last Friday a ruined man. Ruined in
health and with his ideals shattered,
there is little wonder that he failed
to greet with enthusiasm, the
throngs who lined his line of march.
Nobody realized better than Mr.. Will
son, the full significance Of his polit-
ical demise and taken on the whole,
the situation was most trying.
Mr.. Wilson's place in civil life will
be unique. He will always remain a
power among certain factions in
Washington. He is the first retiring
president to make Washington his
home, and his presence in the capt.
toll of the nation will always be a
reminder that in the shadow of the
White House, there remains a man
who played and lost in the greatest
diplomatic game this nation ever
took part in.
AS a private citizen, the American
people wish Mr.. Wilson long life and
happiness.

THE PASSING OF WILSON

There is something pathetic in
the passing of Woodrow Wilson from
the White Huse to the status of a
private citizen. His ride with Presi-
dent Harding from the White House
to the Capitol; his curt answer to
Senator Lodge in answer to the SEN
ate and his apparent physical weak
ness, all marked the deep impression
left on the man after his eight years
of trial.
There is no question but that Mr..
Wilson was sincere in his purpose.
That he met with defeat in what he
considered the most vital of nation
al and international problems, was
due to the practical demands of the
American people who as yet. fail to
conceive the possibility of theory.
Mr.. Wilson, like most others of his
status in life, was a theory man. He
had beautiful dreams of a better
world but his plans were not in keep
ing with nature. Mankind is not
equal to his ideas for the solution of
civil problems.
Mr.. Wilson left the White House

during TIE sorry days of war.
Unfortunately, there are those who
would look lightly upon the service
of the Home Guard; but in the minds
of those who did the fighting, the
old Home Guard units of the nation
will always be cherished as pro-
tecting factor to the loved ones at
home. And after all, the man at the
front is by far the best judge of the
nations needs.
1t was the Home Guard at home
who prevented the enemy sympa-
thizers from carrying on successful
warfare while the younger men were
away. 1t was the Home Guard who
took over the responsibility of mill
tary police duty-who made it pos
sible for the soldier in the trenches
and training camp to feel that what
ever came, his fireside was safely
guarded by men" in whose breasts
famed the same spark of patriotism
which sent him into the lines and
upon the high seas.
Sank Centre has every reason to
feel proud of its Home, Guard COM
pany. Their duty may have been
light, but they did their duty like
Americans. In the forest fires of
the north they did their part in the
saving of lives and property.
their presence in Sank Centre was a
continual menace to stalking enemy
who only awaited an opportunity to
carry out the principles of the war
lords of his foreign land r
There were soldiers in the ranks of
the Home Guard. Veterans of other
wars whose courage an convictions
were American. Sank Centre has
every reason to pay tribute to the
men who kept the home fires burning
in safety while the younger blood
drove the enemy back to the Rhine
and broke forever, the power of auto
<cracy.

A PERSONAL WORD

The Herald is gratified to an
naunce that on March first Hugh E.
Wallace became actively identified in
the publication of this paper. In per-
suading the young man to give up
his road job and get bacc into the
game in his home town again we feel
that the two years service spent for
his country in the World War, to-
gether with the experience gained in
calling on print shop in practically
every section of the United States
will be valuable asset to the Herald.
Under the arrangement made, the
young man becomes one of the pub
fishers of the paper; the firm name
hereafter will be known as Wallace
& Wallace. The writer retains full
editorial charge of the Herald, and
Hugh will take charge of the mechan-
ical end. Any contract entered into
with him will be faithfully carried
out.
We believe that when plans under
consideration are fully worked out
that the Herald will be a stronger
newspaper from every angle. 1t will
be our continued aim to publish a
paper which will be a credit to the
city and to give service in every de-
partment of our business. Any
favors shown the young man will be
appreciated.
Until the early summer Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugh Wallace will live at the
Asa NJ. Wallace home.

warning to the warning countries to
cease their fighting and Secretary
DENLY ordered and American battle
ship fleet to the scene of action to
see that the American mandate is
carried out.
This action on the part of the new
administration, teens with that quail
ity of American punch so obviously
lacking during the past eight years
of the Wilson regime. Mr.. Wilson and
his cabinet had dilly-dallied with the
matter for several weeks and as usu-
al got nowhere.
Under the good old Monroe Doc
trine, these Central American coun-
tries are protectorates of the United
States hence our interest in their pet
ty greviences.
There will be no haggling over he
policy of President Harding. Like
the immortal Roosevelt before him,
the new President gives evidence of
the correct Interpretation of Ameri-
can dignity. 1t may take some time
to overcome the harm done by the
"Watchful Waiting" policy of the
late administration, but one or two
demonstrations like the medicine
handed Costa Rico and Panama will
make the World snap into attention
when Uncle Sam speaks.
There is a lot of satisfaction in
President Harding's first action in
Central America.

Sees Prosperity
Under Harding
Hays Tells Wealthy Business
Men of Era of Har-
mOny.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-A new
era of prosperity under the cool
leadership OF President Harding
was predicted for the immediate
future by Postmaster General VIII
Hays in an address before the
Fifth Avenue Association here.
To the wealthy business men
who comprised his audience, HAYS
outlined the following program for
American commercial renaissance:
l. Make future wars impossible.
2. Adjustment to tax consump-
tion of goods rather than pro-
duction.
3. Establish a sliding tariff scale
by putting teeth in the tariff
commission.
4. Cut down government expenses
by consolidating bureaus and in
jecting a, human element into Fed
eral management.
Hays, after expressing assurance
that the nations represented at
the disarmament conference will
come to an agreement to prevent
further wars, Iauded Hardipg's
ability ito inspire harmony, to
lead men, to march in step"
The spirit of calmness and
serenity shown by Harding" Hays
said, guarantees that the negotia-
tions will be carried on with calm
ness and without the mistakes that
arise from rancor and pickering.
This change of spirit which Presi-
dent Harding's personality has in
troduced into the world will have
a beneficial effect, not only for the
success of the conference now in
session at Washington. but also on
further steps in idealismL that are
just ahead of the conference, and
which only await its successful
outcome"
