The Idealistic Foundation for International Relationships Is Fruit of His Years of Mental Strife and Anguish, By ROBERT J. BENDER ryTTIIE valiant spirit of Woodrow Wilson has passed through * the gateway of adventure, leaving behind *a broken body, symbol of a shattered hope—but leaving, also, vivid memories of the Wilson that was.

Eventually, there may be built upon the idealistic foundation he laid through years of labor, strife and mental anguish, a structure of international relationships such as he dreamed of, but today that dream, like his body, is a mAre shell. Broken friendships and hatreds are a prrtion of the legacy of his militant spirit and dominating character, so his friends prefer to look back to the days when, buoyant, ambitious and .rresistible, Woodrow Wilson was be ginning his climb to fame and misfortune Memories of personal relationships in those days, revealing his character more vividly than the official documents of his career, march through tl;e ruins of his later years. “Governor” Wilson “Governor" Wilson came to Washington in 1013, a tall, lean, angular pedagogue with shoes run down at the heels. In fact Ihe had quite an argument upbn moving into the White House, as to those shoes. He suggested they be repaired, whereas Arthur Brooks, the White House valet, thought they should he replaced. He brought with him a record and a passion for democracy, spelled, as he frequently emphasized, with a small “and,” and like many men who have reached intellectual heights, he started

in early to personally pass on. all matters relating to • government, which more the mark of importance. He was Impatient of trivial things and trivial minds throughout his career and detested office-seekers. Disliked Patronage Asked once what was the hardest and most distasteful work with the presidency, he replie: ‘‘Doling out patronage.” Functioning on the job, the President began applying himself to what he regarded as the major business of the nation's ex^iutive. He had a mbinet, of course, but those familiar with his work knew that whatever of major importance was done by any of his advisers first had his personal O. K. Even the matter of selecting his cabinet he left to his friends and personal advisers. Take for example the case of his selection of Lindley M. Garrison as Secretary of War. With only a few days left before his Inauguration, and the field well combed in fruitless search for the needed man, Joseph Tumulty, secretary to Wilson, was called into conference. Garrison Ig Chosen “What have you found?” asked the President. “Lindley M. Garrison, vice chancellor of New Jersey," Tumulty replied. "Alas, I know him not," Mr. Wilson observed. “He Is all wool and a yard wide,” said Tumulty. So Garrison was appointed. These were also perhaps the happiest days of Wilson's career. His will was done by Congress with obedient promptness; progressive legislation such as the child labor law. the Federal reserve law and other measures he long hail sponsored were passed at his direction. He had time, too, for happy association with men he enjoyed—like the 'ate Senator OUte James of Kentucky and Billy Hughes of New Jersey, frequent callers at his office with anecdotes he loved to hear. Tnen came the war clouds in Europe—the beginning of Wilson's great trials and inspiration for the hope that ultimately claimed him as a victim. He desired passionately to keep out of the war and to bring about, if he could, a peace settlement. There were leaders In Congress who either believed we should not go to war, or if we did, we should go in against England instead of Germany. Lost Stone as Friend When Wilson called the late Senator Stone of Missouri to tho White House one day and told him, as head of the foreign relations committee, that if the Germans sank another vessel with Americans aboard he would sever diplomatic relations with Berlin, he found bitter opposition in Congress and lost Stone as a friend. At this time, too, he lost William Jennings Bryan as a cabinet officer and Garrison resigned as secretary of war because he differed with Wilson on how the army should be brought up to war strength. Re-elected in the 1916 campaign, Wilson entered upon the work of making war and peace which history is called upon to Judge as either damnng or elevating him to a position unsurpassed by any statesman in history.
