AN ANSWER TO "REACTIONARY."
IN THE communication printed today by our old friend
"Keactionary" there is only one thin? with whieh we
inust agree, and there is only one thing with whieh we
must disagree. The one thing with which we must agree
is the signature, the one thing with whieh we emphatical
ly must disagree is the intimation that in our opproval of
President Wilson we have not been sincere.
We don't resent disagreement with opinions' express
ed in this column. We expect them, and even welcome
them. In an honest clash of opinion there is always profit,
for both contestants. But when anyone questions our
good faith, when anyone- intimates we don't mean what
.we say, or have some ulterior motive in saying what we
do say, then there is an end of- amiability and we are in
the line to fight.
We know Air. Reactionary very well, and we hope he
does not take his .Wilsonphobia' much more seriously
than we do. We also know he would not seriously ques
tion the sincerity of this paper's opinions. But in his
paroxysm' of partisan persiflage ha has clearly made this
intimation, so we feel compelled brieflv to set him light.
.., -
Our admiration for President Wilson iii the realm of
ethical values in his exposition of a new world ideal, in
his persistent effort to raise international -morality to a
higher and finer plane, is as whole-souled and fundamen
tal as any sentiment wo possess. We believe in those
ideals, and whether they are attainable now or not, we be
lieve in doing what we' canto. furtherthcm. -More than
that we bVlievc the American people as a whole believe
in them, and that regardless of party a vast majority i.f
the people at the present time, are behind their president
in his effort to make the .world a better placei'or the av
erage mam , -
This conviction has no relation to politics. We don't

Edwards, 38, an irou worker, shot

turned to his home and shot himself,

that Edwards had been acting aueer

COMMUNICATION.
From the Reactionary Again
To the Editor:
An editorial in the Tribune of May
31st contains the unaunlified state
ment that "President Wilson is su
preme in the realm of moral values
and that "his greatness will be en
shrined in the sphere of ideals." A
week later, on June 7th. the editor in
a still greater and finer burst of en
thusiasm savs: "But the Wilson idea
will endure, for in the last analysis
it is the idea in this world of ours
that is the immortal thing." Now,
if this don't out Heron. Herron. I.
don't know anything about it. You
know the Ex-Reverend Gent in a
.eulogy of Wilson used Woodrow's
name 21 times in conection with di
vinity and as a reward for writing
thus "Me und Gott" stuff Wilson ap
pointed the old reprobate a member
of the Prinkipo commission. I know
the editor of the Tribune is a rea
sonably sane and level headed chap
and at first I could not understand
this extravagant and platitudinous
flirtation with lunticv. but I now be
lieve I have solved the mvsterv. He
is simply perpetrating a huge hoax
upon the'Wilson worshipers. No one
knows better than -lie that for six
or seven years thev have been fed on
nothing but fine sounding words and
dizzy phrases (now known every
where as Wilson ideals) until thev all
have mental indigestion. Their men
tal gastric iuiccs have become so
weak and devitalized that thev will
not take hold on facts and realities.
Practical, reasonable, sang things
that are wholesome and nutrious they
turn away from in disgust and re
volt. Thev are mentally nervous, ir
ritable and iumnv nnd a word of
criticism of their idol leaves thctn
exhausted and palpitating.
The other day, in conversation with
a democrat, I happened to mention
that in tnv opinion Lcnine, Trotski
and Wilson were the three scarecrows
of contemporaneous history, and that
of the three Wilson was the most
dangerous to-the peace, harmony nnd
well being of the world and that bv
the time he got ready to pull out of
Europe with his hydrocephalus biinch
of servile lickspittles. America would
not have a real friend left among the
mit'ons of the earth. I thought I had
spoken very moderate but the. effect
on the good man was something ter
rible to see. Honest to goodness. I
thought he would full down in an
epileptic fit. I see that I must be
more guarded in what I sav hereaf
ter. In conversation with another
good democratic brother I casuully

son with three other scheming and
chafferine covenantors hnnded over
to imperial Japan forty millions of
defenseless nnd helpless Chinese who
were our allies' in the war nnd citi
zens of a sister republic And I ask

what he really thought had happened
to the Wilson doctrine of self deter

with almost the hunted look of a cor

nothing whatever to do with thismon-
strous crime and that when all the
facts come out of Paris it would be
found that the "Divine one" had not
given up or compromised a single
one of his high ideals. . Right there I
gave up. There are-no realities that
will feese this--bunch of nientnl nnd
moral dyspeptics and I hnVe become
convinced that the editor of the
Tribune is pursuing exactly the right
course in feeding them on iust what
thev crave, until such time as thev
show symptoms of returning to nor
mal when mnvbe he can feed them
some strong satisfying, republican
meat. However, if the senate should
succeed in separating this dark lant
ern covenant from the pence treaty.
so the 'sovereign sauats" in this
country can pet a chance to look it
in the mouth, the editor will have to
be mighty tactful about what and
how he -feeds them or there is sure to
be a large number of fatalities among
the worshipers in this community.
