PERSONAL LIFE ideal SPEECHES RANG TRUE
Wilson Family Typical of the
Best That Is American.
Governor Admits He Owes Much OF
His Splendid Success to Mrs.
Wison-Proud of Their
Daughters.
BY OLIVER p. NEWMAN,

Author of 1.-The Fortunes of The SUM-"
'"To his wife, whose affectionate sym
pathy and appreciative interest have
so greatly lghtened the labor of pre-
pairing this work, it is gratefully dedi-
Gated by the author"
This inscription, on the hyleaf Of
"The State" Woodrow Wilson's great
est and most pretentious book, is the
best index of the personal life of Gov
Wilson and Mrs. Wilson that could be
found.
The man who has earned the right
to be considered by the people for
their president owes much of his sue
cess to his wife-and he publicly,
boastingly proclaims it. Woodrow
Wilson and Mrs. Wilson arr chums,
professionally and socially, and their
three daughters share in the chumship
Each of the five members of the fam
lily does serious work for the advance
ment of human happiness, each is in
terested in the others. They share the
Joys of labor, and when 1t comes time
to play, they share the joys Of play
riding, golting, tramping, reading and
travelling.
Mrs. Wilson is very pleasant, and
cheerful, and charming, and she ex.
pounds views on the weather with
wonderful vividness, but when it
comes to her husband, to New Jersey
politics to the white house, to woman
suffrage and other subjects on which
the public would like to have her opln-
ions, she is about as communicative
as Pierp Morgan.
And IT'S too bad for she's a mighty
big woman who has done mighty big
things. Like her husband, she is n
southerner, and like him, she was the
child of a Scotch Presbyterian minis
ter. Like him, also she has studied
politics and government from the bot
tom up and she has been her hus-
bands collaboration.
In her youth, Mrs. Wilson studied
painting in New York, and the Wilson
homo contains many beautiful pic
lures from her brush. At Princeton
she was prominent in campus life. For
many years she has been an active
member Of the New Jersey board of
charities and has aided in the enact
ment Of legislation to stamp out tubcr-
culosis and promote the welfare of
children.
Mrs. Wilson'S daughters are now
grown young women, each busted in
her own work. and Mrs. Wilson has
more time than ever to work with her
/ husband and engage in public move
ments. When the girls were young
/ she devoted her energies to home,
making, that her daughters might
grow up to be something besides so
/ ciety girls"
+ Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the old

sylvania Academy of Fine Arts in
Philadelphia.
Jessie Woodrow Wilson, inheriting
her fathers little ID" democracy, went

was graduated and became a settle.
ment worker at The Lighthouse" in
Philadelphia.
/ Margaret Woodrow Wilson, tho
youngest, has talent for music.

cent over what it was sold twenty
years ago. 1t shows
Second That the cost Of lumber is
less than one fourth Of the cost of the
house. 1t shows
Third That lumber has advanced
less than any other item of general
use. 1t shows
Fourth That ""The High Cost Of
Building" in this day is due to the de-
mands of modern life for modern con-
venences, which are now considered Il
necessity instead Of luxury, and not
the high cost of lumber. 1t shows
Fifth That a substantial house can
be built today at practically the same
price it would have cost twenty years
ago. 1t shows
Sixth That on account of the pres
ent practice Of sizing all lumber at the
mill, and building the window and door
frames, and in other ways, that the
labor bill upon the modern house is not
much more than it was when labor re-
ceived smaller wages. Therefore, the
labor bill, especially the carpenter
work, is not materially increased.

Why the Voters Put Faith in
Woodrow Wilson.
Did Not Promise to Secure the Po-
liticaI Millennium, but They
Knew Candidate Was
Honest and Able,
BY OLIVER p. NEWMAN,
Author of "The Fortunes of The Sum-"

Aul1OT OF - ne fortunes OF ! ne sum-
What would you think of candi-
date for governor who would get up
on the stump and say things like this
IF you think my election means
litical ills that beset you, don't vote
for me.
IF you vote for me believing | will
make all wrong right, you'll be disap-
pointed-you'll be cheating yourself"
Crazy sort of vote-catching doctrine,
that, isn't it? Most of the candidates
you've listened to said things like this:
IF you want to cure your political
ills, vote for me. When I'm governor,
everything will be perfect"
That's the keynote of the usual cam
paign speech, but in the biffbang cam
paign that Woodrow Wilson made for
governor of New Jersey it wasn't
sounded once. He said to the people:
Il know what's the matter with New
Jersey and you know what's the mat
ter with it. Its government has been
seized by corrupt corporations and I'M

store the government to the people.
but I'm not sure | can do it. If you
elect me you will show that you want
these forces driven out and I'll do my
level best to help you, but beyond that
you'll have to take your chances"
Wilson was piling up a few thou
10 will q
line of converse when George l.. Rec
ord, a progressive Republican Of New
ark, propounded to the candidate his
now famous list of questions One was:
DO you admit that the boss system
exists as | have described it? If so,
how do you propose to abolish it?'
Here was his answer to that:
"Of course | admit it. Its existence
is notorious. l have made it my bust
ness for years to observe and under
stand that system, and | hate it as
thoroughly as | understand it. You
are quite right in saying that the sys-
tenn is bipartisan, that it has virtual
ly destroyed representative govern
ment and in its place set up govern
ment of privilege. l would propose to
abolish it by the above reforms (pri-
mary law, corrupt practices law, equal
taxation and public service commits
sion), by the election to office of men
who will refuse to submit to it, and by
pitiless publicity"
Another question was:
Does the Democratic platform de-
clare for the choice of candidates for
all elective offices by the direct vote
SYSTEM"
Note the answer:
YES, so understand it. If it does
not, l do"
Yet here was the shot that gave
Smith, Davis and Nugent nervous
prostration:
Question: Il join you in condemn
ing the Republican Board of Guard
ians. Will you join me in denounciAg
the Democratic Overlords as parties
to the same political system?'
Answer: Certainly; will join you
or anyone else in denouncing and
fighting any and every one. of either
party. who attempts such outrages
against the government and public
morality"

Total

The total cost Of extra material used
in this house in 1911 and not considered
necessary twenty years ago adds to the
cost of this house 81 40, and this
amount deducted from the original con-
tract price, leaves 81, 230, as the cost
of this house without the above extras.
We think the above answers the
question as to the high cost Of this
particular house, and this example is
but an illustration Of the facts Of all
modern house buildings. Then, if this
house is built without closets and bath
room, there would be an additional
large sleeping room, for all Of these
rooms would make up at least one
room in most modern houses.
But the most amazing fact is the
following:
The bill for lumber in this house, not
including interior hardwood fnishings,
stairway and front door, was 5000. 90.
Figuring white pine lumber on the
price as sold twenty years ago, and
same margin and profit, the price
would be 5000. %. This shows

day at difference of less than Is per
