A Republican Tribute
to Woodrow Wilson

William Allen White, noted Repub-
lican editor of the Emporia (Kan.J
Gazette pays the following tribute to
Woodrow Wilson:
There can be no doubt that the
verdict OF history on President Wilson
will affirm his greatness. In great
moments of crisis during the last eight
years President Wilson has risen 20
real heights and has done worthy and
memorable things. His name will stand
in history either as the sponsor of a
great hope or the recorder of a high
tide in human effairs from which i'm
potent humanity has receded.
He first of all world statesmen at
the end Of CHASTITY world catastrophe,
tried TO make settlement based upon
justice, not on force, upon what should
be rather than what could be. Either
the League of Nations will rise during
this century and work for peace on
earth and good will among men, or II
will fail, and in its failure Will herald
In such an epoch OF horror that hu-
mainly In its decay will look back to
the glorious dream which this man
dreamed as the beginning of the wreck
of nations and crash of civilization
In either event Wilson's name is
safe He aspired greatly; he strove
with what strength he had, and with
what weapons God gave him. He lost
his powers were not sufficient for his
task. His hand was not as strong as
his heart He called the spirits from
the Vastly deep; but, alas, they did not
come. His loss is mankind's loss. But
even If he lost, he lost, but losing, won
He is aot the first Moses left in the
wilderness. even though he stood by
the burning bush; nor the first Isaiah
to preach righteousness vainIy to a
wicked, and perverse, generation"
A man Of the Presidents own party,
an idolatrous follower, could have been
no more magnanimous than this author
and journalist who writes with an in
innate knowledge Of his subject

Deer in North Carolina

Honors of deer hunt in the North
Carolina mountains where a party of
tiuntingtonians spent ten days dur
ing the Christmas season, were carried
Off by Miss Ruth Hagan, 17-year- old
daughter of E. Hugh Hagan. Miss
Hagan bagged the only deer of the
hunt. The headquarters were brought

night and there was venison for din
ner at the Hagan home yesterday and
also at the home of c. F. Millender,
COL Tenth avenue.
The hunting party was composed of
Mr.. Millender, his daughters. Helen
and Louise and his sons, Alfred and
Joe. The hunt was conducted on Mr..
Millender's estate in North Carolina.
A number Of deer were started but
Miss Hagan was the only one lucky
enough to get in telling shot. She
saw the animal, a doe, as it was MAX
ing through swamp. She had to run
about q hundred yards to get TO a
point where she COULD shoot effectively.
She used a double barrel gun, carry
ing buckshot The first barrel drop
ped the doe, but, taking no chances.
she fired again.
An interesting circumstance in re-
gard to the kill was that a veteran
deer hunter was concealed nearby and
had decided to shoot when the deer
came two jumps closer. He was greatly
surprised. he told Mr.. Millender when
Miss Hagan's shot dropped the game.
He had no idea of the presence of any
one else on the edge of the marsh.
The head and hide of the doe have
been sent to a taxidermist, the former
for mounting and the latter for tan
ming. .. ". .,..- =. "
The Huntington party spent a few
days on the coast duck shooting, and
Miss Hagen, who had quite reputa-
ton for Workmanship also bagged
much of the game there.-Huntingto

clared yesterday in the United States
District Court that, with the permis-
sion Of Judge julius NJ. Mayer, he in
tended to bring suit against the city

T. surface lines. He said that he al
ready had drafted bill of complaint

loycd by the half dozen money losing

cruing on their ''lonc haul" service
which in the one month OF November
last aggregated $1,000.
II was developed also that tho Nassau

three Of It's safety cars. for the construc-

Income Tax Exemption
Opposed by Harding

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA
President-elect Harding to-
day informed Representative
Longworth of Ohio that he did
not believe he should be exempt
from paying an income tax on
his Presidential salary. Mr..
Harding wrote to Representative
Longwortk in reply to recent
letter seeking his opinion as to
what action the House Ways and
Means Committee, of which the
Ohio Representative is a member,
should take on a bill recently in
troduced to exempt the President
from the income tax levy. Under
the present revenue law the tax
on the Presidents salary amounts
to $4,000.
President Wilson, however,
was exempt from paying the tax
under a decision of the United
States Supreme Court holding
that since the Chief Executive
and Federal judges assumed of
ice prior to the enactment of the
present revenue law they were
not subject to the tax.
