REVIVAL OF WILSON POLICIES EXPEGTED Democrats See Wave of Ap- preciation, as Political -Asset in Campaign. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WIL You cannot move in democratic cir- cles in Washington without encoun- tering the view that, in death, Wood- row Wilson has infused life into the party of which he was so long the leader. In the remarkable tributes that accompany Wilson to the tomb democrats discern inestimable advan- tage to their cause in 1924, They rec. ognize that culogies of the war Presl- dent uttered in the hours immediately following his passing are more or less ephemeral. Yet, like a tidal wave that suddenly rolls in from the sea, democrats are convinced that this re- crudescénce of appreciation of “Wil- sonism” will soak in. Its effects will The beneficiary, it is ar- gued, will be the principles and the varty with which Woodrow Wilson was identified, Indulging in Reflections. ' Democratic leaders are indulging In such reflections in the conscious- mess that their departed captain would wish it so. In his last public ut- terance—tho defiant little speech on his own doorstep on Armistice day, 1923 —Wilson foreshadowed a turn in the tide of opinion toward the thing: e Suvml_ for. Thus, the expres of men like Coolidge, Hughes, Hoover, Weeks, Borah, Lodge and Hiram Johnson, as well as of other outstand- republicans, are held by demow crats to be sométhing more than per- functory. 4 cclaim phraseolog: underlined by’ Presldent Cool- fdge’s proclamation. While no re- publican plaudits approve outright the policies which Wilson espoused, they are bound to go far, democrats Lssert, toward counteracting the de traction to which he was so bitterly subjected.

Rural Church Discussed. Bishop Freeman spoke of the rural churches of the dlocese and urged that the diocesan board of missi appoint special committees that woul deal intimately and directly with these churches, a& well as with those missions in the city that are in whole or in part dependent. He urged alse that the committce on the s of the church make areful surv the whole n onary work in city and country and in co-ope wWith the diocesan board of missions to work out a plan that will render this work more effective and efficient. In this connection the bisho gested that, especially in th y large consideration be given to the question_of developing rategic points strong chupches rather than multiplying dependent missions. »Betfer we throw our strength into the development of strong, well placed churches, that give promise of early self-dependence, thap by multiplying mission stations, increase our cost of maintenance and rm;dcl-rr ervice to the city as a whole lc-:"‘! sefl( tive,’ he added. “Better large and strong and well adminis- tered churches, ~ with eral ade- quately paid priests to direct them, than struggling missions with undl‘vl:—s paid clergy and indifferent results.’ The erection in the center of the city of a building to be used as a dio- an clubliouse was proposed b Bishop Frecman. He declared that immediately related to the whole ! question of the work in the diocese of better administration is that of fecuring such a building, which can be used for a meeting place for clergy d Jalty as well to contain thej { offices of the dioc 2 H Committee Ts Urged. recommended that the conven-! | tion. anpolnt a special committee to ake up this matter and to effect plans at the earliest ogsible day.
