CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK.
BOpi
Tnis is Children's Book Week at
our public library,-. If the parents
and those interested in the education,
and the proper entertainment of
children could but realize the impor
tance that' books, hold in the lives of
our young people we would not need
to make an appeal for special contri
butions. Give your child . a book,
place it in the library where other
children may share in its profit" and
enjoyment. V
, What Books are Needed?
All kinds, reference, nature stud
ies, biography, travel, stories. " Chil
dren will read almost anything if it
is attractively presented. With the
wealth of books .published specially
for children one can scarcely make a
mistake in a selection.'
If you find that not convenient we
would be grateful for money, just the
price of a book. We have a compe
tent librarian and a library committee
who are' deeply, interested?, jn the
wholesome instruction and' entertain
ment of the children of the commun
iy, you can safely leave the choice
to them. Our schools are doing all
they can, but these active Tyoung
minds need something ' more V than;
mere text books. , i
Help us to give it to, them make
our children's department a matter
for honest pride.

Says "Amiable Phrases" Will Not
,1 Bring World Peice.
k:,Washngon, j Novv 11. WoodroW
Wjlfeon told a host of friendsand ad
mirers who made an armistice day
visit to his home here today that world
peace could be brought about only by
active co-operation for justice" and
not'by amiable phrases." . America
always has stood for justice, he de
clared, adding that the "puny per
sons" now standing in the way would
nna presently that "their weakness
is j'no match for the strength of a
moving Providence.
Ho".
" The former JPresident spoke 'stand
ing on the portico of nis S Street resi
dence and without manuscript or
notes; His remarks consumed about
live minutes. They were the first he
had made on public-questions since
he" was stricken on bis League of Na
tions Jour of the West three years
ago. This was his third public ap
pearance, since he left the White
House on March 4, 1921.
v The appearance of Mr. Wilson was
the signal for prolonged cheers, the
war-time President responded with a
Smile. Mrs. Wilson did not accom
pany him. ' ..'
Mr. Wilson's address was in re
sponse to one delivered to' him by
Henry Morgenthau, former Ambas
sador to Turkey, who declared that
the principles enunoiated by Mr. Wil
son' during the, war would prevail
and that on last Tuesday it had been
demonstrated that "the people of
America are escaping from material
ism and selfishness and are preparing
again to recognize Iheir solemn and
inexorable duty towards their fellow
rfatlons in Europe."
This reference to the elections
brought a smile and a low cry, of
"Hear! .Hear!" from the former
phief Executive
Manifested.
In his remarks, Mr. Wilson spoke
; clearly and distinctly and with much
i of his old time rapidity.
"I am very much moved by this
j wonderful exhibition of your friend-
! ship and approval," the former Presi
dent said, "and I have been reflecting
today that Armistice Day has a particular.-significance
for. the United
States because the United States has
remained contented with the Armis
tice and has, not moved forward to
peace.
"It is a very serious reflection that
the United States, the great origina
tive Ration, should remain contented
with a negation. Armistice is a ne
gation; it is a standstill of arms; it is
a cessation of fighting and we ate so
bent on a cessation of fighting that
we are even throwing our arms
away.
"And I have also been reflecting
upon the radical difference between
armistice and peace. Armistice, as 1
have said, is a mere negation; it is
the refraining from force. But peace
is a very positive and constructive
thing' as the world stands nowadays,
because it must be brought about by .( munication, even with the non-exis-the
systematic maintenance of a com- tent, was necessary. On such occa
mon understanding aijd by cultivation , sions the American consul at Geneva
not by amiable phrases but the ac- j would lay before the Secretary Geni
tive co-operation for justice, and j ral of the League a piece of paper on
justice is a greater thing than any i which was written a message address
! kind of expediency.
America Will Alway Stand for
' Justice. .
"America has always stood for jus-
tice and. always will stand for it.

ATTITUDE TO LEAGUE ,
HUMOROUS FOSDICK
Aaalyses Relation of America to
World Organization and De
mands Real Cooperation.
(From the New York Churchman
Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick in a
recent address, said:
The relations of our government
to the League of Nations are thor
oughly humorous.
After voting by a plurality of
seyen million for the idea put forward
on the authority of the 31 that the
quickest way into the League was to
elect Mr. Harding President, the pew
Administration was paralyzed with
fear of Senators Johnson and Borah
and a few other irreconcilables. So
after that eminent member of the 31,
Charles E. Hushes, became Secretary
League. They received neither ans
wer nor acknowledgement.
When the League's Commission on
the Opium Traffic asked for infor
mation from the government on
American consumption of the drug
and of our methods of controlling
the evil, it received not a word in
answer, although the information was
immediately at hand in Washington.
The Commission absolutely needed the
statistics and information in order
to get a world-wide view of the situa
tion. Finally the League asked the
Dutch government to ask our govern
ment for the information. America
supplied Holland with the data, and
Holland transmitted it to the League
Commission !
The flood of criticism against the
government's discourtesy in not an
swering the League's communications
in time led to a most curious way of
communicating with it. For some
1 esoteric reason the administration
was not yet ready to recognize that
there was such a thing as the League
of Nations in the 'world. However,
there were times when some com-
ed to nobody and signed by nobody,
j The text, however, supplied the in
. formation desired. Now the United
States answers the League's notes.
jThis government does not answer
, them particularly graciously. The
letters are curt, but at last the gov-
erament is recognizing the organiza
tion which represents seven-eights of
the entire, world. Within the last
.three weeks the United States has
gone still further. President Hard-
felt called upon to explain with great
metioulousness that Miss Abbott Was
a' purely unofficial member of the
Commission. Her appointment did
not mean that the United States 'was
officially sharingin the work of this
accursed organization.
America must enter more and more
fully into (the, great humanitarian
work of-the League of Nations and
also ought to become a participant in
the World Court as soon as possible.
It should be iosslble to J work out
some formula by,jhich the United
States cqnld accept the Court's jur-
i;,.rction even though w are,' not in
f Lerrue. - The fcntT. nientil'ldea
BAR ASSN. PAYS
TRIBUTE TO
w. a. snini
WHEREAS, we, the .members of
the Hendersonville Bar Association, .
have learned with unfeigned grief of
the death of our townsman and fellow Y
member, the ' "Nestor" of our bar,
WILLLAM ALEXANDER SMITH, at
his home in his beloved LaureiPari,
on the 80th day of October, A. D., 4
1922, in the 69th year of his age and
the 47th year of his practice of the
law; and, .
WHEREAS, we desire to bear tes
timony to the learning, ability and
fworth of the deceased as a man, and
our, appreciation oi and affection for
him as a citizen and fellow member
of our profession; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE
SOLVED: First : Thatf the Hendersonville
Bar Association has had no more
learned member or one who practiced
the profession with -greater' ability
and skill than our late associate; and
Second: That the life of our fel
low member has been, and will be,
an inspiration to as, commencing as
it did amidst privation and toil, it
culminated in a success vouchsafed
only to those who. combine industry,
fidelity and talent; and
Third: That Mr. Smith was the
premier citizen of Hendersonville,
and to whatever extent this city may
build it will be upon the foundation
laid by him, the construction of which
was often fraught with discourage
ment and opposition; and
Fdurty: That bur'depared bro
ther was possessed with a kindly spirit
and friendly disposition, was quick
to forgive and to make amends, which
endeared him to all of us, who mourn
his loss a s4tiend and brother; and
jnnn: ;ina Brother Smith was a
most devoted husband and father,
who so lived for his loyed ones and '
so Unmindful of himself, that "gene-'
KjtyVnd selfacrifice stood outts
prominent "virtues of his character : -
ixth: That Brother Smith was a
patriot, tried and true, who, in the
time of his country's peril without a
murmur, sent his three sons to do bat
tle with a mighty foe; and when the
son who had chosen his father's pro
fession, and to whom he had looked
forward as his partner in his post
meridian years, made the supreme
sacrifice on Flanders Field, our bro
ther, while his heart was sore and
bleeding, was never heard to utter a
word or syllable of resentment or dis- 8
trust, but sustained by his indomit
able courage, held his head erect and,
soldier-like, marched forward; and
Seventh: That, exalted in the
practice of the law, untiring in the
labors for his city, true in the love
Of his friends, happy in the devotion
of his family, courageous in his loy
alty to his country, serene in his
faith in his God, WILLIAM ALEX
ANDER SMITH, lawyer, citizen, '
frend father,' patriot and Christian
has fallen asleep. Requiescat in
pace!
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
First: That as a tribute of our
esteem and affection for our departed
fellow member and brother we re
quest His Honoj, the JudgePresid
ing, to order that these resolutions be
spread upon the records of the
Court, and. that a page therein be set
apart for that purpose, and that they
be. given to' the press for publica
tion and
Second: That we further request
His Honor to now adjourn the Court
in honor of and as evidence of our
respect and love of Brother Smith;
and
Thirds That a copy of these reso
lutions be furnished the wife and v
children of our lamented brother with ,
our deep and heartfelt sympathy in
their great bereavement and irre-
parable loss. '
