence of its approba-
tion of the services 1 had rendered the
public during the Revolution.” This
stock he accepted under a certain con-
dition by which he avoided violating
what he describes as “g principle
which I had adopted, and had never
departed from—namely, not to receive
pecuniary compensation for any serv-
jees I could render my country in its
arduous struggle with Great Britain

creasing the wealth of the nation. Idle money is of no ben-
efit to its owner or to any one else.
