Washington, Dec. 7.-President VIII
son sent his final regular message to
Congress today to the two Houses by
messenger.
The text Of President Wilson's mes
sage follows:
when I addressed myself to per
forming the duty laid upon the Presi-
dent by the constitution to present to
you an annual report ON the state Of
the union I found myself dominated
By an immortal sentence Of Abraham
Lincoln's: Let Us have faith that
right makes might, and In that faith
let VI dare to do our duty az we un-
derstand it. . sentence immortal be-
cause 1t embodies In q form of utter
simplicity and purity the essential
state Of the nation, the faith In which
It was conceived and the faith In which
1t has grown to glory and to power.
With that faith and the birth Of q ma.
ton founded upon 1t came the hope
into the world that q new order would
prevail throughout the affairs of man
kind, an order In which reason and
right would take precedence of covete-
BUSINESS and force, and believe that
express the wish and purpose Of
every thoughtful American when say
that this sentence marks for US In the
plainest manner the part We should
play alike In the arrangements of our
domestic affairs and in our exercise
Of influence upon the affairs Of the
world.
Victory Accomplished BY Faith.
"By this faith and BY this faith alone
can the world b lifted ont Of lts pres
ent confusion and despair. 1t was this
faith which prevailed over the wicked
force Of Germany. You will remember
that the beginning Of the end Of the
war came when the German people
found themselves facs to face with the
conscience Of the world and realized
that right WAS everywhere arrayed
against the wrong that their govern.
ment was attempting to perpetrate,
think, therefore, that It 10 true to say
that this was the faith which won the
war. Certainly this u the faith with
which our Gallant mon went into the
field and out upon the seas to make
sure OF victory.
This u the mission upon which d.
mocracy came Into the world. Demoe-
racy u an assertion Of the right Of the
Individual to live and to be treated
justly a. against any attempt on the
part Of any combination Of individuals
to make laws which will overburden
him or which will destroy his equality
among his fellows in the matter Of
right or privilege. and I think We all
realise that the day has come when
