WILSON * OF THE WORLD: — Thai the state papers ot Woodrow Wilson will take with the most inspiring and illuminating in the history of America has long since heeif conceded by all capable of judging. • The ojt reiterated sneer because of the perfection of the literary style is only silly. Hut it is doubtful if he ever reached so close to inspiration as in the remarkable message proclaiming the inevitable entrance Os American into the war. His memorable peace speech to the senate, expressive of tile ideals and hopes of the republic, lyrically winged its way to posterity, but the failure of his efforts for the restoration of peace will deprive it of the historical sigtiifiratio of his recent message. From the beginning ot the War the greatest men ir the belligerent Mjationa Asquith in England. Ihdlweg in Germany. Briand in France have proclaimed the fmrposes of those nations in state Impels and inspired speeches intended to plead the cause of. their countries at the bar of futurity, but all of them fell flat in comparison with Wilson's ex]K>sition of'America's cause and purpose. In America Root and Taft and Rosevelt have placed upon it the stamp of noibftartisan approval, but the most impressive commendation come, from other lands The decis- ■ ion of the French government tn have it read in all the schools, and the action of France anti -Italy in posting it conspicuously on every board in th< land, reflects the admiration of mankind In The public sc hoofs of Memphis.

And Sir Wilfred Laurier, the brilliant statesman and orator of Canada, in pronouncing'it “the most important contribution since Lincoln's time to the literature of freedom and democracy." has given us. in concise form, file commen•datioii of the world. The time will come when the great German nation has rid itself of its mediaeval cal incumbrances and found its place in the sun of democracy, when the children of the Teutonic race will read it with admiration and respect tor not one line reflects upon the German people Fort Wayne Jour-nal-Gazette. The Thrift garden movement in this country is the greatest ever and is becoming a yery popular one. Ev ery one realizes the importance ol this work and is helping to make it a success. Get in the game. • Every woman should read careful!: the words of Sec retary Lane who says "The women of America can di no greater work at this time than ti raise their own vegetables, can thei oUn fruit, prevent waste in thei homes and give impulse and enthu uiasm to the men of the land. If the, (io this they will be doing a good 5i If you do not want to buy a new suit at this time you will at least have to brighten up that old front of yours with a snappy hat.
