PRESIDENT SAY8 OUR PROMISE
TO TRY TO PREVENT FUTURE
WARS SHOULD BE KEPT.
ONLY HOPE IS IN WORLD LEAGUE
ays Oarmany Would Not Have Darsd
to Strlk. If Nations Had Baen
Banded Against Aggression.
(By Mt. Cleuwns News Bureau.)
St. LoutsDUplaylag; a high con.
Sdence that bit tellaw citizens In the
great uujurlty agree with him In all
desire tu end war furever, and that
the Mtace treaty with Its League ol
Nullum Inclusion Is ratified by the
senate, President Wtlsou is making a
successful way across the country on
the long Journey he has undertaken
tor the purpose ol laying before the
plain people a report of his work In
Paris and explaining to theuj Just
what the League means.
Thus far In hlB travels he has every
where met with warm greetings, both
in the great halls where he has
spoken furuially uud In the little cross
ruad hamlets where his train has
halted at times and he has exchanged
words with the villagers who pressed
lurward to greet him. He feels, and
does not hesitate to say so when
chatting with his travellug compan
ions, that the American people want
no more of war and want to become
oart of the League so that there may
'be no more war. He struck bis key
note when he said lu bis ttrst address,
in Columbus, Ohio:
"This treaty was not Intended mere
ly to end this single war. It is meant
as a notice to every government who
tn the future will attempt this thing
(what Oermauy attempted) that man
kind will unite to Inflict the same pun
ishment. There Is no national
triumph to be recorded In this treata.
There Is no glory sought tor any par
ticular nation. The thought of tha
statesmen coltectd around that table
was of their people, of the sufferings
they had gone through, of the losses
they had Incurred, of that great throb
bing heart which waa so depressed,
so forlorn, so sad In every memory It
had of the five tragical years that
have gone by. Let us never forget
those years, my fellow countrymen;
let us never forget the purpose, high
and disinterested, with which America
lent Its strength, not for Its own glory
but for tae defense of mankind.
"As I auld, this treaty was not
meant merely to end this war. It Is
Intended to prevent any similar war.
1 wonder If some of the opponents of
the League of Nations have forgotten
the promises we made our people be
fore we went to that peace table? Wa
had taken by process of law tha
flowxr of our youth from every court
tryaldi), from every household, and wa
told those mothers and fathers and
sisters and wlveB and sweethearts
that we were taking those men to
fight a war which would end busluess
of that sort, and If we do not end It,
If we do not do the beat that human
concert of action can do to end It, wa
are of alt men the most uniauniui
tha most unfaithful to the loving
hearts who suffered In this war, tha
most unfaithful to those households
bowed ln grief and yet lifted with tha
feeling that the lad laid down his Ufa
for a great thing, and, among other
things, ln order that other lads might
never have to do the same thing.
"That Is what the League of Na
tions la for to end this war Justly
and Uion not merely to Berve notlca
on governments which could contem
plate that they will do so at their peril,
but also concerning the combination
ol power which will prove to them
Uat they will do It at their peril. It is
Idle to say the worlds will comblna
against you; but It Is persuasive to
say the world Is combined against
you; The League of Nations
la the only thing that can prevent tha
recurrence of this dreadful catastropha
and redeem our promises."
A League of Nations would hava
prevented the late conflict, tha presi
dent asserted, explaining:
"1 did not mee' a single public man
who did not admit these things; that
Germany would lot have gone Into
this war if she thought Ureal Britain
was going Into It, and she most cer
tainly would never have gone Into It
had she dreamed America was going
Into It. And they all admit that a
notice beforehand that the greatest
powers of the world would combine to
prevent this sort of thing would pre
vent It absolutely."
Applause and cheera greeted
tach declaration of the preal
oaot that wars might be avold
ad lu the future by operations
of the League. He pointed out other
Important features of the Peace
Treaty how It was tha redemption of
weak nations, fling them freedom
which otherwise they never could
hava won; how it says "Thaea people,
have a right to live their own Uvea
under governments which they them
selves choose", snd how "that Is the
American Principle and I was glad to
fight for It", and that waa the vary
heart of tha Treaty, ha aald.
Ha drew attention to the section of
tha Treaty which Is a "Magna Charta
of Labor," which shall dispose of tha
hours, conditions and remunerations
ol labor.
"It foraoasu tha day", ha said
"which ought to hava coma long ago,
when statesmen will realise that no
aakUon Is fortunata which Is not hap
py, whose people are not contented,
eotuanted In their Uvea and fortunata
In the circumstances of their lives".
In oonoluslon tha president said ha
fait oartaln tha Treaty will be accept
ed, and was only Impatient of the da
ta He added: "Do you realize, my
fallow crtlsana, that tha whole world
la waiting on America! Tha ouly
Oountrr l tha world that la trusted
today li tha Unitaa states and the
vaaad Is a waning to sea If Its trust Is
yostthad"
THE OLD FOLKS.
i
'lis iiol so many years ago when as a hoy I played
Amid it) e scenes so dear lo me troni morn nil evening shade;
No place so dear lo childhood days us my uld country home,
Until one day I said goudby and went away to roam.
The old folks said "Cod bless you, my buy, and may you soon return;
Two broken hearts uwau you here, iwo souls will watch mid yearn."
The years have come and gone away, no news from son at home.
No loving message limn the boy who wenl away lo roam.
I wonder how ihe old folks are at home,
I wonder if ihey miss me while 1 roam;
I wonder if ihey pray for their boy that wenl away,
And left his kind old parents all alone;
i hear the cattle lowing in the lane,
And see again the fields of golden grain;
1 almost hear ihem sigh as ihey bade their boy good-by.
I wonder how ihe old folks are ai home.
This world grows weary day by day, I'm lonely and I'm sad;
I long again 10 see ihe scenes I knew when hut a lad;
Tu play with hnle brother as we whiled the hours away,
No thought had we of sorrow then, our beans were light and gay;
I see again the old schoolhouse, ihe church upon ihe hill,
The lane lhai leads lo grandma's house is fresh in memory still;
A wandeiing boy, alone to-night, with thoughts of home, sweet home,
Still wonders how the old folks aie, this boy who went to roam.
