By JAMES A. EDCERTON.

NJ ESPlTE the prevalence Of higher
81 education in America. college
presidents are seldom consider
ed for political positions. Men
like Andrew D. White and James 3.
Angel are conspicuous exceptions, but
their work has been confined for the
most part to the diplomatic service
There is scarcely college head in
either branch of congress or in high
executive station. AS for the presi-
dency of the United States, if we ex-
cept James a. Garfield. who was a
college president for short time in his
early manhood, no educator has ever
been seriously considered for the Office.
Why should we not draft the knowl-
edge, training and high ideals of the
teachers in our government service?
For example, why should not the
trained political economists have some
part in the actual working out of the
political economy Of the nation? If it
be objected that they are only theorists,
then give them a chance to correct the
defect by practical experience Both
the college and the government would
be the gamers, the government in ex-
pert knowledge and the college in &C.
tual contact with affairs.
1t is in this spirit that President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton univer-
sity has been suggested as a suitable
candidate for the presidency of the
United States. Wilson is not only an
educator, but historian, an orator and
a political economist Of recognized
standing. He once practiced law and
has kept in touch with the world of
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-04-23

affairs. He has written standard
American history, and hence should
know the policies and spirit Of his
country.
1t might be said that if the nation
were great university it would be
proper to head it with college presi-
dent; if it were a great business con-
Germ, then banker or merchant should
direct its destinies, but since it is a
collection of people it's president should
be a man. careful study of Presi-
dent Wilson, however, will convince
the most hypercritical that he is both a
college president and man.
Popular Suggestion.
It was Colonel George Harvey, the
irrepressible editor Of Harper's Week
ly, that suggested DR.. Wilson's candi-
!, dacy, expecting it to pass off in the
manner Of the usual Harvey pleasan-
tries. To his surprise it "took." The
newspapers Endorsed the proposition
far and wide, and people wrote in its
favor from all over the land That
was two years ago, and the boom is
still alive. Nothing may come of it, but
in that regard it does not differ from
a large number Of other booms A
suggestion that Immediately strikes a
popular chord and keeps it vibrating
two whole years is worth discussing.
That DR.. Wilson has views, and Wig
orous ones, is shown in his advocacy
Of publicity for the trusts.
IF we are to give them our money!
he says, "they must at least let us
trouble them to see their consciences.
If we could only see the souls Of the
board Of directors and know how much
they weighed, then we would know
whether it would be safe to invest our
money in them or not = We can't
abolish the trusts. We must moralize
them.
"The thing that keeps water in stocks
is secrecy. If this board were taken out
of the sluiceway, the water would all
run out, and then the people would
know what they had left"
President Wilson believes our meth

wrong. It is too haphazard and local

Here is one of his healthy views on
education:

find an education; it's to find himself.
believe the only way to learn
is by trying your mind alongside Of
some other mind and drawing conclu-
sions."
Despite the fact that he is the head
Of a great university, DR.. Wilson en-
joys good stories and tells them. One
Of his best refers to the late President
McCosh Of Princeton. The venerable
McCosh was not given to levity. DR..
Wilson says he never knew him to be
guilty of more than one conscious jest.
It was at meeting Of the Evangelical
alliance. The presiding officer, who
was Baptist, said:
Brethren, presume that, whatever
else our differences may be in demon
national belief, we can safely say that
the Apostles Greed is platform upon
which we can all stand"
Whereupon DR.. McCosh leaned over
to his neighbor, the Methodist minis
ter, and whispered in his rich Scotch
brogue:

He also objects to the wide division
between the different departments of
the government. He would have the
president and his cabinet able to initiate
legislation and would make them re-
sponsible to congress so that they could
be questioned on the open floor. This,
he believes, would give US president

defend, explain, administrative policy
upon the floor of the houses where
such plan would put them. y + This
will be done when the executive is
given an authoritative initiative in the
houses. = * I see no other way to
create national figures"
The present plan he objects to on
the ground that it makes the speaker,
who is not chosen by the people of the
nation, the dictator of the house and
some equally unrepresentative and ir-
responsible boss the dictator Of the
senate. By separating so widely the
three departments Of government we
make them work at cross purposes

unity,
