WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1924 Pays Tribute to Woodrow Wilson, Statesman, and Man of Destiny "The dead need not that we praise them. The need is ours, that we ap- preciate them." These gripping words, referring to Woodrow Wilson, formed the key- note of a stirring tribute paid to the illustrious war president by Rev. James Austin Richards, pastor of the Winnetka Congregational church, be- fore the Skokie school assembly Tues- day morning and the Woman's so- ciety of the Congregational church on Tuesday afternoon. Although the memorial address was prepared in a few minutes, being based upon the news dispatches of Tuesday morning, those who heard it were deeply im- pressed. "Where shall we bury Wilson?" the question awaiting an answer on that day, formed a basis for his discussion. As commander-in-chief of the army during the war, should he lie in Ar- lington National cemetery, or was he, in the final analysis, a warrior on the strongest friend of peace? With this interrogation as a background, Rev. Richards painted a picture of the man and his vast idealism that struck deeply into the feelings of his hearers. In part he said: ; "The dead need not that we praise them. The need is ours, that we ap- preciate them. Put Aside Partisanship "Woodrow Wilson was human and, like every human, had limitations. I do not say this to defend him. He needs our defense no more than he needs our praise. I do not say this in criticism of those who have seen no good in him. TI say it in pity of them and in hope that as we stand in the solemn presence of death we may rise above all partisanship. "Woodrow Wilson was the scholar in politics. That is as rare in Amer- ica as it is common in England. If at times his studious years seemed to lessen his contacts with the crowds of the street, they did bring him to high office with an unusual knowledge of its meaning and they did afford him a power of expression unapproached by all the presidents I recall except Cleveland and unequaled by any since Lincoln. "Woodrow Wilson was the crusader in politics. He was not content just to work the machinery of government. He was not content to busy himself only with secondary issues. Instead, he charged full tilt against the most ancient and monumental social wrong that preys on human kind, and when he fell in the lists he did not whim- per, so sure was he that right will win at last. TOM MIX FILM HERE TUESDAY In addition to this, Episode five of "The Oregon Trail" will be shown. At Friday's performance next week "The Isle of Lost Ships," featuring Milton Sills and Anna Q. Nilsson, will be the stellar attraction. Of this pic- ture "The Education Screen" says in part, "Adventure with a capital A!" The Isle is a great tangle of derelict ships of all times, that have drifted to- gether from all parts of the Atlantic, and now lie bound together by kelp beds, floating in the Sargasso Sea. Into this place of mystery and romance, the auth- or brings his characters Milton Sills does fine work as the naval officer, and Anna Q. Nilsson gives an equally good performance ¥ are . There some very beautiful photographic effects, including excellent scenes of a storm at sea. Maurice Tourneur has produced the picture with his usual vigor and di- rectness. Tom Mix and his famous horse "Tony" will be featured at next Tues- day's motion picture program at Com- munity House, in "Stepping Fast," his latest picture. The action starts in the ruins of the Cliff Dwellers who former- ly lived in the Arizona desert. Mix plays the role of a young cowboy who goes to the aid of a scientist when he 1s attacked by three men. After driv- ing away the attackers, the stranger tells the rancher that he holds the secret of a hidden gold mine which a band of international criminals are trying to lo- cate. The scientist dies and wills the cowboy half interest in the mine and tells him that his daughter in China is to own the other share. This starts a series of action and thrilling adventure which carry the rancher across the Pa- cific to Hong Kong and back again to the Arizona mine.

Some say at Arlington, the great national cemetery across the Potomac from the Federal City where sleep so many of the brave soldiers of the Republic. There is high appropriateness in the suggestion. He was Commander-in- Chief of the army and navy during the World War. He was himself a war casualty, for it was the burden of the war and its resultant problems that broke him down. Expressed Highest Ideal "But it is not all appropriate to bury him at Arlington. He did not love war any more than Lincoln or McKinley. Indeed, he understood it better and hated it more than they. For untold centuries war has been counted the strong man's path to greatest fame and glory. As head of the strongest nation in the world he dared to turn on war and try to smite it. When others were tuned only to hear the waves of hatred and cruelty and revenge with which the air was over-full, he believed that in the air there was also a new ideal- ism crying for expression, a hope and passion to build among nations the same just and reasonable and orderly methods of intercourse that prevail among civilized persons. He tuned for this and caught it and made it vocal for a world to hear in words that our children and our children's children will delight to read. The world and the men and women in it can never be quite so base again since he gave our best idealism its expres- sion. "Where shall we bury him? He seems to have cared but little. The dead need not that we praise them. The need is ours, that we appreciate them." E £ HF = ERA RAE Angeles dancers.
