Published every Monday and Thursday and entered in the Postofice at Ligonier, Ind., as second class matter. - e ] - Wigton on Wilson. : The following in the LaGrange news written by the father of W. H. Wigtoy of this city for the LaGrange Newt will be read with interest here wher: the elder Wigton is well known: “In your editorial of the 23rd inst you pay a very just tribute to Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States. Also a just-rebuke to the propagandists of hate, who are arrayed against him and his policies regarding measures of preserving workd peace.” writes Robert' M. Wigton senior oftLa(}ran'ge. : 5

“1 would like to read your opinion of the substitute policies that have been offered notably “The Association of Nations,” “The World Court” and the “Bok Plan” the latter of which we are now asked to vote upon by referendum. : “The first to my mind, was only a subterfuge put out in a campaign to win votes, but the last twc plans are doubtless sin,ce_rev moves and worthy of some consideration since they take us into the League ol Nations, where our influence as =2

great world-power would be of grea: value even at this late day. - “The covenant of the League of Nations as sponsored by Woodrow Wil son, is beginning to loom large even in the camps of his enemies. When 1 think of that grand old man after a long and useful life spent in the service of his people—training the young —guiding with infinite patience and ability the development and nobility of his- countrymen-—carrying to a crowning success the most stupendous military conflict of all times—leading his countrymen to the loftiest pin nacle of esteem ever attained by any nation—teaching his' followers to b« merciful and generous to the fallen—doing double duty at the head of thr greatest nation upon earth and the savious of right and honor for the whole world— : ;

“Defeated at .last by the combined efforts of the world’s trained politica’ tricksters, the covert rgsigns of th: sélf seekers and the propagandists: ol insatiable hate, guileless in ‘his own life —shrinking from no duty—violat ing no vows—facing without a qualm: or a tremor of resentment the shafic 01. trickery and deception—striving with infinite skill @to bind wup the wounds and soothe the passions of a frenizied wreck of = civilization ny hope is that he may live to see his beneficient plan carried out in triumph.” ! : |
