Henry Watterson has written "A very

the discharge of Harper's Weekly from
the service of Governor Wilson, which
will be found in fun in the Press to-

of the United ~States-and it never was
a very big chance at that-to his own
~overweening self-conceit.
The trouble with Woodrow Wilson is,
as Henry Watterson has we'll said, that
he is more of a schoolmaster than a
statesman. There is "a big difference
between the two qualities. 1t is the
business of a schoolmaster to boss-to
maintain the illusion that he is the
source and fountain of all wisdom and
that from his word there is no appeal,
The art of a statesman is very differ
ent. Ii is his business to fiatter and
conciliate everybody; to make them
believe that they know at least as much
as he does, and that IL they differ from
him it is his immediate duty to revise
his source of information and discover
how he made so great a mistake,
Woodrow Wilson Is not to be blamed
because he has the schoolmaster tenn

and acquired by long practise. But 1t
Is fortunate for the Democratic party
that the fact has become manifest to
his associates before 1t is too late.

Sussex Register
When the craze for Office takes pos
session of a man he will stoop to any
thing that he imagines will aid him in
attaining the object Of his ambition.
In no instance in recent years has this
demoralizing influence had greater
effect than in the case of Woodrow
Wilson. He has shown a Willingness
to abandon the principles of a lifetime,
~retract every public utterance he ever
made that now seems to conflict with
what he deems to be the popular senti-
ment in the Democratic party, and
with the accustomed yea of a new
convert shout aloud on n and all
occasions and bear testimony to the
new faith that is in him.
In 1907, while still president of
Princeton and with probably no thought
of any other presidency in his head,
Woodrow Wilson wrote a letter to
Adrian Fl. Joline, a railroad president,
fully indorsing a speech made by the
latter, which today would be consid-
cred reactionary in thee extreme by the
presidential candidate. In the same
letter he expressed the hope that some
dignifed method might be devised to
knock Bryan into a cooked hat At
that time Prof. Wilson stood with
thousands of prominent Democrats
throughout the country who were OPP
posed to the vagaries of Bryan and
who carried their opposition to the
of voting against him when he
ran for President.
But where is Woodrow Wilson to-
day? SO fierce in his pursuit OF the
nomination for President that he would
accept it upon the widest platform
that might be constructed, and 1t is
humiliating to see a man who was once
considered of presidential size groVel-
ing in the dust at the feet of the same
Bryan whom he once hoped TO see

Dir9e for Wilson Is Written

with Colonel Harvey as one of two or
three men but for whom DR.. Wilson
would not now he in the presidential
race. This story has not yet been en-
tirely told from the New Jersey end,
but it probably will be in due time.
This Harvey incident is sure to pro-
foundly affect the Wilson candidacy
throughout the country. When the
simple fact that the editor of Harper's
Weekly had been ordered to the rear
was published the newspapers generally
seemed dazed and many of them
frankly confessed they did not know
what to think or say about it, save
that it was a wholly unprecedented
occurrence in American politics. The
chapter of the story furnished by Colo
mel Watterson will loosen tongues right
and left, and our Governor will prob
ably soon discover that he has made
a fatal blunder. The revulsion will not
be u so much to esteem for Colonei
Harvey. Most people may not care a
rap for him. But nobody admires a
man who, to quote Colonel Watterson
again, by his conduct in the Harvey
incident, left little room to doubt that
Governor Wilson is not a man who
makes common cause with his political
associates or is deeply sensible to his
political obligations"

Nearly Frightened Commissioners to
Death With ''NitrOgIycerine.

George O'Brien, Granville farmer,
caused a commotiOn in the commission
ers court today, when he dropped on
the floor of the court house a can la
beled 'nitroglycerine. There really
wasn't a..y explosives in the can, but
the commissioners and court house loaf
ers thought there was. And for 10 min
utes O'Brien was in undisputed control
of most of the first floor of the court
house.
When O'Brien came to Topeka this
morning, he brought a sealed can on
which was displayed the name of the
rnissione~s' court and set his can on a
table Members of the board viewed
the Granville man with suspicion.
Suddenly O Brien's arm hit the can and
the supposed load Of explosives crashed
to the flo. No sooner had the farmer
started his nitroglycerine can, then
there was a mad scramble for the doors,
windows and fire escapes In that brief
space of time, brave men became faint
and saw visions of a dim and distant
future
Dut O'Brien's can didn't explode.
When just a wee bit of courage had
returned to the frightened officials,
they looked through a crack IN the
door and saw the Granville farmer
coo11y picking up his tomato can and
shaking with laughter.
Then O'Brien went to the court OF
