PrnIses the Mayor.

To tlps Editor oi The Evening World;
In reading Henry Smythers's letter
Of Feb. 20, I wonder why he is
so anxious to get rid OF Mayor Hylan.
Probably he is one Of those soreheads
or know nothings and does not see or
even understand the great night John
F. Hylan is making against the big
corporations for the benefit OF the
people in New York.
But we cannot prevent him and a
few more like him from having such
an opinion.
Let Mr.. smythersvo;e as he pleases,
and II no votes against Hylan that
win not prevent the Mayor from be-
ing reelected with the greatest ma
! jority any m1n running for ON &c ever
received. @. HANIFgN.

THE SIMPLER NOTE.

MO MORE heroic or thankless task falls TO a
' man than to uphold purpose which others
who once professed il have forsaken.
Much will be said at This time of Woodrow
Wilson. He will be praised for his great qualities
He viii be blamed for his defects. Living men viii
pass in review the years of his Presidency and try
to see him now as History will see him later.
But we should Ike to believe that millions 0:
Americans today whatever their political faith, are
thinking and speaking Of Woodrow Wilson also in
simpler terms of human sympathy and acknowi-
edgment.
One does not have to belong TO any political
party to feel that here was a man Of our own time
upon whom were laid ,well-ngh crushing burdens.
The way he carried those burdens the courage
and conviction, the indomitable will and energy with
which he moved ahead under the load can no more
be denied than the fact that an agonized world at
The worst moment in its history hung on his words
and acts.
For it did hang on them
Schoolmaster, they called him.
Yet it was the "schoolmaster" who found ex-
preston for the larger purposes which bleeding, s
ferng humanity set before itself 10 keep up its faith
and courage -.
Ahocrat, they called him.
Yet it was to the "auIocrat" that desperate peo-
pies turned for their best hope of ultimate security
and freedom.
In the whole horrible weller there was felt to be
no firmer spot than the simple moral ground upon
which the President Of the United States took his
stand.
Living Americans know these things to be true,
for they saw and were part OF them.
Wish or pretend to forget it as some may, they
cannot deny that Woodrow Wilson, more than any
other man, formulated the aims by which the strug
gle against German aggression was rationalized and
exalted.
For most Americans themselves Shared in the ex-
altation until the danger was over and the spiritual
tension relaxed.
That is why if they are honest with themselves,
they do not need history to reveal to them the
present tragedy of the man who personifed that
exaation and its purposes
II was not he who abandoned his Emsyan1 theirs
When a man who meant to civilization what
Woodrow Wilson meant TO it three short years ago
goes into retirement, broken in health, yet stead
fast in spirit, amid a world that has so changed
toward him and toward itself, the fellow-oountry-
men of that man may we'll be conscious of some
thing more than an instinct of cold appraisal.
Apart from all political differences, he was thei1
felow-ctizen as we'll as President, living with them
through the game tense times facing the same prob
lens, sharing the same unprecedented national ex-
perience No man can say he Shirked or flinchel
when the big moments came. No man can say
he spared himself.
If there is true feeling left in American hearts,
American heads will uncover with respect as Wood
row Wilson passes out of the Presidency.
There will be tears in many American eyes to-
day as the War President of this generation goes
down with slow and stricken step from the grea
task which found him ready and with Which h.
kept full faith

The Hour saved.

~ the Editor OF The Evening World;
Living in a seml-rural district

Five months is long enough, as the

American financial interests are back
OF the corporation. which is building its
hrsi machines in Europe. Plans for
the first ship have been received BY
Fred ). Hardesty, a Washington con-
sultinG engineer, and engineers of the
corporation are on their wav to Europe
with the detailed engineering drawings.
The ship will be 757 feet long. 90 feet
In diameter, gas capacity, 3,355, 900 Gu
bic feet; 5000 horsepower, speed. so
to 100 miles an hour; disposable lift.
80 tons; passenger capacity, -, and a
cruising radius of 10000 miles.
Mr.. Hardesty has been the prime
mover in this organization. Associated
with him is Edward S. Childbauer. civil
and mechanical engineer, who designed
the electrical equipment of the Panama
Canal. Others engineers on Mr.. Hard
eSty's staff are H S. Jacobv. mechani-
cal, who will have charge of the ter
minal and manufacturing buildings of
the corporation; Henry Harrison Sup
lee, consulting engineer. a member of
the American Society of Mechanical En-.
gineers and the Society of Civil En-
gineers of France; Lieut. Hanson E,
Ely,Jr, United States Navy, retired
who is concerned in the operating end
of the enterprise. Mr.. Hardestv has
enlisted the support of some Of the
largest industries in the country and
members of the corporation come from
practically every State in the Union.
This project is founded on the pro-
position that rigid airships in the
United States will form one of the
most important elements Of the nation
al defense, and on that basis the ma
ton was created.
The quarters for the passengers are
designed to be luxurious, with uphol-
stored salons, dining-room with beau
tiful appointments, staterooms with
hammock beds of new design, elaborate
toilet facilities and loungng and smok-
ing rooms to make the cabin of the
ship an enjoyable vantage point from
which to view the scenery over the
routes as the ship wends its way from
air port to air port.

Who is Well Dressed?

Several of us sat in an automobile
few Saturdays ago. in front OF a
large grocery store. All types Of house
keepers were coming and going. "See
that little girl coming" said Mr., A.
"Her mother should make her clothes
little longer at all ends, and less
transparent"
LET us count the sensibly dressed
women and the foolishly dressed" pro-
posed Mrs. A.
"We'll count only those on whom
we all agree" said third.
The first to come was women with
big baby in her arms. Her heels
were run over, making walking diff
cult. Her dress touched the ground
AT the sides, swept it in the back and
dragged from the waist. Her sleeves
came down over her hands. She
looked tired and dusty.
The stout woman who came next
had lightweight blue serge that
fitted loosely, hung from the shoul-
ders and came just below her shoe
tops. Her shoes were sensible. The
next had light blue checked ginghaT
with a white muslin sash and butter,
Ay bow behind. 1t came well above
the ankles and was sweet and com,
Portable.
OF the hundred, we marked II who
had heels too high, clothes too shorl
or too transparent, paint too apparent
% wore skirts too long, too full, OF
too old-fashioned. Be it said to the
credit of the remaining majority of G.
that they wore clothes long enough to
be inconspicuoous, short enough to
keep dry on wet streets, loose enough tt
be comfortable, and simple enough to
be worn by woman of modest means
Most of the dresses hung from tht

that rightfully belongs to them. The
granting OF independence now affords

We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race I'm all

been consistently inspired by altruIsm.
We know that you were actuated In
your labors by the desire to contrib

And we love you perhaps most of
all for your solemn promise to grant
us that which We hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. Independence is
our national Ideal. It is our all alb
sorbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit Of nationalism
never dies. Much less can II be sub

to rely forever on the magnanimity OF

last forever II you keep faith with us.
There Is but one issue In the Phil.
ippine question, and that Is: Is there
today a stable government on the IL.

independence upon the establishment
of such stable government. Your

also have submitted plenty OF evidence
