POISONED WHISPERINGS
Philadelphia mublic Ledger, Rep.

has taken time for the American people to sec realize
and understand one OF the genuinely fine but unsung things
OF recent days 1t IS curious fact that we Americans
simply could noealize the pahos and the power
OF the silent drama that almost tragedy that was being
played through the White House the final DAYS OF esi-
dent Wilson's administration Strange, also that the
American sense OF chivay and OF fair play so dull and
deadcned.
In late number OF the Ladies Home Journal Charles
Seden tells much OF real story days as the world
is likely to ever know For good reasons is fitting
mat the story should be told great magazine Ane
can women for its record OF an Ane can
duty to the n,nn she loved ri her os
yes of her patriotism.
That was time of poisoned vhisperings Eac, and
forth across the country American homes on American
Streets under church portlcos Pullman smoking cars and
everywhere, anywhere the whispers running There
was pett1coat government in Wasington' the Nation
was eaderess the country drifting to ruin beca Sc Of
that woman in the White House" The country was full
OF mixed hates and prejudces, blended with the curious
quick senseess anger at and everyhng that was part
vear1ness The land seethed with feelings that
were part rertan partsansp and part from war
strain All these somehow covcrged beating against the
door of sick room
Back OF that door lay crusader ior Ideasm wonded
near unto death Maybe he mistaken crusader bat he
was an honest one BY his side barring the anst
the world turning aside the poisoned speaheads OF hatred
saving the hurt from the venemous tr,ss Of Nation
ne mad all but died to save stood woman
Strange that America not see all this then Pa ,o
aiee IS only beginning to now! For at last the
iorked tongues sled the poisonous whsne rings
are dying away 1t is hard to believe now that in ali that
o's "ne when the chief executive of America was fighting
NE weary battle to live and Congress failed to offer even
"e most perfunctory resolution OF sympathy 1t is true
just te same and the shortest memory will recall the
harassng and houndngs of the sick man
nc Congressional Record tells the tale Of how certain lead
