WASHINGTON, LINCOLN AND ROOSEVELT
In no way detracting from the universal glory which
is George Washington’s and Abraham Lincoln’s, there is a
marked trend of public conception, that Franklyn D. Roose
velt, now President of the United States, is to occupy one of
Ihose “seats of the mighty’’ beside former Presidents, Geo
rge Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
The anniversary of the date of the birth of George
Washington, the First President of the United States of Am
erica, was decreed to be a legal holiday, to be observed in
all lands, over which the American flag held sway. That
date is February 22nd, and the everyday functions of the
people of Nome have been laid aside to pay their respects
to the memory of the “Father of His Country.
George Washington was born Feb. 22. 1732. Westmore
land. County Virginia. He died after one of the most event
ful lives ever lived by a pioneer, both in fact, and in politics.
His death on December 14, 1799. came as a distinct shock
to the young nation. He is buried at Mt. Vernon, where
his estate is preserved in its former glory, to this day. Wash
ington was elected as the First President of the United Sta
tes. and served two terms, from 1789 to 1797.
It is from his practice that the present-day policy ol
only serving two terms as President, is taken. At the com
pletion of his second term, he gave that memorial speech,
known as Washington’s Farewell Address, in which he stat
ed he believed at the end of two terms, that he could no
longer serve as President due to ill health and various com
plications of states-craft, but that he would be ever ready to
assist with-his advice and moral support.
The people of the country looked to George Washington
to lead them through the trying days of early nationalism.
Today the same hope and trust reposes in Franklin D. Roose
velt. who received the greatest popular acclaim of any
President in an off year election. Important events trans
pired during Washington’s term of office, and today, events
probably just as important are transpiring under President
Roosevelt.
There is no secret that the leaders of business, labor,
theology, science, and education, are wholeheartedly putting
their trust in Roosevelt to bring about a greater measure of
security and well-being for the people of the United States—
the identical purpose which George Washington worked for
during his tenure of office. The memory of George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln, who also was confronted with
a like condition among the masses, as is being experienced
