Displeased With Invitation.
Lord Robert was not satisfied with

itor of the Wilson Advance and a

erations of the war and of the peace
conference which followed. His
thorough knowledge of public affairs
and of conditions in Europe coupled
with his ability as a speaker gives
weight to his pronouncements on
world peace.

dent of North Carolina and at one
time was employed on the paper which

guidance and helpfulness. It was never the mailed fist of com-

with industry and production. He asked for these and with them
for thrift and the will to make good the losses that had been in-
flicted in the years of strife. He called his countrymen to set
an example of those homely virtues and they did. He gave with-
out remorse of his own strength down to the tragic end. He rose
above misunderstandings and misrepresentations but he was curi-
iously incapable of hard feeling toward those who were unfair
with him. In a time when the minds of many men were prone to
seize upon hurried conclusions he held back and dared to take his
time and thought before deciding. He was free from the pride
of opinion but strong in the determination of conviction. He
had that calm courage which could not be over-pressed but that
was firm and final when decision had been reached.
