WILSON-LEAGUE

Is President Wilson, having forced
his league on Europe, now determin-
ed with pontifical arrogance to force
the Paris version of the league on
America? II is most difficult to dis
cover a possible motive for holding
out any longer for the ipsissima YER
ba of the Paris document, except the
personal motive of pride of author
ship. The British do not insist on
their bargain. Neither do the French.
The attitude of Europe toward the
American feeling regarding the
league is: 1T always was your
baby. Clothe it to suit yourself.
Nothing so far proposed will cause
any change of allegiance over here.
But for the love of humanity and for
democracy, hasten to help us put
the ultimate safety of your own
hru the gigantic task of steadying the
sore-stricken, wounded and weakened
old world to its feet" Woodrow
Wilson is the one man who threatens
to block the way. He can 'only do
so by degrading his presumably dem
ocratic office, with its year yet to
run, into personal autocracy.-I

nothing foreign to American ideals in
the pledge that the strong nations
would take to respect the territorial
integrity and political independence

OBITUARY..

Softly, like the falling of a fleecy
snowflake, or the waiting to earth
of downy feather, came the Angel Of
the Lord to earth shortly after mid
night on February 81 and carried
back to the Realms of Glory the soul
of one of Gods chosen.
Ronda Sandefur, second son of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. Sandefur, was
born at Beaver Dam, Kentucky, Octo-
Der IS, 1900, and departed from this
world for the Great Beyond, February
21, 1920, being 10 years, months
and s days old. Yet in that short
life he had accomplished more than
most men do who live the allotted
three score years and ten"
He spent the early years of his
life with his family and was consid-
cred by those who knew him to be n
model boy, growing up into young
manhood the most highly respected
young man in the community. He
was self-sacrificing, always thinking
of others and doing good wherever
opportunity afforded itself.
Near the first of this year he came
to Newcastle with some friends TO
seek employment. He went to work
at the Indiana Rolling Mill, where
he was employed until his death.
No other young man ever came to
the city who made more friends or
accomplished more good in such
short time. He made friends with
his cheerful, sunny disposition and
won place in every heart. AS one
of his friends made the remark while
looking at the body, Truly to know
him was to love him."
He Immediately on coming to this |
city enrolled in the Young Mems Bi
BILE class of the Baptist church and |
was always present, not only at Sun
day school but all church services.
He was an earnest, upright Christian
not afraid to let the world
know that he had explicit faith in
God.
During the month of January he
enrolled as student in the Newcastle
Business College, where he soon be-
zane one of the most popular stu
tents in school. He was a hard
worker and made rapid advancement
Both the faculty and student body OF
he school feel his loss very keenly.
On February II he went to the
Clinic for treatment and was found
o be suffering from encephilitis, or
sleeping sickness" His parents
we're notified at once and came, and
III that could be done was done, but
o no avail. His work here was COM
'leted; he was in line for promotion
nd God called him on.
On Saturday afternoon at ! O'Clock
number of the members of the Bap-
list College, and friends gathered
round the casket in the Fox Under
aking Parlors and had a quiet but
Impressive service, conducted by Rev.
. M. Stewart, who made a very i'm
ressive short talk and read the
ourteenth chapter of John, after
-hich prayers were offered by Rev.
tewart, A. p. Jetterberg, w. E. Wag-
oner, and J. w. Cox.
