Those who have followed the daily tributes that have come to him from all parts of the earth can easily realize, that though dead, Woodrow Wilson will live forever, growing greater in death. And then as one reads the story of his years of afflic tion of which the world knew little, and the love, devotion and tender sympathy of his wife during all his Alness, all hearts are touched And bowed in grief—there is a pouring •at of love and admiration for this noble idealist and Christian gentle man. It is needless for us to endeavor to •ulogize this great man—we are not equal to the task.

I hear the music of boisterous drums. I hear the silver voices of heroic bugles, salvoing the Prince of Peace. I see thousands of assem blages, monstrous amphitheatres.

I see the spirits of the young manhood of America whose war- wrecked bodies are lying ‘over there.’ ‘ “Again and again, mothers who lost their sons in France came to him and, taking him by the hand, shed bitter tears upon it, adding, 'God bless you, Mr. President.’ “And then I hear him say in Pueb lo, Col., in the final speech of his Bf Artiuar BtUmum IF TEDDY WERE HERE.

Can you imagine what Theodore Roosevelt would be doing about now if that Teapot Dome scandal were uncovered in his administration? He would have all the liberal givers of specting their satchels. He would have a battleship on its way to France to bring hack Sinclair, if the law would let him, and wheth er it would or not. His teeth would snapping and his hair bristling.

Then, on second thoughts, he testified, as did Mr. Mc Lean, that the latter gave him a check for $100,000, but he didn’t cash it greatness, coming from men high in official and national life that should be read and studied by this and future generations. His death marks the passing of a great man. As an edu cator and president, he served his country loyally and courageously, and with a skill aad efficiency seldom found, he directed the affairs of his great office in a way that made him a national personality. Ere his eyes were closed in death, his political critics and opponents, men of the Aaltbre of Senator todge, mg tribute to his memory and pro- daiming him as a statesman of high ideals and lofty principles. How cquld they do otherwise. Woodrow Wilson worked and died for the principles in which he be lieved. These high ideals which he strove to weave into the fabric of the nation’s life shall never die. America has produced no other man who will always remain a great world figure and who has contribut ed so mightily in the shaping of world events as Woodrow _ Wilson.

WILSON A CRUSADER. DE CLARES TUMULTY Speaking from Washington over die radio Monday night, Joseph P. Tumulty, long connected with the public life of Woodrow Wilson as Ks secretary while Governor of New Jersey and as President, paid tribute to the virtues of his dead chieftain. He said that while dead his spirit now belong to the ages. His speech ap pearing in The New York Times on Tuesday, follows: “Mr. Wilson is dead. “It is difficult to believe that his voice which a few weeks ago was en gaged in the ‘incomparable quest’ for the peace and security of nations, to day is silenced. “As we read the ominous buHetins that came from the sick room that ‘the machinery has broken down,’ that he was ready for the great adventure, we seemed to catch the spirit of the finmurtal Ulysses who, with a ‘frolic welcome took the thunder and aun- atine’ and who ‘wanted to wear out mther than mat out’ "Eleven years of intimate associa tion with Woodrow Wilson, through three years of which ran a mighty current of international conflict have vastly transcends any of the immedi ate and palpable objects of the war. They believe, and they rightly be lieve, that their sons saved the liber ty of the world.’ bix cni/1* v/t/ii tiiiuiiig, lit? ottlvl • " ‘ On last Decoration Day I went to a beautiful hillside near Paris, where was located the ,cemetery of i Curesnes, a cemetery given over to the burial of the American dead. Be hind me on the slopes was rank up on rank of living American soldiers, and lying before me upon the leve :. of the plain was rank upon rank of departed American soldiers. Right by the side of the stand wherel spoke there was a little group of French women who had adopted those graves, had made themselves mothers of those dear ghosts by putting flowers every day upon those graves, taking them as their own sons, theif own beloved, because they had died in the same cause—France was free and the world was free because America had come.’ “And then the final, prophetic words of this speech are: ‘We have accept ed the truth and we are going to be led by it, and it is going to lead us, and through us the world, out into thfe pastures of quietness and peace sifeh as the world never dreamed of be fore.’ * “Again I see Woodrow Wilson, stricken down in the zenith of his power and persuasion. I see him writing in pain and laboring in dis tress. And now he lies dead. “Yes, Woodrow Wilson is dead. “Though the great heart which beat in sympathy with the average man of the world is stilled, his friends throughout the nation, standing in grief and utter sorrow beside his bier, are resolved the dead shall not have died in vain. “Yes, Woodrow Wilson is depd. “He now' belongs to the ages, but {his spirit still lives—the spirit that business Yhah. United States needs a Secretary of the Interior it might hire Mr. Do heny. He knows how to make a good bargain; more than can be said for some of our Secretaries of the In terior. - •*— North Carolina forbids teaching in public schools “any, form of evolu tion which makes it appear that man descended from any of the lower or der of animals, monkeys or anything else.” - The North Carolina authorities should also forbid study of embry ology. - It is discouraging to find, ip embryonic conditions, that human be ings in the period before birth, pass through various animal stages, du plicating practically all of them, from the single cell up to the fully developed “primate.” At one stage of his devolpment be fore birth every man has two feet like a gorilla. Sometimes one of the feet does not develop, and the man is bom with one gorilla foot, which we call a “club foot.” That can easily be arranged by forbidding the teachers to say any thing about embryology. If you don’t like facts, why, smother them. Sleep Renews Your Mental Energy as Food Restores Your Body Doctor Semashko announces that Lenin’s brain weighed 1,340 grams; not an unusual weight.
