Places in History

1noSe VINO are launching undls-
eliminating eulogy of President Will
son in connection with his departure
from the White House are scarcely
kind to him. 1t is too early to Judge
his place in history. 1t is too soon
to place him alongside of Washing
ton, Lincoln and Roosevelt, even
though that should be the final judg-
ment. So the time is not a fitting
one for oracular sumhnings up
All we now certainly know is the
judgment of the present. And this
Judgment is clear and emphatic.
After campaign which in the main
registered individual approval or
disapproval of his administration, his
fellow citizens declared their deep
dissatisfaction.
1t is true, as Lowell wrote, that
the hooting crowd of yesterday
sometimes in silent awe returns to
CLEAN scattered ashes into history's
golden urn. But while the voice of
day is often wrong it is not true,
as many seem to assume, that it is
always wrong.
Washington and Lincoln and
Roosevelt were abused, it is said.
They were, but, remembering this, let
us also remember that Washington
never had an electoral vote cast
against him; when he left office he
was never more firmly intrenched
in the hearts Of his countrymen.
Lincoln lived long enough to receive
an overwhelming vote of confidence,
and Roosevelt was never more of a
popular idol than on the day he gave
up Office. So parallels sought to
be drawn are not exact.
1t is to " feared that many or
those who az rew weaving crow IS
of laurel al more controlled by
thoughts of standardization tbxn of
honoring another. The ch<A. sters
Of praise are almost w1tN ~ ex-
ception those demonstrate, not in
sympathy with the feelings of the
country touching issues that have
been at the front for six years, and
who smart a little as they realize
their singularity. So what seems
favorable opportunity is naturally
seized to present an indirect argu-
ment Of how right the minority has
been and how wrong the majority.
Since 1914 the world has sat about
table of anguish. During this
lamentable period the man of largest
influence in the world, the person
most able to give relief to the
stricken, has been fhe President of
the United States. What Of his
trusteeship? Has he been equal to
the task laid on him? Has he done
the work? These grim questions
history will ask, and according as
they are answered there will be just
appraisal.
It is not enough to examine IN
tents or to reperuse words. Was
there adequate leadership in the
days before the catastrophe con-
hagration had gathered unquench-
able headway? What was done
after the military victory was won
and the path to peace and recon-
strction opened out simple and
straight? The little waves of small
criticism will, of course, subside. AS
to many things existing opinion is
doubtless narrow and partisan, but
there are big interrogatories that
will abide and which must be candid
ly weighed before there is talk Of
greatness.

POST MORTEM


I thought that the birds wouldn't sing
any more,
I thought that the blue sky would
tend
To grow bleak and gray, when you
wrote me to say
"And so it's goodbye and tho end"
I thought that my heart would just
naturally crack,
I thought that it never would mend; /;
The flowers, thought I, would just
wither and die,
When you said OTIS goodbye J..
and the end"
When you said "It's goodbye, and the
end" as you did,

I'd never forget, so l thought then
{. and yet

FRITZ.

Consideration Of the imminent Dutch
Treat Club show causes another tear
for the death of John Reed. Reeds
lyrics for the show Of eight or nine
years ago were the best tho clubs
shows ever had. When Reed forwent
so-called light writing for heavier
methods of cosmic betterment, he
chose, we always have felt, unwisely.
His strong sense of satire, his high
poetic wit, and his courage would have
been great combiw! ton to combat,
on the stage, the hypocrisies and injus-
tices which he died fighting.

NEGRO COP WOULDN'T MOVE
Taxpayers demonstrated When
He Jumped Ahead of Othcrs in
Line at Court House.

It would almost break snakes
back to twist around as much as the
line of taxpayers in the corridor of
the court house these days. It's a
nerve wracking business anyway to
stand in line for hours waiting for the
county trea surer to take ones money,
altho most of the taxpayers take the
whole proceeding good naturedly.
But this morning something hap
pened to upset the peaceful equilib-
rum of the line. As a great many
persons are passing to and fro in the
corridor there occasionally appear
gaps in the line. Paul Sweet, 1881
Clay street. was among those standing
in line. Into a gap which appeared,
according to Sweet, stepped Frank
Jordan, huge negro policeman. Jor-
dam had just come in, it was claimed.
and took a place far ahead of where
he should have been.
Sweet said several persons remon-
strated with the patrolman, and that
Jordan invited them to throw him out.
Jordon also used profane language in
replying to the remonstra tors, it was
asserted. Sheriff Robert Miller, across
the hall, was notified but having no
authority in such a case, could take no
action. Probably on account of Jor-
don's size and the gun he carried. no
one ventured to accept his invitation
and he remained in the Place.
