w-ha. he was talking about.
This is the text of the private let
ter which DIR. Woodrow Wilson wrote
to Mr., Joline, and which may cost

"My Dear Mr.. Jolinc:
"Thank you very much for sending
me your address Mt Parsons, Kan
before the board OF directors OF tho
Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway
COMPANY. I have read 1t with relish
and entire agreement. Would that We
could do something. at once dignitled
and effective, to knock Mr.. Bryan
once for all into a cooked hat.
"Cordially and sincerely yours.
Woodrow Wilson.
"Nfr. Adrian IT. Joline."
The address referred to in tho let
ter was reported in a st. Louis paper
and then issued rs a pamphlet. AT
the time of it's delivery, Mr.. Joline
was president Of the railroad named.
In the address he alluded to Mr..
BRYAN as n busy man who had never
u,yen any real consideration to the
revaluing of the railroads.
lie also spoke of the drive at the
railroads as n "socilaistic. populistic,
anti-property crusade-the cry of the
an,ious against the well-to-do."
Mr.. Joline collects autographs; he
added this Wilson letter to his col
lection, and dismissed it from his
mind. Last G the New York Times
says. he happened to come across IT
again. In view of the developments
in Democratic politics since it was
written, it struck him as a bit comi-
cal. In the innocence of his heart
not meaning or thinking n harm
he showed it to one OF his friends.
The friend talked, of course: they al
Ways do in such cases. The secret
was out; the mischief was done: the
fat was in the fire. When he found
the metropolitan newspapers in full
cry after his autograph letter, Mr.. Jo-
line was "much disturbed" Recently
he refused to show the letter to the
New York Times reporter. But by
the next day he had decided to pub
lish all Of it but the last sentence. DIR.
Woodrow Wilson was consulted per
telephone. II think you ought to pub
lish the whole letter." said the doctor.
And then Mr.. Joline published 1t.
Chronologically. Saturday DIR. Will
son had no recollection Of the letter:
Sunday he did not feel lik talking
about it. ITO be quite frank" he said.
II d. not feel that it would be quite
digniied for me to make a statement
concerning such a matter brought to
my attention in such a way. 1t is pos
sible that I may hav something to

an did not feel like talking about the
letter. He knew nothing Of its ex-
istence until told Of it by "a newspaper
