PRESIDENT WILSON at one time was the most adroit
' politician in the country, lie not only led public sen
timent, he made it. His sense of the public temper was
unerring. 1 lien came Ins break down. hcther that col
la se lias destroyed his political instinct, or whether be
cause of his condition, fundamental facts upon which any
successful public polk-y must be based, have been kept from
hii:'., the fact remains, that today he presents a spectacle
of ?i 11:1111 who is politically deaf, dumb and blind.
'iliere is no way of knowing the exact truth. But we,
arc inclined to the belief that the President has, because
ol Ins physical condition, .voluntarily abandoned the role,
of politician and assumed the much more congenial role of j
historian aiid statesman. He is not playing for the prcsi-J
dential election, he is playing for the verdict of history ;;
he is not interested in what is expedient, he is interested ini
what he believes is right. --
Only upon such an assumption can one understand the j
President's uncompromising insistence' upon ratification!
of J,he peace treaty as it stands, and his latest pronounce-!
nient urging that the United States take a mandate ; for j'
Armenia.
1 No sane politician would hazard such a course. The ob
vious role of the politician would be to take the stand that;
Mr. Jiryan takes, accept the treaty reservations and
smother the Armenian mandate in vague, humanistic.
generalities.
,
For there is no more chance of the American people ac
cepting the treaty without,reservations, and 'accepting a
mandate for Armenia, than there is of a one-legged man
walking to the moon. lught or wrong it simply lstt t m
the cards. The exalted fervor of war has passed, the crft
sade for militant righteousness has gone, and today jmcrj
ca stands weary, apprehensive, satiated, bored by troubles
without her borders, interested only in closing the foreign
adventure in the quickest possible time and returning to
the business of domestic reconstruction. ,
'Ah a politician Mr. Wilson must, realize this.' But as a
historian he refuses to yield to it. lie sees probably more
clearly than anyone that this war reflex Avill pass: He
knows probably more certainly than anyone, that funda
mentally America is idealistic, romantic, Quixotic,-4that
t his winter of our discontent is as certain to be followed by
a spring of renewed aspiration, as the night will be fol
lowed by day. .'.
vnd then the Wilson vindication will come. So the
President, broken in body, 'but not in spirit, is playing for
that future day. , When it conies he may be gone, but asW
good covenanter, as a historian first, and a politician there
after, he is content to leave his mortal destiny Avith the'
judgment of his countrymen.

Driving Ease in a
Mill
is Due to Special Steels
L
Many who drive a Maxwell
prefer it to a larger car.
They like its nimbleness,
its quickness in getting un-
der way, its peculiar ability
to thread its way through
, traffic its rare driving ease.
One can drive ut farther
in a . day with less fatigue
' than many cars much larger.
The reason is clear: its
engine pulls no superfluous
weight., ' -v'
Not a single unnecessary"
pound burdens it.
Special steels in a Maxwell .
eliminate the useless weight
steels made to Maxwell's
own formulae, "which equal
pound for pound those- in
any car built. '. ' -V,' , ;
', They have extra strength.; '
. forged into .them, "and they ,;
"provide lightness.
' ' This is one reason why
Maxwell ' has won public
favor the world over as in dicated
by nearly 400,000
now in use. How marked
the tendency today is re
corded by a production of -100,000.
