By BERNARD 5. RoDEY.

THE man or woman who IS not

hard. IS a mutt OF course you are
thinking. and this Is what you are
thinking-wiu president Wilson be
equal to the task nov Immediately
before him? II he is. fame. the great

world began, is his, and democracy
viii take the greatest step forward
since the beginning Of the world
II he is not, then woe unto his repu-
tation. and woe unto the hopes OF
democracy. for the war VIII have been
more or less in vain
When president Wilson appears at
the peace table at Versailles the world
will witness The most stupendous oVa-
ton ever paid to mortal man. and it
is my BELIEF that his very presence
there and in Europe viii actually al
most personify liberty, and viii or
ought TO. cast . shadow ever kings
and autoerats and their governments
Royalty viii hide II VIII and Il
ought TO be ashamed OF itself Oh. II
Wilson is equal 10 IL. II Ie does not
permit royalty to toady him, II he
ignores It's fuss and feathers. its tin
hats and swords, II he talks de-
mocracy from the shoulder, II he thinks
out loud. what an effect it will have
among the var worn peoples OF Eu-
rope and the world.
Pardon our emphasis. but Great
Jehavah. did mortal man ever have
erty for the entire human race. as our
great president now has. Nay the
good Lord grant that he proves equal
