audience responds to his picture
thrown on the screen. No popular
hero gets a greater ovation. We
doubt if Woodrow Wilson ever
lost the confidence and affection
Of the majority of the voters of
this republic, but if he did he has
surely come back.
And that public esteem and on
fidnce will grow in the future. The
views of the ex-president in the
next campaign will no doubt carry
a good deal of weight, if he chooses
to make them public. But it is
folly to expect him to take any &C
tive part in the next campaign.
Those who love him best and adj
mire him most would be the first
to protest against any such course.
The work Of Woodrow Wilson is
done. The future we are sure will
vindicate the truth and greatness
of his ideals and policies. Already
history has indicated some Of
them. The necessity Of a League
Of Nations to keep the peace OF
the world is becoming more appar-
ent every day. The withdrawal OF
Japan from Shantung shows that
President Wilson was right when
he said we could safely trust Japan
to redeem her pledges of honor to
carry out that course. He was
greatly ridiculed by his enemies
for his trust in Japanese honor.
Certainly they must now admit
that he was right and that they
were wrong.
That Woodrow Wilson has SO
far come back to normal health as
to again take a lively interest in
national politics is good news. TO
expect him to take active part in
future campaigns as a speaker or a
candidate is folly. The sugges-
ton does not come from his
friends but from his hate inspired
enemies.

BOSTON BAN
QUIET ACCIDENT

MO DOUBT our readers remem-
lS Der the excitement produced
last when the Massachu-
sets prohibition commissioner
raided a banquet given by the gov
ernor of the state to republican
politicians called together to de-
wise ways and means of re-electing
Henry Cabot Lodge to the senate.
The republican politicians lost
their booze at the Quincy house
banquet, the too Jealous prohibit
ton enforcement officer lost his
job, and Henry Cabot Lodge nearly
lost his senatorial togo over that
incident. But they have just had
another banquet scandal in Boston.
This time it was at another leading
hotel in the Hub of the universe,
and infant nursing bottles hid the
illicit beverage. Let the Spring
field Republican tell the story:
"The serving Of rye whisky, con-
cealed in camouflaged eight-ounce
nursing bottles, to the thousand
guests at the annual dinner of the
New England Road Builders asso-
citation at Hotel Somerset, Boston,
Thursday evening, was a dirty trick
played on the hotel management by
some one presumably representing
the association. Such is the view
apparently taken of the incident by
the Somerset's manager. He knew
nothing about the nursing bottle
episode until the mischief had been
done and the Boston morning
newspapers had told the story.
The case shows what a be done
with whisky under the very nose
of a hotel manager these days in
Massachusetts,. 4

ly! The nursing bottles were
packed in pretty little boxes and
placed at each plate. Guests had
to open theft packages and pull off
the rubber nipples and smell the
contents before the secret was out.
According to the Boston Herald:
Somebody waved aloft II OF
the feeding bottles" and
shouted ooh boy!' and at one
or two tables there was a wild
scramble. In the excitement
which followed some of the
guests requisitioned, not only
their own bottles, but the bot
ties Of unsuspecting neighbors
and in less time than it takes
to tell, nearly every souvenir"
had been cornered and sam
pied.
"The Quincy house affair of last
winter is now overshadowed and
the Somerset carries off the hon.
ors. The unsuspecting manage
ment is to be extended polite con-
dolences, for it feels SO badly.
This stunt at the Somerset was
pulled off as easily as taking cam
dy from a child.
"Yet what was done was a crime.
Let the serious side of it be con-
sidered. The character and stand
ing of the persons who attended
the banquet cannot be ignored.
They were business and profession
al men who are under obligations
as citizens to set an example OF
decency and respect for law to all
classes in the community. They are
probably men who bitterly resent
attractions Of the law by strikers
in labor wars; they denounce the
reds for trying to undermine the
constitution and overthrow Amer
lean institutions. What fools they
are not to condemn wanton law
breaking in any form, even when
it is in the form of entertainment
for themseIves!"

THE T
CASE.
THE TRIBUNE is in receipt of

THE TRIBUNE is in receipt of
L several local communications
on the Fatty" Arbuckle case that
now repose in the waste basket.
MI. Arbuckle gave a "booze party"
at a San Francisco hotel and a mo-
ton picture actress who had con-
sumed a good deal Of booze died a
short time later in a San Francisco
hospital. A jury which listened
to all the evidence in the cas- and
which included three or four wom-
en- of good reputation among its
members found a verdict which
specifically declared that there was
not a particle of evidence produced
which indicated that Mr.. Arbuckle
was in any way responsible for her
death or even responsible for her
presence at his party" That por-
ton of a very nasty case being dis
posed of by the jury, there remains
the fact that Mr.. Arbuckle was
guilty Of transporting liquor un-
lawfully and giving it away to his
guests unlawfully. For that of
tense he was convicted and paid a
fine. We wonder how many other
persons in the United States have
been guilty of the same offense,
and not been even arrested for it.
It is asserted that Arbuckle led a
fast life at other times. No doubt
that is true also. He says himself
that it is true, and that he has
learned his lesson and has reform
ed. His wife has forgiven him for
such ~offenses, and is r%econciled to
him. She was far more sinned
against than the sanity women he
v knew, and who are shocked
at the idea Of even looking at a
picture in which he had any part
If we had an X-ray photograph OF
all the sins of all the people who
had anything to do with the max
ing of these films, not excepting
those which are shown in churches
and have the Endorsement OF the
clergy, we are of the opinion that
there would be very few films
shown anywhere if the logic of the
directors to Fatty" Arbuckle
films were carried out. In any
event it seems to us that the very
good good people who object to
Arbuckle getting any chance to
come back and practice his profess
sion can afford to be as charitable
as the mans wife is and forget any
offense against the moral code OF
which he may have been guilty, Sc
long as his work is clean and un.
Objectionable as everyone admits
that it is. This cry of Cruelty
him! Cruelty him!" gets no en-
core from US.

THE COMEBACK OF WILSON

NEARLY all the newspaper men
~ in Washington who represent
the leading metropolitan newspa-
pers of the United States have been
writing their papers to the effect
that Ex-President Woodrow Will
son is taking a new and lively in
terest in national politics, and in
tends to take a part in the next
presidential election. A few even
go to the length of saying that he
would like to be himself a candi-
date before the next national dem
o~cratic convention. That sort of
comment comes generally from
newspapers which are very hostile
to Mr.. Wilson, and have pursued
him Indignantly for many years.
Even if the third term objection
did not exist, the state of health
of the ex-president would not per-
nit any friend of his to hope or
expect that he will ever again be a
candidate for any public office.
But his friends-and their num-
bers are legion-are cheered by
these reports about Woodrow Will
son coming from the gossip at the
national capital because they lndl-
cate that he is recovering some de-
gree of health again. From the ma
ture of his malady we know that
he can never be a well mai again,
and that undue excitement or nerv-
Gus strain of any kind is liable to
produce a second stroke of his dis
ease which would probably be ia
tai. Yet it is surely good news
that the ex-president is again TAX
ing a lively interest in politics.
During the last campaign he wrote
a few personal letters in reply to
inquiries from personal friends in
which he expressed political opin-
ions regarding the issues of the
campaign. Some of these were
made public, either with or without
his consent-presumably with his
consent. However, if they were
made public without his consent he
would probably never say so. 1t
is one Of the singularities of Mr..
Wilson's character that he never
wastes any time explaining himself
or making reply to slanderous or
false statements. He invariably
ignores personal assaults. No pub
lie man within our recollection
was so indifferent to what people
said about him. To circumstances
| from his friends on this score, he
often replied that he was not SO
much interested in what the present
generation said about him as he
was in what the historians of the
future would say about him. In
that respect we think he can rest
with The tempest of
violent criticism and misrepre-
sentation which never ceased for a
moment even when he was stretch
ed on a bed of sickness fighting a
hard fight with the angel of death,
has passed over his head and left
him unframed in the popular esti-
nation Of a FAST majority of his
countrymen. If any ma doubts it
let him ask the movie picture show
managers who have reason to note
the enthusiastic way tbs average

Board of Commerce and Nav
igation to Take Up Case of
Shore Towns

TRENTON. May 27.-Local plans
for preventing Goa erosion at Long
port. Long Branch. Asbury Park
end Belmar. will likely be finally
approved, or changes suggested. at
the next meeting OF the Board OF
Commerce and Navigation on June
~. The plans were submitted to the
S ecial advisory board which is to
direct the comprehensive survey on
coast protection methods, at its or
ganization meeting here yesterday.
ard B. +. Cresson, Jr.. consulting
engineer OF the navigation board,
said that the plans would be sub
mitted TO the whole board at the
next meeting.
The state has appropriated $780,
600 for the Longport coast defense,
and $4,000 each for the other re-
sorts, the amount in each case TO be
matched BY the municipality. This
money becomes available July first.
and 1t 10 understood that coast de-
fense works at these points, where
the need Is urgent, will not be held
up until the completion of the rem
eral survey. for which there is spe-
cial $4,000 appropriation, is COM
pleted.
On the latter proposition, that OF
making the general survey OF the
problem as IL effects the whole New
Jersey coast, the advisory board yes
terday decided upon its general plan
of action, and started the wheels
moving for the collection of all pos
sible data and information that can
be Of service in solving the problem.
The advisory board. which consists
lof navigation board members and
l~oficials, and Commander r. s. Pat
ton, Of the u. s. Coast and Geodetic
Survey. also includes u~nofficially
Colonel Earl L. Brown and Colonel
e. Eveleth Winslow. Of the u. S. A.
engineer corps. who have promised
their aid.
1t was decided to have Col. Patton
prepare q completion Of all official
coastal maps since 1910, showing the
changes in the coast line of New
Jersey and Southern Long Island
since that date. Searches of b
records in the engineer corps Offices
In New York. Philadelphia, WILL
mington and Washington, are also 10
be made in the effort to get data.
Later on it is the plan TO have field
agents go down the coast and inter-
view local engineers, fishermen,
lighthouse keepers, etc.. and look
ovsr local records in an effort to get
detailed Information as 70 changes
in the coast which may help in
showing how to prevent them in
future. Statistics as to wind and
water currents are also to be OBJ
tanned.
