Probably no one has been go Blun dered as the father of his country. Whereas Lincoln's intensely human qualities have kept him alive in the hearts of men, Washing-ton has suf fered a sort of mumlflcatlon from the very adoration of his followers. His perfection in the minds of tils ad mirers has killed Interest eUewhere. This hus done a grave Injustice to a man to whom thin country owes a debt so great that It Is rarely realiz ed. Owen Wister Iiuh torn off the tra dltlons that have veiled the real Washington and has shown him to be a man with much of the same calibre that has made the hero of the "Vir ginian" so much admired. Wo learn to know that the first president was a man of high temper, or rough hu mor, great modesty and shyness, with a genuine love for all outdoors. We find in him none of that prlgglsh ness that has made his name an Im memorial joke when the subject of truth-telling Is mentioned. Nay, we even discover there was enough shrewdness in the man to fool the enemy' In as neat a manner as any general ever did. THE PENDLETON DRUG CO.
