ever had to deal with so many deli
cate and dangerous problems as those
which have confronted President
Wilson. With more than half of the
world in arms in Europe, with Mexico
In revolution at our border, these
difficult and complicating problems
have confronted him almost daily,
and he has handled them as becomes
patriot and a statesman. When
the Lusitania was sunk the militant
voice Of Theodore Roosevelt cried
out for war, and il he had been presi-
dent Of the United States at that time
today 100000 brave American sons
would be eontending around the forts
Of Verdun in this mighty maelstrom
of blood--thousands would have
been buried in bitches. Our presi-
dent. patient. patriotic, far-sighted,
the real statesman, handled this ques-
ton with the greatest ability and
won for America its greatest diplo-
matte victory. There are happily two
kinds Of courage, the courage OF the
man who is willing to undertake the
dangers himself and the courage Of
the man that sends others to the
conflict Woodrow Wilson has both
kinds OF eourage---the courage OF con-
flict and the courage to act cody and
sensibly when he is dealing with the
lives Of others--the fate Of a. ma
ton.
-Four years ago we sneeringly
called Woodrow Wilson the school
teacher, Today he is the world teach
er. His subject is the protection Of
American life and American rights
under international law. And with
out orphaning single American
child, without widowing a single
American mother, without firing a
single gun, he wrung from the most
militant spirit that ever brooded
above battlefield, an acknowledge
ment OF American rights and an
agreement to American demands. He
has elevated himself to that lofty but
lowly eminence occupied by George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
Woodrow Wilson. the three worst.
