'l By ELMO SCOT T WATS ON l'j:(H ow did it happen that George I!! Washi ngton came to be known by the name of "The Father of His Countr y 7" The ohviou s answe r to that questi on is, of course , that a new nation , gratefu l to the man who had led it safely throug h the danger s of a revolu tion ngains t its torme r rulers. looked upon blm as Its part>nt and approp riately ele<'tell him for its first Presid ent. nut the fact remain s that Washi ngl),. was knnwn by that title two years hefore the strugg le for liberty had been won and at least ten ~-l'ars before he was called to the highes t execut iYe otlice. To a l'ennsy lYania Gel· 1an almann c, puhli:;;hed in Lancaster, Pa., by l•'ranc is Hailey In 1779, belongA the honor of first applyi ng that title to Wa~hington. The frontl!'plec e of this alman ac was a crude woodc ut of a scene in which appear ell severa l symbo lic figures. In the upper '• left hand corner of the drawin g is sho,-rn Fame as an angel, bearin g In one hand a medall ion of Washi ng/on with a laurel wreath upon his head and in the other a trump et from which comes the words "Des Lande s Vater "-"Th e Father of the Countr y." .. Just how widesp read becam e the use of that title as the result of the publlc atlon of this alman ac Is 1mknown , but in 1781 lt was n>~ed again by ('nunt Duma>~, a French officer ln lloch!u nheau' s nnny. In that year Georg e Was~Jington 'wd gone to • ·ewport, R. I., to confer with Gener al Rocha mbeau . Althoug-h the inhabitants of thnt colony had l'ntl'ered ~er rii.Jiy from the ravage s of the war nnd were de:;;perately poor, they desired to give the comm ander in chief of the Contin ental army an approp riate reception . To help those who had been too impov erished by the wnr to purthnse candle s with whieh to light their windo ws In hi<: honor, the council orr1ered that these he gi\'en to them free. The parade in honor of Washin::rton Is desr·rihed by a contempo rary writer as follo\1'S: The ,Jrocrs sion was led orr by thirty bO¥~, bearm g candle~ fixed on staffs, follow c1 by Genera l 'V'ashi ngton, Count de Hocha mbeau and the other officers , their aide~ and the proces sion of citizens. 'l'he night was clear, and there was not a breath to fa·n the torches . 'fhe brillia nt proceR~ion marche d fhroug h the princip al ~treets and th<-n return- ad to headqu arters. On rca<'h· tPts tbP. door, 'VIlshi ngton wafted on the step until all the otftcer s and their friend~ ha entere d the house; then, turnin g to the boys who had acted ns torchbearer~ he thanke d them for their at ntion '1 hi~ was glory enough for the young pa trlots. After Ills confer ence with Horham bean, Washi ngton prepar ed to return to -l1i headq uarter s near West l'oint and Count Dumas wu::; appoin ted by Hocha mbeau to escort the genera l from. Newpo rt to Provid ence. In his memoi rs, Count Duma s tells of the Incide nt and record s tile use of the Soap Danger . Soap flakes and soap powlle rs, bf>· lng exl1·emely explos ive, tal;e their place as the latest indust rial hazard , says Scien<'J>. It has been found that certain kinds of soap dust:-; when suspended ln air are more violen tly exploslul e than most other lnd u.-trlal du)<tS. 'Ihese soap dusts are easily Ignited nnd txploa: e violen tly, accompa nied by much flame anll large qnantl tle!l ot h.,at 'l:b;li ls in rolte term "fathe r ot his countr y" as follows: We arrived there at night on :March 13. The whole of the popula tion ha<l a•semb led from the suburb s, we were surrou nded by a crowd of childre n carryi ng torches , reitera ting the acclamat ions of the citizen s; all were eager to approa ch the perRon of him whom they called their father, and pressed so closely around us that thE'Y hinder ed us from procee ding. Genera l Washin gt<'n was much affecte d, stoppe< l a few momen ts and, pressin g my hand, said: "We may be beaten by the English: It Is the chance of war, but behold an army which they can never conque r." In connec tion with the use or that term in referri ng to Wnshi ngton it Is lntet·e sting to note that a recent biogra phy of Washi ngton has been publis hed by the Bobbs-~Ierr-111 compuny under the title of "The Fathe r of His Countr y." It Is writte n by \\'llliam E. Barton , noted as a biogra pher of Lincol n, and In his chapte r, "The Influen ce of Washi ngton," Bnrton makes some Interes ting compa risons betwee n these two great men as follow s: He lo"ved his countr y and he was capabl e or loving every part of lt. HI! was bor,, In the South, but we do not think of him as a southe rner. He Hpent his life in the East, but few men of hi.~ genera tion had so much faith In the West, or strove more earnes tly anrl intelli gently to bind East ancl \Vest togeth er by roads and canals. Railwa ys, of course , he did not know about, but he would have been Interested In them. There is someth ing of close kinshi p In Washin~ton's eagerness to Ree a great nation al highw ay from the coast to the interio r, and Lincol n's gr~at hope of seeing tbe comple tion of the Union Pacific railway. Indeed , there are many tine quail ties which these two men had In commo n. Washi ngton believe d In educat ion, and sou;;-h t to secure a large Ameri can univer sity. This countr y, as h" believe d, needed intelli gent citizen s, and well-tr ained leaders . He believe d in peace with all nations, and he sought to secure that peace by Justice and honor. But he was a man of courag e, and when national existen ce or integr ity was at stake, he riskE'd his life and his tortune for his countr y. Lincol n was born In povert y and spent nearly all his life a poor boy and man. Washi ngton was horn In comfo rt and becam e a man of great wealth . Lincol n overca me the handicap of povert y. Washi ngton overcame the greate r peril of wealth . While none of the detaile d descrip tions of Washi ngton describ es him as a man the details of whose appear ance could be accoun ted marks or beauty , be was a man of strikin g physiq ue, and had a certain symme try that made him nothin g less than handso me in his Impres sivene ss. Washi ngton and Lincol n were nearly of a height . We do not know what Ll'1col n mea~ured In his stockin gs, and ht> was proud to add the height of his boot-h eels ~o wh<Lt would have been a possibl t> gymna sium stature . He caiJt>d himsel f six feet and four Inches In hPight and probab ly In his stocki ngs waR a little over six feet and two Inches. Conce rning 'Vashi ngton we have no precise measu remen ts and a Romew hat widely varyin g series of statem ents He probab ly was just !lbou_t Lincol n's height . Lincol n at hi~ heavie st weighe d about one hundre d eighty . Washi ngton was about two hundre d. Washi ngton wa2 spare and J,incol n always thin. Botl1 hal narrow chests. Neithe r had a large head In propor tion to his body, and that of Washi ngton, while about the size of the av~>rage head, seemed small becaus e his body was so large. Both men carried their heads well, on finely poised necks. Washi ngton had enormo u., teet and hands; Lincol n's feet were about the size ot Washi ngton' s but hiR hands were much smalle r. \VaRhlngton 's largen ess showe d itselt In the bulk of his bones and the promin ence of his joints. Lincol n's joints were not unusua lly promin ent, but his bone~ were very long In propor tion to their bulk. Both men were power ful physically and retaine d their streng th into later years. Each of these men, called to high and pt>rilo us respon sibility In an hour nf nation al peril, faced danger s, misunders tandin gs and misrep resenta tion. Each of them remain ed true to his convic tions and unfalte ringly loyal to to his countr y. Each of them was loyal to conscie nce, sincere , religio us, sympathet ic, courag eous, patriot ic and public-spi rited. Of the influen ce of this "fathe r or his countr y" upoo the nation which be founde d and as a final tribute to the greatn ess of the man himsel f, Barton writes in the same chapte r ns follows: Ameri can educat ion was certain ly not establi shed by \Vashi ngton nor Ia he the foremo st examp le or it; but his was an early and empha tic inHuence in favor of the develo pment of educat ion in Americ a ltsolf, that sh•>uld train cur nation al :ead<"r"' ani E'nable every Ameri can citizen to think and act Intelli gently . In all his transa ctions With the governme nt, as private citizen , as sCJidie r and official , no act of \Vashi n;;ton fell below tho high standa rd of honor which was Inhere nt in his ch:;.r&. cter. His person al i>ltcgr ity and his public probity were of the highes t quality . The influen ce of wa~hington Is still to be found in the traditi ons that belong to the Presid ential office. With modifi cations such as have come n:ttura lly throug h the years, the digrlty and influen ce of the office or th<l Presid ent is what it Is In no small part becaus e 'V'ashi ngton e~tablished Its preced ents and wisely though t out ItS custom s. The relatio n of the United State~ with other nation s are very l~rgely what they are becaus e of the w1-~dom of \Vashi ngton In his definit ion of the Americ an attitud e. 'l'he United State~ after long Ptruggles with section alism and divi~lve h•· sues, have con1e to see more and mo-re that Washi ngton' s vision of a great and comple tely united republ ic le Ameri ca's true ideal. It Is interes ting to realize the high esteem of George "'ashi ngton in other lands than ours. In Great Britain be is honore d almost as highly as he 111 In Americ a. In Europe , and throug hout the world, his name is known , and newer republ ics have found inspira tion In his charac ter and wl~dom. Ameri ca has other and more recent heroes and there will be more In geno-ratio ns tv come. But he stands , and will ever stand, as a noble embodl n11•nt of all that in his genera tion was worthi est In Americ an charac ter. His honor is undimm ed, and his name takeP -on added luster with the pnss1n g o! the years. 1-'ew na tlon" have euch a name to stand at the head of their lists of nation al heroes . Ameri< 'a ani! the world will ever venera te th~ nam~ of George Washi ngton, the father of his countr y, of the fact that soap Is n compo uno of semi-o rganic nature and that so<li· urn compo unds in :;enera l have a cool !ng effect on the il:lmes of explos ives. He puts forwar d the view that the wa,·es are thrown back to earth when they reach a point in space far beyond the moon.
