Herald in an editorial entitled President Wilson had a Phrophets Vision." The editorial is designed, we take it, to defend President Wilson and his league of nations, but realizing that that visionary document is a thing of the past, and, we fancy, suspecting that his idol Mr. Wilson soon will be, the . editor refers, to the terrible cataclysm into which our nation has been thrust by a stubborn and relentless set of law makers such as our present congress. Terrible, isnt it? A catastrophe To think that both are soon to be layed on the shelf, and the richest and strongest nation on earth, the dictators of diplomacy, the masters of finance and the rulers of industry into whose hands most of the youth and health and energy of the world are found, is now thrust into a terrible plight, which was foreseen by Mr. Wilson. And what is worse, Because of our sins, in not obey' Wilson in President ing electing a congress in sympathy with his views the Great Creator has visited upon us three plagues and the last seems more destructive than the first. First we were plunged into the most destructive war of all ages. Millions of our young men were sacrificed upon the battlefields of France to make the world safe for democracy. Second, this struggle was followed by a terrible epidemic of influenza which swept our people from the earth like a cyclone would gather up the loose linter which might be found in its pathway. But now, third and last, yet more dire than the other calamities is the absolute failure of congress to pass legislature which would give us peace and prosperity for a bleeding and hungry world a world which is crying for help and peace and yet, In the words of the Good Book, There shall be no peace, as long as the reactionary forces control congress. The American who fails to see the hand of the Creator in this calamity certainly has no vision and would not understand prophecy if same were made plain as A. B. C. This too, is terrible even worse than the dreadful cataclysm into which our nation has been thrust a plague composed of congress failure to give us peace and and prosperity for a bleeding and hungry world. We dont like it. The Great Creator is visiting upon us plagues in a. new form, and much to our chagrin we cannot see the hand of the Creator in this calamity in the same light as does our contemporary, and consequently we shall no doubt have to be classed as having no vision and would not understand prophecy if same were made as plain as A.B.C. . The editor then addresses his readers as brothers and sisters of the great state Utah, and makes an appeal to them to throw off these chains of reactionaryism and follow the great progressive leader of all time, Woodrow Wilson j We are willing to grant that President Wilson had an opportunity to carve his name indelibly upon fames high- est pinacle. Everything which patriotism, manhood, womanhood and wealth could offer was heaped at his feet. As one writer has ably put it, the freedom of speech, of the press ahd of assemblage the heritage of a hundred forty freedom were tossed away that years of President Wilson might be untraraelled. Legislation upon him powers as absolute as ever despot wielded, brushed aside precedents and law as old as the courts and country. , In men, in money and in devotion, President Wilson absolutely, ruled the greatest power ever placed in any .. two hands on this planet!
