STATE PRESS COMMENT
ON WOODROW WILSON

Helena Record-Herald = Yet let
not the mistakes of Wilson dim the
purity of his motives, or the lofti-
ness of his ideals, or the energy with
which he strove to rebuild the war
shattered world and make it forever
war proof. His career as the na-
TONS president during the war per-
iod was in itself a grand epic recited
with Homeric power. The American
people will never cease to appreciate
the federal reserve banking system
and other practical benefits that ac-
crued to the country from his do
nestle policies. But above and be-
yond all that, they will see much in
his career which savors of the mag
NATIVE, which excites the fancy,
which has in it something of chivalry
and Posterity may picture
him as a heroic LEGENDARY knight, a
champion, a crusader whose ardor
for his standards no tempest of OPP
position could quench, and whose ex-
ploits, though barren of immediate
attainment of political and spiritual
ideals unfaltering and sublime.
Havre Promoter - To what por-
ton Woodrow Wilson contributed to
the advancement of peace, to the
progress of the world, in his age, it
is impossible to measure. His work
must be compared with the work of
ages by those who view with the un-
prejudiced eyes of posterity. The
good that men do lives after them.
Through eyes that gaze from beyond
the tomb the time is at hand to pay
tribute to Woodrow Wilson, the man.
The nation mourns a great leader.
Lewistown Democrat-News- That
Woodrow Wilson was an instrument
used, at times, for tragic purposes,
in some divine scheme, rising super
lor to the worldly knowledge but
caught up by the faith Of men, of
Him who commands the lightning
and the rolls of thunder clouds
across the heavens, all believers may
well hold true. All that remains of
mortal being is laid away But the
record of his deed, the inspiration of
his ~utterances, the recollection of his
courageous devotion to duty, to
country and to mankind will remain
the priceless heritage of billions yet
unborn.
The Missoulian-Not since Abra-
ham Lincoln has there been an
American whose name has reached
so many corners of the earth or one
whose passing will move the hearts
of so many men and women A
great American has gone from us
but he has left behind a name and
example that will endure while the
republic lives.
Butte Post - Among Woodrow
Wilson's countrymen there is no lack
of cordial recognition of his intellect
his exalted motives, his consistent
patriotism, his quality in statecraft,
his personal worth. When physical
failure overlook him, the manifesto
tions of regret and of sincere sympa-
thy we're impressive. They proved
to be a national assertion Of esteem,
and during the years of his distress
ing invalid experience the sentiment
of respect and regard has been I'M
failing. By many tests, because of
the factors of the period, he was a
world figure in larger measure than
had been any of his presidential
predecessors, and the memory Of the
distinctive service he rendered will
endure.
Bozeman C~hronicle-Woodrow Will
son gave his life for an ideal and, in
passing on, left behind him a rich
heritage for his country and the
world. The ideal Of world peace
for which he stood did NOT die with
