Woodrow Wilson.

Under the auspices Of the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation, the seventy-seventh
birthday anniversary Of the World War
President will be celebrated in Wash
ington tonight at a banquet graced by
the presence of President Roosevelt,
VINO will deliver the only address OF
thu evening As the first Democratic
occupant of the White House since
II. wilson left it twelve years ago,
6 Assistant Secretary of the Navy IN
h administration, and as one of the
fC-nderS of the association organized
t. pcrpetuate his r2me and fame, Mr..
Eccsevelt'S participation in the day
commemorative festivities is altogether
fitting rs spokesman of the whole
American people, he is sure to pay
suitable tribute to the man who served
as Chief Magistrate of the Republic
for two notable terms. including the
days that tried the Nations soul in
1917 and 1918.
Undoubtedly the stature Of Woodrow
Wilson grows as his era recedes into
the dim vista Of the past. Perhaps
the program he personified, in our in
ternational relations, is still too vivid
in the memory of the living American
generation to permit the opposition
and the rancors it aroused to be OBJ
liberated from mems minds. But even
inveterate foes of Mr.. Wilson's post
war policies are coming more and more
ungrudgingly to concede the idealism,
impractical as it seemed to his con-
temporaries, and the eminen: intel
lectual qualities of the architect in
chief of the League of Nations.
American opinion is, if anything,
more opposed in 1888 than it proved
itself to be in the great and solemn
referendum" of the 1920 presidential
campaign. to the covenant of Versailles,
and to the idea of this country's adhe-
sion to it. Certainly the international
history written In Geneva's name during
the year Just ending has not been of a
nature to generate American enthusiasm
for the great Wilsonian ideal incarnated
by the League of Nations. Across its
successive efforts to preserve the peace
of the world to impose respect for
treaties, to restrain aggression, to pro-
mote disarmament and to bring order
out of economic chaos the ingloricus
legend of failure" is writ in large and
cleaning letters.
1t is manifestly unfair to mar the
memory Of Woodrow Wilson by holding
him posthumously responsible for the
demonstrated futility Of the organism
which he sincerely, even if mistakenly,
envisioned as the omnipotent and in
Vncble arbiter of mankind's political
destinies. Whether or not Americans
of today acknowledge themselves as
worshipers at his shrine, few of them
are unwilling to recognize woodrow
wilson's claim to high rank in the
company of patriots, scholars and
statesmen who have adorned the presi-
Dental Office.
Democrats bracket the name OF Will
son with those Of Jefferson Jackson
and Cleveland among the innortals of
their party. They do so with a pride
that is justified by his achievements m
the country'S service and which is deS-
tined to swell with the fight of the
years.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Happy New Year, Professor!
Remember each professor
In your happy New Year list.
He isn't a transgressor,
He's a gentle theorist
Who seeks for solution
OF problem ages old
And must mind his elocution
Even when the crowd is cold.
We gaze on them with wonder
AS professors still appear
You cannot plow them under.
They're more numerous each year.
Their conflicts ere unending
In the realms of higher thought
When their labors they are lending
That so often lead to naught.

North China Herald, Shanghai-The
callous and murderous attack on loyal
Chinese employe of the Shanghai
Power Co. draws attention to the Sc
rious potentialities in the present dis
pute between the company and about
1000 of its workers.
The term dispute" is hardly appro-
pirate, for never. since the beginning
of the strike three weeks ago. has there
been the slightest formulation of de-
mands or grievances. The men have
been virtually forced out on strike by
little group of radicals who desire to
disorganize the institution on which the
whole industrial life of Shanghai so
greatly depends. Thereby It is hoped
eventually to put the whole community
at the mercy of a caucus of agitators
who are battening for the moment on
the contributions of the workers and
who seek to acquire the right to dc
tate to Shanghai with the blind au-
thority vested in them by their prole-
tariat dupes.
Obviously those responsible for the
ordered life Of Shanghai will not al
low such crazy plans to emerge beyond
the chrysalis stage.

III HERALDO. Barranquilla.-The
Senate continued today the de-
bate between supporters of the
- Gaia Agraria" (Agrarian Cred

Il II I1CSfthLLSO, Ilc
u Senate continued today the de-
bate between supporters of the
IL Gaia Agraria" (Agrarian Cred
its), and those in favor of the
"Banco Agricola" agricultural Bank.
To us laymen, the distinction between
these two institutions sees principally
one in name only. The two terms are
really synonymous in SO far as the in
tended relief to the planters is con-
cerned. The farmer cares little whether
funds and assistance rendered him are
denominated "agrarian" or 'agricul-
tural." so long as he obtains the where
withal to prosecute his laborS, and
maintain his existence in constantly
more deprecated market.
We understand that there is some
difference in the quality Of posses
sion as regards all cultivated lands;
that those who actually hold title to
the properties they are developing are
entitled to more relief than those who
merely operate as factors or tenants
Nevertheless. the rains and the droughtS
affect all of these alike. and 1t would
require more acumen than the portion
discriminate as to the major require
ments in relief of either class.
Perhaps the best solution would be
to ratify both measures of control and
betterment, applying to each contin-
gency the system most appropriate Tor
it One rather squivocal reinsurance
was Illuminated in the course Of the
discussion. Senator Andrade pointed
out that the Colombian coffee crop had
retained its fine position as to superior
ity and abundance. The demand for
Colombian coffees was as great as ever,
despite the fact that throughout the
world the consumption of most other
eatables and drinkables had vastly
diminished. Whatever solace might
have been contained in these reflections
was, however, considerably nullif1ed by
the cynical observations Of Senator Auli.
If the yield were greater in merit and
extent, it was several times as large as
it needed to be-. judging from the op-
portunities to dispose of it. Colombian
coffee is unable to compete with the
better grades of Brazilian coffee, and
in the latter republic the industry has
been developed upon scale easily able
to supply the needs of all the coffee
drinkers in the world. In fact, more
than 25,000,000 sacks in recent years
have been used as fuel or dumped be-
cause Of the safety in foreign markets.
