He Is Good Enough For Them

It is reported from Tacoma that the State Bar
association of the state Of Washington, by three
to one VOTE commend the record of Judge G. FL. Han
ford of the federal BENCH who recently resigned his
office under serious charges rejecting upon his per-
sonal honor and official record judge.
So much the worse for the ideals Of the Wash
ington State Bar association This resolution of
endorsement in face of the fact that the pres
dent refused to permit Judge Hanford to voluntarily
resign until the grounds of impeachment had been
further examined
The presidents friend Ballinger, of interior de-
partment notorety, and other local politicians of
shrunken reputation and questionable fame are at
tempting to get Judge Hanford out of this scrape
with sufficient reputation to enable him to
fully re-enter the ranks of the profession for the
practice of law in Seattle. This should not be diff
fcult of accomplishment judging form the Seattle
standard of professional ethics disclosed by the
resolution of endorsement by the Bar association.

"AcKNowLEDGEp BY WOODROW WILSON"
BY Harry Burton

by f1dfFy buttOH
SEA GRIT, N. j., Aug. 6.--The
above is a facsimile of just one
of the letters that Ben, the old
gray-haired postman, hands to
Gov. Wilson every day at the
''little white house" in Sea-Girt-
on-the-Bay. 1t is just one of
hundred or more of such loaded"
missives that are coming continu-
ally from every point in the land.
"These letters are the pride of
my life," said Gov. Wilson, as he
puts his hand on the great pile of
them that lie ON the corner of his
desk. ''They are letters from the
people-from the REAL people.
Every cent that has come in
them has come from persons who
are not wealthy--to whom such a
gift means something, no doubt,
of a sacrifice. There Is not a
penny in them OF ,ained money
not a cent from corporations.
1T takes money to run a cam
paign and l need money. But l
don't want any that doesn't come
from the right places. l want it
to come from the average man
who believes in me. Such money
will be an inspiration to me-"
Woodrow Wilson reads every
one of these letters and acknowl-
edges each one personally. On
the bottom of every letter you can
see in his own handwriting this
little notation:
"Ack. by w. W."
This means Acknowledged by
Woodrow Wilson"

the governor lot came from a

So he lays him down and dies.
Yet, If he had been more wise,
He might well have won prize,

Courage tries and tries and tries,
Cowardice but turns and flies.

What's the use? The use Is plain
While there's vigor in the brain,
While there's strength to walk

While there's vision, large or

While there's grit to stand the

While there's pluck to bear the

And the bitterness or bane,

HOW TO HELP
WOODROW WILSON
BECOME PRESIDENT

Maybe you would like to
send your SO cents or your
dollar or your check to
Woodrow Wilson to help
him build up a popular"
fund. If you do, mail your
contribution to him at Sea
Girt, New Jersey.
Do not be afraid that 1t Is
too small. Already he has
received $4,000 from inter-
ested persons all over the
United States and not one of
these gifts has exceeded
$500!
And that is what Gov.
Wilson likes best of all
about them.

me-" he says, because they
come from the heart"

A CHISTIAN ENDEAVORER
SAYS HOME-MAKERS ARE
DISAPPEARING

Boston. June l2-The Rev. Francis
+. Clark. founder of the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor and the
Worlds Christian Endeavor Union,
denounced today the lack of spiritual
training received by the girl gradu-
ates OF today as tendency toward
the ultimate unsexing of woman and
the destruction of the best traditions
Of womanhood.
L believe that women should be
physically perfect, and that sound
bodies should be developed with sound
minds" Mr.. Clark said. NO one can
minimize the Importance of careful
training along these lines but Infinite
II more important is the growth OF
the same spiritual strength that our
erandmothers and mothers gave to
the upbuilding of civilization
"Atannis1 manners, uncouth and Of
ten almost vulgar speech seem TO
have become the characterizing pe-
culiarity OF the modern college girl.
The modern education OF women is
rapidly working toward the elimina-
tion of the gentle. spiritual and alto.
gether loyable type of womanhood
that mas ennobled manhood and been
the greatest of civilizing factors in
the history of the world
Physical and intellectual develop
ment are necessary. but when both
become SO important in the education
OF women that all other womanIy at
tainments are forgotten, we may well
be alarmed for the future OF our homes
and institutions.
The slang Of the college girl of to-
day and her affectation OF mannish
manners OF speech and dress are
aoominable. Woman in the home
should reign supreme and that SUI
premacy cannot be maintained if the
flower OF our young womanhood is
taught only track athletics and Eu-
cid"
