Our thoughtful president-elect

cinch the presidential chair, he
wants no costly furbelows, no bunt-

In 1915, the Great and General
Court of Massachusetts assembled
daily in the Old First church in Bos-
ton. and devoted its time from May
IA to July 3 to what was practically
a trial for Impeachment of the fore
most citizen of the colony.
John Winthrop had been almost
continuously for fifteen years their
governor. and was just then serving
as lieutenant governor. A petty lit
tie squabble had arisen as to the
status of the militia company at
bingham, and Winthrop had made
a decision which perhaps was wrong
and an error of judgment, and the
people rose in wrath against the
most illustrious man in New Eng
land. one whose patriotism. devotion
and incorruptibility no man doubted.
For more than six weeks Winthrop
sat and heard harsh things said
about himself. he, the man of wealth
and high position, who had been in
the act of sharing his last handful
of meal with a poor neighbor the
day of Boston's famine, Wien the
ship came in with supplies. All this
the people forgot when the petty lit
tie question about the bingham mill
tia arose, and they demanded his
removal from office.
The trial ended. and Winthrop was
acquitted. The vote in his favor
was not unanimous. but it was de-
cisive. He rose from his seat in

getting together the nations of the earth was
desirable. they all felt that it was too visionary.

impossible. But. in that case, woodrow Will

monument to woodrow Wilson will be complete
and for ages to come this stupendous work in
founding such a body for the benefit of the ma
lions. the advancement of civilization and the
uplift of mankind will be his browning glory.
Woodrow Wilson relinquishes his official du-
ties today broken in health, a martyr to the
cause of humanity. He has sacrificed his all
in order that America might play her full part
in the great world movement now under way.
This part America is destined to play and when
it does woodrow Wilson will be thoroughly vim
dicated. Our best wish for him is that will live
long enough to see this vindication and to enjoy
the praises of his fellow country men who today
are all too ready to discredit him.

WILSON.

Another generation will better appreciate
Woodrow Wilson. who. today, passes into pri-
yate life after eight years in the White House.
He has guided the nation through the greatest
crisis in history. He has been the storm center
for perhaps the greatest partisan struggle that
has ever been waged in American politics. He
has been the most vilified man and the most
misunderstood man that has even been in public
life. Yet, we are confident that history will
show that woodrow Wilson has been one of the
xreatest men the American nation has ever pro-
duced and perhaps the very greatest from the
point of view OF the whole world.
woodrow Wilson has a wonderful record for
achievement. He has done things. He may have
had his own way OF doing them-a way. per-
haps. that did not win popular favor-but he
got things done, nevertheless. The people will
understand better later on.
And the things that he has done are big
sflngs. He tackled the hardest kind of PROPOSE
lions, solved the most intricate problems and,
what has been most aggravating to his ene-
he has usually been right. Those who have
elected to oppose him have had a hard time
sauaring themselves with their conscience and
with the country. However, they have been so
bitter against Mr.. Wilson that they would rath-
" be wrong than side with him.
While there are scores of things that re-
dound to the credit of Woodrow Wilson. the
greatest. perhaps, is the creation Of the League
of Nations. Here, indeed, is something that
practically all thinking men have agreed was
most desirable. Even Senator Lodge. the leader
of the forces, in a speech delivered
a year or so before the United States entered
the war. stated that the only way to end all
war and accomplish the greatest benefit to man.
kind was for the nations OF the earth to get to-
gether in just the manner in which they have
gotten together, But Senator Lodge. rather
than endorse anything with which Woodrow
Wilson'S name was connected, reversed himself
along with a great many others, and led the
forces in the United states senate that finally
caused the treaty Of peace with the covenant
of the League of Nations to be defeated.

SENATOR EDGE SCORES AGAIN.

Senator Edge has scored again. This time,
after a lively fight. he succeeded in having at
tached to the naval appropriation bill an amend
ment directing the President to call a conference
of representatives of the United states, Great
Britain and Japan to discuss an agreement con-
corning naval disarmament 1t is the same as
the Borah resolution placed in a new dress.
Although the bill as amended has failed to
pass, Senator Edge succeeded in his effort TO get
the disarmament amendment attached.
This disarmament ideas is the one big issue
before the country today. Unless something is
done to curb it the whole world will be bank
rupt. There is no reason why nations that
claim to be civilized should go on arming against
each other at such a pace. The League of
Nations offered the best way out. but an inter-
national conference on disarmament is next
best. OF course. IL the United States, Great
Britain and Japan can get together in a friend
~ way and discuss means for curtaiiing naval
expenditures, there is no reason why all the
other nations should not get together in a sim
liar manner under the guidance of the big ma
lions, and plan for similar disarmament. That
is Just what the League of Nations was organ
lied for-to make a permanent central body in
which all nations are represented, TO discuss
and settle international questions.

see the actual stone itself, you can
have its representative for your
own.
Get your bunch of girls together,
and go on a trailing expedition in
search of small stones resembling
in shape the Plymouth Rock.
You will surely find some near
enough in general appearance to
the rock, to take home and use as
a paperweight.
These stones will prove most in
teresting after you have chiseled
or painted on the upper surface the
memorable date 1920.
Another very different kind of a
stone which you have doubtless
heard of is the Rock of Gibraltar.
Try to find shape-edged, angularly
formed stones resembling the one
pictured to use as the Gibraltar
Rock paperweight.
The third paperweight is not in
the least like the other two. 1t is
an almost fat stone, and though it
may not resemble the one in Ire
land, we might label it the "Blarney
Stone" so that whenever we see it

brown next to the Fan.
When cold. cover with sweetened
whipped cream one-half inch thick,
then lay sweetened blackberries all

Use the meringue and any kind
of berries.
Suggestions.
Use common vaseIine or petro-
leum jelly for cleaning brass cleo
trical fixtures. Apply with a piece
of clean cotton cloth and polish
with old soft flannel. This gives as
good results as olive oil and is
much less expensive.
To Trim Collars or Handker-
chiefs-The figures cut from left
over pieces of all-over embroider-
les may be used for corners or Dor
ders of collars and handkerchfefs.
They are often as attractive as
hand-embroidery and much easier
10 put on.
Apply Alcohol to Grass Stains
Grain or wood alcohol will remove
grass stains from washable goods
when soap and water fail. 1t, too,
is safe to use on materials which
cannot be laundared.
To Save Time in Sorting Out
Stockings - When the children
change their stockings have them
join mates with a safety pin. The
pins need not be removed for laun-
dering and if mending is needed no
time is lost in hunting for mates.
For Darning Table Linens-WKcn
drawing threads for hemming a
new table cloth, pull the threads as
long as possible and wind
on a spool. When linen begins to
wear use these threads to mend
with. If carefully woven the worn
spot will scarcely be detected.
