WILSON THOROUGHLY DIS
CREDIDTED.


CREDIDTED.
y No president of the United States
ever stood higher in the estimation O.
the average American citizen thar
Woodrow Wilson, during the world
war and when he was in France at.
tending the peace conference NC
American president ever left the
White House more thoroughly dis
credited than this same Woodrow
: Wilson, whose term ends March 4.
1t is almost pitiful to contemplate
= his loss of influence in this and other
countries. Two years ago Woodrow
Wilson was proclaimed one OF the
worlds greatest raen. Today he is so
thoroughly discredited that when he
vetoed a bill that probably should
have been vetoed, only one lone sena-
tor voted to sustain his veto. Even
those who opposed the passage OF the
bill before the veto, voted for its pas
sage over the veto of the president.
Yet, we believe that history will
record Woodrow Wilson as one of the
great men of America. Harding stat
I'D that Wilson has one of the bright
est minds ever known in the United
States and predicted that history will
show him to have been great man.
But his unyielding disposition; his
unshakable belief that he, alone is
right, and all who do not agree with
him must, of necessity, be wrong; bis
unwillingness to compromise or even
consult with those who do not agree
with him.. has ruined his influence as
president and created feeling among
men in high places in the American
government that eff Wilson is for it
we are agin It,"
Wilson made the mistake SO often
made by educators, who, during life
Of educational work, always teaching,
and talking to their IN
reriors, in education, come to look
lpon all people as their interiors and
IRE incapable of admitting to them
selves that, perhaps the other fellow
night be right. Too many Of them
re unwilling to admit there is any
,ther way than their way and are I'M
Ibie to agree with other people
Wilson's greatest fault is his m
jbility to understand any one but
imself or to realize that person
sight be different from him and yet
e right.
But there can be no denying that
is is one of the brightest minds the
'orld has ever known; that he is
ian of the highest ideals, and of the
aest education, even though he failed
} understand other men.
