General Criticism of the Road.

Establishment of safer and more EN-

dangerous and it ought not to be per-

President Wilson has no particular idea
for disposing of the several hundred

signature. He does it occasionally when
he arrives at his office early in the morn

sometimes in the afternoon when there
is a spare minute. but not often at night.
He is not a night worker He reserves
the evenings for pleasure with MS ram
ily or friends or for reading. He does
not care TO consider business at night
unless the circumstances warrant
If he calls democratic congressional
leaders into conference with him, IT Is
because he feels it is essential to have
prompt action on some pending ques-
ton. He Is not a man to defer pubic
business He gives it mature thought.
but beyond a reasonable time for this
he does not go. and then comes action.
