WOODROW WILSON

That President Wilson reached a
point, in nervous breakdown, when
his physician forbade his attempting
to go further touches our deepest
sympathies. Friend or foe, every
living soul in this land must admire
him as the highest type of American
citizen.
He is a man of peace. He did not
want his country to go into war. He
was abused and illuminated for that.
When war was forced on us he went
into it with all his might. lie he
made some mistakes-if he provided
for a longer war than we really had
and thereby incurred some expenses
no one can blame him for that. Ev-
eryone believed as he did Everyone
would have censured him if, after our
boys got into the field it had been
found he had not taken forethought.
And when our boys were fighting
President Wilson was cheered every.
where. Houses rang with cheers
when his picture appeared on the
screen We were lighting cnem and,
Cor the time had forgotten politics.
Peace came earlier than we had
dreamed. President Wilson wants to
see no more war, IL it can be avoid
ed, and no more bloodshed amongst
lel'owmen. More than seven MI
lions went down IN death. Many
more millions were disabled for life.
Thousands Of happy homes were de-
stroyed. Thousands of families were
scattered.
When the armistice was agreed up
on, woodrow Wilson agreed to go
into conference in France to see If a
world treaty could be agreed upon.
Then, as a presidential campaign
was approaching, miserable, scurvy,
contemplate politics turned It's gas
laden guns upon him. The republi-
can senate halted. President Wilson
came home to meet his people. Ae
he went from city to city miles of
approving Americans met
him.
Just as he was approaching one of
his appointments, her physician said:
''This train must stop. The president
is unable to go further" He insisted
that he should go on-but he could
