Most employers are recognizing the
Importance Of keeping wages above

in his job. To stimulate efficiency and

If they could get waited on quickly
they would like to buy their tickets

to get their money back at once on

have caused much irritation during

MAN OF THE HOUR

The Rev John H. Brown, religious secretary,
just returned from oversee duty, at recent
public gatherin, made the statement that Presl-
dent Woodrow Wilson is the of the hour, III
spite of politicians in his own country, who seek
to decry the president and his policies.
One of the remarkable things about the quasi
leaders who pretend to SO great acun1en IN rela-
ton to all public affairs, is that they assail the
president Of the United States for doing the
very things for which the leaders of other ma
TORS applaud him.
Woodrow Wilson stands out today. in the white
light of publicity, as great this country
has produced. if not its greatest.
During the eight years that he has represent
ed this nation as It's chief executive not only this
country but the civilized world has passed
through the most trying period of all history
period which has not only tried mems souls but
which has taxed every resource OF the world, and
particularly of this country, to its utmost.
/ No man lives today, or has ever lived, with the
exception of The One Perfect Man, The Christ
who has Tot made mis-: axes, and many of them.
And even the most ardent supporters of Wood
row Wilson will rot claim that he is the per-
feet that he has made TO errors. But it
may be claimed, and cannot be refu.ed that he
has made fewer mistakes than have ever been
made by any executive else these mistakes
authority.
In Europe Woodrow Wilson is looked upon as
the great power not only of this country, but of
the world. And this not alone because its chief
executive, he represents this country but because
of the character and ability of the man.
The state papers Of Woodrow Wilson will go
down in history as among the most able judged
by the courts of international law, written
by the executive of any government, and as ex-
amples of dicton, stand as the highest in litera-
ture.
AS for President Wilson's policies, the fact that
backing of Republicans as well as Democrats,
makes the attempts of disgruntled politicians
seem ludicrous well as disgusting.
At time when the president of the United
States, and through him the country which he so
ably represents, is receiving the commentator
of all democratic governments, it i'll behooves
any man woman of American birth to cast
any aspersions upon him or his policies.
| The president has been called autocratic. If to
represent the people to the best of his ability
Congress; to know his policies and to give utter
ance to them, in the legislative halls; and to
take the people of this country into his conf
dence, is to be autocratic, then autocracy and
democracy must be close of kin.
But no fair-minded man could charge Presi-
dent Wilson with being autocratic in his ten
denotes. The people of this nation placed him
at the head of this government to represent
them. That he has done. That he has done well
all nations acknowledge, and men of every coun-
try honor him.
Let not his own people cast the first stone.

MRS. OLIN D. ADAMS

Inez May Pike, wife of DIN D.
Adams, whose death came as a shock
to many on Wednesday, April 2, was
born January 2Sth 1871, in Concord
where her early life was spent.
December 21, 1892, she was married
to Olin D. Adams and after residing
two years in Boston they came to st.
Johnsbury o live. Mrs. Adams was
member o4i the Order of the East
ern Star andi had been the efficient
secretary of vhe w. r. C. for some
years. She was a loyal member of
the Searchlight: Club of the South
church. In rece mt years of strain and
stress her symp athy had gone out to
those across tn 3 sea and she had
worked faithfully for the Red Cross.
Lack of physical strength, while pre-
venting her from always entering into
outside activities, did not keep her
from doing her Part in church and
community affairs. By nature, sensi-
tive, retiring and modest, there was no
lack of strength of character. Those
near and dear to her found her strong
to lean upon. "The heart of her
husband trusted in her." In neigh
borly kindness she excelled, very
often doing the little acts of friend
liness that mean SO much to those
who receive them. Her home was
the place she delighted in and in it
conferred her love ard interest. Her
husband and her daue liter survive her
and a wider circle OF relatives and !.
friends feel that an ilreparable loss
has come to them.
The funeral service will be held this |
afternoon at three o'clock at the resi-
dence on Summer street, conducted
by her pastor, Rev. F. A. Poole Tbs
interment will be in the family lot at
Concord.
