ABOVE SELF
HONOR, WILSON'S MOTTO


Scotch-Presbyterian minister, whose
family came to the colonies in the ear
ly days to escape religious oppression.
His mother was Jessie Woodrow,
whose forebears, for so years, carried
the banner Of religious insurgency In
Scotland.
Wilson's father and mother began
life In Ohio, but were soon sent into
the south, where the minister held
pastorates at Staunton, Va, Augusta.
Ca, Columbia, s. c., and Wilmington,
N. c. Tom Wilson was born at
Staunton, Dec. 2S, 1856. He received
his early education from his father
and in academies in Augusta and Co.
lumbia.
In 1875 Tom was ready for college,
and his parents packed him off to
Princeton.
Shows Craftsmanship Early.
What Wilson thought and studied
through his young manhood-and his
early bent for, politics and government
lis well shown by an article he
wrote in his senior year for the high
brow magazine OF the day, "Interna-
tional Review" II you will go to any
large library and look up the number
for August, 1879, you will find therein
rip-snorting piece entitled Cabinet
government in the United States" by
Thomas w. Wilson. You will think
you're reading one Of Vic Murdock's 5
speeches against Cannonism. For In
stance, you'll find this:
Congress is a deliberative body
in which there Is little real delibera-
ton; legislative body which legis-
lates with no real discussion of its
business. Our government is prac-
tically carried on by irresponsible
committees.
THE most important, most power
ful man in the government OF the
United States is the speaker of the
house OF representatives.
Almost absolute power has fallen
into the hands OF men whose ire
sponsibility prevents the regulation
OF their conduct by the people from
whom they derive their authority.
1T is not enough that the general
course of legislation is known to all.
Unless, during its progress, II Is sub
jected to a thorough, even tediously
prolonged, process of public sitting,
to the free comment of friend and foe
alike, to the ordeal and battle among

act OF open legislation may have its
real intent and scope commuted by
its friends and undiscovered by Its
enemies, and It may be as fatally mis-
chievous as the darkest measure OF
an oligarchy or despot."
This, mark you, 33 years ago, out
OF the mouth OF a Princeton student
but 23 years old. This was the sort
OF doctrine Tom Wilson was preach
ing-and living UP to-when Vic Muir
dock was a babe in arms.
Wilson took his law course at the
University of Virginia and afterward
tried to practice law In Atlanta, but
after a year gave II up-because a
man couldn't make commercial sue
cess of the law and hold Independent,
progressive ideals at the same time.
He became professor OF history and
political economy at Bryn Mawr In
1885; in 1888, he was called to the
same chair at Wesleyan university,
Middletown, Conn. and In 1890 he
was made professor Of jurisprudence
and political economy at Princeton.
In 1902, when the presidency OF the
college became vacant, Woodrow VIII.
son was unanimously elected, and he
straightway set on foot Democratic
reforms that shook Princeton TO its
foundations.

H. M. DEARING TELLS HOW
BANK WAS WRECKED

In a statement given out by II. M.
Dearing. cashier of the defunct AL
bion National bank, he says that the
total losses in the institution amount
to about 100000 or this amount
100000 was put into the Cook com.
pany, which was the cause OF the
downfall of the institution; $4,000
paid out to the stockholders in the
bank for dividends which were not
earned; $4,000 involved in the Young
losses, and $4,000 in unpaid interest
on the notes which have been carried
for years.
The difficulties of the bank go back
to 1876, when the Union Windmill &
Manufacturing Co. was organized. II
went into bankruptcy after a few
years, and the bank bid in the prop
erty. writing off the paper that 1t had
on hand under the order OF the COM
missioner and replacing 1t with new
paper of the Albion Windmill & I'm
plement Co. When this company
failed the same process was neces-
sary and the Cook company was
formed. Not dollar was paid into
the company, the entire capital stock
being issued to dummies for the bank.
The bank furnished all the money to
keep the concern going.
To cover up the payment OF un-
earned dividends out of deposits and
also the other practices used to keep
the bank going. Dearing states that
he removed pages from the ledgers.
H. NJ. Dearing and his son, p. M.
Dearing. are In the Wayne county jail
awaiting trial for the wrecking of the
bank.

THAW EXPECTING
TRIAL At LEAST
ONCE EACH YEAR
Present Test of Sanity Costs
New York Taxpayers
Nearly $4,000.

NEW YORK, June 23-Several re-
markable facts were developed in the
county court house at White Plains in
the week just closed during the pre-
liminary legal skirmish to determine
whether Harry X. Thaw, the slayer Of
Stanford White, the noted New YORK
architect, has regained his reason, and
may be liberated from the State asylum
for the criminal insane at Matteawan.
Possibly the most amazing develop
ment was the declaration by Thaw him
self that he expects one trial a year.
This was not made by Thaw in court,
but was introduced in evidence through
letter the homicide wrote several
months ago to Governor Dix and with
held from the public by the States
chief executive. In this letter Thaw
says:
Even those who have spoken most
vehemently against me grant me the
right to one trial of sanity each year,
yet have gone almost two years with
out hearing. l may inform you that
long before this we should have had a
hearing had my counsel not been too
much occupied with other business of
his now"
This is highly interesting in view OF
the circumstances that this Is Thaw's 6
third hearing and will cost the tax
payers anywhere from 5000 to $50 900.
William T. Jerome will receive $4,000
for his services as prosecutor, the
States aiienists will receive as much
| more, and the detectives are quite likely
| to send in bills for several thousand
| dollars more.
These sums are but starters on the
| long expense list. II Thaw is remanded
and comes up again next year the peo-
pie will pay the piper high fee.
All the fuss and great expenditure is
being made to determine what on the
face of 1t would seem a most simple
fact. It Is whether Tliaw is sane. II
he is not. he must go back to Mattea.
wan. II he is, and the justice 80 rules
| then he will be at liberty to go wher.
ever he pleases. and spend his enormous
| fortune as he Wills.
Justice Keogh, before whom the case
| is being tried, sits each year upor
scores OF similar actions. They differ
| only in that there are no high priced
| alienists, days of testimony taking. and

LETTER GIVES GAS
COMPANY CLEAN
BILL OF HEALTH
He Says Product Is Best in
Country, and That Stock =
Is Waterless.

Asserting that there was nothing
about the Washington Gaslight Com
pany or its business that the District
committee is not welcome to know,
Joseph Letter, president of the COM
pany. testified yesterday that Wash
ington has the best gas In the country.
He was positive that under present
conditions the company cannot sell gas
at 75 cents profitably. James S. Nell
benny, the company engineer, said that
sixteen candle-power gas was as good
for all practical purposes as twenty
two candle-power gas and could be
manufactured cheaper.
In response to a question from Con-
gresham Lobeck he said the gas Of
lower illuminating value could be sold
cheaper, although he did not think the
difference would be large. f. G. Run
yon, District gas inspector, was not Iii.
clined to believe that an extension OF
the powers Of inspectors would aid the
consumer.
T. S. Tincher, superintendent of the
plant. the fourth witness who appeared
cussed carbon monoxide troubles and
said that a great Improvement In con-
ditions could be brought about through
more careful inspection and the ex-
Mr.. Letter declared that dividends
would stop IL gas were sold at 70 cents.
He said afterwards that some slight re-
turn might be paid. but that the per
cent allowed under the decision in the
Consolidated Gas case could not be
paid.
The profits Of the company decreased
over 100000 last year, and the showing
would have been less favorable had all
depreciation been charged off, he said
The plant has not been materially i'm
proved in the last year or two, he tes-
tiied
There is no water IN the company's
stock. according to the president. The
Etock was paid for in cash and the
plant Is valued at s13. 100000. The ex.
act valne Of the plant cannot be de-
termincd. he said. because Of faulty
bookkeeping in the early years of the
company. now a half century old.
The company pays "a per cent on a
capital stock of 81, 400, 900. The value OF
the plant Is more than five times this
amount. he said

strike is shown in an exhaustive re-

resolution introduced by Congressman
Gregg OF Pennsylvania
Much of the matter included In the
report was made public at the time of
the strike. The report has been open
to inspection since it was compiled.
However, it's appearance in Congress
will probably lead to it's publication,
