To the Award of Nobel Prize
Founded on Christmas eve, 1920, by
a small coterie of patriotic and peace
loving women, the Woodrow Wilson
foundation movement has developed
nationwide in its scope, and with
national organization created with
some of the most prominent men and
women of the country enlisted in the
effort to establish Americas own
Nobel prize, the free will offering
campaign starting Monday, January
10, is expected to find contributors in
the highways and byways of the ma
tion.
In recognition of the national and
international services of Woodrow
Wilson, the organization devoting its
efforts toward paying suitable trib-
ute to one of the worlds greatest
figures, has selected Franklin ID.
Roosevelt as the founder of the award,
and under whose direction the free
will offering movement will be con-
Quoted for the coming week.
The Marion county organization,
headed by John H. Taylor as chair
man, and VIM. T. Gary as treasurer,
will endeavor to bring to the atten-
ton of every man, woman and child
in the county the fact that Woodrow
Wilson's efforts and accomplishments
/ should mot go unrewarded and In
| speaking of the movement Mr.. Taylor
| declares that chose of us who have
| loved and still love Woodrow Wilson,
and those of US who, even although
we may not like the man, cannot but
realize his greatness and usefulness
and foresight, have now an opportu-
nifty to express in small way, this
appreciation by contributing, fnan-
cially, toward the awarding of a
Nobel prize.
"The materialized idea of a Nobel
prize has been developed far beyond
the thought of tribute to the former
+ president. 1t is to be that of course,
out chiefly it is to perpetuate his
ideals of democracy and human free
dom, and in such form as to be both
an inspiration and reward to other
men whose ambition it is to enable
the world to live more amply, with
greater vision and a finer spirit of
hope and achievement
"In fact, the award and foundation
is to be created in recognition of the
national and international services of
Woodrow Wilson, twice president OF
the United States, who furthered the
cause of human freedom and was in
strumental in pointing out effective
methods for the cooperation of liberal
forces of mankind throughout the
world.
''The award or awards from the in
come of the foundation will be made
from time to time by nationally con
stituted committee to the Individual
or group that has rendered within a
specified period, meritorious service te
democracy, public welfare, liberia
thought or peace through justice. II
fact, America is going to have hel
own Nobel prize"
Further commenting upon the fre'
will offering movement for the Wood
row Wilson foundation starting mex
, week, Mr. Taylor declared that ther'
l would be no drive for money. No per
? son would be asked or urged to con
) tribute one cent. There will be M
= solicitation for funds, but every per
. son will be given the opportunity T.
5 contribute as much as they desire
e whether it be five cents or a create

from the country at large and tn
Y goal set is one million dollars, o
q which total sum Marion county an
