of the letter reads as follows:

IF q republican. president had done
the arbitrary, Inconsistent and incred-

Wilson has done from the very outset
Of his presidential career, the demo

ago have united in q deafeping de-
mand for his summary impeachment
as an int0lerable, dictator. They are
only prevented from doing so; now BY
the fact that over his head flies the
democratic flag which in the stress Of
a presidential contest they prefer to

crises in world history. Tempest
weather is still threatening. Even the
signing Of a peace concofdat in Europe
may increase rather than diminish our
national difficulties iby precipitating
a revolutionary tumult that will rival
the war in its world convulsing con-
sequences. In any event the end Of

there was ever a time when, the, Unit

in these destiny fraught. days. n
Fortunately, in the midst of our
national anxieties and bewilderment
one rock of assurance rears its head.
1t IS the figure of that courageous,
