* WILSON AND THE WAR
==
1917?Feb. 3, President Wilson
broke off diplomatic re!a- j
tions with Germany on her
i renewal of ruthless sub- j
>
! marining.
i April 2, read his war message
to congress.
| 1918?Jan. 18, laid before the
senate his 14 points.
Nov. 11, the armistice
signed with the German
revolutionary government.
= "O
A S he stood at the clerk's desk in
*1 the hall of the house of representatives
on the evening of April 2,
.1917, President Wilson was the central
fignre in one of the great moments of
world history. Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been re-elected
only five months before because "no
r kept us out of the war." Ala-s, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption of ruthless submarining-,
which Germany had modified' the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambassador
his passports, and -next he proposed
that we should arm our merchant
ships. The filibustering senate
failing to give him this authority,
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress in extraor
dinary session to "receivc a communication?concerning
grave matters of
national policy."
No other president in the whole
course of h}s service has had to make
so many momentous decisions as
t- * Woodrow WiJson has had to make Id
Wilson and His First Grandchild.
^ V
the solitude of "Bis study at the White
House in those anxious days before
ifr the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such a heavy
responsibility; he had to bear it alone
and without a precedent to guide him.
Should we give a further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we enter
upon an independent naval warfare
against the submarine menace to
our shipping? Or should we back, the
allies with money and supplies, but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
j| should we join forces with them unreservedly,
contrary to the historic polv
\ Icy of America to go it alone?
Those alternatives were in. every
mind in that bewildering period, and
. the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be submitted
to congress. He made the
bolder choice of going into full partnership
with the entente allies, pool
lng with them all our resources, our
' man power, our money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress quickly approved
assured in advance the success of the
great, unparalleled undertaking, and
he pushed it .through to victory with
grim, unrelenting persistence. Americans
generally assumed at the start,
and the British government agreed
with them, that we should not have
to send a great army to Europe, if indeed
any at all. But when it became
an imperative necessity to go at
double quick to the relief of the bro
ken line in France, the foundation was
so well laid that we rose to the un
_ \ j l..
ioreseen emergency, uuuuiii;? up i.i ?
year and a half'an army of 4,000,000
and ferrying 2,000,000 soldiers across
the Atlantic.
The brains of tile country, all the
talents, were mobilized for the warmerchants
and scientists, bankers and
railroad men, labor lenders and clergymen,
each being charged with the
task for which his training fitted him.
"It is a race between Wilson and
TTinrtonhnrer" said TJovd dporsre. when
the big German drive surprised the
entente and smashed through its
front in the spring of 191S. Well,
whoever won the irar, Hindinburg
lost that race.
; The rest?the president's journeys
to Europe, the%treaty and the battle
;over it. are history still In the making.
Many years must pass before
that extraordinary chapter in the story
?f the presidency "will be finished and
may be told in the spirit of historical
impartiality.

THE GREAT IMPEACHMENT
C =
1867?March 2, congress passed
the reconstruction act
over President Johnson's
veto.
Also the tenure of office
act.
1868?Feb. 22, the House impeached
Johnson.
March 5 to May 26, the
impeachment trial before
the senate, and Johnson
acquitted.
1869?March 4, Johnson retired
from the presidency.
1872?Defeated for congress_
man-at-Iarge.
! 1875?March 12, senator from
Tennessee.
July 31, died in Carter
county, Tenn., aged sixty,
six.
O i -l
ANDREW JOHNSON'S presidenc
began with a great tragedy an
c*m& r^pnr pnriinsr in another. "" Wit
a two-thirds majority in congress, hi
opponents overrode hrs vetoes, seize
control of reconstruction, stripped th
president of authority to dismiss
postmaster or to get rid of an enem
ove? in his own cabinet, and boun
him hand and foot.
Although the president faithfully ei
ecu ted the reconstruction laws tha
had been passed over his vetoes, h
assorted the right, which never befor
^ad been denied a president, to choos
:1s ov.*n cabinet advisers. When h
tried to dismiss Secretary' stanroi
Stanton turned the war department ii
to a fort, and for weeks held it, nigli
and day, sleeping and eating at hi
post.
Emotion having supplanted reasoi
the house hastened to declare that "i
the name of the house of represent*
I tives and of the people of the Unite
| States we do impeach Andrew .Tohr
son, president of the United States

This most important trial in Amer
can history began on March 5, 386J
with the senate chamber crowded an
Chief Justice Chase of the Suprem
court in the chair.
There was a general expeetatio
that the senate would convict, no ma
ter how flimsy the case, and crowd
of eager partisans flocked to Washin;
ton t<> enjoy the spectacle of a Whit
House eviction?to tee "Andy walk th
plank." Senator Ben Wade of Ohi
was confident to the last that h
would 'be called on, as president c
the senate, to take Johnson's plac<
His inaugural is said to have bee
written and his cabinet selected, wit
General Butler of Massachusetts fc
secretary of slate.
As -'he roll of the senate was cnllet
amid a Pushed suspense, the Ilopubl

until the chief justice asked,. "Mi

"Not guilty," answered the distiT
gulshed senator from Maine, who ha
been in Lincoln's cabinet. The part
alignment was broken and it \fas agai
broken in another moment by Senate
Grimes of Iowa, who had been stricke
with paralysis under the strain of th
trial, but who managed to struggle t
his feet when his name was ealle<
Trumbull of Elinois, an old friend c
Lincoln, was another man of abilit
and distinction among the seven Ii(
publican senators who broke away an
joined the Democrats. Yet there wer
thirty-five votes for conviction again?
only nineteen for acquittal, just on
iess than the two-thirds necessary t
convict.
By a single vote the unique ind*
pendence of the American presidency
which makes it the most eminent an<
powerful political ofiice in* the work'
was saved. Had congress triumphed
ther first long step would have bee;
taken toward congressional govern
ment on the pattern of ;the parliamen

(make the mo I of it, because the evil
j of it n 1 the ihame of it was tre|
mendous. It was commercialized
j greed taking advantage of a loose
j general situation to stigmatize the
J young1 ladies of Anderson as patrons
and accomplices in drunkenness and
I ir.denency. it lowered the social custom
of Anderson close to the level of
the public dance hail. I know very
well that many who were there regret
i it. Then let us have no more of it
j in this town. The public dance inva!
riabl.v degenerates into a public ini
decency. The commercalized public
I dance in the cities is put under the
i strict surveillance of the law, and poi
licemen line the halls where it is cari
ried on. By what means can an end

the community.

[ they have been shamed. When the
j next invitation comes with all its
