that he and the officers were attempting to found an
aristocracy, that they were looking toward a monarchy.
This in spite of the fact that Washington hfcid been tend
ered the crown and like Caesar had thrice spurned it.
In Washington's administration as president, he was
bitterly assailed by the faction that favored the United
States engaging in war on the sMe of France against Great
Britain. Washington foresaw that the true policy for the
United States to pursue and the same holds good today
was to hold aloof from entangling foreign alliances," to
provide a haven of liberty on this continent that would be
open to all the citizens ot the world. For this Washing
ton was denounced as a traitor.
A public servant, a public man of any kind, must do
h'.s duty serenely without hope of praise' or reward. As
to the present legislature, we imagine it was no better or
no worse than many others, probably better. We doubt
whether there was gratt in this legislature.
Vve believe that Speaker Stanfield and President
Moser made good records. We believe that the average
legislator was conscientious. If, ass is reported, the legis
lature has kept within the six per cent limitation and
provided, enough funds to carry on our varied form of
state government with all its commissions, inspectors, and
horde of state officials we believe it is entitled to credit
and praise.

THE LEGISLATURE.
The legislature has adjourned, and it is too early to
pass judgment on its work. There will be those who will
condemn everything that the legislature lias done. There
will Ite hasty critics who for purposes of demagogucrv will
discover "daylight" resolutions as well as "midnight" res
olutions. Such natures love to villify and condemn. Every
body to them is just a little hit iieer. Sik-Ii natures are
warped. They see no good in anything, no sermons in
stones or songs in the numing brooks. The legislators
3'. ay expect abuse and villificatioii from such. Men in
public, may expect that.
One has only to read the life of George Washington
to learn what even siuh a great patriot suffered from the
abuse of newspapers and the public. When Washington
was taking a fond and affectionate farewell from the of
ficers of his army, there was organized for the purpose of
commemorating the great deeds of the soldiers of the
revolution the society of Oincinnatus. to whi-h officers
and their descendants were elibigle. Washington
was elected president. liven though Washington had just
triumphantly finished the revolution, a great howl rose up
