^ >? MISQUOTING GEORGE WASHINGTON
Ui'Xerhapq the greatest instance on record of a pre-
tended quotation being used as political propaganda
hi Washington’s alleged warning against entangling
Ail^nces. Yet it has been so harped upon and re-
iteratcd that half the people believe it and the
other half suspect that there must be some ground
fdr^the assertion. Washington never said it. In
Yhecurrent issue of Collier's Weekly there is the
{ftttmgest editorial pronouncement against this fla
grant misquotation by the politicians that has yet
come under our observation:
r. n “Washington’s Birthday, in this troubled 1923, is
■ a good time to get rid, once and for all, of the no
tion that the Father.of his county warned it against
‘entangling alliances.’
Washington never said it. Thomas Jefferson said
it in 1801. If he meant strict isolation, he changed
hismind when Napoleon sent an expedition against
SaAto Domingo, for he spoke forcibly of the need
to -marry ourselves to the British fleet and nation.’
‘^The whole course of the American Revolution was
marked by eager willingness to twine ‘entangling al
liances’ of any and every kind as long as they of
fered any hope of help for the embattled colonists.
Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and John Adams
were sent to Europe as official entanglers, and the
treaty made with France in 1778, and that with Hol
land in 1782, were entanglng alliances that played a
large part in American victory. Our connection
with Europe was far closer then than at any time
during the next century.
' “Washington the President was not interested in
the'past glories of our revolution nor in flights of
J political theory. Our task as he saw it was to build
TBW;and order, settle the West, ‘establish a national
character of our own.’ The peril was that we might
be drawn by past alliances and present fanaticism
■ into the vortexof war and change that swirled about
. reviluntipnary' France. To engulf ourselves in
.. European struggles would prove us false to ‘that high
.. expectation which was entertained of us by the w.onv
dering world.’
ito keep us true to ourselves, he wrote the fa-
Is Farewell Address. -We must, he urged, ‘give to
d the magnanimous and too rare example of
iple always guided by an exalted justice and
olence.’
i^The peace Washington desired was the peace of
thcw'orld. Almost the last letter he wrote, to Wi>-
. Ham Vans Murray of Maryland on October 26, 179f,
stated: ‘My own wish is to see everything settled
Upon the best and surest foundation for the peace
distant situation” ver having been more than a
—!fhat or thp other nation.’ ”
. .CjOlliers’ enumerates eight particulars in which
J’i.’thej United States are entangled in international acti-
and it flouts the idea of America’s “detached
distant situation” Ver having been more than a
It continues:
e have been dragged by the hair of our heads
every world war in the past. We will be drawn
every world war of the future. Our only hope
jied in some form of international concert—never
mind the name—for the prevention of war.”
a 3t is the grossest absurdity imaginable to suppose
amosition of isolation and aloofness; all the nations
w the earth are interdependent on each other
inortb more so than America.

Try This! A Gleamy Mass
of Soft, Luxuriant Hair
Th* announcement of the
converaion of Fred Stone,
the well-known comedian,
should not excite undue In
terest among the people. There
is some color to the conversion
of stage people, prize fighters,
circus performers, baseball play
ers. murderers and criminals who
have served terms in prisons, but
they should not be held up before
the public gaze as examples and
their change of mind from worldly
to that of heavenly things any
more than the conversion of the
citizen in ordinary life. These
people are human jflat as the pro
fessional or commercial man or
woman and It should not require
any more strength of character
for one of these people to turn
from a life of sin than It should
for anyone else. Outside of tho
criminal class mentioned, the oth
er classes of cltlcens have a large
percentage of their professions
who are religious and the fact that
they earn their living with their
talents whether on the stage, prize
rings, baseball diamond or In the
circus rlug does not necessarily
stamp them as sinners and too
far In the depths of worldly sins
to ever tome brek and declare
themselves' for C-irlst and devote
! their lives* to tbe service of the
Master. Stage people es a whole
c.ro a grrat deal better class of
people than Is usually credited by
the general public. They live
hard life and meet with many un
pleasantnesses. but after all the
average sums up pretty well with
other people engaged In other
occupations. Conversions of such
people should not be capitalised
by churches or any other religious
organizations. Mr. Stone, the re
cently converted actor, said: *‘I
am. not looking for publicity. It
14 a simple and natural thing, much
too ( sacred to he used as copy."
