True TO his belief that the number
thirteen is lucky for him, President VIII
son awoke yesterday-March l3-wonder-
ing what particular bit of good fortune
would fall TO his lot during the day.

whelming majority by the State Senate.
These measures were the jury reform
bill and the revised grade crossing bill.
The passage of these measures re-

| In order TO attend in Washington to-
night the reception rendered Secretary of
State Bryan by John Barrett, Director of

| to meet both engagements, he spoke early
| at the banquet here.
Mr. Belmont, whose subject was
Patriotism" took occasion TO compare
President Wilson, by intimation. with
Robert Emmet-
Patriotism is in the highest degree
eXacting.' said Mr.. Belmont. Its appeal
is intensified in proportion to the needs
and the demands of country. II requires
absolute devotion. faithful and unselfish,
without expectation of reward. The i'm
perishable words which fell 40 years ago
from dying lips taught its lessons as
never before. and they have ever since
struck deep into the hearts and minds
of patriots in all lands under the sun.
Robert Emmet was born on the 4th of
March. I77S.
On the ith of March. 191S new era
has just been inaugurated in our coun-
try. \ new freedom is born. The Amer
ican people are conscious of that new
freedom to which our President has
given voice when he declared that free
men need no guardians and that the
government of our country cannot be
lodged in any special class
"As We look abroad to other lands
where revolutions. wars. and threats of
war. distress. pestilence. and famine may
prevail. We realize that American dis
content is. by comparison. a healthy
form of dissatisfaction giving expression
to progress toward higher ideals and
more equal opportunity for all the peo-
pie"

occurs he will take no trip and make
no speech until after the close OF the
special session which wilt commence next
month.
The President believes that it is the
duty of the Chief Executive to remain
at the White House. and, while he had
made up his mind 10 visit New Jersey
OH behalf of his pet legislation. he had
also decided that this would be the only
time he would leave Washington until
late in the summer. The passage OF the
Wilson bills removes even this necessity,
and the President now will remain in
the National Capital until the special
session adjourus. during which time he
does not intend to make any speeches.
