Mr.. LANSING SHOWING
cLovEN FOOT

Mr.. Robert Lansing. former secre-
tary of state, who disregarded the
by going on the peace COM
held at Versailles knowing all
the while that he was in absolute dis
agreement with his chief, is writing a
series of articles for the Saturday
Evening Post fiattering Mr.. Wilson
here and there in some minor particu-
lars in order to conceal his venom
so as to more successfully guillotine
him in all matters of graver import.
If Mr.. Lansing is to be believed Mr..
Wilson imagined himself to be SO
popular that the Allied Powers would
not dare oppose his ideas as to the
terms Of peace, yet in the next breath
we are told that he had no ideas, no
definite outline of anything that bore
the slightest resemblance to treaty
of peace.
We are led to believe that he was
unable to draw peace treaty himself
and refused to permit lawyer to do
| ii. fer him, presumably Mr.. Lansing.
So disregarding these necessary
steps of preparedness Mr.. Wilson was
unable to seize the opportunity to
capitalize his popularity and was lief,
at the mercy of the British and French
wh0 proved THEMSELVES the superior
diplomats.
Poor mani
His lack of purpose and definiteness
demonstrated his inherent weakness
and impaired his capacity to negotiate
so intricate and delicate a problem.
Alas, alack!
Mr.. Lansing is pleased to say thai
Mr.. Wilson constituted himself al
exclusive repository of all information
of all opinions and speculations.
Pulled up. so to speak, with his owT
importance!
We are led to believe, in fact We
are told, that all through the deliber
atoms Mr.. Wilson remained solitar,
and secluded figure.
i Just as might have been expected
Mr.. Lansing says that NJ Clemenceau
4 and in lesser degree, Mr.. Lloyd
George, took the initiative and the
United States was forced to the posi-
ton of following instead of leading II
drafting the terms Of peace in thi:
\ great world movement
j We are gravely told that Mr. Wilson
preferred to deal in generalities rather
than with stubborn facts.
Who believes all this stuff.
For ourselves we conclude that Mr.
Lansing seeing that Colonel George
Harvey, the harsh and inveteratt
critic of Mr.. Wilson, is slated fol
ambassador to the court of st. James
that following in his footsteps SINH
lar plum might fall his way.

along he sought the best material to

WOODROW WILSON

Eight years ago with firm step and
a challenging manner Woodrow Will
son assumed the chief executiveship
of this nation, a physical and mental
giant, at the age of SO years. Friday.
March 4, 1921, he turned back his
stewardship to the people. broken in
body and mind.
The press dispatch stories of the
part he played in the Inaugural cere-
monies called it drama. 1t was a
tragedy.
King Lear never more mistakenly
trusted his own daughter. than did
Woodrow Wilson misplace confidence
in the American people whom he
loved, and for whom he gave ali. his
riches O. mind, and health, and effort
The daughters of Lear never more
cruelty thrust their royal father ou.
into the storm approaching age and
the frost of undutiful filial conduct
than did the American people thrust
out the man who raised their country
to the proud apex of national unselfish-
ness, and confidently rested himself
upon the expected gratitude of his
beneficiaries
"As he descended from the white
house porch to enter the waiting auto
mobile, secret service men placed his
feet on each descending step; when
he left the car to enter the capitol he
was practically lifted up short flight
of steps by an attendant" And this
is the man who three years ago, held
the attention of the world: this the
man whose physical resistance enabl-
ed him to give hour after hour, for
days and weeks and months and years,
to the most strenuous demands on his
physical being, while his mind trium-
pied over even the thought of fatigue.
Drama? No! Tragedy? Yes!
Republics have no gratitude: Said
bitter faster of their ingratitude;
and bitterly has Woodrow Wilson
proved its truth The rabble first
shouted 'Hosannah to our king!" and
then it shouted Cruelty Him.
But, as in the case of King Lear,
there was left loving daughter to

body with sweet smelling spices, and
gave it reverence: and as there is for
both, the imperishable record, read by
ever growing throngs, to give honor,
and credit, and praise, so the historian
of the future will write the name of
Woodrow Wilson in letters imper-
ishable. Nations vet unborn will look
