SKETCH OF W00DR0W WILSON'S CAREER 1

r. "Woodrow Wilson was born at Staunton, Va., on December 28, 1856. He is the son of Dr. Joseph R. Wilson, a Presbyterian minister, and the grandson of Judge James Wilson, an Irishman of Scotch descent who migrated from County Down, -'to Philadelphia in 1807. James Wilson prospered and became manager of the Aurora, a leading' Democratic journal. Philadelphia then being the national capital. It was at Steubenville, Ohio, that Joseph Ruggles Wilson, the father of Woodrow. Wilson, was born on February 28, 1822. He was the scholar of Jfemes Wilson's family. Jefferson College graduated him as valedictor ian in 1844, after which he taught school and prepared for the Presbyterian miniBtry at the Western Theological Seminary and Princeton Seminary. In 1849, Joseph R. Wilson married Janet Woodrow, daughter of Dr. Thomas Woodrow, a famous Presbyterian minister of the day, who was a descendant from ancient English stock. The Rev. Mr. Wilson became the father of two daughters before he was called as pastor to Staunton, Va., where a third child, a son, was born and christened Thomas Woodrow. When Thomas Woodrow was two yiears old his father took a pastorate In Augusta, Ga., and soon became one of the most noted ministers of the ouuiu. morougmy equipped as a theologian, and a pulpit orator of power, he early reached and long maintained a position of much influence In his church. When the Civil War broke out he embraced the Confederate cause. r;r! Tommy Wilson, the Augusta schoolboy, is described by Professor John T. Derby, one of his teachers, as quiet and exceptionally studious. The most Important instructor of young Wilson, O n.. i. U mi , however, was his father, A j m i i ... a man of wide Information on the affairs of the world. His father believed that nobody had grasped a thought until he could put it quickly and definitely into words. This he did himself, and this he taught his son to do. As a result Tommy came to learn the written symbols In which speech is set down, he was learning only a method of recording and transmitting a language which he was already well able to handle. The Wilsons moved from Augusta to Columbia, S. C, in 1870, Dr. Wilson resigning his pastorate ot take the chair of Pastoral and Evangelistic Theology in the Southern Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At Columbia Tommy attended Charles Parnwell's private school. At the age of 17 he entered Davidson College at Davidson, N. C. Living at the college was rather primitive; the boys kept their own rooms, filled their own lamps, cut up and brought in wood for their own fires, and carried in water from the pump. Young Wilson joined a literary society and played on the baseball nine, once having the pleasure of hearing the captain say, "Wilson, you'd make a dandy player if you weren't so blame sleepy." He did not finish the year at Davidson, for he fell ill before examinations came on and was taken to his home, now at Wilmington, N. C, where his father had taken a pastorate. Here Wilson took things comparatively easy for a year. Except for tutoring in Greek and a few other studies that he thought might be necessary for entrance to Princeton, he busied himself with reading, looking up the historic points of the city and with the social life of the city. Dr. and Mrs. Wilson's popularity had made the parsonage a social center in the city, so young Wilson's associates, who were practically all older than himself, were men and women of culture and brilliancy. Because of these associations it was an urbane and amply self confident young man who left Wilmington one day in September, 1875, to enter Princeton College. About this time he dropped his Christian name Thomas and became known as Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson attained prominence among his mates in the "famous class of '79." No less than 42 of the 122 graduates of '79 were "honor men" having an average of 90 per cent or better for the four years' course. Wilson barely got , in among them; he ranked forty-first. Besides being a good student at Princeton, Wilson became managing editor of the college paper and was prominent in undergraduate activities. At the age of 32 he Bignalized the closing of his undergraduate days at Princeton by breaking Into the International Review, in its issue of August, 1879, with an article entitled, "Cabinet Government in the United States." The article contrasted British and American systems of government, pointing out advantages in the British. In the fall of 1S79 Wilson took up the law, course at the University of Virginia, where he indulged in a long, drooping mustache, and in membership in the glee club. "She Sleeps, My Lady Sleeps" is shown by old programs. of university concerts to have been one of Wilson's tenor solos. In May, 1882, he carried his law diploma and an oratorical prize to Atlanta, Ga., where he opened an office for the practice of law. The office, however, did not prosper, and after eighteen liesurely months he gave up. The Atlanta experiment, however, was far from eventless. Although litigants gave him nothing to do, be was not idle. He improved his time by securing the promise of Miss Ellen Louise Axson to be his wife. The Axsons were a prominent Georgia lowlands family. The young couple were married In 1S75. In 18S5 appeared "Congressional Government, a Study of Government by Committee" by Woodrow Wilson. The bulk of the labor on this volume was done during Wilson's two-year course in science of government in Johns Hopkins University, which ac cepted the work as a thesis and con

ferred upon the author the degree of Ph. D. In the fall of 1885 Mr. Wilson began teaching political economy to, the girls of Bryn Mawr. From this institution he went to Wesleyan University where he remained until called to Princeton in 1890 to occupy the chair of jurisprudence and politics. In 1902 he was elected president of Princeton. President Wilson made it clear at the start that conditions at the University were to be changed, and. whether for better or for worse, to be changed radically. He stated that colleges needed to be revolutionized and went so far as to say he would endeavor "to graduate students as unlike their fathers as possible." His policies kept him in almost continuous conflict with the University trustees and professors. In fact, the bitterest controversies in the institution's history marked his term. Wilson's friends say it was a conflict between a progressive and democratic president and the forces of privilege and aristocracy. In May 1910, the Graduate College of Princeton University became the legatee of a three million dollar estate which could not be accepted without sacrificing Wilson's policies.' The money was accepted. The president's resignation did not come, however, until after the New Jersey State Democratic convention, on September 15, 1912, had nominated him for the governorship. In the following November New Jersey went Democratic for the first time since 1882 and elected Wilson by a large majority. The spare, well-formed, gray-eyed man started his campaign by ordering the state chairman of his party out of his office, never to return. He also forcefl through a Democratic Assembly and Republican Senate a direct primary and election law which takes the organization of both parties in New Jersey out of the hands of the bosses. Governor Wilson's twenty-five years of teaching had qualified him, he thought, to be a beneficiary under Andrew Carnegie's fifteen million dollar foundation fund for the support of retired college professors. He applied for the pension, but did not get it. When the news of the application and its refusal became public, Gov. Wilson made this statement: "The Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching is not a plan for old age pensions, but for the granting of retired allowances on the ground of length and quality of service. When I had just entered the uncertain field of politics, I applied to the Foundation for a retiring allowance, to which I understood myself to be entitled under the rules adopted by the trustees. - "I have no private means to depend upon. A man who goes into politics bound by the principles of honor puts his family, and all who may be dependent on him for support, at the mercy of any incalculable turn of the wheel of fortune, and I felt entirely justified In seeking to provide against such risks, particularly when I was applying for what I supposed myself to be entitled to by right of long service as a teacher under the rules of the Foundation and not by favor. "I understand that upon receipt of my application the executive committee of the trustees of the Foundation restricted the interpretation of their rule and declined to grant the allowance." As Governor, Wilson changed his attitude toward the initiative, referendum and recall. "For twenty years" said he in discussing the matter, "I preached to the students of Princeton that the referendum and recall were bosh. I have since investigated and I want to apologize to those students. They are the safeguards ef policies. They take tfie power from the bosses and place it in the hands of the people. I want to say with all my power that I favor them." The earliest recorded mention of Woodrow Wilson as a presidential possibility is in the form of a letter written by someone in Indianapolis to the News of that city at the time of Wilson's inauguration as president of Princeton. The faint boom was revived on February 3, 1906. at the Lotus Club, New York, where Mr. Wilson was the guest of honor. On that occasion Col. George Harvey mentioned him as a possible candidate for the presidential nomination. Col. Harvey's magazine. Harper's Weekly, for a time gave ardent support to Wilson's campaign for the nomination; but at the beginning of 1912 this support was withdrawn. Harper's printed this explanation: "The name of Woodrow Wilson as our candidate for president was taken down from the head of these columns in response to a statement made to us directly by Governor Wilson, to the effect that our support was affecting his candidacy injuriously." In the famous Wilson-Harvey controversy which followed, Col. Henry Watterson sided with his fellow editor and declared that Wilson who he had hoped would prove another Tllden, had turned out to be merely a schoolmaster. It was as an authority that Mr. Wilson first achieved a degree of fame outside of Princeton. As an author he is now least known. His largest literary achievement is his five volue "History of the American People." As to his reason for writing the history, he has said: T wanted to make my own conception of American history definite, and I wanted others to see American history and American men as I myself see them." Certain views concerning immigration which Wilson expressed in his history resulted in considerable opposition to him during his campaign for the Democratic presidential candacy. Italians and other southern Europeans took exception to his references to them as "low, inferior fellows." . It was claimed by Wilson's opposition in the campaign that he had commended immigrants from China while

expressing scorn and disgust for Italians. A course of lectures delivered at Columbia University in 198, contained the substance of his first book, "Congressional Government," and they were brought up-to-date by his attempt to show how in the years between 1886 and 1908 responsibility gravitated toward the president of the United States. Mr. Wilson's second book, "The State," is now used as a text book in many schools and colleges. This was followed by two books of essays. Then came "George Washington," and "The History of the American People." Mr. Wilson has made countless educational addresses, and has written a great number of essays on political, educational and economic topics which have never been put into book form. His style of writing is clear and vigorous, and his diction, both in writing and speaking, is noteworthy for its choiceness,

This increase for a summer month is regarded as an exceuptionally good record. The total sales for the past month were $7,204 64 The surplus at the end of the month was $1,892.72, this sum being forwarded to Indianapolis. PICNIC HELD The picnic of the Wayne "County Medical Society was held this afternoon at the Glen park. Practically every member of the society and their families were present. Three papers were read by the physicians, and supper was served at the park. SHOOTING A SALMON. It Was Mighty Exciting Even if ths Fish Did Escapa. Uncle Ben Brown was one of the earliest settlers in Orejron. He was an intelligent man with a keen sense of humor, and his tales of pioneer days always drew an interested audience. This story is one of the most popular; "There used to be lots of Indians on the Rogue river when I came here. And they sometimes did mighty queer things. There is a place above Gold Hill called the Dardanelles, where the river rushes between steep rocks, with a big, quiet pool below. ' "I was camped at the Dardanelles in 53, and one evening a packer came along, going south. An Indian was there with his canoe. He'd been sitting on a stone for an hour or more without moving, watching the big salmon that kept shooting out of the pool, upending like a stick of cord wood and then plunging back into the water. No doubt he was thinking how good a steak off one of those salmon would taste. The packer soon made a bnrgaiu with the Indian to take him over. "The Indian piled most of the pack in the front of the canoe and took his seat in the middle. The white man sat behind and towed his horse at the end of a lariat. The packer had an old, fat barreled, sawed off musket, called a 'yauger,' that the Indian laid across the pack In front of him. Halfway across he stopped paddling and squinted down into the water. He saw a monster salmon right under the canoe. Grunting 'Skookum salmon'.' he dropped the paddle and, grabbing up the yauger. rammed It Into the water up to the locks, took aim and discharged it. "I guess he didn't know that he couldn't blow a hole in the Rogue river with a gun without startling results. The canoe turned over like a flash. Tieces of the old yauger went twenty feet Into the air. The Indian and the white man both disappeared. Presently the packer came up and began tc swim around, trying to collect his goods, sputtering and making severely critical remarks about Indians In general. "The Indian didn't come up for some time. When he did It was near the foot of the pool. His face was covered with blood. In two plunges he made shore on the other side of the foot of the rapids, rushed up the bank and stopped a moment to brush the wet hair hurriedly out of his eyes. Then, with one dazed look in my direction, he exclaimed, 'Hoosh, hoosh! and dived into the brush. He must have thought that the salmon or the gun or the river was bewitched, for I never saw him again on Rogue rlrer. Bo far as I know, the salmon was uninjured." Youth's Companion. Force ef Habit. In New York, during the old Bohemian days of Ada Clare, Harry Clapp, George Arnold, William Winter and the rest, Nat Urner, the novelist, knew every bohemian and bad got so used to pathetic tales of personal distress that whenever he met a man he unconsciously assumed that man to be In hard luck. Meeting Frank Patton one day, he said to him, "Well, how are you, my-dear boy?" "First rate," said Patton; "got an editorial position, got a good wife, got a bank account, and everything is lovely." "Well, said Arnold, "never mind, old fellow. Cheer up. cheer up." A Hino"u Proverb. Help thy brother's boat across, and, lo. thine own has reached the shore! Hindu Proverb.

Imagine a thin, tall, bearded, clean cut individual, black hair and eyes, his complexion ranging in color from that of the negro to Caucasian fairness, clothed in richly embroidered undergarments, over which gracefully full the folds of a finely woven haik or jellaba. his stockinged feet shoved into yellow slippers, on his shaved head a red fez. about which Is wound a spotless white turban and you have a type of tne town Moroccan the Moor. The coarse brown Jellaba of camel's or goat's hair, sometimes banded down through several generations; occasionally sandals and a small, tight fitting woolen cap make up the costume of the countryman, although one finds him oftener barefoot and bareheaded, head shaved, save for the little cne which characterizes the Berber and Kabyle. who believe that at the last day this will be used as a sort of handle with which they will be hauled up to heaven.

Red Letter Events In the Dramatis History of Francs. Perhaps the most striking events la the artistic history of France have been the first performances of some of the great French plays. In a few cases also these occasions have marked the beginning of new epochs In the social history of the country, so close Is the connection between ths social development of the people and its' expression on the stage. Unless Z am mistaken, there have been but six unforgettable first nights since theaters were established In Paris. The first occurred In 1137, when Cornel He's "Cid" took the capital by storm Forty yearn later Racine's "Andromache" created a similar sensation On the eve of the revolution. In 174. Beaumarchals' "Marriage of Figaro" was received with such delirious enthusiasm tbst three people were stifled In the rush for seats. In 1830 Victor Hugo, in spite of the determined opposition of a large body of reactionaries, set all Paris In an uproar with his 4enaL, These names should be borne In mind: Comellle, Racine, Beaumarchals and Victor Hugo., Three of them at least have no superiors In the history of French literature. Each baa one amazing dramatic triumph to his credit. The other two of the six great first nights were the 28th of December, 1S07. and the 7th of February. 1910. The occasions were respectively the performances of "Cyrano de Bergerac and "Chantecler," both by Edmond Rostand. Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
