Woodrow Wilson, win or lose, is bound to bring an im
mense number of voters under the Democratic banner this
fall. He is possessed of most of the qualities that attiact
the people. He may never have inspired the enthusiasm
which was evident during the “reign of Theodore, but j
the enthusiasm was so great in the Roosevelt time that it
was impossible to maintain it without having the powei
vested permanently in the hands of its creator. It was
said once by a British statesman that every man in power j
always speaks under a sounding board that makes his j
words travel far and wide. During his incumbency Roos
evelt was listened to and heard. Around him was cast the
glamor that arises from the presidency of this nation. In
a lesser way than of old American citizens almost believe j
that the president can do no wrong as the subjects of j
monarchies were wont to say of their kings. It is really
a fact that we are prone to accept almost as gospel the j
opinions of the man who is at the head of the government j
to which we are politically allied.
A president while he is a president is almost regarded
as sacro-sanct unless by the opposition leaders, and to!
them, of course, he is anathema if one could believe them.
It is only when he steps down from his high office that he j
appears human and seems to possess human faults..
Roosevelt had taken too high a place in the minds of
the people during his presidency to maintain it as an or
dinary citizen. He seemed to have forgotten that what
might have been called heroic and statesmanlike in a
president might be called ridiculous in a man without
power. Wilson has apparently gained the confidence of
the country, if we except the speeches of his political op
ponents. Deep down exists the feeling that his adminis-'
tration has been sane, if slightly prejudiced or timid in
some respects. He is the sort of man who would make aj
glorified sort of manager of a store, newspaper or show
house and need never l>e doubted to keep within the bounds
of prudence and intelligence. Who knows that be
cause of this very prudence he was not specially chosen by
the guardian genius of this Republic to guide its destinies
through those fearful times? Maybe some day the coun
try will increase its estimate of a Wilson while decreasing
its estimate of those who once shone more brilliantly but
lacked the persistence that always brings the tortoise in
ahead of the hare.
Perhaps, in Wilson and Hughes the country now has
before it two of the safest and sanest men the nation
could produce.
130,214 JOIN GIANT
PARADE FOR DEFENSE
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, June 3.—The greatest
parade ever held in Chicago erifted
tonight after 130,214 persons, one
sixth of whom were women, had filed
through the streets in a preparednc»%
demonstration.
The parade was seven anti a half
hours in passing. More than 1,000,
000 persons are estimated to have
wateehed the demonstration.
The night division was made up
largely of military organizations,
which included all bracnches of the
army and navy service.
The parade started at 9 o’clock in
the morning and did not conclude un
til nearly midnight.
All day long, and far into the
night, the marchers passed, from curb
to curb, rolled like a tide through the
streets. It was as if the great sky
scrapers were the banks of a river
and the marching thousands, each
with an American flag, the waters
moving between them.
Major General T. H. Barry, com
mander of the Central Department,
U. S. A., who sat in the reviewing
stand, declared it to be the greatest
and most inspiring spectacle he had
ever witnessed.
The demonstration impressed by
its bulk, and by the absence, to a
large extent, of the hilarity accom
panying most parades. There were
no floats, no comic costumes, and lit
tle of the holiday spirit apparent. The
airs played by the bands either were

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber

for few knew the words.
They did better, occasionally, with

the words of “Onward, Christian Sol- j

strike the paraders as appropriate to
the occasion. A division of clergy
