names of four Presidents will stand out
In history above all others, they are
Washington. jefferson. Lincoln and
Wilson. Washington fought to give us
tho nation, guaranteeing rights to the
citizen, never obtained or exercised by
any other people: Jefferson taught the
principles of the rights OF man: Lin
coin preserved the nation as govern
mcnt of the people, for the people, and
by the people; Wilson has made the
principles of Jefferson Il living, vital
force in government and has applied
the ideals of Washington and Lincoln
TO the problems of to-day. and is steer
ing the ship OF state amid stormy
waters into n peaceful harbor. AS
Washington fought against opprcs-
sion. jefferson to make men happier:
Lincoln to make men free; so Wilson
is striking the chains OF bondage from
the average man, to the end that each
may have that equal chance in lifes
battle that belongs to each The ca
pacity Of people for government
is to be determined, not by bravery at
the Cannon's mouth nor by the extent
of a nations domnions. but by the
welfare and happiness of the average
Individual.
"No President ever had the American
people behind him more solidly than
President Wilson. They believe in him
and trust in him. and will follow his
leadership. His ideals will not bring
war. but will bring peace, not only for
he United States. but to a suffering
world
no man knows what this stupendous
war is about; no man knows when or
how the end shall be; certain it is.
though, that, prccipitated seemingly
without cause. it has taught the folly
Of the doctrine OF armed peace. Men
and women living to-day may live to
see the time when it will be consid-
cred just as grave crime for nations
TO fight and kill as it is now consd-
cred wrong for individuals TO fight
and kill. Men and women here to-day
may see the time when the peace of
the world Will be kept by an inter-
national police and an international
navy, under the direction OF a parlia-
mcnt of the nations OF the earth. Then
tho brotherhood taught in the Declara-
ton Of Independence will reign SUI
prone. and, each mans good will be-
come all mems aim"

DEPOSITORY OF SACRED
FIRE OF BROTHERHOOD
This Country Must Hold Aloft Ideals
Reflected in Declaration of
Independence.
FOLK TALKS TO STUDENTS
Former Governor of Missouri Tells
University Summer School That
Theory of Armed Peace Has Been
Exploded.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA. July 10
There is" said Ex-Governor Joseph
Folk, of Missouri. speaking recently
before the students OF the University
of Virginia summer school on Jeffer-
sonian ideals blu, one heart in all.
and that Is Jhe heart of America. If,
unhappily. We should be drawn into
the mighty conflict now dcsolating the
old World. We would meet the emcr-
gency one, with common. resolutc
purpose The mission of America,
however. is to uplift mankind. not by
The hayonet and bullet. but by holding
aloft those ideals reflected in the
Declaration OF independence that in
terpret the heartbeats of humanity.
The eyes of the hopeful OF all the earth
are turned with anxiety on MS rs the
only depository Of the sacred fire of
brotherhood, nov in danger OF being
eXt!nEUlshed in the floods OF human
. blood being she'd across the seas.
Never Were tho principles of brother
hood more generally accepted between
man and man than now; never were
those principles more generally dis
regarded among tho nations of the
earth than At present. Some one has
said that il takes thousands of years
to make a civilized man out OF a saw
age. but only a few minutes TO make
savage out OF civilized man. The
truth OF this is being illustrated in the
blood madness OF The nations of Europe
Though We may deQloro the horrors OF
war and abhor its sacrifices ana its
sulferings wo can but admire the sub
lime courage with which countless
thousands of men march courageously
down into the Valley of the shadow

THE LYNCHING OF LEO FRANK.

The lynching of Leo Frank is one
of the most mOnstrOus crimes ever
perpetrated in the United States. 1t
is a disgrace to Anglo-Saxon civilian
ton and an indelble blot on the rec
ord of Georgia If that state ever
expects to hold up its head among
enlightened commonwealth, it. must
hunt down the lynchers and punish
them as they deserve.
From first to last, Frank has been
the victim of mob. The mob con-
demned him before he was brought
to trial. The mob ruled the court
room in which he was arraigned.
The mob wrote the verdict of the
jury which declared him guilty. The
mob harangued and threatened Gov.
Slaton to keep him from committing
Franks sentence, and when this
brave governor defied such menaces,
the mob attacked his home and has
driven him from the state. The mob
applauded the convict who tried to
cut Franks throat; and finally,
through the undoubted connlvance
of some state officials, the mob had
it's will and hanged Frank to tree.
The bowling, hysterical, frenzied
crowds, which dominated the witch
trials of the middle ages could have
done no worse.
Is Georgia ready to quit the GUS
toms and companionship of civiliza-
ton? Is she, ready to take run
ming moose for her coat-of-arms, cart
tail oratory for her constitution, and
vest all power and authority in any
irresponsible mob that feels the
primitive bloodlust? That is the ques-
ton before the southern common
wealth today, and for long years to
come she WILL be judged according to
the way she meets or evades that
uuestion.-Chicago Journal.
