How much logger are we going to permit the dollar of the tourists, who would spend it with us to get by us? Woodrow Wilson—The Man. (From the Maysville Enterprise.) The private secretary of President Wil son has given the country an interesting pic ture of the personal side of America’s peer less president. Regardless of one’s political preferences or prejudices, W'ilson’s sincere character and loving heart demand the admiration of fair and normal men. We quote rather freely from the secre tary’s speech. In recalling the reaction of the president to the applause which greet ed delivery of his war message to Congress on April G, 1917, he said: ‘‘On that fate ful day I rode with him back from the cap itol to the White House, the echo of the applause still ringing in my ears. For a while he sat silent and pale in the cabinet room. At last he said: ‘Think what it was they were applauding. It means death for our young men. How strange it seems to applaud that.’ ” President Wilson had planned to ride in the funeral procession of the marines and sailors killed at Vera Cruz. There were rumors that an attack was planned on his life. One of the secret service men under took to argue with the president, saying, ‘You will show all proper respect by ap pearing in the reviewing stand. The country cannot afford to lose its president.’ His re ply was: ‘The country cannot afford to have a coward for president.’ That was his brief and final answer. He rode in the pro cession.” “He does not know how to capitalize his virtues for the front pages of the news papers. He is dreadfully poor publicity material. Human from his heart to the finger tips, he does not know how to put his humanity on exhibition. As his friend and admirer, I have loved him better because he didn’t. ’There was something too fine in his nature for the dramatic posturings of the political game as it is usually played.” His secretary drew these two pictures of the president: “In 1917, he is GO years of ‘age, but he looks not more than 45, so lithe of limb, so alert of hearing, so virile. It is Woodrow Wilson reading his great war j message. “The other picture is only three and a half years later. There is a parade of vet erans of the great war. They are to be re viewed by the president on the east terrace of the White House. In a chair sits a man, your president, broken in health, but still alert in mind. His hair is white, his shoul ders bowed, his figure bent. He is 63 years old, but he looks older. Presently in the procession there appears an ambulance la den with wounded soldiers—the maimed and the halt and the blind. As they pass, they salute slowly’, reverently. The president’s right hand goes up in answering salute. I glanced at him. There were tears in his eyes. The wounded is greeting wounded ; those in the ambulance, he in the chair, are alike casualties of the great war. “I don’t believe in his heart President Wilson regrets his wounds. I fancy he real izes no man could die in a greater cause, but 1 do sometimes wonder if it ever seems to him strange that when a man has been se riously wounded in his country’s service that he should be met'with sneers and cal umnies from his countrymen.” It is strange. And stranger still that his venomed haters and traducers should be honored by the countrymen of Woodrow Wilson. But human hate and human preju dice and human ignorance have done stranger things than that. Great-hearted chieftain! Your noble ideals will some day be translated into the governments of the world, your dreams will some day come true! Some day, hu man hearts will love you for what you are and human speech will praise you for what you wrought. It may be after your wound ed body returns to dust and your unselfish spirit is walking “ ’mid.everspring flowers,” and basking in the brightness and love of Heaven’s clime and your Father’s smile, but love and truth will win. Your sacrifice will not be fruitless. Strong men and fair wom en and little children will thank God that Woodrow Wilson lived aqd labored and loved. Thousands and millions of them are grateful today and the company will in crease as time reveals the righteousness of your sacrifice and the honesty of your heart. “Right is right, since God is God. And Right the day must win. To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.” THE TRIBUNE-NEWS. CARTERSVILLE, GA. NOVEMBER 11, 19S0. ! Governor-elect Hardwick Thanks ; His Friends. In closing his address to the State Con vention, Governor-elect Hardwick said: “To you, my friends, who have fought with me and for me, who have trusted me and have loved me, who have suffered with me and for me, who have been abused with me and won with me—to you, I extend the profound thanks of a deeply grateful heart. “If it be said of me that I have had, at times, bitter enemies, it can not be denied that at all times I have had as loyal, as ac tive, as ardent friends as ever inspired a man with their own intrepid courage. “May God make me and keep me wor thy of your confidence and your love. To the public 1 have been Congressman Hard wick, Senator Hardwick. To the public I will be Governor Hardwick—but to you I have always been and will always be—just plain Tom Hardwick.” Songs to Be Used at Armistice Celebration. * THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro’ the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still ther^. O say, does that Star-Spangled Ban ner yet wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen thro’ the mists of the deep, Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream: ’Tis the Star-Spangled Banner; oh, long may it wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and wild war’s desolation; Blest with vict’ry and peace may our heav’n-rescued land Praise the pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto, “In God is our trust!” And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave. “AMERICA” My country, ’tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died! Land of the pilgrims’ pride! From ev’ry mountain-side Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble, free, Thy name I loye; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart w ith rapture thrills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet Freedom’s song: Let mortal tongues awake, Let all that breathe partake, Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong! Our fathers’ God, to Thee, Author of libeAy, To Thee we sing: Long may our land be bright With freedom’s holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King! “KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING.” They were summoned from the hill side, They were called in from the glen. And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardships. As the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is break ing, i\lake it sing this cheery song: Refrain: Keep the home-fires burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of home ; There’s a silver lining Through the dark cloud shining, Turn the dark cloud inside out. Till the boys come home. Overseas there came a pleading “Help a nation in distress!” And we gave our glorious laddies; Honor bade us do no less. For no gallant son of freedom To a tyrant’s yoke should bend; And a noble heart must answer To the sacred call of “Friend.” Georgia Politics Prove Expensive Thf high eofet of modern day poli tics is exemplified in the recent state primary, when the candi dates # for governor and United States senator expended, according to the state m.-nts filed, a total of $56,362.40.
