Washington had faith in men. He 1 1
lieved them capable of governing tluui
selves under benign laws.
Wiicn he presided over the coiti:u:iona!
fonvention of 1787 no country of i irth en
joyed a popular form of government with
the exreption of the little republic of Switz
erland, whose influence did not reach be
yond ibe ive-capped mrtintaiiis which were
the walls of her tecii i:y.
tually lice, had a 1..: A
divine right to do as lie plcnci and whone ,
chief pleasure was to )iuu.i writers and 1
aricakem for honest ei)i'c!ion of otiinions. '
It wm not until 33 years after this consti
tati'Jiial convention that Great Uritain re
pealed her oppressive laws against the free
dom of the press.
-All of f-'uuth America, nnd very much of
XuU i .Viii'i-ici, were under the dominion
of detune Spain, whose edicts were writ
ten in blood and whoe greatest kindliest
was death by the sword, l'rance wasgioan
'nip tinier the burden of a hideous oppres
sion of aristocracy, German nnd tScan
Uuavi.iti peasants were but little removed
from shivery, niul the KiiMian bear fat
tened upon the labor of its wronged sub
ject h.
Tl.e thrall of England's oppression had
been great and the fathers were resolved
to (ret as far away as possible from any
tfnilin? of the human person or human
will. They made careful study of condi
tions among other nations and resolved to
avoid these.
fn all of these high purposes Washing
ton was foremost, lending his acute intelli
gence, mipnilicent personality and all the
influence of his glorious record in the seven
jeais' war for liberty, to the work of build
ing a government upon the broadest
grounds possible of freedom of action, cf
thought and of speech.
Every nation of earth had an established
teligioii; this nation eschewed the subject,
leaving to caci) man the divine right to
worship (iod according to the dictates of
Vis own conscience.
Freedom of the press was denied in all
ether countries; this people guaranteed
there should be no abridgment of this right.
Other countries saw honor, distinction,
fame and glory only in the accident of birth,
which alone could give a king or open way
tor honorable distinction.
Washington contended for universal suf
frage, against class legislation and for a
government of and by as well as for the
people.
The nation thus was born, and as it grew
the healthful influences of its life began
to spread. Where it has not revolution
ised, as in France, it has tempered and re
fined the administration of justice, until
to-day 'Russia is the only nation of Europe
whose rule is absolute. Some form of con
stitutional government prevails in every
land. Japan, unknown to the world 100
jes-s ago, freely acknowledges ita weighty
Ideations to this nation, and, in the light
f recent events, one. would not be over
Isold in declaring that in the present cen
. tr China will sit at the feet of the United
States to learn of it.
Washington not inaptly is styled the
father of his country. Not only did he take
kading part in the forming of a constitu
tion for the bringing of the states together
s a single nation, but also through the
gsauua of his patience and courage in the
ycsjra between Bunker Iltll and Yorktown
fca- wreoted the states from the oppression
4t Creat Britain.
Vtitan and apeakers of all countries have
ynaMgyrized Washington aa ruler, aa law
avvtr and as soldier, in all of which he ap
vad aj star f first Jfnitude in the
galaxy of human greatness. Yet it waa as
soldier thai his great qualities show most
resplendent, since it was here that he was
most sorely tried and had most obstacles to
overcome.
Against him were opposed soldiers and
generals who had covered themselves with
honors in battles with picked armies of the
continent of Europe. Then as now the fore
most nation of Europe, Great Jiri'.aiu, had
unlimited money and men at her command.
To meet these Washington bad undisci
plined farmers, who were ill-fed, ill-paid
and whocc families sorely needed them at
home.
Besides there were cabals formed by rival
commanders who sought his place, the in
action and but too frequently the incom
petence of co.ijjress, the treason of Arnold,
the i j-; ; Ition of lories, and a general dis
contem. i .e result of a long war.
In t' c midst of the, trials Washingtcn
moved with serene front. In that dread
winter Valley Forge, when nearly one
(rWl . -'. ' I preserr. -- 0
Age. iso general uo has liv'ev uvercanie
to mn: y obstacles as Washington.
Count D'Estang said there was not an
other man in the world who could have held
together that army at Valley Forge, ragged,
as it was, and hungry and houseless and
unpaid.
At no time in the seven years did Wash
ington doubt of final victory. With sublime
faith in the justice of the cause, he waited
nd trusted and planned. lie would ac
cept no defeat. Compelled again and oeain
England, nom- ! tc d,'eline ,,Ilttle because of the paucity of
believed in a
ns Niiijiiicrs ana me limited sunn v ot aim
munition, he persisted in his purpose until
he wore out the enemy. More than once, by
the sheer force of his genius, he snatched
victory from defeat.
UST new, when the birthday of the
illustrious Washington is about to
be celebrated everywhere, the fol
lowing words irora his ureweu a duress,
made public over a century ago, will be ap
propriate: . (
"Be united. Be Americans. The name
which belongs to ypu, in your national ca
pacity, must exalt the just pride of patri
jtism more than any appellation derived
Irom local discriminations. Let there be
ao sectionalism, no north, south, east or
west; you are all dependent one on another,
ind ahould be one in union. Beware of at
tacks, open or covert, on the constitution.
Beware of the baneful effects of party srpirit
tnd of the ruin to which its extremes must
lead. Do not encourage party spirit, but
jse every effort to mitigate and assuage it.
Keep the departments of government sep
irate, promote education, cherish the pub
ic credit, avoid debt. Observe justice and
rood faith toward all nations; have neither
passionate hatreds nor passionate attacn
ments to anv: and be independent political
ly of all. In one word, be a nation, be
Americans, and be true to yourselves.
