FINDS EDITORIALS
ON TARIFF USEFUL
President-elect Wilson Declares
Statements in Newspapers
important.

PRINCETON, Nov. 9.-"Very USE
full and important, indeed" was the
comment which President-elect
Woodrow Wilson made today on
array of editorials, statements and
declarations of prominent persons
published in various newspapers .ad-
vocating OF opposing an extra session
of Congress to revise the tariff.
Are you going to take all these
clippings with you on your vaca-
tion?" he was asked. ooh, no." re-
piled the Governor. i've read them
already The newspapers are GER
tainly helping me in my listening pol
icy."
The attention of the President-ele
was called to an argument in an edi-
torial that inasmuch as he had not
received a majority of the popular
vote and that since both the Repub-
lican and Progressive parties favored
a policy of protection, therefore the
country had voted against tariff re-
vision.
That's queer reasoning" remarked
the President-elect. 'They overlook
the fact that many State legislatures
went Democratic, which means Demo-
cratic senators, and likewise that
there were a great number of Demo-
cratic congressman elected
Mrs. Wilson went to New York to-
day to do some shopping.
Governor Wilson has an
nounced that he will leave
Princeton next week "for a
three or four weeks vacation" and
that he will go where he will be
entirely out of touch with political
leaders and politics. The Governor
asked that no mention be made of
his destination or the exact period of
his trip. 1t can be said, however,
that the arrangements he has made
will make it practically impossible
for office seekers or even for political
advisers to reach him. The trip will
preclude him also from discussing
his cabinet with anyone and, there
fore, from arriving at a conclusion
as to its personnel. 1t can safely be
said that the President will not
even consider the cabinet question
until about January l.
The Governor has entered into his
plan of being a silent listener with
vim. He declines absolutely to dis
euss politics. Strangely enough there
have been very few visitors. Office
seekers have been conspicuous by
their absence. The people seem to
understand that the Governor IS
tired and needs a rest. Even those
who write letters to him, and there
are thousands of them, apologize for
adding to the number.

the white prisoners in the county Jail
when they learned that Johnson had
not been locked up in the negro sec
tion of the cells became so great the
turnkey took johnson to the Jail hos
pital until a cell could be cleaned out
in the negro section.
Johnson was much annoyed by the
epithets shouted at him by other pris-
oners and by the necessity of being
locked up with members of his race.
Jack Johnson's first night in the
Cook county jail netted him six
hours sleep.
You know I've been disturbed
whole lot in the last month or So"
said the negro pugilist before re-
firing after his efforts to obtain
freedom had been frustrated by ir-
regillarities in BAN bonds that were
intended to hold him for trial on
charges of violating the white
slave" law.
johnson was assured that he would
not be disturbed. When he awoke
six hours afterv ard he declared that
he had passed a restful night. He
was eager for q sight If the news
papers and bought a copy of every
one available.
A request by the pugilist that he
be ysmoved to larger cell was de-
MED.
Johnson, docile up to the moment
of his arrival at the doors of the Jail,
became enraged over the. effort of a
photographer to take flashlight pic
ture of the handcuffed giant. The
photographer was about to set off
the flash when the big pugilist, snort
ing with rage, lunged forward and
struck the photographer with the full
swing of his ponderous walking stick.

buildings, if a suggestion of William

MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS

What the Production Of Great
journal Involves.

The ordinary reader, as he opens hia
daily journal. is content with vague
feeling that it somehow edits and com.
poses itself; he seldom reflects upon
the immense amount Of organization.
upon the care In the selection OF news,
and even upon the mechanical skill in
adjustment so that every column may
xbe exactly filled, which are required
1or even the most normal issue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which it all has to be done. That q
great paper should appear morning
after morning generally correct In its
news, readable and sound in it's liter
AIRY matter, accurate In its printing
that It should be distributed all over
Sh country and the world at the right
moment, is none the less a marvel
because it has happened so often that
people have ceased to look upon Il

NAPOLEON III. IN AMERICA
Real Louis Was Not 40 DllapIdated @
He Has Been Pictured BY
Mark Twain.

Probably no written portrait Of the
third Napoleon IL better known to
Americans than that embodied in the
rhetorical apostrophe of Mark Twain
in "The Innocents Abroad" whore ho
contrasts the emperor Of the French
and the sultan Of Turkey at their
meeting in Paris in 1867. It was
thought very fine and stirring at the
time, but it Is picture to provoke
curiosity and amusement today. Mark
Twain described how the future EN-.
peror carried his dreams with him
into exile, how he associated with the
common herd in America, and ran foot
races for a wager, how he walked his
weary beat, a common policeman of
London. That he carried his dreams
into exile, that his belief in his star
never wavered, is unquestionably true.
But it is not quite SO romantic a
figure, not such dilapidated Louis
Napoleon, that we see in the accounts
of more careful historians than Mark
Twain. For example, there is "Inti-
mate Memoirs of Napoleon III" by the
4dLO DdIOu u 1A"OSS. l. kaAAOCo wac uOI
with Louis Napoleon in America, but
1t was from the princes own lips that
he claimed he received the impress
sions Of that visit. Louis Napoleon
came to Norfolk, Va, from Rio de
Janeiro on the frigate Andromede.
The commander, Henri de Villeneuve,
was very kind to the exile, and the
prince thanked him with the words
"You are obliging man who will one
day be emperor of the French, un.
fortunate as he may appear at pres.
ent I shall not forget YOU" The
Andromede arrived at Norfolk March
80, 1887. The prince proceeded
straight to New York and dined at
Gen. Watson Webb's, where he found
General Scott, his two brothers-in-law,
the Stewards, and a number of sena.
tors and statesmen.

be, even, that you will have to give up
your old cat, but you will soon find
the sacrifice amply repaid. For to the
heart OF little bird, cat is the very

Then you must have a feeding board,
on which to spread such dainties as
