Washingtons Quiet Surrender Sets Noble Example
A Detroit Free Press excerpt recounts George Washington's cessation of power after the Revolution. He resigned in dignity, returning his commission and leaving public life, an act praised as a rare model of voluntary transfer of authority. The piece contrasts him with Cromwell and Napoleon and recalls his Mount Vernon farewell.

Washington's Coach Roosts in New York Barn Among Chickens
A centuries old presidential coach once ridden by George Washington now sits neglected in an old New York barn used as a chicken roost. Bought for 6500 dollars years ago, it has fallen into decay while observers muse how European nations would treasure such a relic in museums. The piece contrasts civic neglect with its historic value and mentions other historical figures in a contemplative poem and brief notes on tariff news and social anecdotes.
