TRAGEDY
4t-Tp RAGKDY alone can bring one to the realities of life." This
X statement by a now forgotten poet, is peculiarly applicable
to the reaction caused by the sudden announcement from Washington
that ex-President Wilson is at death's door.
Yesterday Washington was immersed in a multitude of: petty
squabbles,, oil scandals, cabinet
and tumble between the Twcedle Does and the Tweedle Dums. It till
seemed very real then, and decidedly dramatic.
But today. with the tragic news from the-Wilson home, the gaudy
trappings seem to fall from the agitated frames of the principal actors
what looked like gaping wounds are found to be merely clever appli
cations of grease paint, and tho attention of the entire country is turn
ed from, opera bouffe to the genuine tragedy being enacted at iWOO
S street, Washington, D. C
Here is the closing chapter of a life that has certainly been for
nt least four or five years, nothing but tragedy. Broken in body, but
never in spirit, impaired in mind, but never in courage, ex-President
Wilson has, it seems, been condemned to lie chained, a witness to the
failure of all his hopes and dreams, the destruction of those ideals,
those principals of human conduct which were the very foundation of
his faith. , i. . t . r .. , :
Whether one agreed or disagreed with Woodrow Wilson's phil
osophy of things, whether one considered him wrong or right, in his
political conceptions, no one can justly deprive him of that tribute,
which after all is said and done, is the only perfect tribute:
"1 have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept tho faith." ,
Every person hopes that Mr. Wilson may still live to see the fun
damental principles' of his faith justified. For those fundamental
principles were right. They are certain eventually to prevail. Mr.
Wilson never failed in vision. His failure lay in execution, on one
hand, and the fact that his rcuch was greater than his grasp on the
other.
In a few years when the bitterness of recent contentions have
passed, it will be conceded, that Mr. Wilson did not fail the world as
much as the world failed Mr. Wilson, lie suffered the supreme trag
edy of being called to world leadership before his time.

COWBOY
I
OMKTIMIiS I read the thrillers, when tired of Milton's odes,
and ride a while with killers along the western roads. Tho
cowboys found in fiction have nothing much to do but stir up
useless friction and shoot a gent or two. We seldom see them
doing n useful round of chores, the straying cows pursuing, or
fixing ranch-house doors. They're always eallyhooting around
on outlaw steeds, and shooting, shooting, shooting and pulling'
movie deeds. They save the rancher's daughters when villains
hold carouse, and baffle wicked plotters instead of milking cows.:
Their war cries weirdly screeching they ride their pintos pink;
instead of calmly teaching the locoed calves to 'drink. They are
romantic hustlers, a brave and nervous crew; they shoot the cat-i
tie rustlers, and shoot the nesters, too; they shoot up any smart icsi
who may' wear city rags; they shoot up any parties who critici?.c
their nags. ,Wc never see them sowing, or tiding useful things:'
more movie fits they're throwing, and riding round in rings, i'

rejoin my tutors, and study Milton's odes. ' '
