WILSON REGIME TO BE ONE OF
BUSINESS.
(By Wayne E. Gilliland, in Hutchinson
Gazette.)

(By Wayne E. Gilliland, in Hutchinson
Gazette.)
Washington, D. C. April THAT
Wilson will be unpopular
as president, in the city of Wash
ington, is a prediction that is made
pretty freely at present. Whether this
is an indication that he will be pOpu-
lar with the country remains to be
sen. The wiseacres in the national
capital that form their opinion that
Mr.. Wilson will be unpopular with
capital society and interests base
their predictions ON some of his re-
cent utterances and actions. At the
same time they point out that former
presidents like ROOseelt, who were
extremely popular with the mass of
people in the United States, did not
enjoy the high esteem of the resi-
dents of the Distric' as did former
President Taft.
President Wilson started his career
in Washington by tabooing social
functions and manifesting a desire to
pay more attention to work than to
society. That didn't set" we'll with
the social lights here. Some of his
attitudes on matters of policy have
already made him more or less UNI
popular with capital folk. Not the
least unpopular move he has made
is his declaration that he will &C.
cupy the presidents room in the
Capitol, from which point he may
take a hand in directing legislation.
Strange TO say this determination Of
the chief executive is not only dis
pleasing to some Of the members Of
congress, but also to Influential men
in Washington who have counted on
their advice in the past as carrying
some weight with the president.
As far as any public announcement
is concerned, President Wilson'S att.
ltude toward certain important items
Of the tariff, such as the kind of in
come tax, the sugar and wool schedul
and the like, is that of openminded-
ness. However, Democratic leaders
profess to believe that he will have
some very well formed opinions ready
when the occasion demands.
Watch Schedule X" is the slogan
referring to the wool tariff, which
has recently attracted considerable at
tentiOn here. This slogan has been
painted as a sign in different parts ot
the city and may be the work of the
wool lobbyists. The tariff bill, prepal
ed by the house ways and means com
mittee, will be examined Friday of
this week by the senate finance CON-
mittee, according to announcement of
Chairman Simmons.
