President Wilson

The following Is from the Ohio State
Journal. OF Columbus. Ohio:
President Wilson made another
great speech last Thursday at JEFF
ferson day banquet at Washington.
While IL was a Democratic speech il
was as replete with patriotic senti-
ment as one might imagine a Repub-
lican speech to be. In fact, politics
In party sense was ignored. He
said:
FRANKLY, gentlemen, / am not in
terested in rnersonal ambitions May
! not admit even in this company that
l am not enthusiastic over mere party
success?"
What does he mean-this leader Of
the Democratic party? Simply this.
that no mere party triumph exalts the
nation. There must be connected with
II the spirit OF a high and patriotic
purpose, in which all party claims are
spurned And then he says:
This country has not the time, il is
not now I'm the temper, to listen to the
violent. TO the passionate, to the am
bilious"
And yet, the violent the passionate
and the ambitious are the ones who
are trying 10 run the country. One
can hardly utter a word Of cool. com
mon sense without the politicians at
tacking him from all sides. Further
the President said
This country demands service
which is essentially and fundamental
ly partisan Some gentlemen will
learn this soon, some will learn IL
late, but they will all learn It so thor.
oughly that it will be digestod. This
country demands at this time as II
never did before absolutely dislnter-
ested and partisan service"
That is the reason we like Presi-
don't Wilson It IS not because he is
Democrat If we were nothing
more. we would oppose him siren
uously But there is something man
~ Nb'hN IlH NlltIdNttHt something
that appeals TO our old-tme Repubm
canism and in that connection we like
TO think OF him In his fine sermon at
The Grand in this city last Wednesday
Rev. Dr Hugh Black said that relig-
ion did not depend upon party, class
Or doctrine iis hope was in the di-
vino spirit. and that is the only re-
lance of patriotism We quote again
from the Presidents speech
Those are days that discredit sell
fish speech These are days that ought
20 quiet ill-considored counsel These
are solemn days, when all the moral
standards of mankind are about TO be
finally tried out"
And the President does not limit
those trials of moral standards 90 for
oign controversy but 10 local politics.
for indeed wo viii never have the best
national politics until state and local
politics lead the way
