STICKING TO THE JOB.

1t is quite evident from the an
nouncement which now comes from
Paris that President Wilson is not 60
ing to confine his work in the peace
conference to preliminary confer
ences, exchanges of ideas and seeing
the delegates get down to discussions
around the table. He has been eX-
ceedingly busy since he arrived in
France in setting forth his ideas re-
garding some OF the many important
questions which must be solved. He
has been closeted with the leaders of
France, Great Britain and Italy. He
has talked to the people in large CEN
ters in each of the countries and he
has been given a warm reception
wherever he has been. 1t is now only
a few days to the date set for the
opening of the preliminary conference
with the delegates all assembled in
France, ready to take up the various
questions and do business for the per
lection of the peace terms.
How long it will require to reach ar
agreement no one knows. How long
the president will remain in attend
ance is just as much of quandary
1t has been said at different times
that he would not sit as a delegate
that he would he chosen to organize
the conference, that his efforts would
be limited to setting forth and ex.
planning his position, and as such tina

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mr.. Editor-A perusal of the New
! ork papers of this morning reveals
Wonderfully the grip of this powerful
personality. Testimonials from news
papers and citizens of all parties bear
forceful witness to this. And some of
the most interesting of these testimo-
lials are from those who, at times,
had f6TI compelled 10 oppose strongly
some of his policies and acts.
Friends and enemies-for he had
bad both-admit the immense force of
his character, the unsullied purity of
his private life, his stalwart Ameri-
canism, hi< unselfish patriotism, and
his unbounded courage of opinion and
action.
Whether or not one could always
approve all of Roosevelt's political
views or actions. the privilege OF
knowing him personally was a real
privilege, because of his unique per
sonality. You were sure to feel that
You We're up against a character
and a different one from any you had
ever met.
Roosevelt, as president. l only mat
o1ce-at the White House. But dur
ing his remarkable C-eer as the i'm
Eortant member of the United States
Civil Service Commission I met hin
several times.
At these tines, the jovial side O
this many sided man always strucl
me.
His ardent patriotism and his per
sonaI sacrifices for his country in hel
g eat stress will never be forgotten
| by any generous minded citizen d
whatever political party. Es

MAKE YOUR SHOES
WEAR LONGER

Ten months ago, W. H. Kelley,
lumber salesman of Omaha, had a pair
of shoes re-soled with Neolin Soles.
Mr.. Kelley does much walking and has
worn these shoes constantly. He says
they are still good for another ten
months of wear"
Good shoe stores carry Ne0lin-soled
shoes in many styles for men, women
and children. They cost you no more
than shoes that give less wear. Neolin
Soles are also available everywhere for
residing. Renember-these soles are
created by science to be what soles
should be. They are comfortable and
waterproof-as well as long-wearing.
They are made by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels-guaran-
teed to outwear any other heels.

true in South America. the transpor-

adequate. Exporters find that those
engaged in similar work in Europe ara
able to ship their goods under much
more favorable terms than they are,
so that even if the shipping which is
needed for trade development was
available the lowered rates enjoyed
by foreign competitors would still
place them under a bad handicap. We
need a big merchant marine but we
likewise need to use what we have OIL
