Father of Country Still Influential Washington Jlemains High as National Example, Speaker Asserts George Washington's sincerity and seriousness ot mind, his con viction that "power was but a public trust to be soberly em ployed lifted- his careet to the high plane which madei him a national example nearly a cen tury and a halt after his earthly life, James Haxlett, state cor poration commissioner, told the chamber of commerce Monday luncheon audience . Hazlett devoted much f his address to the human qualities of the first president, which he holds belong as much to the county as do facts of his mili tary life and statesmanship. Haz lett credited Edward Everett Hale as the first writer to por tray truly the human side of Washington. Foresight, Stability Praised Washington was not a learned man, even according to the stan- d a r d s of his time, but his breadth of view and stability of judgement stand out more as the intrigues of his times are understood. His silence under great provocation was magnifi cent. While Washington's moral seriousness added confidence in the people, Washington never held that the voice of the people was the voice of God, though he believed in the ultimate soundness of popular government Hazlett said. Washington realiz ed the need of wise leadership, and that leadership he gave in supreme degree. The speaker referred to Wash ington's farewell message as em bodiment of the ideals in his own life to which he never ceased to devote himself. Senator Ronald Jones intro duced Hazlett as "the man who turned a state car back to the state because he didn't have anv use for it." Foreign Situation Credited With Reason for Jerky.
