MRS. WILSON "A GOOD WOMAN.

The sympathy and tenderness Of
every home in the United States is
with President Wilson in mis- bereave-
ment, sorrow that TO him over
shadows all other troubles and sets
him for the time apart from all uues-
tons Of state and anxieties beyond the
little circle which has been broken by
the death of wife and mother.
Mrs. Wilson was good woman. 1t
is to be repeated as the finest praise
and the word of highest appreciation
when a good woman passes, the simple
statement that she was a good woman.
She bore children and reared them
well. She took vast interest in the af-
fairs of her noted husband as they in
cluded and bore upon the general veal.
An excellent and capable type who was
housewife, mother, friend and still
found time and interest in the public
welfare and held hope Of better things
for all humanity, bright, sincere, hon
est woman. good woman.
Not essentially different from mil
lions OF other women who keep homes
bright and happy, who bring children
into the world and watch over them Of
days and pray for them of nights, who
are true helpmates, good neighbors and
valued citizens, not essentially differ
ent but by selection and prominence
notable rather than different. The
darkened windows and the sorrow that
sits within are the same that mark
other homes today, humber but not
less a part Of the state or condition we
call life. Merely the world old tragedy
that began in Eden and will end only
with the race but not the less tragic
and seemingly uncomfortable.
The best that may be said Of any
woman as she lies still and quiet in the
home that has grown about her is that
she was true and brave and hopeful
and tireless and loving, that she was
good woman. And the most COM
forting memory that either men or
women leave behind them when they
pass afar beyond the veil, Is that they
| were good and brave and dutiful and
kept their faith to their own and to
God and the world unsuIlied.

STILL WILL NOT SEE.


Senator Foraker candidate for re-
turn TO the senate. in a speech at CO.
lumbus last week denounced the direct
primary.
SO indignant was ne when he con-
tenplated the primary that he reached
the climax of his denunciation in the
more or less pointless remark: TO
think that we can not meet together
in convention 70 nominate our can
didate for office"
1t would De rebuking nature to ex-
pect man OF Senator Foraher's type
TO comprehend the step forward that
the nation has taken in the last ten
years. Whatever criticism has been
earned by the primary, and critics are
neither mild nor few. no one with his
mind on the future has suggested that
the people ever will relinqutsh the
power the primary gives them.
1t has been proposed to concentrate
that power by reducing the number
Of officers to be voted for, but as for
going back to the old caucus and con-
vention scheme Of allowing a few
bosses to run the peoples business
nobody but the Foraker school would
think 1t worth discussing.

PLENTY OF MONEY.

iNeC7r fsdo!uS RspuOEcan.J
There Will be a plethora Of money
in this country after while. We will be
selling our own products. probably
at much enhanced value and we will
be spending little abroad. because both
imports ann travelling abroad will be
shut off. The hundreds OF millions We
have been sending to Europe for manu-
featured goods WIN be greatly cur
tailed. If not entirely stopped for
Europe will not be manufacturing for
export Even the fashions will not be
made In Paris. We will be thrown up
on our own resources. and that may be
a good experience for US and II may
set the habit for the future. But with
all the money that We have been
spending abroad necessarily kept in
this country. we ought TO have an era
OF monetary prosperity here, as one of
the results Of the war. The banks may
yet be hunting places to put money SO
that they can earn interest on it.

Why should the United States fur
nish the gold which will enable the
European powers to prolong their war
and kill few hundred thousand more
men, who are sadly needed by their
families and by the world at large?
President Wilson and the admins
tration think we need not do SO. With
their approval. the clearing house as
soc.ations of New York and Chicago
and the big cities have taken meas
ures which are expected to stop the
export Of gold to Europe.
Europe has gone crazy, but the
United Stataes Is still sane. and will
remain so. Gold is to be sent across
the Atlantic to help Americans live
there until they can get home. but we
are not going to let this country be
drained Of the yellow metal because
Europe is war crazy or financially
panicky.

and spirit of the times into a more
efficient instrument for the moulding
of character in boys AMI girls. That
force is the parents. There Is warrant
for the conviction that there is more
fault in the average home today than
there Is in the pubic schools. A man
can not fight booze. tobacco and fast
living in other directions and then ex-
pect the public schools to make angels
cut OF his children.
This father club movement seeks.
among other things, to impress fathers
with a sense of responsibility to their
bones and their children. II viii take

vogue at home and elsewhere in educa-
tional work. 1t will seek information

pose to educate themselves. They pro-
pose to get a firmer grip on the most
important business Of their lives-tne
development of character in their chill

There is no Illusions among them
concerning this problem, however. Men
going into this movement know that all
sound reforms mist be based on
