Wilson Tribute to be 100000

New York, March 1.-THE nation

which. has been proposed by a
number of mis- admirers, both men
and women, will probably take the
form of a 100000 fund to be con-
tributed in small amounts, the inter-
est on which will be devoted to re-
warding the one who during the year
has done the greatest service to hu-
amnity. The nature of the service
for which the award vii! be made is
to be defined By Mr.. Wilson, who has
been told of the project and has ex-
pressed himself as deeply apprecia-
tive of the honor paid him and of
the purpose fo- which the money is
to be used.
The idea originated with women
admirers of Mr.. Wilson, those who
worked in the last campaign to gain
support for the League of Nations,

his other service to tic. country dur

WAS EXPECTED TO PROTEST
Customary at One Time for Speaker
of House of Commons to Re-
sist Appointment.

In one respect newly appointed
speaker of the British house Of COM
mons may congratulate himself that
there has been an abandonment Of
some Of the old customs, for he is
no longer expected to make an elabor-
ate pretense of unwillingness to accept
his great Office.
This pretense was carried to great
lengths at one time, and the cere-
mony took on some points Of likeness
to the bridal customs Of savage coun-
tries, for the speaker was expected to
make a show even Of physical re-
sistance when led to the chair.
It was not an original custom of the
house. Far back in history 1t appears
that speakers protested to the house
and to the crown against their cleo
ton only when they really adid not
want to be appointed 1t seems to
have been under the Tudors that a
ridiculous subservience was imported,
and it was expected Of the speaker,
that he should "make repeated ex-
cuses and declare himself unworthy OF
election"

GREAT POWER OF PRESIDENT
United States Chief Executive "Most
Potent Constitutional Function
airy in the World"

The legal functions of the Presi-
dents office are so eminent that he
cannot escape the responsibilities of
executive action, however much he
may be inclined to avoid them. His
constitutional powers alone make him
the pivot upon which all the admins
trative machinery operates.
He appoints the heads Of depart
ments and may direct their major pol
icies. His power of appointment to
all the greater offices is far reaching.
He can recommend, shape and veto
legislation. His control over foreign
affairs is virtually complete. He Is
commander in chief Of the army and
the navy. In short, he is the most
potent constitutional functionary in
the world.
All these constitutional powers have
been vastly augmented by practice
and custom. The President today can
do innumerable things that George
Washington or Thomas Jefferson
would never have dared do even If
they had thought Of them.
The constitutional conception Of the
President is that of a chief executive,
an administrator custom has added
to this conception that Of leadership,
of nitiation.-Samuel P. Ortiz in the
Yale Review.

Cluno to the Foothills.

Humanity in its settlements has
never cared for the high mountains
or their valleys. But the races OF
men have ever been well disposed to
snuggle up close to the foothills
The modern cities have been built
beside great rivers on the fiat lands,
but in : Biblical times cities were
founded upon rocks In the lower hills
and where no hills existed, as in the
Mesopotamia valley, the Assyrians
built huge brick platform in imita-
ton of a flat hill, and reared their
city upon that Athens was built upon
and about the Acropolis, the Areo-
pagus, and the limestone heights be-
tween Cephissus and Ilissus. Rome
and Constantinople are both builded
on their seven hills, and the hills
around about Jerusalem are famous

POSSIBLE TO BE TOO FRANK
Honest Criticism by Friends Would
Wreck ReIations-Aimost Every
One Has "Paste Jewels"

=. 1T is impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being and
still remain on terms of friendship
with him. There is little friendship
without make-believe II two men are
close friends, you may take 1t that
they have been pretending to a con-
.siderably higher estimate Of each other
than they would set down In perfect
honest diary.
It is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to another, but they
must discreetly conceal a certain
amount of criticism that is going on
all the time behind the bones Of their
skulls.
What Is said In a spirit Of truth is
set down to malice. Can a man be
your friend If he steals the crown
from your head? Can he be your
friend even If he steals single jewel
from your especially the paste
jewel? We have all-the greatest and
the meanest Of us paste jewels in our
crowns. Will true friend point them
out to a world that is already over
much inclined to scott? Or will he not
rather organize claque that will
pretend to be dazzled by diamonds?
Man is not only a realist. He is also
a lover Of romance. He dreams Of
what he would be quite as often as
he deplores what he is. He cannot
help being attracted by people who
make his dream appear true. There
are some men who are such intense
cyclists that they can believe in the
truth Of their dreams without any
assistance from other people. Southey
agreed that his "Madoc" was "the
best English poem since Paradise
Lost" There was no need to tell
him SO; he knew it already.-New
Statesman, London.

It Is Hard to Be Accurate.

Can you exactly describe what you
see? If you can, you are cleverer
than most persons. A book recently
published in Paris relates that at a
meeting of scientific men two Of them
suddenly began to quarrel. Under
pretense of obtaining legal evidence
the president Of the meeting asked
everyone present to write an exact
report of what had happened. The
quarrel was pure piece of acting
arranged to test the powers OF OBJ
servation of the men present.
Though the assembly was composed
entirely of jurists, psychologists and
doctors, only one report contained
less than 20 per cent of error; Ii re-
ports had more than 80 per cent
wrong; and in "a reports from 10 to
Is per cent of the details were wholly
imaginary. When men of science can
so err we can understand how easily
the ordinary man can go astray. The
story shows why lawyers value cir
cumstantial evidence so highly

NO WILD MEN THERE
Captain Hancock Found Only Shy
indians on Tiburon.
Civilization Just Where 1t Stood 100
Years Ago on Coast of South
ern California.

San Diego, Cal.-The island of IL
mia, is not infested by cannibals Of the
Ceres tribe of Indians, but, on the con-
trary, is inhabited by Indians of very
shy nature, who dwell in small grass
huts on the northern end of the island.
Capt. George Allan Hancock of Los
Angeles, master Of the yacht Velero,
just returned from 3,OOO-mile cruise
down the coast Of Lower California and
up the gulf to Santa Rosalia, thus dis
sipates the belief that man-eating In
dams wait on Tiburon for luckfess adj
venturers or gshipwrecked parties.
Speaking of his trip, Captain Han
cock said:
"We cruised along the coast Of Low
er California to the charming little
city Of La Paz and then around and in
side the gulf for 400 miles. We were
all curious to stop at the much-talked-
of island Of Tiburon, on which cannibal
Indians were believed to dwell. But
although we went on the island armed

natives, not one showed up to greet or
eat us. Though we saw traces of their
habitation, crude little grass huts and
other primitive evidence of their occu-
patton of the, country, we failed to
make the acquaintance Of any of the
Tiburon people,"
Captain Hancock described the
pearl fishing at La Paz. Only print
tive methods are used. he said. and the
gems are sold to foreign dealers.
While at La Paz, the party was
greeted by a. party Of Mexican officials
who were there to confer with some
regarding the starting OF
an American colony at Magdalena Bay,
the largest settlement within 800 miles
south of San Diego.
The attitude Of residents of sections
visited by the party is to welcome
American capital and American brains
in the development of their country.
Years Of revolution, said the captain.
have left their mark on Guayamas.
Here, he said, the people have been set
hack to primitive methods.

Newspaper advertising of 160 years

of today, but the differnce In sub

In the columns Of the New York Mer-
curry of that period one finds the fol-
lowing articles offered for sale and
ext0lled for their particular qualities:
"Godfrey's General Cordial" which
was the opiated soothing syrup used
in that day for peevish. teething
babies; the "Princely Beautifying Lo-

"made up" for the street; "TurlingA

must have been disappointing since all
the users are now dead; 'Dr. Ryan's

stood behind every public bar up to
about so years ago. Long after its
use had been abandoned it persisted
until standing like Stoughton bot
