PRESIDENT WILSON

we ckpcCe W oco
President Wilson by the Republican
press Of the country, simply because
he is a Democrat and stands une-
quivocally for the policies and prin-
ciples Of his party, but we do not
expect to hear him adversely criti-
cised by Democrats, who claim to en-
dorse the Baltimore platform.
We have never had a President
who has more consistently and con-
scientiously carried out the provis-
ions and declarations Of the platform
upon which he was nominated and
elected, than Woodrow Wilson.
Hence the logical conclusion is that
the individual who does not endorse
Mr.. Wilson's policies, is compelled
to repudiate the platform upon which
he was elected and which represents
the quintessence of Democratic prin-
ciples as construed and enunciated
by the disciples of Thomas Jefferson.
So that in a word, this individual
cannot be a Democrat at heart,
though outwardly he may be loud in
his declarations of loyalty to the
party.
Being the first Democratic presi-
dent in 20 years, the third since the
civil war and being native Of the
south, Mr.. Wilson went into Office
under circumstances which subject
ed him to the severest scrutiny at the
hands of the nation. The eyes of
the whole country are riveted upon
him, and his every official act is
scrutinized by his political oppo-
nents. as if to discover some defect
in Judgment, or some indication that
his administration in its entirety,
will be failure. He has been re-
ferrred to derisively by disgruntled
and pinheaded journalists, as the
"school MASTER" with the implication
of presumptuousness in aspiring to
an office acquiring craftsmanship
and great executive ability.
That Mr.. Wilson, during his brief
incumbency in Office, has accomplish
ed more than any other President of
the United States ever did, in the
same length of time, is conceded by
all fairminded people, regardless of
political utilization. That he is a
statesman of superior ability, and a
man Of mental and moral equipment
of the highest order, is amply prov
en- by his achievements and the high
esteem in which he is held by the
people of the nation.
In addition to the arduous duties
and responsibilities imposed by the
presidential Office under normal con-
ditions, Mr.. Wilson has passed, and
is passing through an ordeal Of the
most trying character, due to an ex-
traordinary combination of circum-
stances, and there have been few
Presidents Of the United States who
were confronted with problems of
such gravity and so dificultof solu-
ton, as have characterized so far,
the Wilson administration. That
Mr.. Wilson has handled the most del
icate situations with rare skill and
ability and has at all times shown
himself equal to any emergency that
has arisen in connection with the
duties of his high Office is universal
ly acknowledged by the unprecedented
people Of this country.

light plant is installed.
White City, in order to maintain its
reputation as al Up-to-date pioneer
town. had organized within its midst
last Sunday, a flourishing Sunday
school class of over 100 scholars, a
Bible class was also organized with
25 members enrolled The superin-
tcndeat of the Sunday school is Mr..
Troy Adams, the superintendent OF
the electric light plant and the school
started off under very auspicious cir
cumstances.
Meetings are lcld in the picture

asm is being manifested. Last Sun
day. a collection was taken up to
purchase literature, and also neat
sum for charitable work. This is
going t. be q feature of the city, and
the workers are very active in their
efforts to make i; q success.
Last sunday they were handicapped
in their music, from the fact that the
organ loaned the Sunday school could
not be available for the service. 1t
seems the owner of the organ first
placed the instrument, and then built
his house around it, Last Sunday,
when they tried tc get the organ TO
the tent. it was found that in order
to do so it woulC be necessary to re-
move side of the house, and for
that reason the FIRST service was con
Quoted without Instrumental music.
All this will be overcome at the next
service. however and as an organist
has been secured, some good music
is promised.

.JOHN BARRY
Commodore of the United States Navy
Born County Wexford, Ireland, 1145.
Died, Philadelphia, 1903.

The lik 9ness is based on the only
portrait of Commodore Barry, in eX-
isteuce, the work of Gilbert Stuart,
now in the state house in Philadel-
phia, painted just before Barry's
death, at the age of 5S. From this
portrait the sculptor sought to pro-
duce a younger likeness representing
the naval hero at tie age of 40 when
he was in the zenith of his career
Although the chief reason for the
gathering of Irish-Americans in the
National Capital, the ceremonies to-
day were but part of two days
celebration intended to emphasize the
achievements of men of Irish line
age in this country. Yesterday there
was a pilgrimage to the tomb of
Washington, at Mount Vernon, where
in paying respect to the Father of
his Country, prominent orators also
lauded the deeds of Irish patriots in
was an Irish song concert rendered
by the Glee Club of the Friendly Sons
of st. Patrick of New York City, and
a number of eminent individual sing
ers of Irish descent Tonight the cele-
bration closes with a banquet to be
addressed by Governor O'Neill of Ala
bama, and Josephus Daniels, Secre-
tary of the Navy.
One of the interesting features of
the celebration was the assembling in
Washington of members Of the Barry
family from all over the country, and
the formation of National larry As
sociation. Each member wore a spe-
cial Identification badge Another fea-
ture was the gathering under one
roof of the descendants of Irishmen
born in County Wexford, the native
heath of Commodore Barry.

Building material is low, labor is
abundant and eager for work, archi-
tects and contractors have more time
now to plan and carry out contracts
than in periods of activity. Lumbe~
is cheap, machinery builders are anx-
ious for orders, pig-iron is much low
er in price than it ought to be to yield
a fair profit to the producers, and to
many other things pertaining to build
ing to machinery and to construction
work the same things apply.
Every man who knows this country
and it's recuperative power knows that
this condition will sooner or later give
way to Astounding prosperity. Just
how soon that that prosperity will
come no one can say, but it may be
much nearer here than many people
anticipate. Even, however, if it
should be somewhat delayed in its
coming, it will eventually be here in
full power.

the money with which to build it can
build now to better advantages than
when prosperity comes, and at much
lower cost and with more care and at
tention on the part of contractors and
mechanics. The manufacturing con-
Germ that needs new equipment, or will
need it when prosperity comes, can
secure this equipment today to much
better advantage than it can do at a
time when every factory is crowded
and when machinery people are abba
to comand a full price for everything
they turn out.
There are thousands of concerns il
this country that fully intend to en-.
large their plants and have available
at present the money which could be
thus expended, but who by reason o.
the spirit of pessimism abroad, merely
sit down and wait, taking the ground
that they will do nothing until times
are better. When times are better
they will then rush like a flock Of
sheep, each one struggling to be the
first to enlarge his plant or to buy new
equipment, and the cost will be great
and the plant will be under construc
ton or under enlargement at the yer!
time when it should be running to T.
utmost capacity to turn out goods.
