A CITIZEN OF
THE WORLD.

In politics, as in life generally
things which loom large momentarily
have a way of shrinking out of pos
terity's sight, while events which at
the moment nearly escaped remark
grow in significance. 1t is impossi-
bic as yet to know just what Wood
row Wilson's place in history Will
be, dependent as it is on many and
varied conclusions of unfinished busl-
ness. That he has grown in esteem
in very recent months, it would be
idle to deny. His great grief has
made men know him for what they
have sometimes forgotten him to be:
Not professor only, not statesman and
partisan alone, but a father-a man
with mans responsibilities and trials.
And now the President issues two i'm
nortant documents-an invitation to
all persons to pray on certain day
that peace may be restored to Eu-
rome; an announcement to his party
managers that he will take no "swing
around the circle" to mend the fences
of his party's representatives in Con-
gress. This decision is not q sur
prise to anyone who knows Wilson
and his ways. Whatever his de-
fects and angles and asperities-
and time will soften them and we
shall grow more conscious of his
oualities-Mr. Wilson is an American
patriot and citizen, not of his own
parish only, but of the world. His
presidency, opening with the enact
ment of promised legislation, has
been troubled by private bereavement,
by Mexican explosions, by partisan
ebullitions, and by the greatest war in
present memory. Whatever mis-
takes we have charged the Presi-
dent with, we have never charged
him with losing his head. His atti-
tude toward events in Mexico and in
Europe alike has been distinguished
by large mindedness that we frank
ly envy him. We congratulate this
country of ours that he has been our
White House ruler in those months of
storm,-Collier's Weekly.

THE COST OF
SUCCESSFUL WAR.

The illusion of the conqueror, like
strong drink, puts the Judgment to
sleep. World conquest is gigantic
fallacy.
Spain is enjoying prosperity
which she has never known before
within a century, prosperity that
is strange to her neighbors. In
stead of being prepared for war, she
is rrenared for peace.
Greece, before the recent Greco
Balkan war and following her defeat
by Turkey, doubled her trade. Mod
ern Greece takes its date from her
whinping by the Turks. Her sue
cesses in the Balkan war, however.
have set her back a half century.
