THE PRESIDENTS WILL.

Some critics Of President Wilson
have seen proper to say that he has
made mistake in trying to do so
much. He wanted to be all in all on
every subject; he would listen to no
one but himself; he wanted to be
everything that could indicate his per-
sonal and supreme power, and that
no one else had any sense or judgment
about public affairs.
We doubt If the President ever had
such ideas. He has always had GER
tain ideals he believed in, and he has
resisted every approach of those who
sought to move him from position
he believed was right But he has
changed In many cases of public in
terest. In the last analysis the public
takes certain things said of this or
that subject as truth when no definite
explanation is made, and thus con-
viction becomes certain that state
ment must be true no matter how it
may be denied.
A single instance may be given to
prove how absolutely cocksure the
world may be on subject. When
stories began to be printed about the
long list of rich gifts that had been
presented to President and Mrs. Will
son by potentates and people of high
standing in Europe, the value of the
offerings soon climbed to unbelievable
figures. A bill was actually introduced
In Congress looking to an investiga-
ton of these millions in gifts ac-
cepted by the Wilson's contrary to the
Constitution of the United States.
How soon these silly tales dried up
when simple list of the uncostly
"gifts" was sent out from the White
House. The millions diminished to
few thousands, perhaps only hun
dreds.
So with most Of the other things
said of the resident. = ffafes are to-
day flying everywhere that Wilson
wants to hog all the power. He is
vain, conceited, self-opinionated, etc.
When the truth is known, it probably
will be found out that Mr.. Wilson has
stood out for certain principles be-
cause he was in position to foresee
the consequences If his policies were
not carried out. No one should blame
man who feels principle and is
willing to fight for it. The finest thing
in the way of public utterance made
in France by the American President
was when he talked in response to an
invitation to celebrate "Victory Day"
in Paris at which he was wanted to
make a speech Principle was all
very well in its place, but it was not
worth much unless a man were willing
to die to establish tiff he believed
In it,
After while, perhaps, many of
the things that are today said of the
Presidents stubbornness will be ac-
claimed as among the greatest attri-
butes of the man. There are many
people who still believe in his leader
ship, Notwithstanding he is so savagely
fought in Congress and through the
Eastern press

Wolpert thinks he had it ON the best

PaIisade junction Drug Store.
Julius Smolovit, proprietor of the
Palisade Junction Drug Store, says his

fancy and useful Christmas goods, and
the people of the entire Hilltop Sec
ton duly appreciated his efforts to
cater to their trade. The Palisade
Junction Drug Store has no counter

growing and fully developed. But we
are not the only people with similar
resources. The difference is that ours
are developed. There stand Africa,
South America and Australia, all
awaiting the unfolding Of what nature
has in the ground, in forests, in wa
tiers, in mountains, for future uncov-
ering. When that time comes Ameri-
cas- hold as a source of supply will be
appreciably diminished. But as the
simple matters Of the law of supply
and demand stand today America is
the one great source to which the en-
tire world looks for what it needs. We
have become nation excelling all 9TH
ers in history in developing science and
material welfare. There is no ques-
ton mark beyond this statement.
So we are of the firm belief that be-
fore the end of 1920 the war cOnfu-
sions will have been Strengthened out
and the whole world will be on it's way
to a new era. We believe that it will
besa peace era, too, for the most Of the
world, though this thought does not
carry with it the idea that wars will
cease. They will not cease, but the
League Of Nations will see to it that
whenever two peoples go to war they
fight out their quarrels in Marquis
of Queensbury ring, with the others
looking on. Dominance of world trade
will be placed on the nature-fxed
principle Of the survival of the fittest,
together with an exchange of products
that commerce will distribute through
out Christendom to make intercommu-
nication equitable and to meet the de-
mands of trade in all countries.

TO STIMULATE WEALTH,

President Wilson in his recent mes
sage urged Congress to frame tax
alton measure that would stimulate
rather than discourage the production
OF wealth. The way is easy; untax
the products of labor and tax that.only
which produces nothing and cripples
industry-idle land values.-Ridgefield
Park Bulletin.
If only the fools who oppose the
plan of even modified single tax
could see this good thing. Some men
have argued and written about the
land tax who are as capable of doing
1t as pig would be to eat with a
knife and fork.

VILLAGE GOSSIP
China Wedding.

The Ernest Sibleys celebrated the
twentieth (china wedding) anniversary
of their marriage last Saturday, De
cember 81, and the two of them went
over to Gotham, went to the theater,
had fine dinner somewhere and felt
just as happy together over there, all
in the solitude of the crowd, as they
did the day it all happened for the
first time away out in Iowa, yes. Some
people love to be young all the time.
Anyhow, here's congratulations to the
Ernest Sibleys. May they live to cele-
brate their silver, golden and diamond
weddings and still be as young and
happy in their hearts as they are to-
day.

to Johns mother, who was up peep

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products.
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad expansion-more en-.
gines, more cars, more tracks, more ter
minals-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and SO increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power Of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.
