Two months age .Woodrow Wiison could have been elect ' I'd president of France. Today Paris ,-vvould not elect his justice of tho jence. Whether the remainder of France hai similarly changed it is impossible, to buy, but people returning from the in' jtcvior report that his pictures still fill liis namo still evokes the readiest cheers. This is not so in Paris, where tho 'ipen unfriendliness of certain news import is echoed in subway, tramway mid hotel corridor conversations. The nttitudo is usually taken that Wilson ur.duly lenient toward Germany. Angri debaters allege ho is more concerned with saviiijj Germany than saving France. Ecsentment in Paris, howevor, is not confined to the president. The names of 'Premier Lloyd-George aud other noted visitors are beginning to be heard, whereas, after Wilson's arrival scores .f prominent names virtually dropped., out of circulation. These names are now heard coupled with Wilson's charged' .with virtual treachery to France.

This is one factor that can be taken into consideration in reading the pessimistic comments of e considerably (section of the French press regarding Tieaco work. Disregarding the allegation that gov ernment propaganda is responsible for that attitude of the French newspapers, there is another factor alleged to be. in cluded in their cries of "wolf! wolf!"

Wo are met on a great ibattli fiold of-tjnt war. We have come to dedicato a portion' of that field, as a final resting place o! those who here gave tlulT lives that that nation might live; It is altogeth er fitting and proper that we should do this, ;,.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate we- cnnfiot cotisfriiie-wc. aanot -hallow this grounds But .bravo men, living and dead, who struggled hero, have consecrated it,' far aibovo our poor powor to add or detract. Tho worl.l will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forrot what they did here. It is for the living, rather, to 'bo dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us .to be here dedicated' to the great task remaining before us that from theso hon ored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the luat full measure of devotion 'that wo here highly resolve that theso dead shall not have died in vain 'that this nation, under God, shall have a now birth of freedom aud thait government of the people, by the peoplo, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

" Unless the boys on the stato payroll who are seeking to have the legislature boost their salaries can lino up another vote- or two in tho senate the salary bills aro doomed. The handwriting on tho wall appear ed in the senuto yesterday afternoon when tho bill to boost the salary of State Tax Commissioner Galloway, from $2500 to $3000 a year fell short jiut ono vote of passing the upper house. Tho vote was 15 to 15, and it takes 16 votos, or a mnjority of ono, to got by. After the tax commissioner's salary bill mot its tragic fate, the bill to in crease tho salary of Dairy aud Food Comniisioner J. D. Micklc, from $2,000 to $3000 was reached on tho calendar for third reading, but it was Bnved for tho timo being from possibly u similur fato by being referred to tho ways and' moans committee. In that connection, Prcsidont Vinton reversed an earlier ruling ho had made and held that all salary bills must first go to tho ways aud means committee. That will mean that salary boosting bills must indeed bo meritorious to get by, as tho ways and means committee is hav ing a hard timo to take care of the ac tuul wants of tho stute institutions. Senator Banks,, who said ho had U mind the bill to iucreaso the salary of the insurance commissioner from $3000 to $3600 a year, objected to the presi dent's ruling, rs he considered It a foregone conclusion that the ways and means committee would report unfavor ably on all salary bills.
