•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.

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?

ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
‘‘It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. 1 shall never be without

J in my home.” For constipation, indigestion, headgche, dizzi-
01 ness, malaria, chills and fever, biliousness, and all similar
01 ailments, Thedford’s Black-Draught has proved itself a safe,
