A GRIDIRON SPEECH.

It is not often that the country has the opportunity of
reading any of the speeches made at the dinners of the
Gridron club, since they always delivered in the
stricest confidence confidence that betrayed
But the speech of the president at the dinner of Saturday
night was felt to be important that response many
demands, both the president and the club waived the
secrecy rule and result the people have the unusual
privilege of studying the presidents words That they
are both wise and weghty WILL think be universally
admitted Both in tone and substance the speech is adj
mirabe and sound While it is not the argument of mere
compromiser it does point out the danger involved in the
taking OF extreme POSITIONS especially when great world
issues are under discussion.
The question: Mr. Wilson sees it. is not what this
that group OF people is thinking at the present moment
but rather what line of action would most truly carry on
the American tradition. If would know what the
American people are truly thinking must go back to
the fountains Of American action" We must try to be
true, not to what certain folk may be saying today but
to those principles and traditions that undere our whole
national life. Mr.. Wilson said:

where to put the kitchen sink.
Now Mary had a favorite rocking

kitchen cabinet. To put the sink in
the corner would disturb the rocking
chair, and that would never do. The

an adjoining room, in a dark corner

course, meant miles of walking every

CANCELLING A PLEDGE.
