he is the only President who
has presided at the White House
who did not possess a liberal eda-
cation either in some college or ON
a farm, where he communicated with
nature and learned natures laws.
l believe either a country education

ceived that liberal education which
nature affords by coming in con-

of nature than can be obtained in a

in the office of mayor or any other

Mr.. Stewart cited Washington,
Jackson and Lincoln as great ex-
amples of great Presidents as the
result of a liberal education. I'm
fortunately the present President
was denied both a college education
and that grand and better education
that came from communion with
the great producing classes of the
country, communion with the pion-
GERS of the West, communion with
those who formed the bone and
sinew of the country, and .commun-
ion with the pure aspirations of free
American citizens. If the present
President had known what Wash
ington knew, if he had known the
people as Washington, as Jackson
and as Lincoln fully appreciated
them, he would not have uttered
the remarks he did. He would not
have talked of the obstinacy of Con-
gress, nor would he have talked Of
having Congress on his hands. He

"Oh! Yes; we cannot hope to have any
field of work to ourselves; the ladies
excel in all branches of artistic work,

the mural painting done about the
various buildings. All they need is a
little more study and persistency, and
they will be prize winners" 1t was
impossible to obtain a reason as to the
non-appearance of the st. Paul women
artists IN decorating the state building,
