ScnOlar, the tnlnker, IS the really 'prac- tical man. the real executive"
 In it's issue of April %, 1911, the Out look speaks of the Geran direct cleo ton law of New Jersey as "a clear in- stance of the way in which the broad CT and more intelligent view is finding expression in statutory law" and says: 'The Geran act is one of the notable achievements of Governor Wilson, for its passage is due to his leadership. It Is a wholesome sign that the people are not content with merely the name of self government, but are determined to use means to secure to themselves the substance"
 Speaking of Governor Wilson's west ern tour, the Outlook Gune 10, 191D says: '"The program of legislation se- cured under his leadership in a single session of the legislature has few par allels in American political history. The people of the United States value a man of deeds as well as words, and, without regard to section or party, have done honor to Governor Wilson because he is a progressive not only in principle, but also in achievement" !"
 The Outlook of Aug. 26. 1911. said: eff he (Wilson) is nominated for the presidency, it will be because of a pop ular demand, not because of skillful political manipulation. As president of Princeton university he combined a resolve that the door of opportunity should be opened to the sons of the plain people with the resolve that the sons of the rich and poor alike should be tested by high standard of scholar ship. His democratic spirit has been well proved; he believes in the people. It is !nconceivable that he should ever be found consciously supporting the special interest against the popular welfare"
 Commenting upon the Harvey epi- sode, the Outlook of Jan. 27, 1912, has the following to say: "On the pub nshed statements of facts, there is nothing in Governor Wilson's course that is incompatible with a sense of gratitude to friend and appreciation of his services. If Colonel Harvey did not want his question answered he should not have asked it. and since he did ask it it is scarcely fair to him (Wilson) to give the impression that Governor Wilson made a statement rather than answered question. The delight with which certain Democrats, as well as Republicans, have welcomed this incident as an injury to Governor Wilson's prospects, is measure of the impression which Governor Wilson has made on the American people as pro- Eressive leader"
 After the letters between Colonel Harvey and Governor Wilson were published the Outlook (Feb. 10, 1912) had the following to say: 'There are two interpretations of this correspond ence. One is that in this instance Gov ernor Wilson permitted himself to be governed by reasons of political expe diency to break friendship in man. ner which he himself has called tact less with a man for whom, since the event, he has expressed personal re- gard and friendship in the strongest terms. If this interpretation prevails the publication of these letters will have an important political effect, be- cause we believe the American people do not care to see in their represent atives any lack of courage in dealing with any evil, such as the evil of per -

Magazine on Which Colonel Roosevelt Ia Contributing Editor Calls New Jersey Governor "a Progressive In Achievement" Apparently the Strongest Democratic Candidate" "AppeaIs to Voters Independent of Party"
 By GILBERT T.. STEPHENSON. Written for the Winston-Salem (N. O
 Sentinel.l
 In view of the fact that Theodore Roosevelt is a contributing editor of the Outlook, 1t must be interesting to see what that magazine thinks of Woodrow Wilson and his candidacy The following are some of the striking statements about Wilson made during the past fourteen months:
 Speaking of the Smith-Martine sena- torship fight in New Jersey and Gov ernor Wilson's part in 1t. the Outlook says editorially under the title "A Vic tory For Popular Rule" Feb. 4, 191D 'The election of James B. Maritime as the United States senator from New Jersey is a double triumph for Gov ernOr Wilson. He has won victory for the principle of popular rule, and he has given a convincing demonstra- ton of the service which the governor Of state can render as leader of his party. By the success of his cam paign for the election of MT. Maritime Governor Wilson has strengthened the movement for the direct election of United States senators. has done much to establish himself as the real leader of New Jerseys Democracy and has made himself one of the most prOmi- nent figures in the field of national political life''
 Contrasting the administration of Governor Dix of New York and Gov ernor Wilson of New Jersey, the Out look Clarch %, 191D says: Governor Wilson Is the proverbial Scholar in Politics. ready. witty and forceful speaker, equipped with knowledge in a wide range of historical and political topics, and accustomed to draw upon that knowledge for the purpose of in struction-emphatically a student, a man whose administrative capacity has been tested principally in an aca- demic capacity. What is most inter esting and significant is that the scholar avows his belief that gov ernor should be leader. and is show ing his faith by his works, while the practical man (DiX) is passing his acts on theory, on doctrines of non-inter- ference and non-relief by his passive ness.

BRANDS T. r. UNSAFE.

CALDWELL, O., May 13.-Presi-
dent Taft branded Theodore Roosevelt
as an unsafe man in his speech here
today. The president began his as
sault on his predecessor at Marietta
and kept it up all along his route.
Speaking in the train shed at Marietta
he said: "If / believed that mere au-
dacity of statements would carry this
election / would fear of the future of
this republic"
The principal talk made here by the
president was on the record of his ad.
ministration and he was cheered when
he declared the Republican party dur
ing the past four years has turned a
deficit of $50,00O,000 into surplus of
$4,000, 900. He scored Roosevelt for
misquoting him and said, 'he should
be visited with the punishment of de-
feat 1t is unsafe to put man like him
into the White House for a third time,
When people approve an administra
tion it has been the custom of the
Republican party to renominate the
president, but only once again.
The same sort of a drizzling rain
that marked Taft's first two days in
Ohio last week was falling when he
began his tour today. Soon after the
special reached this place politicians
and committeeman began to climb on
the presidents car.

MOTHERS HONORED
FROM THE PULPIT
Mothers Day" Was Appro-
priately Observed in Rich
mond Yesterday.

Nearly all of the ministers of Rich.
mond churches delivered sermons al
their morning services yesterday
touching upon the observance OF
Mothers Day.
The Bible Portrait of a Mother,
was the theme taken by DIR. s. r
Lyons. pastor of the Reid Memorial
church. DR.. Lyons discussed the sub
ject from three standpoints-thato oi
the mothers character, her throne and
her reward.
In part he said:
by her character it is shown that
she is industrious. economical, bene
VIOLENT, wise, kindly. strong of body
and beautiful of spirit. Her throne il
her home and her reward is to see
her children rise up and call her
blessed"
Rev. E. G. Howard, of the First
English Lutheran church took for the
subject of his sermon The Best Tri
butte to a Mother" explaining the sig
nificance of the day and its relation
to the development of religious life
He dwelt on the commandment
Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother,
and spoke of the incidents in the life
of Christ relating to his mother
The Rev. Howard said in part:
What is a mothers chief desire fol-
her child? Her chief desire is not thai
the child may become rich, great ol
famous, but that it will be good o
character. and that it shall be the
white flower of a blameless life. anC
that its life shall be a useful one. A
child cannot always obey the counse
of a mother, but il can best fulfil hel
desire by doing well the work includ
ed within it's calling"
The Rev. Graham of the Firs
Presbyterian church spoke of the wo
mans place as related in the Bible
The other ministers also touched upor
this subject.

Famous Journalist Tells Jour.
nalists-to-be Some Facts ,
About the Craft.

Speaking before the annual banquet
of the Indiana intercollegiate Press
association here Saturday night, DR..
Talcott Williams, associate editor of
the Philadelphia Press and head of
the Pulitzer School of Journalism, de-
clared that college education is not
an unmitigated blessing to the news
paper man. DR.. Williams explained to
the college boys who are studying
journalism in the various educational
institutions in the state, the part they
must play in journalim.
That during the time a man spends
in preparation he is alternating him.
self from the mass of the people and
therefore loses the sympathetic view
point that makes him a good journal
list was another statement made by
DR.. Williams. He declared that a col
lege education for journalists had it's
handicaps and that this was one of the
principal ones.
DIR. Williams discussed several phas-
es of the work and the training which
the college journalist must go through
before becoming a successful newspa-
per writer. With a great deal of
warmth he criticised the educators
who are attempting to remove the
classics from curriculums In dealing
with the educational qualifications of
the journalist he said, Without clas-
sizes man can not read the first half
of English literature. All of the old au-
thors who should mean so much are
so sprinkled with classical illusions
that they are useless to one who does
not know Greek or Latin"
The recent move toward greater
classicism at Amherst, Dr. Williams
alma mater, was praised by him. He
stated that the introduction of high.
er standard and strict rules in the
study of dead languages had strength
ened the college along all lines
"The college man can think out and
decide greater things in life than the
average man." said DR.. Williams He
must be the higher artist, who inter,
prets the life that surrounds him. The
college man must be the student after
he gets into work and he must raise
the type of work in which he is en-
gagged. 1t Is the duty of the college
man to keep his diction pure, his Ian.
guage clean and his English perfect. -
DR. Williams exhorted the college
boys to live up to their full capabili-
ties in the line OF journalism and to
do all within their power to further
raise the standard OF ethics in the
newspaper world
Preceding DIR. Williams address
Thomas r. Shipp, vice president of the
National Conservation Congress, who
was formerly connected with the Indi-
annapolis News in a reporotorial capa.
city. spoke to the delegates, mention
ing the connection between college
newspapers and the great reform
movement which is sweeping the
country. He spoke warmly of the
place which higher education must
play in training the generation of the
future.
