Franklin D.

During his lifetime since, it has b2en the habit of men of a certain political bias to speak of the greal i fessor Wilson.” But this retirir contained scholar called from univer: to be Ahc Chief Executive of his Sta th vation secured as a peace President the enactment of a program of progressive leg- islation quite without precedent; as a war President he entered the great world con- with the people behind him and led flict them to a victory in which his writings read behind the e¢nemy lines played a great part; and after the war he was the chief cham- pion of the cause of a peace of moderation and understanding. That he did not achieve such a ace in all respects was due to causes which should by now be generally understood. He was ahead of his time; a leader and not a follower of public opinion. From his grave he is still a leader of ad- vanced political thought. For the spirit of Woodrow Wilson still iives. It lives in the spirit of Locarno and It lives in the League of Nations, the foundation of which will ever be associated with his name. This organization of half a hundred nations, in- cluding all the' greater nations of the Old World except Turkey and Soviet Russia, has already to its credit a long list of inter- national disputes settled without resort to the arbitament of arms. It is the longest step ever taken toward the phrliament of and in every day of its beneficent xistence it has testified to the wisdom and foresight of its chief founder. Some day the United States may be ready to correct the tragic blunder of its refusal to follow its President into the League. It fell to Woodrow Wilson's lot to put into words that will live the common aspira- tion of hundreds of millions of people in all lands to the end of wars. Such words are facts as stubborn as boundaries and tariffs and armaments. They will not let themselves be forgotten. Wherever men plan further approach to a state of safe ace between nations they think in Wilson They hold up as the goal of their desire open covenants of peace: freedom of navigation; the removal of economic bar- riers; respect for the rights of minorities and of the people of lands in the tutelage stage of colonization; the territorial inte by of great and small States alike; the general association of nations. As the | jealousies and political plot- s darkened his time and confused recede into the past the name of Presid Wilson shines with heightened lJuster. The men wnd fought his valiant work may be mercifully forgotten.

We must cut the cost of Government, for in that way lies the only avenue of relief at present. I am not an alarmist, but we must ad- | mit that none of us knows whether or not the roof of protection over our heads. The protection . of life, 'property and health are the fundamental duties of our Government. All else is superfluous. We must hold to these fundamentals and turn | our back upon these other intriguing things, if we are to hold what we have and build | solidly for the future. Portland is fortunate to have elected a Mayor Ready-Made Economies. (New York Times.) Mr. Hoover plans to make a saving of $700,000,- I000 in Government expenditure—for Governor Roose- velt's first year. Spare the rod and spoil the Presi- dent-Elect is apparently a motto to which Mr. | Hoover does not subscribe. 1f in order to make the| !Roosevelt Administration a success it is necessary for Mr. Hoover to play the Roman father, he is pre- pared to go the limit. Alfred E.

Mr. Hoover ldoes Governor Roosevelt a- very real service in | taking upon himself the odium of unavoidable budget reductions. It is obviously easier for a President |to stand by a salary cut already in effect than| |to put one through on his own account.

Most of us know very little about the that lies a few thousand miles beyond our own doorsteps. The automobile has given most of us an opportunity to learn about our nearby States, and about Canada. Some day it may be possible for the ordinary citizen to travel abroad, to visit the faraway corners of the world and the strange, to us, peoples who inhabit them, international understanding and good will must be the inevitable result. Wars will be fewer. For example: A short time ago a Los Angeles |film company was taking pictures in the far Arccic‘; Films of the Olympic Games were taken along and shown to the Eskimos. Were the Eskimos pleased? They were not. They accused the film company |of bunking them, for, said the dark men of the Northland, it is silly to suppose that men could | go running around in traek suits. They'd freeze ito death quickly. The Eskimo will have to see for| | himself, or he will not believe. In this he is much| {like the rest of us. | | Lost a Billion. | (Prince Rupert Empire.) | Colonel G. C.

It is not as if this country, on the Pacific {and Atlantic, is not without harbors, or that facili- |ties are lacking. | Think of what a billion dollars could do, ex- \pended on this side of the line. Canada must be |a remarkable country, when she can lose that much land still continue reasonably prosperous. | Lame Duck, Lame Duck, {ly away. home, or flop in the Capitol and ropst in the dome.

Perhaps I wasn't a good wife to vou, but I am to Clive. Not so good as he deserves; so I intend to be better.” “You were a good wife to me, Santa.” She glanced sharply across her shoulder; then went back to her brushing. In the iirror she stared into his reflected eyes. For the moment at least he had ceased to be trivial. “If you can own that now, why did you lie to me last night?” “Seeing you happy without me.” “Made you long to make me unhappy—is that it? You suc- ceeded. But why did you first pretend to be generous? To have come to Clive’s rescue, had that really been your motive, would have been magnificent. I see now that it's not in your nature to be magnificent.” “You don't give me credit for much—you never did, Santa. I tried to help Clive that I might square accounts with you. You divorced me without claiming ali- mony."” She caught her breath in a ner- vous laugh. “A fat lot of good it would have done to claim alimony.
