his hand he pounced upon his victim

from hitting the man more than twice

The passing of President Wilson
marks the going of a character diff

ing, because, owing to his physical
disabilities, in the natural course of
events, it is not probable or likely
that he can never be able to take
much part in affairs of the Nation.
No one who has kept abreast of af-
fairs during the past few years is
likely to say that his was not, in
many respects, a great mind, and
while that is true not many are to
be found who will not admit that in
other respects, he was a weakling,
for instance, he so completely mis-

Democrats be returned victors at the

lieve, looked upon as highly un-
patriotic upon his part. The appeal
was made in the face of the fact that
the reading public knew that his
strongest and most hurtful opposition
in times of stress for the Nation,
came from some of the identical in
dividuals whom he was trying to
save, that too, regardless of the fact
that his greatest aid came from some
