Woodrow Wilson died at 11:13 Sunday morn- I log after clinging tenaciously to life for several days when those ■ about his bedside expected surrender ut any moiueut. Death cam** '< to this great man as he slept and he moved or. in to the great beyond I without struggle. Today the nation and the world bourns an hon- f est, brave and worthy leader who bail ideals and fought for them I with all his strength. -* Future history will give him credit for his greatness for his I ideals were unselfish, IDs desire was to serve and Ills career was shortened because of the overtaxing of his strength to make clear his hopes ond desires to the people of this nation. He was first stricken at Wichita. Kansas. September 26 th, 1319 aud nine days afterwards, suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never fully recovered. After retiring as president Mr. Wilson lived in a modest home in Washington, devoting IDs time eight hours a day to hi* books and his writing. He took no part in politics and he made no effort to intorpere with the policies of Mr. Harding or Mr. <o(*Us- I He did his best and realizing the burdens of serving as president would uol think of doing a single thing which would make those tinpuiiuut du'i«s more difficult for IDs suehessor. Another meat cx-prcsident has passed to his reward. He was liorn at Staunton, Va.. December 2Stl>, ISSB. graduated from Prince tun. was a teacher and a professor for seventeen years, president of Princeton. governor of New Jersey, president of the fulled States, represented this government in the great peace conference and during many year* of that wonderful activity was in ill health. His courage was wonderful ami few men have served their people more faith- I fully. Flags are ut half must today as the nation mourns, hearts are sad anti men of every party admit the greatness of the twenty-eighth president of ihe i nil' ll Stales whose career is closed and whoso wise advice ami Idealism lire badly needed in these trying days. He was culled inflexible and In* was. lie ms do up IDs mind carefully und then refused to bend und only that kind of a man could have taken this naluiu through lie- great war without greater loss und perhaps ruin to this nation. He has been criticised because In* was not understood. So was Lincoln criticized ami for the same reasons. They fought for their people, they sacrificed their lived, they gave all they had Kveii enemies will admit • to*■ virtue*. Today a saddled people pay their last respects hut the generations to come will sing the praises of one of the greatest men of all times -Woodrow Wilson,

Mr Wilson's nomination to ticpresidency by the national Demo-1 i-ratie convention in 1912 at Balto-j nose, after a prolonged deadlock, was a dramatic episode. The Republicans had spill, and the Hull Moose ! had formed the third party. With the opposition divided, it looked dearly ,i Democratic year, a cinch in particular if the Democrats put up u progressive candidate. The blowup in the Republican convention in the Chicago Coliseum had hardly died away before the astute on both sides were picking Wilson as the probable Democratic .tnmlard bearer, despite the fact that he lacked the votes ul first. William Jennings Bryan, who thrice ran tor President, wielded power. He called upon alt candidates to decline ib" support of “Wall street dcleth« Tammany hunch- Mr WBou was emphatic In his refusal «> | icccpt such votes, and Bryan and ills followers swung their support to him,l' despite the fact that Mr. Wilson a few months before had written a friend expressing the fervent hope hat iiryan might be 'knocked into a •oe k< d bat."

Sneaking in a broad sense tlie answer lies in two word* - “Industrial Harmony”, gamed through the every day practice of the principles of justice, fairness and equity within the organization. S andard 0.l Company (Indiana) employes know that ihe Company ts engaged in a basic industry and that, therefore, continuity of employment is assured. Every employe Who has been in th« Company’s service for one yor-r, or more, hag the privilege of buy.or stock in the Company, up to 20'; of h:s earnings, on h favorable ba«ig. To every dnl-nr the umpieve inv-«ts in thia manner, the Company ad ds Sic. I hus does the Company provide a plan of agisting employes in accumulating a comj c.er.ce. A few year* ago the Company put into operation an annuity system, providing an income for those* employe* who have reached old age in the Company’s service er who may have been incapacitated while so engaged. Within the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) thorn is an internal organisation— the Industrial Relations Department which provides an open channel for men and women to bring their grievances to the attention cf 'he Management for adjustment, and vh*ch cn .bles them to have a voice in all rrfa t rs pettai'.'ng to their employment and their working conditions. Since the inauguration of this plan 9J 3 r r of the suggestions submitted to the Management have been mad: effective. Therefore, vrithcontmuity of employment assured — with assistance in acquiring a competence — with provision for income when active work days are over —and with an open door for submitting grievances, with ample precedent for anticipating equitable adjustment— is it to be wondered at that employes make Standard Oil Company (Indiana) busii ess the.r life job? Is it surprising that every Standard Oil Ccmpffhy (Indiana) employe with whom you come in contact, puts forth an enthusiastic effort to render you a full measure of service? The business of the Company is his business. It is peace of mind within the individual and harmony pre veiling throughout the organization that enables this Company to render such superior service as to have gained the respect confidence and esteem c*f the thirty million people of the Middle West.
