Editorial
February is the month of famous
birthdays, for Lincoln's and Wash
ington's birthdays are celebrated in
this month.
Many stories are circulated about
George Wasinghton's truthfulness,
his honesty, and his power of leader
ship. A short time ago a leading
historian maintained that he had ab
solute proof that Washington was n
man who led a wild life of drunk
eness and vice and that he was far
from being the perfect man some
people had pictured him.
What difference does it make what
George Washington's private life was
compared to the great service he did
for our little struggling colonies in
the war with Great Britain? His
private life did not affect his use
fulness to the colonies after the war,
when he filled the post of the first
president of the then very new Unit
ed States. His work as president
then was much harder than the work
of our presidents now, as he had
no precedents to follow and he had to
ely entirely upon his own judgment.
He filled his position and kept true to
his trust, and it was partly through
his good judgment and through
honesty to his purpose that he made
possible our United States of today.
He may have drunk liquor that was
human weakness then as it is now,
and he may have had faults, but who
does not? Those things did not seem
to make a difference in his control of
the army as commander-in-chief, or
in his keen judgment later as presi
dent If historians want to rake up
disparaging facts about the great
men who have died, let them do so.
Let us, however, consider such ac
counts with a grain of salt
