MARTHA HEARD has been on a

around her head and another crossed
fichu fashion over her ample bosom.
Martha has been showing Mrs. Taft
and Helen Taft how a good old south

Ter own game.
Martha went to the White House as
the maid of young southern woman
who visited Miss Helen Taft.
When preparations for a great din
ner began at the White House Martha
was in her element. Herself one of
those famous cooks whose art has
made the hospitality of the south ira
ditional, Martha asked to be allowed
to have a hand in the preparation of
the menu selected by Mrs. Taft. That
gracious lady readily gave her con-
sent, and for the first time since the
days OF Andrew Jackson the savory

BY WOODROW WILSON.

This is a matter that l am glad TO
talk freely and fully upon. Some leo
pie who do not know me we'll might
be misled by some of the statements
that are being published in ncwspa-
pers opposed to me. Nothing l have
ever said, IL taken in its proper con-
text, can by any stretch of the imag-
ination be construed as opposing Ia
Dor or labor organizations. The pub.
lished quotations | have seen are uI-
fair because they are removed from
their proper context and, as stated,
do not represent my opinion.
We have, in this country, labor
question. 1t exists as reflex, re-
suit OF the misuse OF capital. There
Is un-Americanism amounting TO all
archy at the extreme ends OF both Ia
Dor and capital in this country | am
as much opposed TO the one as the
other. They do not represent either
good business, on the capital side, or
honest labor on the other side. They
menace what we of this country hold
dear.
Union labor Is an absolute economic
and social necessity and Is to be ell
couraged and fully acknowledged. IT
must be remembered that In the first
instance unionism was defensive and
today collective bargaining Is tho ficst
hope of the wage-earners employed by
great corporations.
Today the labor question underiies
every other question. There Is no
business that is not touched TO the
quick by the question OF jusdce to
the laborer. II is not question or
putting the laboring men in position
OF advantage as compared with other
people: IL Is a question of seeing TO
II that he Is not put into position or
disadvantage with respect to other
people.
II Is easy to put the laborlng man
into position OF disadvantage be-
cause the laboring man lacks In most
circumstances what are always the
sinews of war-money. Men with
money are more prominent than men
who have no money, and mans IN
fiuence spreads In proportion to MS
means. Men with money can usually
take care OF themselves. Therefore
il is the particular, primary duty or
lawmakers TO see to- It that man
who Is at a natural disadvantage ID
not at a legal disadvantage. That IS
one reason we approve OF labor
