THE HEART OF VIII SON

Woodrow Wilson, the wounded
soldier who fell in the line of DUTY
and service as the war president
who sought to make the victory of
the battlefield an unbreakable
bond of everlasting peace be-
tween the nations of the world. has
issued the first published expires
sion as to world affairs since the
illness which began four years ago
removed him from active life.
In a magazine article just APP
pearlng," says The Atlanta Con-
stitution, he breathes that deep
spiritual conviction that has been
the inspiration Of his marvellous
life, and he unhesitatingly de-
clares that our civilization can
not survive materially unless it
be redeemed spiritually-a chal-
lenge to every one who fears
God and loves country.
In gentleness, and with the
fine spirit of Christian idealism.
he points to the necessity to
| greater cooperation on the part
of capitalists with the other ele-
ments that enter into our ma
tlonal and international life. 1t
opens a new vision to the heart
Of this great man, for in the
turmoil of political battles in
which the prejudices of expedi-
ency and the passions of ignor-
ance played their destructive
games, the world was asked to
believe Wilson the friend of
special interests and the abettor
Of international alliances to
further capitalistic ends. Those
who knew him resented such un-
just and warranted indictments,
but in the unrest Of a war and
postwar period prejudice
necessarily had the advantage of
truth"

A POSSIBILITY
OF WAR.

The possibility of a war which
might involve even the United
States" exists in the present I'M
settled condition of the world, Sec
rotary of War Weeks declares in
a letter to the American Peace
Award, created by Edward Box.
In the letter secretary expressed
the hope that the award committee
would be able to present a plan for
cooperation promoting world
peace. SHe pointed out that the
War Department was urging suf-
ficient preparedness for defense.
Former Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy Franklin d. Roosevelt
wrote that it was sadly easy" to
talk about cooperation in promot-
ing peace and that the United
States must keep first with other
nations to eliminate the things
which disturb peace.
The plan to be accepted finally,
he thought. must have sufficient
machinery to handle all interna-
tional disputes. A Systematic
course Of treatment, extending
through the years and aided by the
combined efforts of all nations"
he added, would prove the only
remedy for the sickness of the
world"

BEHIND THE MASK

You can't always tell by their faces
How people are feeling within,
For pain doesn't always leave traces,
Nor joy always show in grin.
You find that each life has its leaven
Of things that go i'll or go well -.
We each have our own little heaven,
We each have our own little hell.
If every man told you his story,
His innermost secrets and hopes,
His moments of uttermost glory,
The depths in which he blindly gropes
You'd find, were he seventy-seven
Or still in youths glamorous spell,
He lives in his own little heaven,
He writhes in his own little hell.
1t may be that sometime hereafter >
DEN come toTa final reward,
A hades of fortunes abhorred;
But anyhow, life has its leaven
A paradise thrilling with laughter,
Of SORROWS and biisses as we'll;
We each have our own little heaven,
We each have our own little hell.

E DI T O RIAL
COMMENT
THE JUDICIARY AND POLITICS

THE JUDICIARY AND POLITICS
The bill to remove the Judiciary
from politics by having them ap.
pointed instead of elected, is re.
ceiving practically unanimous sup
port from the press of the state.
The Valdosta Times says editorial
ly:
Let's tell our representatives
to pass the bill of Representative
Fowler of Bib county-let's
keep after them till we get this
one through. The judiciary
should be saved from d corrupt
political contest-from constant
corrupt political scrambles. This
is a branch of the public service
that can best be retained in good
form when removed farthest
from politics.
Commenting on the above, the
Cordele Dispatch declares:
The present method of electing
judges in Georgia ought to be
changed. A judge ought not to
feel himself obliged to any man,
or faction for his election to Of
flee. He ought not to be forced
to set his sails to favorable
winds, though when men are
elected by the people they ma
turally feel obligated to the fac
ton which elects them, no mat
ter how much they may try to
get away from it.
The Savannah Morning News
says the movement progresses,
that it has passed the period of
argument, and continues:
Everybody, even those who
for cause oppose the plans sug-
ested for removing the judges
from the hold of political in
fluences, admit that the system
of popular election of judges is
all wrong. The judges may be
absolutely without blame-even
though they are human and
finite--and still for their very
own sakes, there is sufficient
good reason to change the meth
cd of selecting them that they
may never be embarrassed. A
legislator has suggested a meas
ure which has been long discuss
some other judges of the Su-
ed-selection of the circuit and
preme court appointment then
by the governor Of those so nom
mated and the appointment then
confirmed by the state Senate.
But Of all the judges the Su-
preme and Appellate Court judy
es are the ones to be removed
and kept out of the political
realms. The law will have to be
changed for some method of Sc
lection Of these highest court
judges-or the other part of the
law will not be Of full effect.
Above all the courts of final
appeal should be beyond the
reach of politics. Get the whole
judicial system from top to bot
tom out politics as nearly as may
be.

should say so outright. If we do,
our policy in these islands should
be specifically directed to bring
ing that prospect to realization.
For it is obvious that the prac-
tice of giving at least partial en-
couragement to ambitions which
We have recently done nothing to
forward is a contributing factor
in present unrest.

LEONARD WOOD AND
THE PHILIPPINE ROW.

Very little is yet known of the
causes back of the organized eff
fort to have General Leonard
Wood removed as encouragement
Of the Philippines.
Many of the papers of the
country are urging President Hard
ign to Shack General Wood in the
Philippine row, but the president
IS moving slowly and with indecis-
ion, says the Selma Journal, and
continues:
Meanwhile, this country has
the spectacle OF the Democratic
party in the Philippines stand
ing squareIy back OF the General,
who has however, refrained from
offering cabinet positions to
statesmen of that party. The
situation appears to be growing
more acute and further from
control by the American Cover
nor-General. Additional resig-
nations have been handed in by
six appointiye Representatives
and Senators, which means they
have joined the conspirators in
the undertaking to GUST General
Wood and make the United
States Government seem small
in the eyes of the Filipinos.
"Of the specific causes which
have led to the present organized
protests against the Wood adj
ministraton little is as vet
known. The reinstatement by
General Wood of a secret serv--

but officially indicated, of
charges of bribery is not suffi-
cient explanation Without more
information, which it will be the
duty of the War Department
eventually to supply, it is impos-
sible to draw conclusions as to
whether or not present unrest
in the islands has any sound and
justifiable basis.
But what is already plain is
that the present policy of giving
the Philippines half-promises of
independence and then deferring
fulfillment of these promises in
administration is not working out
satisfactorily. If we do not pro.
pose to grant the desired self
determination, our Government

'kEYPORT OPERA
GREAT FEATURE
"Toy Shop" Given by Chill
dren of st. Mary'S EpisCo.
pal Church

KEYPoRT, April 26:-A most
successful operetta was presented in
the nigh school auditorium pm Tues
day night under the direction of Mrs.
Philip Smith, wife of the rector of
st. Mary's Episcopal church. The
operetta presented was THE Toy
Shop" and depicted the scenes in a
toy shop when all the dolls were
given life by a kind fairy for n
short hour. All sorts of pranks were
played, solos rendered and many
beautiful dances staged. The entire
east of characters included sixty-two.
Beautiful scenic effects were pro-
duced and every part was we'll play
ed. Harry Johnston played the part
OF Daddy Tackhammer, the proprie-
tor of the shop who after his days
work went TO sleep and dreamed that
all his dolls came to life.
The tumble down letter blocks
spelled out an old and we'll known
proverb while the dancing dolls and
boogie boo chorus were all that
could be desired. The building of a
human taxicab was also an interest
ing effect and the principals enacted
their parts with great skill.
Little Blanca Schneider, the niece
of Mrs. Smith, did several dainty
dances, as did Miss Catherine Bou-
ton, who played the part of the fairy.
Miss Emily Britton as Gretchen and
Miss Eta Britton as Miss Up-to-date
with Morris Britton a S Captain Fritz
and little Emily Weber the toy shop
per played the principal roles.
The Armstrong twins. Doris and
Dorothy, enacted the parts of paper
dolls and danced gracefully. An at
tractive setting was Miss Laura Post
as a bisque dolls head. The dancing
girls and Japanese girls, the Misses

Man Can Add Years to
Life by Careful Living

Lima, O.-By careful living the nor
NAL man can add at least ten years to
his life, DR.. Charles Mayo, famous
surgeon Of Rochester, Mimi. declared
in an address here recently to physi-
clans, surgeons and dentists from all
parts of northwestern Ohio who came
here to attend a clinic as guests Of
the Allen County Academy Of Medi-
cine. The way to attain the extra
years, Doctor Mayo said, is to be ex-
amined at least once a year by com
petent physician and follow his ad
vice.
He declared that physical ex-
animation of most men would disclose
within a year or two just when they
will die and what will cause their
deaths, provided they do not change
their habits or meet with accident.
Doctor Mayo was the chief clinician
at a goiter clinic and the guest of
honor and principal speaker at din
ner given by the medical society.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1923-12-27

Those who care and those who don't.
In fact. those who don't may wonder
what good there can be in staying out
of bed so late, unless other matters
besides arbitrary time have our inter-
est-just to say good-by to the old
year and some kind of welcome to the
new. To such it makes no difference
that poets have marked the time in
well remembered verse. Such, OF
course, when perchance they may be
awake at the special pointed moment
which separates the years, do not ca
gerly turn to the familiar verse:
Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky.
The flying cloud, the frosty light,
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
This we say because there are two
types of people both having virtues of
their kind-and one needs not to
Judge the other-and to one there is
no special appeal in what moves the
other in the spell Of the passing year.
People of the other class welcome the
words which emphasize the moments
grouped about the nick of time which
points the passing year, and recall
again and again with each recurring
opportunity, some impressive word
picture, as
iris midnight's holy hour and silence
now
Is brooding like a gentle spirit DER
The still and pulseless world.
Stirred by these words written the
better part of century ago, one sees
the white landscape held in the Wig
orous embrace of winter and is not
slow to find a "holy hour" in the vigil
of the new year.
The Nineteenth century was not
complete of course, until 1t had
The Monmouth inquirer., 1923-12-27

ilege of the New Year vigil one could
not well make confident assertion.
It came to notice recently that Haw-
thorne, as recorded in the Memories
by his daughter, Rose Hawthorne La
throp, was impressed by the choice mo-
ments Of the passing r-and, poet
soul that he had, though not given to
making verse, yielded a very sensitive
response to the midnight appeal For
she says 'My father used to
treat the Old and the New
Year with the deepest respect. I
never knew the moments to be so inn
mense as when, with plying gentle
ness, we silently attended the old year
across the ghostly threshold of mid
night, and my father at last rose rev.
erentIy from his chair to open the win
dow, through which, at that breath,
the first peals would float with new
promise and remembering toll"
Apart from the more somber and
sentimental individual considerations,
we know that in the newspaper treat
ment of the time, the past year will
be summed up in various ways, in gen.
eral or In detail, the indications for
the year to come will be set forth with
such wisdom as the writer may com
mand and each one in his way come
into some touch with wiser regard
for the past and the future. Yea, from
myriads will come response to Tenny-
sons words of long ago:
