Woodrow Wilson'S Speechs on
Business and Government

Governor Wilson has always poss-
asaed, In very rare and enviable
measure, the gifts OF puplic speech.
He made . number of excellent
speeches during the campaign. But
1t may be said with some assui ance
that he has never spoken with such
wisdom and power as in . series Of
addresses since his election and his
return from the month OF vacation
In Bermuda. Three speeches are so
notable, In their exposition Of the
relations between business and gov
eminent In the United States, that
they ought to be put In some form
which would make them available
for careful study. The first Of these
early In December, Was n speech be-
fore the Southern Society In New
York. The second WAS delived in the
city where he was born, Staunton,
Va, on his flfty-sixth birthday, Dec.
u The third was u speech before
the Commercial Club ut Chicago, on
January II. The condemned reports
have wholly failed to do Justice to
these remarkable addresses. In the
case. for instance, of the Chicago
speech, the New York newspapers
printed . meager column or so Of
telegraphed extracts, while the Chi
cago Tribune gave ak columns to the
unabridged speech. These discourses
Arc In perfect temper, and cannot be
said to contain any attacks upon the

ing analysis, what economic freedom

Get Your Order In

THE HERALD is in receipt OF the
following, which is self-explanatory
My DEAR EDIroR:-I would APP
preciate the courtesy II you will
kindly advise your readers that am
now ready to make my annual dis
tribution of vegetable and flower
seeds, and will be pleased to send an
assortment to all of those who will
write me for them.
In making request for these seeds,
the applicants should see that their
name and full address is written
plainly, and state whether they want
the garden or flower seeds, or some
of both. But it is useless to give a
list of the varieties of seeds desired,
rs the department will not take the
time to pick out special seeds.
In order to insure these requests
reaching me instead of going to one
of the many thousand other Taylors
In Washington, parties should ad-
dress their letters or postals a.
follows:

CLASS

An article from the "Pathflnder,"
Ia weekly published at Washington
ID. c., states, that out of 100 pupils
examined In tie New York High
Schools, 8 could not multiply by l..
l07 could not multiply 4 by Il, III
could not divide Il by i, and % could
not multiply o by 1.
To see what the Rio Blanc0 High
School could do, Prof. Patton put
these same examples on the hoard.
and out Of the Al pupils then present,
% were correct in their answers.
Everyone WAS able to multiply by
l, could not multiply L by Il, 10
could not divide Il by Il and 2 could
not multiply o by l.
On an average, the Rio Blanco
pupils did better than the New York
pupils, but even at that, it was
nothing to be proud of.
The freshman are practicing for a
play, entitled mir. Bob" The date
for presenting this play has not yet
