WILSON SPEAKS I "Active cooperation for justice" ean bring about world peace, whicl is net promoted by "amiable phrases former President Wilson told a large s garnering1 of former supporters and friends who. called on him at his Wash- 1 ington residence Saturday afternoon The Rlcwdeprotjuces the account oi his speech transmitted by the Asso ciated Press : . ; . "I am Very , much moved by this' won derful exhibition of your friendship and approval and I have been reflect ing today that Armistice day has ; particular significance for the United States because the United States has remained contented with the Armistice , and has not moved forward to peace.. "It is a very serious reflection that the United States, the great origina tive nation, Bhould remain contented with a negation. Armistice is a ne gation; it is a standstill of arms; it is a cessation of fighting and we ai-3 so bent on a cessation of fighting that we are even throwing our arms away. "It is a singular circumstance to which Mr. Morgenthau has in part adverted that while we prescribed . the conditions of the armistice we V did' not concur in the establishment of permanent peace. That of course was brought about by a group in the United States senate who preferred personal partisan moves to the honor of their country and the peace of the world. ""They do not represent the United States, because the United States is moving forward and they are slip ping backward. Where their slipping will end, Gold only will determine., "And I have also been reflecting upon the radical difference between armistice and peace. Armistice, as I have said, is a mere negation; it is the refraining from force. But peace is a very positive and con- . structive thing, as the world stands nowadays, because it must be brought about by the systematic maintenance of a common understanding and by cultivation not by amiable phrases but the active co-operation for justice, and justice is a greater thing than any kind of expediency.'; "America has always stood for jus tice arid always will stand for it. Puny persons ,who , are now standing ia the i way will . presently find that! their weakness is no match for the strength of a moving Providence. If you will pardon an invalid for; put- ting on his hat, I will promise not j ,, to' talk through it. our faith jn the future though we are VVcelebraUng the past. Tne future U k in pur hands, and if we are not equa! to it the . shame . will be ours and . '. . not others. I thank you from J very full heart, my friends, for this i - demonstration of kindness by you and J . bid you and the nation Godspeed.'' :"i "''America has always stood for jus tiCe and always will, stand for if' the ' invalid said. "Puny- persons who are standing in the way will presently . . find that their weakness is no match , forh the strength of a moving Provi dence." The world needs Americans leadership more than ever and it is ; worthy of remark that the leader of those who blocked the Wilson treaty ; ; in the senate three years ago was all ' but -defeated in Massachusetts by a mediocre opponent America will yet accept the league idea. The best thing about the Univer sity victory over V. M. I. Saturday was the display of courage in the face of . what appeared defeat. With the cadets leading ? to 3 in the last quarter, the Tar' Heels started a march down the field that was not toj be stopped. That was the supreme test. Time was slip ping and along with it opportunity, and two minutes before the final whistle blew,' Carolina had put the ball over th line. That was the second time this season the Tar Heels have stood the acid test. They ought to have a clean slate atihe end of Thanksgiv ing day.- CLEMENCEAU Georges Clemenceau, aged 82 years, is on board the steamship Paris for the United States, where he plans, to spend several days and speak only good American English. Not even Mar shal Foch has so great an appeal to the imagination as this fearless old man, and America will accord him a welcome that will stir his soul. He comes as a private citizen of France; dispatches describe him as having all the enthusiasm of a child in anticipa tion of his visit. Clemenceau lived in New York two years as a young man, and as assistant in a library had the opportunity of improving his mind with good books. He was France's strong man in the war and he will give Americans the French point of view on world affairs today. To his ever lasting credit, he declined an offer of $200,000 to appear on a lyceum platform, contemptously advising the person making the offer to see Car pentier. That's the sort of man the former French premier is. The least difficulty in the world is encountered in obtaining affidavits in a sensational murder case especially where the parties have the dough. It is not surprising that an affidavit refuting the declaration of Mrs. Jane Gibson, who claims to have been an eye witness to the Hall Mills murder, has been made at Mew Brunswick. Alim Kemal Bey, editor of a Con stantinople paper which opposed tin young Turks, was killed by a mob after being officially condemned to death. Before he reached the scaffold a mob of angry women pounced on him with knives and hacked him to pieces. Still, "things that bad are done in more civilized countries. Lynn J. Frazier, Republican senator elect from "North Dakota, wound up his campaign and repaired to his farm. He voted. On Friday night he dropped into a newspaper office to find out how the election went. Evidently ho wanted to wait until he was sure the returns were in. Cotton prices have advanced and wheat prices sagged during the week, and unless the boll weevil - is con trolled there will be little cotton in another year. High prices for half a crop mean very .little to farmers. THE PROHIBITION SITUATION Springfield Republican While Ohio went dry, Tuesday, on a wine and beer amendment to the state constitution, prohibitionist can not pretend to extract much comiort frcm the election results. Ohio in tne center held firm, but the extreme East and West were both wet by out standing majorities. Illinois also dc manded a relaxation of enforcement and the overwhelming victories of Smith in New York and Edwards i:i New Jersy are not without signifi cance in relation to this issue. Reed's re-election to the Senate from Mis souri may also be attributed in large part to the almost solid support he received from the German population centered mainly in the former brewery metropolis of St. Louis. If the results be studied territori ally, and especially in relation to the urban and rural clevage on rarohibition certain facts become clearer. As the chief wine-produ'eing state in the Union in former days, California's wet vote is not surprising. In Illinois. the wet influence of Chicago was prob- aoiy decisive, as in tne Missouri St. Louis's beer interests were a formid able factor. In Ohio Cincinnati is a very wet spot but it was insufficient to swing the state as a whole. Here in Massachusetts, as well as in New YnrV and New Jefsy, the metropolitan dis tricts heavily outweighed the dry niaj- vi iwes m me rural districts. But here in the Fast the immense urban nopulation has all along been predominantly wet and Tuesday's ballot box phenomena .only empha sized a line of demarkation long ince established. At no time has there been any misunderstanding of the fact that prohibition nation-wide meant, in a certain sense, citv against country. Before we had fed eral prohibition bv decree r.t constitution, by far the lafger part of the rural counties and towns from ocean to ocean were -dry under local option.
