of Ids successors III the office of Presi
dent he wns the greatest of Americans,'
mid his name shmihl lie held In ever-
luting reinemliraneo. Eulogies will be
pronounced upon him—Ills elm motor,
achievements, private virtues, mid public
services, by nil sort* of speakers and
newspaper* today, nod busineiw will lie
ill port suspended, so that Washington ’*
countrymen may contemplate the great
ness of tils genius and ,thc work of Id*
bands. This i« ns it should be. In many
cities iH'iiutifiil squares and pliiims uro
named in Ids honor. Military organisa
tions bear his fitulily iinlnc, ns, for in
stance, the old mill famous Washington
Light Infantry, of Charleston, H. (.1., mid
the Washington Artillery of New Or
leans. Ilia portrait hangs in the count'll
chaudH'ie of great cities, mid on every
occasion Ills virtues lire extolled and hi*
example commended to the I'liiulntioii of
Imth young mid old, Of course, he Intel
imperfections, but lie wus great and glo
rious in spile uf them. It is in the ns
l>et t of Ills common humanity that lie
will prove must interesting, und no doubt
lovers of truth will be interested to kmnv
tbat Washington wns "one of the hoys."
Upon tlie true Oeo. Washington some
very interesting sidelights have lieeii
thrown. Although he was the most dis
tinguished of American soldiers mid cit-
iicus, he wns generally in trouble about
his family. He had to pay off numerous
scores on account of the extravagance
of Ids spendthrift brothers, and not nl
wnys agreed with the eccentricities of Ills
mother. He was quite a dandy, with a
passion for lino clothes. He wns not an
educated mail, and the incorrectness of
Ids spelling was equaled only by the
wretchedness of his grammar. Ills pub
lic papers were written by Ills cabinet
advisers. He did not go to church regu
lariy, hit average attendance on services
being about fourteen times a year, He
wrote Ills- private letters on Sunday, mid
even prepured Ids invoices mi that day.
Nor did he limit himself to this, for lie
entertained company, closed land pur
chases. sab] wheat, and while n Virginia
planter went fox hunting on Sunday.
He said that John Itiimbdpli wiis the
"daimideal liar on the face of the
earth," mid ns he spoke brought his fist
down upon tiie table with ii violence
which made the wine glasses and brandy
deeanters start from their places.
Jle wns fond of handsome women, and
was quite a gallant. Ho wrote poetry
when he wns naming man, and was gen
orally "in love." Ho was preeminently
sociable in his disposition'and had a dis
tinct weakness for dancing. He was a
constant attendant at the regular danc
ing assemblies in New York and Phil
adelphia, and when at Mount Vernon
lie frequently went tou miles to Alexan
dria to attend dances. On one occasion,
when he was President, he danced with
Jbe wife of Gen. Greene upwards of
three hours without sitting down. On
another occasion he danced nil night.
At the "Farewell ball at Annapolis,"
when he resigned his command ns com-
minder-in-chief, he dnneed in every wet
so that all the ladies might have the
pleasure of dancing with him, or, ns it
has been handsomely expressed, "Get a
• touch of him." He still danced when
<M years of age. He ulwnys went to the
circus, delighted in nothing more than
horse-racing, played cards for money,
and harked bis judgment in tho cockpit.
His greatness was not due. however,
to his indiscretions, but to his character.
He was truthful, generous, high-minded,
nnd had no other ambition or aspiration
than the glory of hi* country. Hi* fault*
are noted todo.v, not to encourage the
cultivation of like faults in his smaller
countrymen, but to warn them against
imitating what is leasl commendable in
the life and conduct of the • • Father of
his country. ”
WHITE HOUSE OCCUPANTS
The following composite record
farts nbmit Presidents may be of inter-
, at, remark/II writer in the New r ork
Evening* Press:
Of the twenty-seven Presidents of Uie
United States fifteen were of English
ancestry, six of Scotch-Irish lineage,
three of Scotch, two of Dutrh nnd one
Welsh.
In their early lives fourteen were law
yers, live were teachers, three were pro
fessional soldiers. Fillmore mid John
son were tailors, Roosevelt was a public
official and Abraham Lincoln a farm
hand.
At the time of their elections ninny of
them had changed their vocations—at
that time nineteen were lawyers, three
statesmen, two soldiers, one n farmer,
one a planter, one a surveyor nnd four
were Presidents by succession.
That most of our President* spent
their childhood days on farms nnd plan
tations is proved by the faet that of
their fathers six were planters mid nine
were farmers. The othnr twelve fathers
were: Three clergymen, three morcbnnta,
two lawyers, one statesman, one iron
manufacturer, one sexton, one constable
and one tanner.
Harvard nnd William and Mnry rank
highest as uliun maters of Presidents,
with three each. Princeton graduated
two; West Point, Miami, Union, Wil
liams, Kenyon, Dickinson, Bowdoin,
Ilnmpton-Bidiiey! Yale anil the Univer
sity of North Carolina one each. Nine
of the Presidents wens not college grad
uates.
Seven Presidents-to-be first saw the
light of dny ill Virginia, six in Ohio,
twu in Massachusetts, three in North
Carolina, one each In. Vermont, New
Hampshire, Kentucky ami New Jersey.
Three Presidents were Imrn in New
York City.
When elected, however, five were legnl
residents of Virginia, five of Ohio, four
of New York, three of Tennessee, two of
MiiHHiieliiiM'tts and Indiana. Illinois,
Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New» Jersey
und New Hampshire each sent one Pres
ident to Washington.
Tho Republican party elected fourteen
of its candidates to the Presidential
chair, the Democrats eight, while the
Whigs elected three mill the Federal
party two. Ten of the Presidents served
more than four years. William Henry
Harrison'h service wns shortest, ns he
had been in office only one month nt
the time of his death. Only five Presi
dents have served two.full terms, four of
them being iiiuong tl(o first seven Pros'-

SPENDING TAX MONEY FOR TOO
MANY THINGS.
Oglethor|H' Echo.
When taxes are fairly nnd equitably
assessed and the proceeds therefrom ju
diciously and intelligently spent for the
public's benefit they are by no means
burdensome.
In no other way can a citizen get more
Tor his dollar than from taxes so laid
and expended. Nor will any citizen
worthy to be called such raise the least
complaint nt having to pay such taxes.
He realizes that funds must lx* raise.I
to provide conveniences nnd protection
for the public nt large, nnd that these
conveniences nnd protection nrd worth
far more to every citizen than ho is
assessed to pay for them—when the as
sessments nre fair and the expenditures
only for necessary conveniences and pro
tection.
But many taxpayers arc complaining
these days nt burdens of taxation. They
deem it a burden because they realize
that tax levies are not fairly nnd equita
bly Inbl and that our governments, na
tional, State and municipal, arc spend
ing fmills raised by taxation for too
many things that are not worth the cost
to the public, nnd thnl are not of general
public benefit. In thnt case 'taxes be
come a burden, and a quite irksome one
at thnt.
Thu trend of government to paternal
ism Is wiiat is bringing this burden upon
the' people. And the people, through
petty politicians and office-seekers, are
forcing our Government to this pater
nalism. We have become too much prone
to look to the Government to do for us
whnt we ought to do for ourselves indi
vidually, and politicians have played on
this sentiment thnt they might obtain
or hold office. Hence our Government
is trying to do many things thnt are a
heavy drain on the funds raised by tax
ation, but from which the general public
gets very little benefit. The money is
spent, where it does not yield adequate
returns for thq expenditure.
When thnt is the ease taxation lie-
oitics a burden.
This burd/n is being recognized by all
classes of our people, anil they nre be
ginning to get restive. Ho much so tlin’t
it. would seem that the powers thnt be
in our governmental affairs would take
notice of it and lie gin to retrench. But
there is no evidence of that being done.
In all brunches of our Government, from
iiiitiomil down to thnt of the smallest
uiuiilripnlities, there is an apparent craze
for laying taxes. This craze has gone
beyond- nil reason. Tnx-imyers realize
thnt they lire overly nAscssed to raise
funds tlmt lire devoted (o objects from
which they do not get profitable returns.
Thnt is bringing on unii'ersal complaint,
of the burden of taxation. That com
plaint will eventually grow into revolt.
When thnt conies it will he omnious times
for our governments.
Let iih repeat, thnt n fair mid just
tax levy to raise funds to be judiciously
applied for the welfare of the public nt
large is not burdensome to anybody,
Hut taxation that is Jiurdensome with-
out any compensating benefit is danger
ous to any government
A very pleasing suggestion to news
paper publishers who are paying a 400
isw cent, advance in the price of news
print is that the Republicans propose a
tariff on print paper in order to protect
American infant industry. It looks
to us like that infant is pretty well
grown, and able to take care of himself.
