In the perspective of history an of
fetal act often receives different rat
ing from that given by contempora-
RES. Take this, for example,:
"The president succeeded on this oc-
casion because he acted without sense
and without constraint in a panorama
that was gotten up more for the bene-
fit of his party than for the glory of
the nation and the honor of the dead.
We pass over the silly remarks of the
president; for the credit of the nation
we are willing that the veil of oblivion
shall be dropped over them and that
they shall no more be repeated or
thought Of"
This is not an extract from an edi-
toriaI in the New York Sun or the
New York Tribune. Nor were the SEN
timents quoted above taken from any
of the public utterances of Senator
fo;ndexter or Senator Sherman or
Senator Mccormick. They are fronl
an editorial that was printed in the
Harrisburg Patriot and Union on Nov.
%, 1868, and have no reference to
Woodrow Wilson. The president in
question was Abraham Lincoln. The
"silly remarks" were the Gettysburg
speech.-Christian Science Monitor.
And, we are sorry to say, the Har-
risburg Patriot and Union was a dem
ccratic paper.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-08-30

The peace treaty is to be reported
in about two weeks from the commit
tee. Then there will be an intermina-
Bile discussion in the Senate. Much of
this delay might have been avoided
by the appointment of one or two
prominent senators, as delegates to
the peace conference, instead of lot
of rubber stamps" And we might
even have had better treaty. But
even Moses made mistakes.-Tampa
Times.
Mr.. Wilson surely picked out a
scrub team to go with him to Paris.
The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1919-08-30

Submarines were the cause of our
entry into the world war and govern
ment sharps declare that we will have
hundreds of them by the time we are
ready for the next war. They should
be designed to hunt submarines, how
ever, as the other nations will also be
building them.--Times-U Union.
Wouldn't it be more sensible to send
a submarine to sink big ship than
to keep it fumDling blindly under the
water trying to find another subma-
rine?
