AMAZING VIEWS OF DIR. WILSON

ment should be that of an aristoeraey
rather than a de mocracy, that the
children of the working Glasses
should be brought up to do the oirts
work of the world which their par
ents are now doing" and his belief
that the Chinese are more desirable
citizens for this nation than the peo-
ole of other count ries such as Ger
many. Norway. Sweden and England,
seems scarcely to square with the
sentiments which q president OF the
United States should entertain.
To his fayorite puple and close
friekd, Joseph w. Park OF Los An
geles, graduate Of Princeton, and
fellow in social science at Princeton
when Doctor wilson was professor OF
jurisprudence, Doctor Wilson said:
II do not believe in democracy
the rule of the many. believe In
aristocracy of brains not of wealth.
Il %dfsapprove of the Chautauqua
idea, the attempt to give a smatter-
ing of culture to everybody which
results in securing eoneeit without
knowledge.
Il am opposed to the higher ed
ueation for the people;
somebody must do the dirty work of
the world; why sho uldn't the child
rem of the working classes be
brought up to do the work their
parents are o doing?'
Concerning union Tabor. the work
ing men and ONE OF the United
States. Professor Wilson said in the
bacealaureate address to his Prince
ton graduating class. June -, 1909:
You know what the usual stand
dard of employees is in our day. II
is TO give as little as he may for his
wages. Labor is sta nardized by the
trade unions and this Is the standard
to which IT is made to conform. No
one is suffered to do more than the
average can do; in some trades and
handicrafts no n Is suffered to do
more than the least skilful of his
fellows can do within the hours al
lotted to a days labor and no one
may work out OF hours at all or
volunteer anything beyond the mini
mum.
Il reed not point out how econo-
mieally disastrous such a regulation
of labor is. II is so Improbable to
the employer that in some trades it
will presently not be worth while to
attempt anything at all. He had bet
ter stop altogether tn an operate at
an inevitable and inva riable loss.
The labor of America is rapidly
becoming Improbable under its pres
ent regulation by those who have de-
termined to reduce il to a minimum.
Our economic supremacy may be
lost because the ntry becomes
more and more full OF Improbable
s%ervents."
The professors opinion of the
hardy pioneers who settled America,
OF the substantial and thrifty citizen

and especially Utah. from the great
European nations. may be CLEANED
from the following found on page
2f3. Vol. Y. Of Doctor Wilson's
History Of the American People
They fthe ehinese) had no doubt

wholesome squalor in the crowded

their hardy power of labor. their

habits that made them feared and

THE unlikely fellows who came

Every voter in Nevada should con
slider these sentiments and decide
whether one who holds such views
should be chosen PRESIDENT. whether
the people of America may expect
from him the sort of treatment due
from their chief executive.
