N. ?, WORLD STRONGLY, EULOGIZES WILSON. * . / ???? I RELIEVES PEOPLE FORTUNATE TO HAVE HIM AT HEAD OF AFFAIRS IN PARLOUS TIMES. i^r : ' i * t '* On the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's second inaugural, Woodrow Wilson completes half his fresl* dential term. These two years of the Wilson administration have helped to make more history than any other two years since Lincoln. The coming two years of the Wilson administration most inevitably be the most mometous period that this country has known since the Civil war. It is a fact of enormous imporgtance that this crisis finds in the * White House a President who is completely master of himself. Being toaster of himself, he is master of his party and of his administration. There is no kitchen cabinet. There are no back-stairs advisers. There are no secret influences that pull and sway the policies of the Executive. No underground wires run from the White House into Wall Street or into the headquarters of any political committee whatever. Men may agree with Mr Wilson or disagree with him; they may like him or they may dislike him; but everybody knows that be and he alone is P President. Everybody knows that ' ?.* during the remaining two years of * his term he and he alone will be President. & A very unusual man, meet to cope with a very unusual situation in the ,i~: affairs of mankind?a President who in all his official relations displays ;>< . neither vanity nor resentment, nor . * * anger nor personal ambition. If he i has friends, their friendship counts L nothing in the affairs of State. If he 6 has enemies, their enmity weighs gv nothing in the balance of Govern-. HF. v ment. He seeks neither to reward *the one nor to punish the other. * So evenly does he hold the scales that the members of the Diplomatic Oj?' > Corps, with all their highly developP||r ed facilities for obtaining information, have never been able to learn ? V where the President's personal s>m: ^ pathies lie in the great conflict that jj|Y/ is now devastating Europe. WhatR ever his individual opinions may be, he has smothered them in the re- , tp $ sponsibiiities of his office. At this period in their first term most Presidents have been carefully calculating their chances of renomiR i nation and re-election. Nobody |L? - knows whether Mr Wilson intends 1 f to be a candidate for re-election or ! j?r?v not. Not a member of his Cabinet, F not a member of Congress, can say of his own knowledge that the Pres- ' ident desires a re-election or that he . . | > would not refusea nomination. What 1 * Ml of them know is that the Presi- ' ' dent would not stoop from principle 1 -to win either a renomination or a ' re-election. That is where his great strength ' 'Vfek Res. That is where his great use- ( jFW , fuicess lies in this crisis. It is easy rh * to rattie the sabre. It is easy to make the welkin ring. It is easy to . m be spectacular and sensational and k #?, theatrical. It is easy to be a dema? Y* igoguel It is easy to juggle with - *, vthe fate of a Nation when no man - can foresee what the next day will j bring forth. But it is not easy to JtLit be calm, restrained and judicial. It Sf* * is noteasy to face every responsibility J Fife without prejudice and without pas-son. It is not easy to hew straight to the line of first principles, re- , ? rgardless of applause or censure or ! praise or denunciation. It is not y qg t ?asy to be sane when the world ? has given itself over to madness. The enormous good fortune of r , the people of the United States in : > ?the storm and stress of these com- . ing years is that their Chief Magist trate is sane?the sanest mind toi! day that is intrusted with the re rv. sponsibilities of government any., where in civilization. ? -Few York World. < s Ir* ' 11 9 1 c * ^ T * * . t How To Give Quinine To Children.

Row Newspapers Are Misunderstood and Blamed Unjustly. My name never gets in the prper." This is about what a fellow said the other day, and he was a little hot about it. He continued: "It masters not how 9ick I get or who comes to visit us or where we go, it is never mentioned. I just simply cannot understand it." Well, it is all very plain to a newspaper man. This fellow's name,and the names of many others are not mentioned because the people whose business it is to get up the news happen not to know what they are doing. It is wonderful that newspaper people c?i ?x ? . L : T4. nnu oufc ho iimuy ujuik?. n is mc rule of this office to get all the personals possible, and no one is overlooked for any reason whatever save for the want of information. Of course, there are some people who do not care to see their names in public print, but there are others who feel differently about it. And even those who are averse to publicity of this kind have friends who like to know what they are doing, and for their sakes they should not object to personals about themselves. But, why this friendly talk? Simply this, to ask you that you never hesitate to 'phone us when a friend visits you or when you know of persons who are sick. We will aDDre date all information of this kind. But please do not ask us to take long notices or, for that matter, short ones, about meetings of any kind over the 'phone, but write them out and send them to the office. If you 'phone them, we may get them wrong. If we take them over the 'phone, it will not be because we care to do so, but only because we are too polite to refuse, especially if you are a lady.?Greentoood Journal. A Matter of Business. The Milton Manufacturing Company, the American Car and Foundry Company, and S J Shimer & Sons, of Milton, Pennsylvania, have issued absolute orders demanding that their employees abstain from alcohol and refuse to sign license petitions or otherwise indicate sympathy for the saloon. 1 J I iftirty men were cuscnargea oy the American Car and Foundry Company because they signed liquor license applications. It is not desired to regulate the opinions of the employees in regard to prohibition but the stand is taken that a man who signs a liquor license application does not properly appreciate the danger of liquor to himself and the community. He is, therefore, not a safe employee for a concern demanding efficiency. "Indulgence in the use of liquors is a menace to all business interests," declared Mr George S Shimer, president of the Milton Manufacturing Company. "If the employees' should be protected by the employer, why shouldn't the employer be is well protected by the employe? Jut employees have congratulated us upon the step we have taken," Heads of the other companies involved gave similar reasons for their action. Who Owns This Country.
