recorded time who had the undoubted
right to call His fellow men hypocrites.
He knew not only what His fellows
were saying and doing. but the motives
back of their words and conduct. Since
His time. I doubt that any one has had
the right definitely to label fellow a
hypocrite. l have always insisted that
criminal statutes should be SO framed
as to enable prosecutors and judges to
take cognizance Of the motive back Of
the crime, and I sometimes wonder
whether much Of the present disrespect
for law has not resulted from the
tendency Of legislative bodies to dis
regard motives In defining crime and
fixing It's penalties. I hold that a man
criminal intent Likewise. when 1t
comes to judging a man. we should
make sure before finding him guilty
Of hypocrisy that there was a hypo-
critical intent behind his seemingly hyp-
ocritical conduct.
1t is startling how many Christian
men and women are regarded as hypo-
critics by their fellows who are good
citizens. but not avowed Christians or
churchgoers. have talked to all grades
and conditions Of men about the life,
life-work and life-teachings Of the
Nazarene, and / have yet to find one
In criticism of Him. Belief Is universal
that He did establish His church on
earth. But when l ask a man why he

is better man than Smith or Jones or
Brown, who are church members and

derstand that Smith and Jones and
Brown are widely known hypocrites.
What another man may be is Of no
compelling force in my life.
Human nature Is a strange thing.
Men must see or touch or taste In
order to believe anything about the
eternal verities or to be induced to
to be the most important part of
civilization. In most affairs Of life
the expert has come into his own, but
not in religion. People still go to
the doctor. and seemingly have as
much confidence In him as ever. Their
faith in his ministrations has not
weakened. although he jumps from
teeth to tonsils and from tonsils to
thyroid glands as the universal seat
of disease. They consult him not
only when they are Ill, but when
they do not know that a single thing
Is wrong. They have themselves
looked over by the doctor. then by
the dentist. then by the oculist, and
finally by the throat and nose spe-
cialfst. They are unwilling to take
any chances on their physical con-
dition.

The Great Northwest.

Gov. Nestos Of North Dakota, ad.
dressing q meeting Of business men
in New York city last week, made a
spirited appeal for q better under
standing between the east and the
great northwest, including a special
plea for Justice Of eastern opinion Of
his own state. "A correct and appre-
ciative understanding Of its people is
alike the urgent need Of the east and
the just demand Of the region from
which come" he began.
Complaining that many leaders in
industry, finance and commerce seem
to have formed the opinion that the
farmers of Minnesota and the Dakotas
are socialists, bolshevists, communists
and red radicals politically, ignorant
barbarians socially, and on the way
to the poorhouse financially, he assert.
ed that this opinion is reflected in
much Of what is being said and print
ed in the metropolis.
He admitted 1t to be true that most
Of the self.constituted leaders Of re-.
cent political upheavals in the north.
west are socialists. bolshevists and
reds. but claimed that they do not
represent the real sentiment Of the
farmers Of the northwest. He con.
tended that these farmers are home.
owners, and do not believe in the doc.
trine and philosophy Of the socialist
party. They are not followers Of Lenin
and Trotsky, nor admirers Of the dis.
aster they have brought to Russia.
The farmers Of the northwest, he
contended. are progressive republicans
and democrats who are looking for a
square deal and who feel that only
too often has the course Of legislation
and the result Of administrative acts
been such as to accentuate certain
economic and geographical handicaps
already existing and to throw oh.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
The broadcasting Of Woodrow Will
sons Armistice day speech was un-
questionably the radio event OF the
year. but there Is no doubt that the
excitement and physical task of that
effort was a severe strain upon the
former Presidents heavily impaired
vitality. However. II was a great
feather in the cap Of radio that 1t
should obtain the first speech of any
length at all to be delivered by Mr..
Wilson since that memorable day at
Pueblo, Col, In 1919. when he pleaded
SO fervently for the league of ma
tions 1t also gave the radio fans
some tense moments after they had
tuned in and the air was cleared for
action.
In at least one instance this ten
sion was relieved by a very casual re-
mark Of a plain, everyday newspaper
man, a member of party gathered
at local telephone exchange to hear
the Wilson message over the loud
speaker. Through the big horn had
just come this announcement. in a
I'VE shall now hear a speech on
the significance Of Armistice day by
Woodrow Wilson. The next voice
you hear will be that of Mr.. Wilson"
There was a pause, and everybody
thought the instrument at the Wilson
home of S street was undergoing
some sort Of adjustment, and that in
moment or two the former Presi-
wnnld a
The pause dragged into a wait. Min
utes went by. The silRnce was ap-
palling. You could cut 1t with a
knife.
"Ah." said the newspaper man. this
Is an unexpected treat. It's Mr.. Cool
idge.''
In the merriment that followed this
drollery the first words of Mr.. Wilson
filtered through the ether.
\ y X
Many Of the radio fans who listened
in wonder why Mrs. Wilson's voice
was heard so frequently in the trans
mitter. While no detailed statement
has been made of the incidents at the
Wilson home that evening, it Is pos
sible TO explain Mrs. Wilson's part in
the event.
Mr.. Wilson'S eyes have been weak
ened by his long Illness. He does
very little reading. but Is read to a
great deal. He had prepared his
speech well in advance, and appar-
emily had memoriZed most of 1t. Mrs.
Wilson had copy in her hand. and it
was quickly apparent, even over the
radio, that she was acting as promp-
ter. Whenever the former President
would falter Mrs. Wilson's voice was
heard giving him. in theatrical par
lance. the proper cue. When the
speech was over Mr.. Wilson was
heard to say:
That's all. isn't it?"
Mr.. Wilson emphasized many Of his
points with flashes of his old-time
vigor, but there is no doubt his
broadcasting would have been much
more effective II his eyes had per-
