Contracts for advestisin •Wilson in Wa*hinfton.” The following statement, which ap peared as part of an article in The Saturday Evening Post under the above heading, is accredited to President Woodrow Wilson by* writer who is in a position to know wereof he speaks: "I claim no superior attributes of mind or decision over you or any men in my party; but you overlook the fact that I have been designated by the peo ple to hold this office andbe the official head of this nation. I am simply the instrument of the people for carrying out their desires as 1 understand them. I must bear the burden of the respon sibility to the people, and not you; and I have no desire to divide that respon sibility or shift it. Until the people re lieve me of my responsibilies these re sponsibilities are paramount, and 1 must insist on my conception of my duty.” And there you have the man in a nutshell Because he has been elected to the Presidency and insists on being the real head of the nation and not a mere figure-head, there are many dis gmntled politicians who are <juick to criticise him Mia predecessor in office no doubt made a go<»d President but he will not go down in history as a great one We believe th.-.t Wilson is making both a good and great Chief Executive As he points out, the res;>onsibilities are his and every true American should glory in the fact that he is man enough to shoulder them Me is willing to take the blame for his mistakes and he is quite right in not wishing to l>e cen sured for the mistakes of others. We for one, are perfectly willing to let the little old ship of state rock along under his sure, guiding hand, controlled by his calm, logical brain, An effort is being made in Washing ton for tho segregation of the races in the departments of the govern ment. Recently there have been several instances of negroes making assaults upon the white women with whom they work side by- side each day, becoming over-familiar and feeling that they are on a plane of equality with the superior race. Editor Villard, of the New York Even ing Post, has become extremely tttifer in his criticisms of Southern ideals and and morals, so much so that on Satur day a Louisiana Congressman made a bitter speech on Villiard’s attempt to incite the negroes of Washington to protest against the segregation. The North and the South have dif fered on this question once before and it was one of the prime causes of the War Between the Sections. We people of the South knew and understand the negro perhaps better than any one else For years we have come in daily con tact with them, and know that when a white man becomes too familiar with negroes they at once lose their respect for him. The amalgamation of the races is too horrible to think about and would only mean the downfall of therepublicT The quicker the people of thej^orth-j-n awaken to the true condition of affairs the sooner will they realize the absolute necessity of keeping the white people of this country on a higher plane, socially eflwnrise.than the brother in Mack. Wm kon* Dm Boot) M*', Why SkomU Ymm Worty? There are some people in this world who love to And fault, especially with newspapers. Whenever a reporter or an editor makes a mistake they are quick to point it out to him. On the other hand they hate above anything in the world to compliment a newspaper man on something especially good that he has done. For the benefit of this class of readers we are reproducing below an article from an exchange that will give them some idea of the worries and vexations that strew the paths of the followers of the Fourth Es ate. Read it and then when you see an er ror in a newspaper you will realize that the editor is not entirely to blame. The editor of a local paper is often unjustly censured for his mistakes. The wonder is that he does not make more of them. On the average paper he must deal with all kinds of subjects, give the names, dates, etc. One hour he may be engaged in reporting a re ligious meeting and the next drawing the picture of a fight. He must con dense and fill with his items several columns, Whether events are trans piring to throw up material for his use or not. Count the local items in a paper and imagine how many steps they have required, how much mental anxiety, worry and work they have cost and some idea of the editor's work can be gathered. *The smallest may have cost him a long walk and much effort to reach the facts. There is no end to his work. When one paper goes to press he turns his attention to the next one. He makes his rounds in search of news and may not get a line From some he must get news without their knowing it, drawing them into conversation and obtaining what he wants in sections. Me may labor for hours in chasing down a rumor only to find that there is nothing in it. His local columns stare him in the face and demand to be filled not with skim milk but with cream of news events and matters of interest His bounds are limited and yet he must find in each day and all through the week, month and year something of interest to the public No more jH-rfect tread mill could be devised With such a constant strain, produding weanm-ss of the body and mind and an almost endless variety of subjects to be touched u;xjn, is it surprising that he should occasionally make a mistake •' Other people do. vsh> shouldn t an editor? s We Welcome FAIR VISITORS Wc are anxious to sell you for two reasons—one is that it will help you to buy from us and will help us to sell you.
