WOODROW WILSON

son for succor and for leadership
Never did one mar in all the worlds
history have so much upon his skoul.
ders. 1t was a condition Ne could
not shrink from; it was a situation
that he could not if he would shift
to others. :
1t was Woodrow Wilson's hope in
this hour to keep his promise to the
American soldiers to make another
worldwide war impossible. So it
was that his mind began to evolve the
League of Nations. But the war be-
ing over, people ceasing to fight for
their very lives. selfishness began to
assert itself. Greed for more terri
tory, for more dollars and everything
that was sordid and mercenary be-
gan to manifest itself. These hydra
headed undeminers began to work
while Wilson was engaged-~at the
Peace Conference, separate and apart
from the turmoil trying to get a war
settlement in keeping with his pro-
mise and that would make it well nigh
Impossible to involve his country in
another war.
His heart was so set on a certain
task at the Peace Conference that
he overlooked the politics as we'll as
the obligation of taking others into
his confidence. He forgot that there
were but few-perhapS not another
one-whose heart was so set upon
certain ideals at the Peace Confer
epce as his was. He failed to take
into account the practical side of
getting what he accomplished at the
Peace Conference ratified at home.
That was his second big mistake-his
first "a in issuing a public address
to. the people of the United States
asking for the election of a Demo
cratic Congress in the fall of 1918.
Had Mr.. Wilson carried Ex-President
Taft or Mr.. Hughes to Versailles
with him, we believe he would have
got practically what he did get at
the Peace Conference and the same
would have been ratified at home.
1t is Il judgment that when the
Treaty became tied up in the Senate,
somebody representing Mr.. Wilson
Should have spoken for him without
stating that he was authorized to do
So. and consented to some slight
reservations to the Treaty that'would
have. pulled it through. But Wilson
as wOefully lacking in the arts Of the
politician; this may or may not be
an indictment of him. He was stand
ing for an ideal. He felt that he had
sat around a council table and had
helped to make the Treaty and that
he could not honorably wen wink at
its modification.
1t was our Judgment hat the
League should not have been accept
ed without two or three slight reser-
vations, but Wilson never did say
take it as written without the dot
ting of an i or the crossing Of a t."
. Undoubtedly the majority of the
Republicans in the Senate had set
out to humiliate him; they had reach
ed the point to oppose anything and
everything he favored and. as al
ready indicated, he was unfortunate
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1921-04-01

ly lacking in the spirit of Cancellation
which in an hour like that would
draw the partisians Of the opposition
to him.
The Republican leaders in the Sen
ate set themselves against the Treaty
and talked about foreign entangle-
ments, yet that party was the party
to involve this Government in foreign
entanglements when it paid $40, 000,-
900 for the PHILIPPINE Islands. six
Thousand, miles from the United
States. When the Republican party
fastened that incubus on the United
States. it placed this country where
it must of necessity be more or less
embroiled in foreign affairs.
While the discussion of the Treaty
was in progress, p%rofiteering ran
riot. Prices sky-rocketed. The peO-
ME as a whole forgot the lesson of
Franklin. They forgot that an era
of spending meant an era of collect
ing. They forgot the lesson that ev-
cry sowing means a reaping, SO when
reckoning time started, somebody
wanted to hit somebody and that
somebody first thought of hitting the
party in power for all his woes, fnan-
cial and otherwise. Naturally Wood
row Wilson came in for his punish
ment-a punishment inflicted not for
what he had done but for what some
body else had done, or what some
imagined he had done. The same
thing would have happened had an
other man been in office or had the
Republican party been in power. The
people were and are yet in a chaotic
frame of mind.
Of course he made mistakes. He
was in error when in discussing the
Treaty he talked about what this
country owed humanity-he was not
in error according to The Christian
religion and the spirit of altruism
but he was in error in overlooking
the practical side of human affairs
and in failing to think that the Am
people were thinking then not
so much about what they owed hu-
but what the Treaty meant
mt and mine.
George Washington at the very
threshold of the United States ca
reer was maligned and accused of be
i"g in league with Great Britain. .

Woodrow Wilson was storm swept
almost from the beginning of his ad-
ministrati0n. He was compelled to
ride the Shin of State in the whirl-
pools of international complications
and INTO an unknown sea. He was
forced to 90 without chart or COM

AM MY BROTHERS, KEEPER /?

Above all else this country needs
a nationwide revival of oldfashioned
religion
A religion that makes men realize
that if there is a Heaven, there must
also of necessity be a He'll
A religion that makes a man rea-
liZe that every act is recorded on his
own conscience, and that though that
may slumber,. it can never de-
A religion that makes an employer

employees and pays them less than
fair wages, measured by his ability
and their efficiency and zeal, he is a
robber-
A religion that makes an employee

and efficient service, he too is a

A religion that makes a farmer who
packs bad fruit at the bottom and
deceives the buyer by the good fruit
on the top, realize that he is. a thief
IS mu n as the one who robs a hen
roost at night
4 religion that makes a man who
rObS a railroad Of it's fare, or its
freight bill, know that he robs him
self of all right to feel that he is an
honest man
A religion that makes a man rea-
lize that by driving too hard a bar
gain with a servant, his employee, or
his merchant, he can be just as much
a profiteer as the seller or producer
who swindles by false weight, false
packing or false charges
A religion that will teach church
members who fail to contribute to
the extent of their ability to the sup
port of religion, and that compels
them to recognize that if they are
paying their pastor less than a living
salary, they are robbing God and
man alike
A religion that will make the la
boring man, who by threats or actual
violence against the %non-union man,
strives to keep him out of employ
ment, realize that he is at a murder
err and is numbering the individuality,
and the liberty of his fellow-man,
and is displaying a hatred which, if
1t has the opportunity, will commit
physical murder

and is unworthy of the respect of any
decent man, but which will also make
him see that he is helping to murder
human liberty, as great a crime as
numbering the individual man
In short, we need a revival of that
religion which will make every man
and woman strive in every act of life
to do that which, on the great Judg-
ment Day, they will wish they had
done, as with soul uncovered they
stand before the Judgment Seat of
the Eternal.

: Religion of this kind is not meas
ured by the hope of a Heaven here
after, but by the full fruition now
Of Peace On earth to men of good
will"
1t is not merely the chanting by
hymns here or of the world to come,
but it is in. the re IGNITION and full
application by rich and by poor, by
learned and ~unlearned, that each one
is indeed his brothers keeper, that
we "a bring this country and the
world back to safety.
A nationwide acceptance of this,
the only true religion in action,
would sbring business peace and
would peace where there is no tur-

seek to gain their aims by lawless
acts if immortality, but would in
spirit and in deed follow the Divine
command, "All things whatsoever we
would that men do to you, do we even
