A Georgia Girl
In the White House.

In Georgia, the women Of that state
have taken by the cry: Lets put a
Georgia woman in the White House"
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is Georgia
girl and the sentiment to make her the
First Lady OF the Land is sweeping
the state like a prairie fire. OF the
situation there the Atlanta Journal
says:
Woodrow Wilson is pre- eminently n
member of our big family Of Georgians
IT was here that his father ministereI
and that he himself spent his boyhood
and the earlier years Of his career.
Here he was married 10 a Georgia girl
and here two Of their children were
born.
II Governor Wilson becomes presi-
dent. as undoubtedly he will, with
Georgia's support for the nomination.
our state will share with Virginia the
honor of having given the country its
first southern president since ante
bellum times. There will be still an
other distinction, however, to which
Georgia's claim will be undivided for
his election will mean that a daughter
of this state will be the First Lady of
the Land. Indeed, we have the rare
opportunity, by voting for Woodrow
Wilson In the approaching primary, 20
place In the White House a family of
our own people.
Florida will be glad to help Georgia
put Georgia girl in the White House.
Florida is for Woodrow Wilson for
president and his endorsement by the
Democracy ON April 80 next will be one
of the most overwhelming ever wit
messed in tho political annals OF the
state.

A Long Step From
Scholarship to Success.

What becomes of the brilliant men OF
the schools and colleges-the studious
fellows who always stood at the heads
masterful achievement when they
should get a whack at life?
AS a rule we don't hear much about
them afterwards. They seem to step
forth from their alma mater into OBJ
security. The brilliancy seems to have
gone off like a slxyrocket in the COM
mencement thesis and only stick
lands silently somewhere on the earth
to tell that they have ever been.
The ordinary fellows. who just man
age somehow to forge through the high
school or college with only one eve
on the text books. and the other on
life, we hear good report of occasion
ally. Somehow they have forged to the
front, following that one eye which
was fixed on actual life.
It's queer. But it's so.
When two or three college mates get
together, FIVE, ten or fifteen years after
graduation. and review the progress
made by the various members Of the
class, they must confess surprise Mt
the fantastic pranks played by tho
world upon the men whom alma mater
blessed with her richest gifts. and
then turned aside to swim or sink.
The man who carried off the elias
medal for scholarship, and for whom
great things were predicted, has per-
maps drifted along until he has sunk
into rut and shows signs that he will
remain hack on a small salary all
his life.
The qualities that promise so bril-
llantly In school are not always the
qualities that count most in the world
The dig" who crammed constantly
and made his poor brain an over
stocked lumber yard. seldom is the
man who rises in actual life.
Something OF a human quality Il
demanded by the world. Men prefe,
the man who has little leisure and 8
little inclination for amusement. The

One Of the most important aids IL

any college curriculum. Some men
even men of brains-never can learl
them.
They come partly by nature an,
partly by contact with the world. Tha

was accounted one of the intellectual
giants of the country, and consequent
ly they had great admiration for
him. But it was admiration in the alb
stract, and it had no personal tinge.
A mind picture Of g person thus
heard and read of, but not intimately
known, is often faulty drawn And
so it was with regard to the popular
conception Of the human side Of
Woodrow Wilson. He was limned as
one who held himself more or less
aloof from his fellows as a clustered
student whose heart had not been
warmed by contact with all sorts and
conditions of men. He was understood
to be cold of blood, an aristocrat by
birth and environment.
In the popular mind 1t was felt the
governor would adorn the Office and
would probably give good admins
tration, although there was little hope
that the people of the state would de-
rive much benefit, but it was not felt
that he would become a peoples gov
ernor, one who would enter whole
sculedly into the hopes and aspira,-
lions of the struggling masses.
How false this conception was grad
uaIly became evident until now, after
fifteen months of awakening under
standing, Woodrow Wilson stands the
most popular man in the state, the
most popular executive in the history
Of New Jersey. In these fifteen months
the human side of the man has be-
come known and perhaps developed.
His geniality, his humor, his big
heartedness, his love of humanity,
nave melted away the fogs of misun-
derstanding and his true worth is
known and realized.
1t was largely through this open
door" dictum of Governor Wilson that
this Misrepresentation was removed
Visitors during the earlier days of his
administration We're startled to find
him so approachable. They were still
more startled when they found them
selves met at the threshold with q
smile and warm handclasp, and they
left the governors office In a maze OF
wonder after an interview which more
likely than not had been lightened BY
the relation Of some sprightly story OF
some whimsical rhine.
Il am Democrat both with a bis
ID, and a little d, ;" the governor has
said, and that gives a true concep.
ton Of his character.
