AS the years roll on, winging their
swift flight into the vast past, the
fame of Woodrow Wilson, the great
est exponent Of Democracy the world
has known, who was almost crueified
by the jealous rage of the party that
represents the greed and avaricc of
the big interests, will grow more and
more resplendent.
Woodrow Wilson needs no praise
from our poor pen. He needs no
towering monument of marble or
bronze to perpetuate his memory. He
will be remepbered for his greatness
of mind and heart, while Henry Cabot
Lodge and his clique will be remem-
bered only because they exhibited the
cloven hoof and vast streaks of yell
low.
Nevertheless, it is right and fitting
that a Wilson Memorial be establish
ed by the people who love honor
above dishonor, who love intelligent
vision about party littleness, who
love inherent grandeur of soul above
petty politics. To this end, the Wood
row Wilson Foundation has been pro-
posed 1t is well under way, and in
all parts of the United States, ad-
mirers of our War President are MAX
ing contributions toward the million
dollar fund that is being raised. Mis-
sissippis share of the million dollars
is $4,000, which should be subscrib-
ed from sunrise to sunset of single
day.
At the request of Hon. Oscar New
ton, State Chairman of the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation, the Dispatch has
opened its columns for contributions
to this worthy cause.
At the same time we make an earn
est appeal to the loyal, true-blue
Democrats of Columbus and Lowndes |
county to give as literally as their
means will permit to this great move

principles advocated by the worlds
greatest exponent of democracy,
Woodrow Wilson.

II more to endow the Woodrow Will
