Wilson's Birthplace.

Woodrow Wilson may have had
faults: he certainly had bitter enemies,
but the passing years are doing his
memory no harm. He grows in stature
with time: an increasing number of
his countrymen now appreciate the
ideals for which he fought, perhaps too
soon. If he failed on occasion, so did
a vast company Of his contemporaries.
Those who defeated him were themselves
defeated. For the historian, one ire
mendously important fact emerges from
the turmoil in which both he and the
leaders of his opposition were involved
namely, that the vision of progressive,
humane and peaceful civilization which
he formulated for America was and
still is inspiring.
Anything, then. that helps to pre-
serve the character of the wartime
President as a living force may be re-
garded as worth while. The old manse at
Staunton in which he was born merits
maintenance as the house first asso-
ciated with Mr.. Wilson's career. He
remained within its shelter but briefly,
left its walls in his infancy, yet 1t was,
incontrovertibly, his earliest home.
Plans designed by foundation headed
by Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife OF the Secre-
tary Of State, are intended to make it
a shrine. The whole Nation should in
dorse the project and contribute toward
its fulfilment as gesture Of gratitude
tardy, it may be. but profoundly sincere.

1853 and 1899.

The New York Herald Tribune has
printed series Of pictures intended to
demonstrate the progress of civilization
from the Worlds Fair of 1853 to the
Worlds Fair of 1899, and it has achieved
Its purpose notably enough. A million
and q quarter people, travelling to the
Crystal Palace at Fifth avenue and
Forty-second street in horse cars, were
thrilled to see such marvels as cast-iron
statuary, hand-painted phaetons, a
telegraph instrument designed to be
played like a piano and Bigg's sensa-
tional sheep-dipping apparatus in oper-
alton. The great grandchildren Of
these visitors will be excited In similar
manner next year when they journey to

spheric aviation, cosmic photography,

ing and sculpture. Eight and a half
decades have been fruitful Of changes
miraculous in character.
But the sponsors Of the 1899 exhibi-
ton, like the promoters of the 1858
show. are not unmindful of the fact that
their enterprise is dated to a single
moment Of human experience. They
realize that the prodigies of the present
are as ephemeral as those of the past
Indeed, their objective is that of stimu-
lating the pace Of progress. The Worlds

had recourse to the same expedient in
1888 and 1884. Brussels in 1885, Paris
in 1887. In each instance some profit
accrued to the community.
Yet 1t may be wondered if natural
growth is greatly advantaged by spas
modic effort. One school of thought has
faith in hothouse cultivation, another is
skeptical of the efficiency of even the
most distinctively scientific forcing"
All Americans agree in the wish that
the New York exposition may justify
the investment of money and labor in
volved, but they understand that the
differences between 1883 and 1899 are
the harvest of day-to-day routine, a
gradual expansion of human control
over circumstance, not showmanship
and ballyhoo deliberately planned to
attract gaping multitude.

Believes Spy Revelations
Should BE Published.

10 tne &olt0f OF Inc 9tafs
TN COMMENCING you for your efforts
to get the spy revelation stories
before the public let me express my re-
sentiment that they were, in fact, sur
pressed.
AS a member of society, whose blood
and treasure will be poured out in the
next war as in the last, feel that: it is
our right to know the facts.
We are an enlightened people, sup
posedly born equal, and no useful pur-
pose is served in Withholding from us
details Of an attack upon our very exist
ence.
Almost in the same breath in which
the President condemned the publica-
ton Of those facts. he expressed the need
Of the Army and Navy for funds to
fight espionage.
How inconsistent Let the people be
apprized Of the grave danger and ample
funds will be supplied quickly.

President Should Support
His Own Supporters.
To the Editor of The Star:
TT IS indeed time that the President Of
the United States made a clear-cut
statement Of where he stands regarding
the election of members of the Congress-
He is head Of a great political party.
Some in this party have political beliefs
diametrically opposed to his. Those
whose beliefs coincide with his in any
political party should come together in
one force under his leadership. Those
opposed should line up together on the
other side Of the fence. Thus we would
know where we stand. Unhappily,
human nature is not so simple. To vote
today for a Democrat or q Republican
means nothing. Let them be honest
with themselves and their constituents.
A candidate is either liberal or he is not.
President Roosevelt has embarked upon
a liberal policy of government.
He depends upon an elected Congress
to carry out his avowed plans. His office
is itself elective. Why, then, should he
not come out flat-footed for those candi-
dates who are Of liberal mind and why
should he not use his influence to bar
those whose die-hard attitude is so
opposed to his?
The overwhelming majorities by which
he was twice elected certainly point to
the fact that his policy is the policy the
country wants.
Let him draw the line, and more power
to him! G. j. COOK.

The other two measures, colncld-
ing with senate provisions for
creation of an auditor generals
office for post-auditing eXpendi-

The pendinc house bill would
retain the comntroller generals

functions to the new auditor gen

The other would give the pres

WASHINGTON, Mar. 80 (UP).
President Roosevelt mas tentative
ly agreed to continue operation
of 800 Civilian Conservation
Corps camps which were doomed
to fall under the federal economy
axe by July /, end of the present
fiscal year, it was learned last
night.
The disclosure came when a spe-
cial house appropriations subcom-
mittee met secretly to consider a
resolution by Representative
Woodrum, D., Va, appropriating
S5O,OOO,0OO for retention of the
camps, after Woodrum obtained
Mr.. Roosevelt's informal ap-
proval.
The Virginia said he discussed
the matter with the chief execu-
tive before he went to Warm
Springs, Ga, and again Tuesday
by long distance. In each instance,
he said, Mr.. Roosevelt favored re-
tention. chiefly because the camps
will help to stave off effect of the
business recession.
Mr.. Roosevelt ordered the
camps discontinued as step to-
ward bringing the budget into
balance. Under the program,
which both house and senate re-
luctantly approved, the CCC out
Law for the 1889 fiscal year was
trimmed to 1925, 1871 900, cut OF
Sl23,669,0O0 belo wthe current
appropriation.
The appropriation is an item in
the Independent offices bill now
in conference between the two
chambers. Unless Woodrum's
measure is adopted it means that
800 of the 1900 CCC camps will
be eliminated. Each camp accom-
modates about 200 men.

remainder in Latin America. Of
these unfavorable responses are
expected from italy and Russia
