SEES HOPE IN THE WEST
Woodrow Wilson Looks There
for Nations New Leaders.

RidSeWood, y. J. April 22.-President
woodrow Wilson of Princeton University
gave a lecture before several hundred per-
sons In the Methodist Church under the d.
rcction of the Young Mems Christian AS
so-istion this evening. He was applauded
frequently. His subject was Citizenship
and the Educated Man" He said:
7 believe the country in recent years IS
looking moro and more to educated men. L
know r. IS looking more and more TO col
lese men. The country is awakening to a
decree Of civic consciousness known only
before in the period when the country was
born. We are scrutinizing the men who are
conducting our government. The interest.
ing thing about our politics now is that
men arc not labelled You cannot tell now
from the way man voted the last time
how he will vote the next time. Men are
beginning to ind out that the safe line is
the right line.
The object of the College should be TO
draw Young men apart and let them see
where the undiscovered countries are and
where the great problems are. Questions
are raised in politics which have been set
tied several times. The currency question
is settled about once in every thirty years
1t PAYS to know the past, that we may not
repeat its mistakes.
America Is so big that TO one thing Is
true OF all its parts. It's parts arc I'm
various stages OF development. You can't
include all the states In a generalization.
You must not propose legislation which
will develop one part at the expense of
another.
we are told that some OF the Senators
who are leaders I'm the United States Senate
are about 10 retire. 1 hope this is SO. Their
places as leaders will be taken by gentle
men from parts we call the Middle West,
although it is only about one-third Of the
way across. From this region our new
leaders arc TO come. The point Of view Is
20 shift. We NAV expect this 10 happen"
Every educated man should be indepen-
dent II should be every mans pride to
be no mans man. I think the total num-
Der Of votes in this country Is about l5,-
e0ooo0. How many OF the voters govern
the country? Not more than one-flfteenth
about e0o.o0o. The men you can &c sure
win vote the Republican ticket and the
men you can be sure will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket do not govern the country.
Political managers do not keep awake
nights about you II they know how you
vote You arc captive. If you are in
dependent they will ask: What do YOU
want:' If YOU do not tell them OF some
thing YOU want they are IN despair. Then
they know you want certain principles car
rled out"

RACE AGITATION sUBsIDING
Cuban House Asks Information on
Wholesale Dismissals of Negroes.

Havana, April 1.-The agitation over the
race question apparently is subsiding. 1t is
now believed 20 have been due largely to
exaggerated reports OF the speeches OF Gen.
ersl Evaristo Estcnoz and others IN the
recent campaign I'm the eastern provinces
in the interest of the organization OF the
Independent Party OF Color.
The latest demonstration occurred to-day
when the House OF Representatives adopted
a motion of the negro Congressman. Cuesta.
OF Matanzas. requesting the President %
furnish the House information relative 70
the alleged recent whoIesale discharge Of
negroes from the army and the rural guard.
There Is no evidence that such DISCHARGES
have been made. but II IS we'll known that
the government Is endesvoring to enlist
whites IN preference 20 negroes on account
Of tho great prepondersnce of negroes in
the infantry regiments.

Sharp Denial of Remark Made by

James 4. Patten, having had his say
about his innocence OF cotton bull procliv-
tiles, left here for Chicago yesterday. and
when he gets there he will find a hot denial
of a remark made by him regarding the

Of that firm Mr. Patten said:
"I haven't any knowledge OF how the
