WOODROW WILSON

WOODROW
 Woodrow Wilson, 27th man to be president of these United States is dead and buried
 Stop every organized labor man. stop every labor man; stop every man, and child in this great country and give thought to who he was, what he did, what he tried to do and what he suffered in his eorts
 Woodrow Wilson may be dead but his ideals shall go forever and may eventually gain the universal peace for which he gave his life Americas and the Worlds greatest soldier behind yet at the head of nes entombed Wednesday private citizen with out the pomp that has marked the burial of past pres dents of this great country TT WAS HIS WISH, not the nations that had to the turng point of be- hevng that he right and ready to stand by him. Too bad he could not have lived little longer and his vision realized at least in part.
 Maigned by the then great Senator Poindexter of Washington as "a menace to the country" because he was friend of Organized Labor, Woodrow Wilson cast off the thus heaped upon him and went his way doing his good for mankind Under him labor, not only organized but every part of labor benefited far ashe could go the rewards for their labor Capital did not suffer- except it's greed and his mastery institu ton of the Federal banks which has since been thorn in the side of greedy capital and is wabbng under the attacks of high finance, provided to the small business man, the and those others who need capital at less than 20 per cent way of getting it without recourse to Wall street.
 Volumes could be written about that Woodrow Wilson accomplished. To the thinking worker there not only What he did for me- but how the other fellow made out. While Wilson at the helm under conditions the country high. Wages were high, prices high, food high but not but the prices made according to the limit the could pay The went beyond the pockets of the ordinary worker Wilson, drought the railroads raised wages and the corresponding wage went through all industry enabling the working to live. He did and survived the war; although all these high wages the Wilson antagonists prate about, promptly taken away from the Farmer by the special interests who controlled the market.
 It's nothing but irony now to see those fellows like Lodge, Daugherty and the like who maligned Wilson, when broken in the interest of humanity he could not answer, climbing the bandwagon this week and givin hgm praise "Praise?" It insult to his memory. Just imagine the Lodge getting up irl the Senate he hid and telling the world Wilson great and believed himself right. Brandegee of Connecticut, another ardent Wilson opponent, must haveelt himself fortunate that he wasn't picked upon to make the eulogy.
 But the senate made act of contridition, which many great statesman will believe act of sacri lege, when it appointed Lodge to head the delegation from the senate to represent at the funeral of the for president. Woodrow Wilson in his coffin must have sighed if he coud to the hypocrtcal Lodge escort ing him in honor to the grave he helped to dig for him. Ceasars famous remark to Brute "Et tn, Brute must have been surpassed could Wilson have spoken
 Woodrow Wilson lies within the confines of the District of Columiba Washington the only pres dent of the country buried within those confines. His body may be entombed under the great pillars of stone that mark the cathedral there but his spirit still watching the capital and the nation (and from there the world) and will day lead the hordes of discord and political into the paths of universal peace for which Woodrow Wilson gave his life. Then per- haps he and his sprt will rest in the everlasting peace which he sought for all humanity and for which he gave his life.
 Let Labor bow in tribute to a great man and a Good Friend.
