He is no longer a contemporary political issue. Henceforth, men will survey his works with eyes clear of partisan bias. He passes from the scene, and there must come to all his countrymen a sense of having witnessed a great tragedy—a haunting sadness as after an evening at a play with a mournful ending. & The men of Woodrow Wilson’s time may never agree over the right or wrong of his policies. It is well that no accusation of partisanship now can rest against fair-minded Americans who, as he recedes into the perspective of history, ac- cord to Wilson, the man, his due need of credit, while history weighs Wilson, the president. Never has there come out of the presidency a figure so pathetic and appealing to the pity of all men. ‘Those who have seen him recently speak of the sense of shock they felt when they came into his presence and saw an “old, old man, his face drawn and haggard, hig eyes dull, his voice low and weak.” Sitting thus in his wheel chair, he awaits the hour when he shall be mustered out of service. In the meantime, a truce on hates and prejudices! It is a time for sympathy, generosity, under- standing and justice. Let the great American heart open up once more to embrace not—if you will so-have it—Woodrow Wilson, but the presi- dent of thexWnited States. What say you, fellow countrymen? | A day at the polls hasn’t spoiled women for housework, TRAIN YOUR EYES What is the design of your bath room wall- paper? Quickly now, how many steps to your attic and how many to your cellar? Can you tell the number of prongs on your table forks? Most folks wander through life quite blind. They see the unusual things and the so-called interesting things, but never at all the things | that surround, them day after day. But evenjthe unusual most folks see with only half their eyes., You and your friend witness an | automobile accident from exactly the same: view- point. At dinner table you try to reconstruct the scene for the rest of the family. You will differ upon a dozen points and some of them es- sential. Neither of you really saw the accident. You only saw a little of it. It all comes from a misunderstanding of the facts of the case. You say to yourself: “I was there! Of course I saw it! I have eyes, haven’t I” But it doesn’t follow that because you were there and have eyes that you saw, anymore than it follows that because you have a violin you can play it. \ You would expect to play a musical instru- ment only when your brain and fingers had been trained to its ways. Yet folks take it for granted that’ the far more difficult accomplishment of seeing all and seeing accurately is a heaven-given talent. Train yourself at, this business of seeing. Play the instrument of your eyesight as carefully as you would an instrument for the delight of the musical center of your brain. Even an optimist finds a worm in a chestnut occasionally. WONDERFUL BOYS The boy who became a student at Columbia University at the age of 12 has distinguished historic company, consisting of a long line of wonderful boys who became renowned men. - Victor Hugo, the’ Frenchman and William Cul- len Bryant, the American poet, wrote gocd verse when they were 10. James Finnimore Cooper, author of the Leather Stocking Tales, entered Yale at 18, while Thomas Babbington Macaulay, British writer and states- |] man, read and translated Greek when he was only 5, an age at which everyday children’ go to kindergarten. Youthful genius generally has made gocd in later life, except in instances in which gerfuis has been shadowed by physical or mental infirmities. Thomas Chatterton, the wonder-child of eight- teenth century. England, ‘died at. 18, a suicide, leaving’ behind a. collection. of unpublished poems of matchless power. and. beauty, However; few. of the men. whose achievements have’ moved worlds were remarkable boys. |} Thomas Edison. was an ordinary boy in whom no one detected signs of genius. The early ener- gies of Abraham Lincoln were devoted altogether to conquering a wretched environment. General Grant was described as “slow” at school and was not much of a success until after 30. John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim’s Progress, was a dull boy and his father always worried what was te become of him. “Willy,” says ma to her offspring, pointing to the picture of the bright New York boy, who has just entered Columbia, “just look at this boy. | He’s only 12 and he has already entered college. And here are you scarcely able to get along with your work in your grade!” However, it should be consoling to Willy’s ma to know that the world’s greatest successes have ‘been the ordinary boys, like Willy, and not the prodigies. ® CONTEMPT OF COURTS When H. F. Graham, former governor of Ver- mont, was sentenced in the Supreme Court of that state after having been convicted of embezzling state funds, he appealed to Governor Clement for an unconditional pardon. ‘ And the very day the embezzler was sentenced xy the highest court in the state he was given his unconditional pardon! That is how the chief executive of an Ameri- :an commonwealth holds the highest court of his state in contempt. If that isn’t real contempt of :ourts, what is? Sentenced to prison for five years; pardoned immediately by the governor, before one foot had been set within penitentiary bounds—can you wonder that other convicted criminalszof Vér- mont may entertain a decided, feeling of con- tempt for the courts? If non-criminal citizens of that state escpae that feeling. in respect to their courts, it can only be because they have too great a contempt for the governor. ENOUGH TO ELECT Debs vote in North Dakota will probably ex- ceed 4,000 or equal the majority which Frazier won over the Independents. Enough said. Governor Smith of New York made a presi- dential possibility of himself. Plenty of people will tell’ you they prefer! chicken to turkey—but it’s the bunk. The country’s tallest man is dead at Texarkana, which means the mediums will have to enlarge their cabinets if they expect to talk to him. EDITORIAL REVIEW - Comments repgoduced in this column may or may not express the opinion\of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may ~have both sides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day. THE.SOLEMN REFERENDUM The verdict as to the Wilson Covenant is final. Even the President, who sought two years ago the advice and consent of his fellow countrymen, and when it had been rendered refused to accept it and treated it as non-existent, can scacely dare to refuse to recognize the meaning of this tre- mendous vote against him and his. destructive policy. i Only thirty-one days ago he was saying: “This election is to be a genuine national referendum The determination of a great policy upon which the influence and authority of the United States in the world must depend is. not to be left to groups of politicians of either party, but is to be { { referred to the people themselves for a sovereign | mandate to their representatives. They are to instruct their Government what they want done. *** The whole world will wait for your verdict in November, as it would wait for an intimation of what its future is to be.» And whether the President accepts the verdict of the great and solemn referendum he has in- vited: or once more attempts to ignore it, the event, will be substantially the same/ for how- ever, the verdict may affect his repute and his place in history the mandate that accompanies it is directed to his successor. His successor will obey the mandate, of th people. : _ Thank Heaven and the clear headed American voter, fan and women, that we-can record the passing of the nightmare of Wilsonism. Beyond precedent or parallel in American history is this’ prodigious demonstration of sane political senti- ment and healthy political purpose, repudiating him and his party and hs self-determined theories of world entanglement and Executive domination at-home. Thus begiris the new day with its new issues, its new responsibilities and its now prob- lems.—New York Herald. i i} i { | we FER THANKSEIVIN TyurKty IN AMERICA!

Representatives of North Dakota ask that the minimum requirement for a carload on flour, on which the carload rate is given, be reduced to 36,009 pounds for the ‘Northwest.
