MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
BE FAIR TO WILSON.

Partizan papers and partizan peopl,
are attacking and abusing Presiden
Wilson in a manner that is unbecomng
The president is regarded everywhere
except in strong partizan circles antag-
onistic to him, as one of the greatest
men of modern times. Men so far be-
meath the president in intellectually as
TO appear ridiculous, attack and abuse
him in a manner that must bring shame
TO the cheeks of most Americans.
Such men as Premier Clemenceau and
President Poincaire, of France; Lloyd
George and Balfour and Northcliffe, of
England King Albert, of Belgium
Premier Orlando, of Italy, and many
Others, give President Wilson credit for
doing more than any other person to
-.de..,;.r:one the kaiser and bring OIL the
revolution in Germany,
= We would have whipped Germany
without this. There is no doubt of that
but tens of thousands of American,
British, French and Belgian lives would
have been lost before this would have
been accomplished. Germany quit when
she did because of the fear of the up
rising at home, brought on more than
by anything else by the words of Presi-
dent Wilson who had adroitly from the
very start of negotiations, with Germany
:strIven to cause rupture between the
war lords and the people of Germany
Wilson has perfect right to go to
Europe to attend the peace conference
All of the leaders of our Allies urge
him to attend the conference Peace is
to be made upon the IA original points
laid down by Wilson, who his bitterest
political enemies must admit was the
first to outline the terms upon which a
world peace can and will be founded
OF course there will be American poll !
tsCians so jealous of Wilson's popularity
that they cannot refrain from letting the |
whole world know they are jealous, but |
we believe that 90 per cent of the Ameri-
can people are heartily in sympathy with
Wilson and approve his conduct of the
war
Let us be just to him. He made mis-
takes and some of them were quite
serious, but he has been right oftener]
than he has been wrong and he is our
president and we believe he handled the
war better than any other American
could have handled it. He will not be
| candidate for president again. Then
Why should Americans at this time when I
he whole world is happy and rejoicing I
When the officials, soldiers and private $
itlzens of our allies are praising Will .
on, condemn and belittle him? He :
must indeed be a narrow partizan who a
not willing to give our president credit t
or some of the best work ever done by :
ny American president. Let us adj h

Carlisle has been asslduously at the

always boys, no matter how many

list is not complete by any means, but
it is the best she could do in many

II has been an exacting task in which
she has taken justiflable pride.
There is another outstanding phase
Of Patriotic Day, too, that perhaps

is that, beginning with Lieutenant
Colonel Albert w. Foreman and Lieu
