ON WMr WILSON I
(John Temple Graven in Palm Beach
Poat).
Show Ability In All Departments and
Get Big Bnd of 19-10 Score.
Today, tomorrow, or the next day,
and the great life of Woodrow Wilson
is at an end. <
It was hot a long life. Just three
score years and seven-lacking three
years of the alloted limit the Scrip
tures give to a man.
It was not a happy life. Pull of
honor beyond the fortunes of haan—
packed to the peak and running over
Charleston, Feb. 17.—Upsetting the
dope In more than one respect the
Presbyterian College of South Caro
lina defeated the Citadel in basket
ball last night in the alumni gym
nasium by the score of 19 to 10, in
a hard-fought contest, but one in
which the visitors demonstrated their
superiority in all departments of play.
There is no denying the fact that
measure of fame and power, it was
yet so full of other years of desertion
and desolation, of .misrepresentation
and' misunderstanding, scaling the
peak of glory and staggering in the
valley of defeat, and then slowly re-
' climbing to his great place in the
love and admiration of the people
—with paralysis and palsy his final
physical companions to the valley of
sleep—there are few who would call
his a happy life.
And yet how few great men there
are who would not have lived it and
thanked God for it—to the last day
of existence, fighting heroically to
the end for the breath that held the
great conscious brain within its flut
tering tenement of day.
No man could accurately write a
life like Wilson’s unless he had lived
it. No man of lesser mould could
hive balanced within the emotions of
a liuman heart the clashes of ambi
tion, the sweet comfort of achieve
ment, the joy of the conflict with
men who hated him, and the ecstacy
of triumph when the great heart was
full. No man could have described
the stern silences of defeat or ex
plained the real depth of the philoso
phy that gave them consolation.
Woodrow Wilson mufet have been
always a lonesome man. Self cen
to a degree, he had no capacity
share generously his happiness, or
sorrow.
. And that half centered ego was
f^ao the limitation of his capacity jo
suffer or enjoy.
r'lHi* enemies are a unit in crediting
him with a sublime conceit. His
friends unbrokenly prase a patrio
tism that ranked his country above
ail other conceptions of * his brain.
Whether Wilson’s mind was great
er and clearer than his fellows’ it is
too soon to see or say. It is the
great conception that measures
fpeatness in the course of time—
rather than the great argument to
.copvipce.or sustain..
Wilson’s fame will rest at last
upon the Peace Covenant and it is
too early to balance him on that'.
* A year ago Mediil McCormick in
the Senate was boasting the glory of
Republican achievement and the en
during splendor of Harding’s fame.
“Will you tell me,” shouted Borah,
“why your great President, honored
with 7,000,000 majority behind him
and with a great party about him
evokes so little spontaneous applause
and shouting when he appears in
public or they flash his face upon toe
picture screen? But let a moving
picture flash another picture, of a
broken and defeated man upon the
canvas, or let a solitary broken figure
ride alone in his carriage in the lines
of a. great procession, and the Welk
in rings with longer and louder
applause than any other man in all
the Republic wakes. I will tell you
why. It is because that spent and
broken man has done something—or
tried to do something—the greatest
something that any man has tried to
do in all the times In which we live.
That ia why Wilson now everywhere
eclipses Harding in demonstration
and applause.”
The future will decide the relative
clarity of reasoning that argued the
fourteen points in defending : the
treaty of Versailles. But the future
has already settled whose was toe
great conception that gave birth to
the dream of a world peace. And
upon that verdict rendered! by an
antagonist, the relative size of Wil
son as he is measured with other
men, must appear to history.
Wilson can wait.'"'/ ^ : > ! ’
Wilson skid to Joe Tumulty that
among the attributes given him
among men, he had preferred above
all things to be credited with to*
“Lincoln touch.” And yet he had
scaircely a trace of it. He,had been
wit, but not the unfailing Lincolnian
humor. He had kindness and hu
manity but Mi the expression of
those analitiea lu toe linthdn tomisar^
The Citadel los
ians in Clinton by ten points and
it was thought that on their own
floor the cadets would be able to
turn the tables, but the visitors out
played them and deserved their vie
tory. The game was a clean one
because “Dutch” Bernsen refereed and
when “Dutch” officiates the people
can always rest assured of a well-
handled and real basketball contest.

No one was forced to retire because
of the personal foul route. The visi
tors did not make a substitution.
The first half was a bitterly fought
affair and evenly played/ the visitors
leading at the end of {the period
8 to 7. The cadets could not get
started and were able to register but
three points in the entire second half,
a field goal by Guthrie and a foul by
6’Shaughnessy. This was rather dis
appointing, but was due to the mag
nificent guarding of the Presbyter
ians, Miller and J. Moore. On the
other hand, the Preebyteriana were
able to cage but six field goals even
ly divided among Walker, Ricker and
Hunter. The Citadel got three, di
vided between Guthrie, O’Shaughnes-
sy and Bell. . Hunter again failed
to live up to his reputation as a high
scorer, as he got but two field goals
and four fouls. He played a splendid
floor game throughout and did well
ia-toia capacity, but in hpth.coqtesto
here he fell down in his shooting.
Wagener, although forced to retire
for a time because of a twisted ankle,
did remarkable work for the Citadel
and deserves the lion’s share of the
praise.
There is no question but that this
is the best basketball team yet
brought to Charleston by Waiter
Johnson and it plays together very
well, indeed, the men relying on pass
ing. The space of the new gymnasium
seems to have cast an evil eye on
the Citadel varsity but the boys hope
to slay it before next week,’ when
they meet Furman. The line-up and
summary:

ness. He was always extravagant
ly admired among men. It is doubt
ful if there was a dozen among his
friends who really loVed him.
Colonel House told Kohlsatt, who
wrote “From Cleveland to Cox.” that
Wilson was intellectually the bravest
man he ever met. The ablest and
most judicial of his enemies declared
that his loftiest courage was founded
upon his colossal conceit.
They will begin to write Of Wilson
fajrly now. The inherent impartia
lity of history will begin to do him
justice in spite of hs enemies.
It is a fact that he always prosper
ed upon silence. Out of the unbrok
en silence that fell ao long upon the
close of his political career he came
back into his own—or was swiftly
and surely coming back.
And it ia likely now that out of
this last great silance^ef death there
will stalk the impartial truth to un
fold his record and to write the epi
taph of a man who with many faults
cannot fail to take hit permanent
place among the contemporaries as a
Very Greatest Man.
