FROM WILSON’S OLD FRIEND.
< 'olonrl Harvey, the brilliant editor of the North American
Review, the man who made Woodrow Wilson governor of New
• hr.'i v a1111 president of the United States, springs the slogan
in 1 lie October number of his journal: “Hughes for America
lii-t; V ibnn tnr \\ ilson first.’’ And then the man who knows
llir President as perhaps no other man knows him proceeds to
the business of crucifying his “hazy theories” and “fascinat
ing articulation,” paying particular attention to the fiasco in
Mexico in these words:
"Six months have elapsed since General Pershing attempt
id the impossible, scores ol‘ our soldiers have been killed and
others captured have been sent back naked or in rags, Villa is
iveruitiug a fresh force about sixty miles north of the place
" here he was last buried, our suffering and' humiliated troops
ai '- in'll I in constant peril, as a football of politics, in a long thin
lim across the desert and an overtaxed people is called upon to
pay $luil.ii(Mi,llU() to meet the exigienev of a presidential year;
u liilf a putative joint commission sits occasionally and sails in
(• rmitteiitly under a tacit obligation to do nothing and to get
nowhere before election day.”
Colonel Harvey then quotes Secretary Lansing’s ominous
ih-seriplion of (lie situation, and adds:
‘‘ \\ hat may yet happen under inexplicably senseless will
lul and obdurate guidance God alone knows. But we do insist
i I “ii (In' evidence cited above (Lansing’s statement) that this
ir ( deplorable and most mortifying occurrence in the annals
■ i American history might and would have been averted bv
eai ly recognition by Wilson of the fact, which we tried desper
ately Iml vainly to impress upon his mind, that he had been
1 ' ted pn sidi at, not of Humanity, but of the United States of
\.>>
oil pul! Had he recognized this fact we should not have
had the endlessly humiliating billet douxing with Germany,
and the Mexican situation never would have shamed us. But
\\e would have missed a gigantic quantity of “fascinating ar
tieiilafion." w hich seems to charm a great many Americans.
Did plat it udc> in the latest linqual adornment usually do cliai in
us until too late.
“He kept us out of war!”
I" reality he sent us into war and made it possible for a
treacherous eiiemv to kill our own soldiers with our own
bullet s!

FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX HOWLANDS.
Hetty Green’s recent death discovers to the trustees of her
affaii how numerous tin* Howlands are in the United States.
I hey have received hundreds of letters from persons hearing
the I lew land name or related to Howlands, claiming shares in
the Sylvia -Vim Howland estate, worth about $1,250,000. This
estate was relcasi d by Hetty’s death. She had a life interest
in it. I he propelt_\ will lie distributed among the descendants
of I 'ideon Jlow'land, of Dartmouth, Mass. Yarioua newspapers
of the country have printed tales of Howlands in their com
mander who expect their ships to be berthed by Hetty’s pass
’! he trustees of the estate have issued a statement that
will dash many hopes. One paragraph says that while many
supposi Gideon and Hetty were descendants of John, the
M ay flower Howland, this is not true. They come by another
branch of the How land tree. Furthermore, say the trustees,
all the heirs an* known. There arc* 4.% of them, their titles are
clear, tiic books are closed and the other Howlands can’t get
a look in. It is one of the estates about which there apparently
cun lie no quarreling, so clearly have the investigators marked
the lives of lineage.
There are only a few of tis who don’t imagine we have
“something coming” from some mysterious pot of the distant
past. Thousands of persons give away sums of ban! and per
fectly u able money year after year in phantasmagoric pursuit
of mythical estates. Often they do this in spite of official rec
ords that completely nullify their claims. It has proved profit
able to a class of lawyers.
-;o;
It is highly improbable that German bombs inflicted any
thing like the damage in England which tin* Overseas News
Agency reports. It undoubtedly is exaggerated beyond <t,U rea
son. Germany has no means of obtaining figures of s^teh pre
tentious exactness. But there is no doubt that fW* &‘ppclins
are keeping the whole George island in a state. vJf fear near the
H> -1< Heal. Reports probably were Sent out- (n order to bolster
up the faking International News Service* which Hearst has
been coloring to bolster up his very strong pro German attitude.

Henry Ford's affections for Miss Democracy don’t run
deep enough to cause him to contribute to her support.

If I’resident Wilson would only come out from behind bis
rhetoric now and then so that we could see the real man!
-:o:-—
The retention of the word “obey” in tin* Episcopal mar
riage ,-ervice again brings to our attention, brethren, the vacu
ity of words.
