THE WOMEN IN POLITICS

The innumerable state, local and
ational politics campaigns this year
will be marked by the entrance, and
participation of the women in sig
nal way The swomen have had the
vote four of five years but they
have not been brought in contact
with political affairs as an impress
sive factor as they give promise Of
being enlisted this year. The women
will take a hand and play a part
in the campaign, in the primaries
and in the conventions this year on
IA notable scale and assurance is
given in advance that they will ac-
quit themselves crediably and hon
orably in these new fields. The
manner in which the outstanding
women of Montgomery, Selma and
other places have enlisted in the
fight to pile up the Underwood ms
jority in the state is d tribute to
their judgment and their loyalty and
will vindicate the wisdom, although
| 1t does not touch the justice of THEN
enfranchiscment. Their right and
title to the ballot was a funda-
mental and inalienable as that OF
men and just as consistent with the
ideals Of our democratic institutions.

You just dampen a sponge or soft

MR.. WILSON'S DEATH

The death of former President
Woodrow Wilson removes from the
spheres of action a man who will
leave a name and influence second
to no man who has lived in the paa
century. He may not rank among
the great warriors of the world, or
among the scientists, or even among
the diplomats. but history will re-
cord him as having done a mighty
work to promote peace throughout
the world-to get rid of war and
to bring about a better understand
ing among the nations. He has had
the greatest vision of that "far eff
idivine event toward which the whole

IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED
EX-PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON

Gone art thou from this world of strife
Oh how we thy sudden flight;
Gone to broad and higher life,
Gone as the shadow of the night.
Though thou hast gone and left US here, ID
Thy spirit with still remains
We feel thy. presence near,
To guide us to better things
And in thy stead, no claim
"A greater love than thou hast known;
For now thy hallowed name
Is reverenced in the humblest home.
Sleep on, oh greatest of the great
Sleep beneath the Towering sod;
We know. within, the golden gate,
Thy soul hath found place with God.

The Blunderer
Blunders

The German government
that master egotist and blunder-
er, again blunders.
While all other nations are
honoring the memory of Wood
row Wilson, by display Of
mourning and with flags at halt
mast, the German embassy at
Washington RETAINED from taxi
ing any notice of the passing OF
the great American statesman
To Woodrow Wilson. more
than any other American, the
German nation is indebted. But
for Wilson, the Allied armies
would have marched into Ber-
lin, rather than lay down its
arms on that memorable day of
November IL, 1918.
MIR. Wilson's humanitarian
heart caused him to counsel his
colleagues in war to stop at the
French borders. Foch and 9TH
ers demanded that the victori-
GUS armies march to the north
ward, until Berlin had been
reached.
During the peace conferences.
MIR. Wilson used his influence
in holding France back. Foch
was demanding that the French
armies go to and hold the
Rhine as natural barrier
against future depredations of
the Hun.
America can and will get on
without Germany or anything
that is German, but the Hun
nish people NEED our friend
ship, our good wishes and our
aid. as no other nation on earth
needs the help of another.
Y And yet the German gov
eminent refuses to honor the
memory of the man who was
their most generous enemy in
time of war and their best
friend after the armistice.
Press dispatches Tuesday
stated that no flag had been
flown over, the German embas-
sy at Washington at any time
SINCE the death of Mr.. Wilson.
although other embassies and
legations have had the colors
at half mast since official mott
fication reached them before
noon Sunday.
Baron Leopold Plessen,
third secretary of the embassy,
made this explanation: The
German government considers
the late MIR. Wilson a private
citizen, and therefore has in.
structed the embassy to refrain
from any official display of
mourning"
This action of the German
government will not tend to
tighten her burdens or gain for
her the respect or sympathy OF
America or other world nations.
