WILSON'S LEADERSHIP.

Who are the great Presidents of
the United States. beginning with
Washington and ending with Wood
row Wilson? Precisely those who,
recognizing the public needs, and
keeping in touch with the public
conscience, have stamped their in
dividuality and their influence. up.
on national legislation; those who.
perceiving the need of a given
policy. have had the courage to ad-
wise and to direct it; those who
have prompted Congress to the per-
formance of their duties as out
lined in their public declarations
and as demanded by the public
needs; those who have proven their
claim to leadership by wisely and
courageously asserting it. We
need but name Andrew Jackson,
Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roose-
velt and Woodrow Wilson as the
types of those Presidents who,
keeping close to popular sentiment,
have counseled wise and needed
legislative reforms, and have COM
manded. because they have earned,
the populsr approval.
/ glory in the fact that the
President of the United States
knows what the people want, COM
municates with. Congress upon sub
jects Of national concern. and re-
minds its members of the duty
which rests upon them, and calls
upon them to perform it. The
President is calling our attention
to needed legislation, keeping as
in communion both with what we
were elected to accomplish and
what popular opinion demands. is
always abreast of the times. He
is abreast with, but never behind,
the people, and bears with serene
composure that criticism and de-
nunciation which pronounces him
a tyrant and a usurper and which
reproaches a Democratic Congress
for complying with and conforming
to common purpose. 1t is a hap
py circumstance that we have a
ruler who knows how to rule, and
leader who does not hesitate to
lead Such q man. ], for one, am
willing to follow and to aid as my
poor abilities will permit in the
observance of common duty. We
have had Presidents of the United
States who have been unequal co
these supreme requirement: pres.
idents who have misinterpreted
popular sentiment and ran coun-
ter to the declarations upon which
they were elected; and the people,
always just, have never failed to
relegate such executives to the OBJ
Iivion which they have justly earn
ed.
So long as the President Of the
United States keeps in close con.
tact with the people, so long as he
seeks to interpret and obey the
popular expression of the popular
will. SO long as he leads in the
development of needed legislation
for the popular good. just SO long
will the people sustain, and just
SO long will the Democratic Con-
gress commend and follow him.
Thus far he has kept the faith and
shows no signs Of WEAKNESS in well
doing. Senator e. S. Thomas. Of
Colorado.

Review Of the Latest News Gathered
Around the State Capitol That
Will Be of Interest to Our Readers
Over North Carolina.


With twelve hundred Confederate
of the Confederacy taking part, the
ceremonies for the unwilling of the
Horne monument to the North Caro-
lima women of the Confederacy given
to the state were carried out. The
veterans were here in annual reunion
and joined in fine tribute to the
women of the South exemplitied in
the magnificent gift to the state that
testifes the appreciation OF Mr..
Horne and the state.
The exercises began in the auditor
ium at II o'clock with an invocation
by Rev A. E. Osborne, late colonel of
the Fourth North Carolina Regiment,
Confederate Safes Army. The Third
Regiment Band furnished music
Dr. D. H. Hill, president Of the A.
& NJ College and son of General D. H
Hill of the Confederate Army, deliver
ed the address for the occasion, his
theme being "The Spirit, Character
and Deeds of the North Carolina Wo
men of the Confederacy." 1t was an
inspiring story of the heroism and
sacrifices made by the North Carolina
women Of the Confederacy.
At the monument ]. A. Long, chair
man of the Memorial Commission, in
brief, fitting remarks, presented the
monument to the state, addressing
Governor Craig for this purpose. He
paid a most fitting tribute to Ashley
Horne who made the monument pos
sible, depicting him as having lovec
the South and especially North Caro-
lima and having admired most OF al
that type of life found in the South
ern women.
The speech of acceptance was by
Governor Locke Craig, who declared
that the state accepts it with mos
grateful appreciation as the tribute
of knightly soldier to the women o
the Confederacy. The statue, he said
is an epic with heroism and devotion
as it's theme.
