7 U» n -.T ASH LA ND D A IL Y T ID IN G S jO U T iH le e m d By W illiams OUR WAY / Very Welcome We fear we are going to become real fond of Queen Marie before she gets through with this American visit. We can feel ourselves slipping right now. The queen, yon see, is a wheedler, • and we never could hold out against wheedlers. “ I lovp /America,” said Marie before she had* even been introduced to the Goddess of Liberty, “ and I want you all to love me and take me to your heart.” .’ How are you going to resist an appeal like thatf It can’t be done. Ordinarily we don’t care much for queens except when they come in sets of three. In such cases they demand a certain amount of re­ spect. And if they happen to be reinforced by a good, solid pair you feet inclined to back them right up to the limit of your immediately available re­ sources. But single queens who. sit on thrones and wear crown jewels and really believe that heaven has endowed them with a superior quality of blood ordinarily leave us a little cold. Queen Marie, however, brings such » pleas­ ant smile, such a gift of blarney and such an engag­ ing personality ’ that one is inclined to forget the queen and think of the charming and clever woman Who refuses to be hidden behind the title. It is evident from the reasons she assigns for her Ameri- can visit that Marie has been at considerable pains to learn something of America, which is more than can be said of a good many Europeans coming to pay ua a visit. She doesn’t know America, but she evidently knows a lqt about i t - Before she leaves we trust America will have reciprocated by learning something more about Roumania which to most of us' represents chiefly one of the more difficult lessons in geography. .1 • I I • • I I • ■ 1 *• I .

Mr. Washington Jived dpryi^ the latter half of the eighteenth century, coming Into some promi­ nence between 1776 a n d *1883. It was like this: The thirteen original colonies had decided to out loose from the mother country, Great Britain, and to paddle for a while their own cancfe. In order to do- this a war was necessary. It proved to be quite an extended conflict and, like all well-fought wars, required generals and majors and sergeants and privates and even lieutenants. It also called for a commander-in-chief. It takes a real man to be a commander-in-chief. In this particular war (which has been callen the War of American Independence, of the Revolution), the people turned to Washing­ ton. We can’t take our readers through all the details of the next seven or eight years, but suffice it to say that George Washington came through very well. There were times when nearly every­ body else was willing to call it quits and return to ) British fold, but not George. As a matter of fact, George won the war -and we became, theoretically, a free nation. Later they wanted to crown Mr. Washington King George I, but he was off royalty for life, so they elected him president' He served two terms. The folks insisted on electing him a third time but again he called a democratic halt — and no man lias ever been able to. get a third term since, though some have looked longingly in that direction. Mr. Washington spent a tranquil period of years in his home down south and finally passed serenely out of the picture. They called him the Father of His Country then. They have called him that ever since. According to the recent biography referred to above, Mr. Washington did, now and then, take drinks of wine and of whiskey and of rum. He also drank tea. Furthermore, he resorted to profanity . on occasions. For instance, he once swore at one of his generals who seemed to be trying to betray his country and throw the war to the British. Mr. 'Washington, too, is said to have had several love affairs while yet in his ’teens and early twenties. Taken all in all, Mr. Washington was quite human. ■If a swelled head makes a man happy he is welcome to it. Anyway it doesn’t take much to make some people happy.- x It requires courage to look inside your own mind and write down honestly what has been reveal­ ed to you. , When wheat sells for a dollar a bushel it does net follow that yon classify it as buck wheat.
