WOODROW WILSON

A little more than four years ago the whole nation went about its work slowly, anNiously. The hearts of mil lions of people in this country and in Europe held the great fear that the President Of the United States. Wood row Wilson, was dying. When at last news came from the White House that the crisis was passed, a great sigh of relief arose. A great man had been spared for further service to his eoun- fry, whether in official capacity or as private citizen.
 Since that day Woodrow Wilson has lived, silently, displaying the diglsty so fine in man who received abuse undeserycd. too great man to allow the petty and partisan whines of little men to cloud his idcalism or move him one hairs breadth from his stand in favor of the world brotherhood to bring which he practically gave his life.
 \ few days ago there came another pause, but influenced by opponents or the great idea conceived n wood- TOW Wilson's brain, tho anxiety Of men was less keen. For moment. perhaps, they stopped and remember ri the fine qualities Of the man--and then passed on to their duties.
 Now Woodrow Wilson is dead, hav- ing lived to sec only the growing ap- preciation of the necessity for the rrystalIizing of his great ideal into d world association that would bring about the peace for which he strove. NlIided and abused by not only those who opposed him personally, but also by those who are too small to unher- stand the grandeur Of his idea and the ineyitablnness Of its adoption. he is at rest. Men and women who believe that with the last breath Of fife there comes a vision of the future. an ale most supernatural understanding Of eternity, can not but feel that wood- row Wilson's last moments were frightened by the knowledge, then rc. veaied to him, that great universal brotherhood is coming to tho world. and that he was the leader who in- spired human understanding of its ne- cessity, it's beauty and its splendor.

HOMELESS CHILDREN

\ meeting will be held tonight
 which seems particularly significant in view of the thought we have been
 giving t1 the young graduates or our schools who have just completed their
 work in those schools, and also in the light of the consideration the city is giving to school matters. The meeting referred to will be that Of the commit fee interested in finding homes tn this city for children who have been cared for by the state. moi because those children hate done wrong in any way. but merely bcc1usc they have had the misfortune to Doe left without parents. alone to fight their way up through the pcrpleNitics of life. The state has taken good care Of these children iH it's institutions but the state. in the persons of those in au- thorIty over such institutions. recog- nizes that an institution IS not a true home; that no care in such place. no matter how sympathetic. may take the place of a real home into which the child would bring 90 new brightness. and fn which 'hr child would find the atmospBere of intimat" love.

! company show the commission, and
 the commission satisfy the people that such increase Is necessary to make the company able to do business at a profit.
 But beneath the immediate matter Of the proper steps to take at present one is conccrncd. What is to become Of the trolley company? Many widows and estates from the income of which oPphans are supported. are said to have investments in stocks of the cqm- pany. For this reason as well as for the sake of the state one would not like to see the company ruined. If the continual raising of rates. following lowering of them when the pressure gets too strong, ruin does stare the company in the face. Out in Akron Ohio. for instance, all trolley cars
 
 do so if it insists upon raising fares. The city is being served by more than 500 busscs and automobiles The per son who believes that the trolley car crude. difficult and expensive to oper- ate is going to remain the chief method of transportation, standing still, practically, in development while the automobile and the bus make great strides in the direction of inn proNement. is a person who sees but a short way into the future.
 In considering trolley fare increases the Connecticut company, as well as mayors and legal advisers, would do well to strive to keep their eyes open to what is coming in the future if costs of trolley operation keep jump ing.

rather than wait until an appeal is made to them. It is seemly, therefore, that the people of the city should know of the work of this committee seeking homes for the orphans. and should be encouraged to communicate with il, telling of their eagerness to give happiness to some orphaned child in return for the joy such child would bring to them.

FALLS EVASION

Three aspects of former Secretary of the Interior Falls position at the moment tend to add to the feeling of
 distrust of him that is universal. But the situation has a more far-reaching
 importance, even, than this. H would seem that he was, in fact, physically
 able to attend the hearing of the in
 yesNgating committee although his
 personal physicians. rather preiu-
 diced probably, reported that he was
 not fit. When he did appear he refus-
 ed to answer questions, passing such
 refusal on claim that the committee
 had no authority to question him
 and on the further ground that the answers he might give might tend
 to incriminate him, in view of the
 fact that court proceedings had been
 directed against him.
 Of course the committee will see to it that the authority is given it, with out question, by re-adoption of the resolution under which it is acting.
 Moreover Mr. Fall knows that his physical weakness will bring hut q temporary halt if any, in the proceed ings. It is quite clear, therefore, that in these two aspects Of the case the former United States official is merely playing for time,
 As to his third reason for refusing to answer any questions two reasons might influence him, one, and quite probably the true reason, that what he would be compelled to admit would, in fact, put him in n most unfavona- ble light in any court proceedings al- though testimony given before such committee may not be used in such l court proceedings unless they involve ] the commission Of perjury. Other ad- i missions can not be used against him i in criminal proceedings MT. Fall may | possibly feel certain loyalty to the man who, it is alleged. gave him sloO.0 on his own personal word, namely Doheny, If the validity Of the leases is attacked on the ground or fraud in their execution, or if the validity Of the leases is attempted to be sustained by Mir Doheny, Mr. Falls testimony would certainly open d path tor those fighting the validity of the eases, and thus Mir. Fall would be put ing in Mir. Dohcny's enemies hands weapons which they might not be able O obtain without such information in fall's possession.
 In any event and from every angle he attitude of the former secretary of he interior brings suspicion upon Ilmost every man in public life. Name hem, one by one, and no thinking ,crson would care to voice suspicion ,f any one Of them But speaking of hem generally. when administration .ction seems incxplicablc. many a nan along the street will shake his i, leaI and muttcr "Remcmber Fall"
 Greater far than the particular case f former Secretary Fall, in lasting is the intensifying of this mspicion Of the government and the 1en Of the administrator, caused by 1 he disclosures concerning one who nee occupied an honored position in he government

TUT'S CASKET IS
 EXPOSED TO VIEW
Final COntainer Reached After
 Many Shrines Are Opened

| By The Associated Press.
 Luxor, Egypt Feb. 4.--For tho
 first time in S,2oO years, the greai stone coffin of Tutankhamen stood
 forth today in all its majesty, shorr
 of it's protective nest of golder shrines
 The fourth casket proved. in
 Howard Carter's experienced hands, a less formidable problem than was first surmised, and few hours work yesterday sufficed to disengage the sarcophagus Then it was seen that the enthusiasm evoked by the glimpse obtained four weeks ago Of one end of the sarcophagus through the open doors Of the enclosing shrines, was justified.
 As massive in construction as if is chastely simple in design and as un- touched by the tooth of time as it is inyiolate from the hands or tomb robbers, this grandiose stone chest, gleaming ping beneath the glare of the electric lamps, must be acc claimed a unique specimen of the itinerary art of the eighteenth dynasty.
 The four crowned goddesses of death, who, in traditional posture, stand at the four corners Of the coffin with wings outspread to shield the dead monarch from the forces Of evil. are boldly and deeply incised-=fuil breasted, with slender arms and powerfully winged. each with one hand grasping the "ankh" or 'key Of life, which figures in the dead Pharaoh's name. The lid is mas sively sold and inscribed in bands with lines of hieroglyphics.
 The carcophabus is thought 10 be even larger than the massive coffin Of Haremheb in an adjoining tomb. which itself is fine speCimcp of eighteenth dynasty sculpture, rough ly six feet high, five broad and seven long.
 It was an emotional moment for the excavators when they first gazed upon this royal coffin, unseen by mortals since the undertakers Of ancient Thebes set about their long. difficult talk Of enclosing the sarcophagus in its four ornate. fiorid castings.
 For Mir Carter the occasion was particularly poignant, for in his long years of experience in excayating many important tombs it has never before been vouchsafcd him, nor in fact any rxcayator in the known records Of Egyptology, to gaze upon an Egyptian sarcophagus unscathed by pillagers or marauders.
 All the members Of the party now are anxiously looking forward 10 the solemn moment in the near future when the lid shall be raised and the Of TUtankbamen exposed to view
 Ii is understood the excatators have all the tnrkle for raising the id Of the Sarcophaeus ready to be erected and that a start will Dc made in fn- stalling it as soon as the sepuichral chamber is sufficiently cleared. It is probable that considerable manual la bor with hammer and chiyel will be necessary to loosen the lid. ns there ire usually tightly cemented.
 Discussions now are proceeding be- seen the Egyptian government and he excavators. it Is understood, rela- 1 i've to the date Of ceremonial of the l opening of the coffin. which is to be l attended by government officials.
 The high, cold winds of the last | ew days have abated and numerous l -isitors arrived in Luxor this morn | ng.
