IDEALISM TO TRIUMPH! YET, ADMIRERS SAY i{ouse, Roosevelt, Gary, Parker, Gerard, Redfield, Davis Among Many Eulogists.

He had con- vietions_and was willing to fight for them. Whether we agree with his ideas or not we must admit that he will g0 down in history as an out- standing President. To have been twice elected chief executive of the nation, to have been President during the greatest war in history, to have put through the selective service act and other e al legislation are outstanding and memorable features in a brilliant cgreer.” Representative Green of Massachu- s (republican): The death of ex-President Wilson arks the passing away of one of the active Presidents of the United States, who was twice honored by his fellow countrymen through his election and r tion to the highest office of the greatest country of the world. He retained the friendship of many wom- en and men throughout our broad do- main, notwithstanding the trials and disappointments _ which frequently fall to the lot of one who bears the burdens of that distinguished office for so long a period. All join in sym- pathy with his widow and family in the sudden affliction which closes his distinguished career.” Representative Winslow of Massachu- setts (republican; The death of ex-President Wilson has come, 1 am sure, as a matter of re- gret to the people of the country, who would rather that he had lived in good ; health and happiness for many years after the end of his presidential ad- ministration. “He was undoubtedly a man of great intellectuality and_tenacity of purpose, and never spared himself in respect of work, which, in his case, as in the case of others who have held the office of President, was far too great for his human endurance. His death, coming so shortly after that of another Presi- dent, is still further evidence of the fact’ that any one holding that high office relinquishes, by £o doing, a normal hold on life's tenure, and his sacrifice should be pppreciated accordingly. “Presiddnt _ Wilson contributed much to the history of the country and the world, and his name will un- doubtedly be connected with one of the most tremendous periods which has marked the movement of human uftairs.” l of Representative Gifford of Mass: chusetts (republican): 3 “Men of all Bhades of political opinion are profoundly affected. He is regarded as one of the casualties of the great war. His marvelous state papers insure for him preem. inent place in history.” Representative O'Connell of Rhode | Island (democrat): “A noble and jllustrious man ha {welfare of mankind. War and Vast Enlargement Of U. S. Power Under Wilson By the Associated Press. Here were the principal events during the Wilson administra- tions : The world war.

Passage of the Esch-Cummins transportation act and creation of Railroad Labor Board. Creation of Pacific battle fleet, with transfer to Pacific of bulk of naval forces. gone to his final reward. In the death of former President Wilson, the world has lost its foremost citizen and humanity its greatest friend. The services which he rendered to his own nation and the people of every other land will prove a lasting and enduring monument, and will rank him, when the story of his life is correctly appraised, as the great- est figure in all history. “The whole world mourns and unites in common_tribute to that great man, the nobility of whose life and the loftiness of whose motives and character provoke. the admira- tion and respect of all.” Representative Merrett icut (republican): “The whole country will be stirred by the death of President Wilson and ail will eympathize with his tremen- dous labors during the world war and subsequently at Paris, which, no doubt, overtaxed his strength so as to cause his death. He has thus in a very real sense given his life to his country. Every one will be filled_with admiration and sympathy for Mrs. Wilson, who filled so ad- mirably her high position when the wife of the President and who_has been so devoted in his illness. It is yet too early to appraise President Wilson's services to the country, be- cau: the controversies over the league of nations and the prejudices aroused by the conflict are vet too active for any judicial consideration of_his administration.” Representative Luce of Massachu- setts(republican) : “Mr. Wilson's official service will bulk so large in the publig mind that sight may be lost of his gchievements as a scholar. No man of his time has ex- erted greater influence in the field of political science. To his writings before he became President may be traced in large part the striking growth of that school of theorists and_critica which would exalt the executive at the ex- pense of the legislative branch of the government. Disagreeing as 1 do with almost every ome of his conclusions, profoundly convinced as I am that the American is superior to the British sys- tem of government, vet 1 would recog- nize the strength of his arguments, the skill with which he presented his case, the success he met in making converts. Transmuted into action by his multi- tude of disciples, his views have af- fected the public thought of this coun- try to a degree not yet realized, but that in time will be seen to have been of great consequence. Whether for good or for ill, he was a remarkable moider of belief.” of Con- Robert Lansing, Secretary of State in the Wilson cabinet: “No man of this generation has been inspired by higher ideals or labored more con- stantly or more earnestly for the One may have differed with him as to the practica- bility of his ideals. But no one could refuse tribute to the loftiness of his thought and purpose. He is entitled to be remembered as a great war President, who served faithfully, who achieved much, and who gave his life for a_cause which he conceived to be for the good of his fellow men.” T. W. Gregory, Attorney General in the Wilson cabinet: “He was as much a victim of the great war a: the unknown soldier who sleeps at | Arlington. Mr. Wilson was undoubt- edly the outstanding figure of the world war, to whom must be given chief credit for its sudden end. He has fought a good fight, he has kept the faith.” Cordell Hull, democratic national chairman: “Woodrow Wilson was one of the very few greatest President’s and statesmen in American history. The natlon and the world will look in vain for his equal as a statesman, philosopher and humanitarian. —His great service will forever stand out in history.” Samuel Gompers, president of the American_Federation of Labor: “At last Woodrow Wilson is at rest, laid low by the blow which made him the most _cruelly wounded soldier of the world war.” He was the true repre- sentative of the idealism upon which our republic was founded. We arc all just coming to understand his life and services, and the future will ac- cord to him his rightful place with Washington and Lincoln.” James A. McFarland, nationat com- mander, Disabled American Veterans: “His death inspires prayers for his eternal life from tens of thousands whose heads are ‘bloody, but un- bowed,’ in their struggle to overcome their honorable handicaps, encouraged by the example of his tenacious bat- tle against the disability with which he was stricken as a result of his ae- roic war leadership.” John T. Adams, republican national chairman: ~“The passing of a former President goes deep into the heart of an entire nation. Not long ago, all of us, with partisanship swept utterly aside, mourned together at the passing of a Chief Executive. And so it is now as death comes to another one who once was Chief Executive of all the American people during one of the most trying periods in_our history. All heads are bowed as Woodrow Wil- son joins the nation's lasting mem- ories.” A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney Gen- eral in the Wilson cabinet:. “Woodrow Wilson was the wisest statesman of his time. He accomplished more for the uplift of humanity than any other man of his generation. Time will jus- tify all his acts and reward his noble and unselfish effort—an effort which really cost him his life. Mr. Wilson was a charter member of George Washington Post, No. 1, of the American Legion of this city. Paul J. McGahan, department commander for the American Legion posts in the District of Columbia, speaking for the members of that organization, aid: “The world war has claimed an- other victim—it's outstanding figure. “Woodrow Wilson paid the supreme sacrifice as certainly as those of our comrades of the services, of which he was the commander-in-chief, who laid_down their lives in battle. “The members of the American Le- gion, whose leader and comrade he was in life, mourn his death with the people of the world, It Was o pexs A , Santo Domingo and Vera Cruz.

He held himself apart from it all as Vice President Arthur did gulrding the prolonged illness of Gar- eld. But the agitation In Congress finally came to a head and it was de- termined to “find out whether we have a President or not,” as one po- litlcal leader expressed it. The Mex- ican situation furnished the occasion for passing a resolution which the Senate_decided warranted a confer- ance of the forelgn relations commit- tee with_the President. Senator Fall of New Mexico, a republican and ad- ministration policy ~opponent, was named as one member of a Speclal committee to go to the White House, and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, a democrat, a political friend and league of 'nations supporter, was named as the other. Able to Shake Hands. Much to their surprise, the senators were ushered into the sick room, where the Presldent shook hands with his right hand, fumbled with some documents with his left and discussed the Mexican situation with marked mental agility. That demonstration exploded the rumors that Mr. Wilson was a maniac, unconscious, a’ prisoner, or so dis: abled that he was unable to talk business. It demonstrated, however, that he was still a sick man, showing a remarkable display of sand. Sen- tator Fall sald publicly after the con- ference that Mr. Wilson was “men- tally alert and mentally able to cope with any gquestion with which he might have to deal” Senator Hitch- cock and his democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill merely grinned with satisfaction. Mr. Fall observed, however, that he coudn’t tell whether Mr. Wilson could move his legs, and some democrat { countered with the observation that “Mr. Wilson didn’t deal with the Mex- can’ situation with his legs, anyway.” The inside of the matter was that a yemarkable will power careful nurs- #ng and skillful medical attention had B teen showing their effects.
