pected on account of the slight and
irregular attendance of most children

will get another chance. ".
AS starter in fixing up our school
grounds, the Board of Education de-
c1ded to take advantage Of the offer Of

evergreens to schools. It may be best,
however, to delay the major part of the
planting Of trees and shrubbery until
the ground has been we'll prepared

better and more lasting results.

to make himself immortal in his
tory cannot be questioned. No man
in the recent world conflict has been
guided to so many open doors of
superlative moral and statesmanlike
opportunity. But Mr.. Wilson has
forced upon the discerning world
construction which declares him
more a partisan than a statesman,
more a self-seeker than patriot,
more a visionary dreamer than a
constructive force in civilization.

into history as man whose vision
fell far short of his opportunity.
The foregoing are a few, from
Owing to his constitutional and
voluminous other, reasons why, in
my humble capacity as a private
citizen, 1 cannot sympathiZe with
Mr.. Wilson's political trend. 1 am
cheerfully aware of the fact that
many dissent from my views. Some
of my fine friends. and in a way
that quite battles my psychology.
seem to believe that Mr.. Wilson
stands the supreme paragon either
in historic or in the present-day
craftsmanship of the world. I de-
voutly desire one of two things
either that they shall convincingly
persuade me of the error of my
thought, or that they themselves
shall bring forth fruits meet for re-
pentance.

whom we have not been at war, and
the interference with whose SOW
ereign autonomy is in theory and
principle something utterly un-
American. Indeed, Mr.. Wilson's
League of Nations" as a guaran-
tee of permanent world-peace.
seems to utter itself as only feeble
voice amid a world-clamor of pro-
test and discomfort.
A man, to whom less than four
years ago the affairs of the Euro
pean war were so remote as in no
way to call for active Intervention
on our part, has come now to be
such an internationalist that he is
willing to turn America, and with
out counting the cost" into the
gratuitous burden-bearer of the
world. Securing practically no
compensating pledges of service
from Europe, he seems desirous of
making America the voluntary
almoner of the world even at the
sacrifice of factors deemed vital to
the constitutional integrity and life
of the Republic. 1t can be no cause
of wonder that his ambition en-
counters rock-fitm opposition. If
patriotic and responsible public Of
certainly equal to his own, calmly
and resolutely oppose his views, he
has earned it all for himself by his
headlong, obstinate, and blind self
assertion.
Europe, of course. was under
! bonds, not simply on grounds of
international courtesy, but especially
because of her will nigh universally
dependent interests, to accord to
Mr.. Wilson a courtly treatment. In
a most potential way the President
holds the keys to the worlds gold
vaults and granaries on which all
Europe needs largely to draw for
the support of its very life. At
whatever cost to National pride, it
was needful to all Europe to placate
our President. Nevertheless, there
is an ominous and voluminous ac-
emulation evidencing Mr.. Wilson's
lack of personal popularity among
the representative minds of Europe.
Mr.. Irving S. Cobb, in a recent
and really brilliant article in the
Saturday Evening Post, has under
taken to place Mr.. Wilson upon the
loftiest pedestal of history. He is
the man of destiny not only for a
Nation of more than 100000 of
people, but the one man of hope for
forty additional Nations. With
lavish eulogy, Mr.. Cobb pictures
him as the supreme leader in whose
presence all men should suppress
their personal prejudices, and whose
mission as the Providential eman-
cipator of the world should be rev.
erently and gratefully accepted.
I must regard this article as dn
audacious fiction. That Mr.. Will
son has had a supreme opportunity

sheer personal enmity toward the
President, are conspiring to inter-
pose obstacles fatal to the ratifica-
ton of even the principle OF an in
ternational compact in the interests
of world-peace. No plea could be
more flagrantly false than this.
The American people of all parties,
both the leaders and the led, are in
tensely in favor of a sane interna-
tional agreement which shall pledge
civilization against the recurrence of
war. But intelligent and patriotic
lawmakers, clothed with a proper
sense of the solemn responsibilities
of their office, who themselves have
been robbed of opportunity to know
tho evolution of Mr.. Wilson's pro-
posed covenant, an instrument which
has been shaped in secret and
barred places, cannot with any
claim to self-respect, or in fealty to
their high public obligations, en-
dorse so potential a document on
the recommendation of any indi-
vidual, however influential such in
dividuals standing. The present
much censure is uttered, arises from
highly intelligent and patriotic con-
siderations.

Quoted himself not only in a most
objectionably partisan spirit, but he
has played the role, on a most au-
dacious scale, of a self-centered
autocrat. 1t undoubtedly remains
the unalterable Judgment of a de-
cisive majority of the American
people that the personal presence
and participation of the President of
the United States in the Paris Con-
ference was in itself huge imperti-
nence. The chief magistrate of no
other sovereign nation elected to
choose such role for himself. But
laying all this aside, Mr.. Wilson, in
his sovereign makeup of the Ameri-
can section of the Paris Confer
ence, clearly laid himself open,
whether purposely or through lack
of vision, to the charge of deliber-
ately violating and defying a vast
consensus of sane judgment If he
could have dismissed his obsessions
by so far as to have associated with
himself, and nonpartisanly, for this
supreme task men representing the
ablest craftsmanship of the Nation,

shaped by the American section,
would have found instant acceptance
with the American people. The real
history is anomalous. Its quality is
illustrated by the Presidents nomi-
nal selection of a representative OF
the great Republican party consti-
tuency for place in the Council.
If he had lost normal sleep in plan
ming deliberately to cast contempt
upon the Republicans of the Nation,
he could not have been more signal
in his action. Passing by all the
peerless men of the party, he finally
hunted out from the backgrounds
of the past man who had long
since ceased to retain representa- tive
character or influence.
1t seems manifest that Mr.. Will
son, in selecting his associates for
the Council, purposed to have only
men whom he could personally dom
mate. The history as we know it
to-day seems strongly confirmative
of this inference. Mr.. Wilson's in
ordinate autocracy appears nowhere
more glaring than in his relations to
the Paris Conference. Rhetorically
a loud advocate of open diplomacy,
he took advantage after the Armis-
tice was signed-an i'll advantage 1
must think-of seizing all the ocean
cables thus enabling him to institute
a personal censorship over all COM
munications to America from for
eign shores. AS though obsessed
by the idea that he alone in all
America is endowed with something
more than a Jovian brain, he put
his official cap down over his head
and went across the seas, leaving
more than 100, 100000 of sovereign
Americans, including the United
States Senate, the coordinate treaty
making power of the people, in alb
solute ignorance as to his processes.
Judicial history for all time to come
will, and can,. characterize this
magisterial procedure only in one
way.
1t is more than rumored that the
President asserted himself with
much obstinacy and autocracy In
the Paris Council. He was doubt
less out-classed and outwitted by
his European associates. So far as
now appears, England has made no
vital surrenders in the entire pro-
cedure France, of all nations most
damaged and most menaced, has
emerged from the Council with dis
tinct and special guarantees for her
future safety. Belgium and Italy
are not satisfied. Japan has given
her signature to the Treaty, but it
self, as now presented, is little more
than an agreement offensive and de-
fensive as between the Allied
Nations. The Central Empires
are thoroughly dissatisfied and
disgruntled. A Democratic Presi-
dent has given the weight of
his name to the imposition
of the proposed treaty terms
