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. and 3* «is Tthe banner-heralb— ; judge no man.—John 1:1*.

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."
