WILSON ON HIS
WAY To CHICAGO
Speeding Towards Windy
City to Deliver a Speech
Tonight.
THIRTEEN IN PARTY.
President Sleeps Soundly Twelve
Hours-Will Leave For Home at
Noon Tomorrow.

On DO2fQ WllSON opeCioi Soi, Aeai
Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. 11.-President
elect Woodrow Wilson'S lucky "thir'
teen" was again with him today as he
sped across Ohio and Indiana on
Pennsylvania fast train bound for Chi
cago, where he was scheduled to de-
liver a speech at the Commercial
Club banquet tonight.
When noses were counted tbreak-
fast it was discovered there were 13
in the party-the Governor, his STEM
ographer. two secret service opera
tives, an agent of the railroad COM
pany in charge Of the special, an agent
of the telegraph company and seven
newspaper correspondents.
"It's curious how persistently that
number occurs in my life" remark
ed Governor Wilson, "and always in
an agreeable connection"
The President-elect then recalled
that he had started on the Chicago
trip on Friday and noted that he
would return to Trenton on Monday,
the 18th.
, That Governor Wilson had left the
burden of politics behind was shown
by his good humored indulgence in
story telling and small talk with his
travelling companions. He jokingly
chided one member of the party for
carrying a silk hat box, and when ask
ed if he had brought along a "tile, f"
he said:
''I'm like the famous old Hindu,
"Who does the best that he kin do,
"He sticks to his cast
From first unto last,
"And for clothing he makes his skin
do"
The President-elect explained that
he never wore silk hat except when
it was unavoidable as he dislikes
them intensely for personal use He
has not worn one since he was nomin-
ated, but has appeared with evening
clothes and his: steady brown fedora
at the few dress functions he has at
tended.
When Governor Wilson noted the
presence of typewriters on his car,
he said:
~ must have my old machine fixed
up; I've neglected that too long, for |
frequently have occasion to use it."
Governor Wilson is a typist as we'll
as an expert stenographer and for
many years did much of his literary
work on an old fashioned machine.
He intimated that he might write
his first message to Congress that
way.
81 am not especially rapid" he said,
"but get over the ground about twice
as fast as writing long hand"
The Governor critisizes the modern
typewriter, because, he said, "Its key
board was invented by left-handed
man." Most of the letters you need
are on the left side, while mine are
arranged in more convenient manner"
he said. >..
AT 9 o'clock last night Governor
Wilson turned in and left orders not
to be called. He slept soundly for Il
hours. He. expected to reach Chicago
at 9 and leave there Sunday noon on
his return trip.

MORGAN, ART, AND THE ANIERI'
CAN MAN

Perhaps the most wonderful phase
of ]. p. Morgan's genius was not MS
Napoleonic strokes of finance. The
fact that he is probably the greatest
art collector of all times is a still
more unusual distinction.
The American woman is much In
terested in art. Whether because
she feels that culture is a good social
investment. or from real liking, she
is studying art wherever there is a
Woman's Club. But If you provide
a first class lecture on art, you VIII
find rs women present to every one
man.
Nevertheless, in the crowds that
on a Sunday throng the Metropolitan
Art Museum Of New York and similar
galleries in other cities, there are
nearly as many men as women. They
are not prosperous American business
men who left their automobiles at
the door. Rather, they are Italian
or German or other mechanics, in
more or less shabby Sunday best, to
whom beautiful picture makes a
bright spot of sunshine.
Not one in a hundred Of successful
and influential American BUSH
ness men has any trace of that super
lative Judgment for art values that
made Morgan a great collector. The
American milllonaires have common
ly bought their pictures and RAJ j,
books by the wholesale much as they
select their brick and stone.
The American people Will not al
ways be so indifferent. Through the
Woman's Clubs and school pictures
and study, many young folks Sre
coming along who can spot the more
obvious varieties OF artistic sold
brick.
Art ought not to be confined to a
few metropolitan cities. There is
wealth enough for fine collections 10
every state. Mr.. Morgan has galh-
cred IN about all the classic are that
was not nailed down In Europe. But
there is world of beautiful pictures
to be had at comparatively low prlcrA
today, that will become treasures
for another generation.

AN EDITOR AS AMBASSADOR

There are some people, who, when
an editor gathers in an important
office, feel that 1t is not the most
substantial and dignihed choice
Some may thus criticise the appoint
ment of Walter Fl. Page as ambas5a-
dor to England. Nevertheless, jour
nalism does give man unique
training.
An editor has pretty good Oppor-
tunity to judge public sentiment. For
years he has watched the turnings OF
that inscrutable weathercock, public
opinion. Men whose business lies in
other fields will stake their success OF
failure on propositions that are absO'
lutely contrary to the prevailing
modes of thought.
OF course, an editor who really
edits, is never afraid to speak his
mind, even though he knows himself
in minority. But he dr4I not cast
away much of life's blood in the flu
tility OF forlorn hopes. He waits un-
til he can see the fruit begin to ripen
before ne tries to pick 1t.
Most of the shams of life have 10
take of their masks before they
reach the editors chair Which must
be highly valuable in diplomacy.
Mr.. Page, a magazine producer,
has never known the hair tearing OF
evening editions, nor of the day be-
fore a weekly goes to press But his
great success as an editor has come

THE CENTENARY OF THE HIGH
HAT

Sartorial and other experts have
figured that the year 1913 ends a
century during which tAe high SILK
hat has been in style. One sees con-
siderable discussion as TO the origin
of this fashion. :,
According to one authority, 1t all
comes from London, where black
frock coat and high blacg hat seemed
the form of attire best suited for an
atmosphere that was filed with
smoke,
According to others, the real origin
of the plug" hat dates to a far ear
Tier period. They attribute it to the
Assyrians, and consider that the
inter and robe of high priestly au-
thorities were really the parents oil
the high hat and frock coat of today.
The Israelites acquired the custom
when they we're captives of the AS
syrians, and in the middle ages they
brought these habiliments somewhat
suggesting present styles, to the
ghettos of Eastern Europe.
According to this theory, when
later the Jewish people entered the
great centers of population, and by
their hereditary instinct for business
became bankers and tinanciers, they
still carried the custom of the high
hat, derived from the inter of the
Assyrian priest.
Thus high hat became in the
world capitals the symbol of financial
success. 1t was not long before not
merely the bankers, but the bankers
customers, and all who hoped for a
bank deposit, began to wear them.
The high hat custom has seen
some decline of recent years, Bust
ness men wore them very commonly
90 years ago. Travelling statesmen
used to feel that they added impress
siveness and enhanced the idea OF
their Importance entertained by the
prospect"
Today high hats are used phinci-
pally by three classes of people. Pub
lie funcitionaries of prominence, In
dian doctors and circus press agents
and, youthful male persons who wish
to impress the other sex

because he introduced newspaper
methods into the formerly secluded
peace of magazine work.
Mr.. Page has had a sense for hui
man interest that any newspaper
thriller might envy. Instead OF
learned papers about the decorations
on Cardinal Richelieu's snuff-boxes
or the miniatures of Madame de
MaintenOR, he printed articles about
waterways and better farming and
social settlements. Those articles
had to be little cross sections OF vital
human experiences. These are les
sons that the would-be newspaper
man needs to study.

The bright reds, greens aud yellows
