Creek, Wayland. Detroit, Kala-
mazoo, Marshall. Lansing, and
from Idaho. Hiram Seeley, wh,
attended the first school in the

ent also Oscar Ware and wife, Of
Idaho. who attended the school
the winter of 1866, when Hiram
Particle was the teacher. There
were Is present who went to
school together that winter. This
was the last district school the
writer attended, and he has some
pleasant recollections of the school
and scholars of 1864-5-6. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ware had not been back to
the old scenes in 48 years, and to
say we were all glad to see them
expresses it lightly.
The picnic was. held at the

the possibility of gaining her influence
to conquer the stubborn spirit of the
man, who persistently sOwed dissenslon
among his fellows. So strong was his
power, that to dismiss him would mean
a loss of valuable followers. And as
John Burrows considered, the door
opened and girl came swiftly into the
room.
"Angela," cried the boy, his thin
arms outstretched.
The head bent over Tonnes was as
dusky as his own, and when the girl
turned to look questioningly at Bur
rows, her eyes were deep and dark.
Admiration was in the gaze John
Burrows gave her. Her face was like
a glowing flower above the plainness
Of her dark blue dress.
"You are Tonie's friend, l hear" he
said.
The girl nodded, as she drew some
bright picture cards from bundle
and spread them out before the invalid.
Then, mechanically almost, but with
a radiant smile at the boy, she began
her game.

strangely. He found himself forced to
return again to the dingy room.

WILSON'S ARROGANCE

The fight against this was lead by the
Japanese delegates and Premier

bitter in his opposition; he resented
the policy, and made personal mat

with the President, in which, ac-

feeling, and in the end. Mr.. Hughes
caught up his portfolio and started

port OF the League OF Nations has
been consistent and vigorous, returns
to the United States to write that II

dent Wilson, whose attitude toward

OF the fact that many of the earlier
articles of Mr.. Smith were very
laudatory OF President Wilon and

man OF the world, Mr. Smiths latest
article caused sensation because
of its cutting analysis of the Presi-
dents weaknesses and IT'S attributing
to him whatever blame there may be
for the unpopularity of the League
of Nations program.
The article which appeard in the
New York Globe under Mr.. Smiths
signature said:
Many men of different political
beliefs have wondered what reasons
induced President Wilson, to refrain
from making any definite explana-
ton to Congress or the general public
of the course he pursued with re-
gard to the framing OF the existing
covenant OF the league of nations.

ALL BLAME

what considerations governed
his decision? Enough has happened
in the last few weeks to make Il
apparent that If the plan Of league
Of nations is defeated, either in the
peace conference or afterward by the
refusal, say, the American senate,
to ratify the treaty providing for II,
the blame must rest, first of all,
upon the shoulders Of Woodrow VIII
son. Whether in petulant anger or
in genuinely lofty contempt, the
President was led to assume a posi-
ton which excited the ire of a vast
number--some people, let us hope,
mistakenly, claim majorlty-of his
fellow citizens and caused them to
set their faces against the plan for
which he has made himself the
principal sponsor.

CHAGRIN OVER ELECTION?
at has seemed to many observers
that Mr. Wilson was deeply chag-
rined by the failure of his proclama-
ton to the. country last October
asking for the election OF Demo
cratic congress. 1t is an open secret
that he was advised to adopt this
plan by the professional politicians
among his advisers, the reactionaries
of the Democratic Administration,
and that he took their advice against
the counter arguments of men who
have influenced him in his general
assumption of idealistic policies. In
any event, MIR. Wilson issued the
proclamation and the result was
flat reputation of it-a majority
larger than the most sanguine Re-
publican had expected
When the President sailed for
Europe he was still influenced by
the Christening effect OF this expef-
fence. and 1t appeared to some who
studied his speeches and attitude
that he likewise nourished a sense
of resentment. His reception abroad
apparently served to convince him
that he had been i'll treated The
rulers and people Of Britain. France
and Italy hailed him as the deliv-
erer of civilization, as the foremost
statesman of the modern world, as
the bearer of message which should
herald the dawn of new era for
mankind. 1t almost seems as though
in the midst of this universal out
burst of adulation he became imbued
with the conviction that he was not
appreciated at home and that II
would serve congress right if he

'In any case. Mr.. Wilson arrived

tial friendliness toward the various
statesmen he met None can be more
pleasant than he when he chooses.
He earned the good opinion and re-
spect of Lloyd George, Balfour. Gle

the peace conference. He accepted
