Saye Had Brilliant College
Career and Is Deep Student
of Law and Politics.

WASHINGTON, July 5.--Miss Jes-
chum and admirer of her father. the
President, has not departed from this
role in the circumstances surround
ing her selection Of a husband. For
one thing Washington society has
discovered, with a collective gasp of
surprise, that Francis Bowes Sayre,
the man OF her choice. is a younger
replica Of her famous father, possess
ing the same asceticism OF counte-
nance. the same brow, nose, chin,
eyes and all.
For another thing Miss Wilson fol-
lows her father in laughing down the
time-worn superstition regarding the
unluckiness of thirteen. It matters
not to her that she will be the thir-
teenth White House bride in the
year 1918.
Admiration for Father Deep.
All Washington to-day, following
its discovery that Sayre possesses
something like the Wilson physiog-
nomy, is wondering whether that fact
had not a great deal to do with Miss
Jessies equalization to the young
lawyers suit. Her admiration for her
father is profound. as is that of the
entire Wilson family.
Never did hero. worship exist in so
marked a degree as in the family of
the President, with the President as
the figure for alteration. And now,
after the first shock of discovery,
Washington society is beginning 10
pass the remark that it is nothing
but natural that a Wilson girl should
marry a man like her father.
Young Sayre's career has been laid
along lines identical with the early
career of the President A brilliant
college record, the reputation achiev-
ed Of a scholar and a leader, a vigor-
Gus plunge into laval this he has
done, just as Woodrow Wilson did
before him.
Like Woodrow Wilson, too, his pre-
objections have been toward the part
Of law in political economy and in
sociology.
1t was through his interest in So
cial betterment work that he and
Miss Jessie Wilson acquired their at
tachment.
Miss Wilson Prominent Worker.
Miss Wilson has been prominent in
work Of this kind, being a member of
the national executive board of the
Y. w c. A. In this capacity she
visited the Night Court for Women
in New York City together with Mrs.
]. Borden Hartman last winter. She
also visited the Children's Court. In
February Miss Wilson addressed the
Legislature Of Delaware In behalf of
ten-hour law for working women.
The Legislature passed the bill. In
Richmond, Va, last year, Miss Wilson
spoke before crowds that filled two

churches, and was then compelled to
address an overflow meeting.
President Wilson's career has been
strangely intermingled with the sup
posedlv unlucky number thirteen, and
Miss Wilson is to become the thir-
teenth White House bride.
But the daughter of the President
is not one of those persons who de-
cline to sit In the thirteenth row at
the theater or object to being the thir-
teenth guest at an entertainment
Many times has Miss Wilson defied
the superstition, and sat in the thir-
teenth row of a theater with her ia e.
Their who prefers to sit in that row
and regards the number as particular
ly lucky.
Francis Bowes Sayre, who is a
clerk in the office of District Attorney
Whitman, of New York, is a modest
young man. To none Of his fellow
workers had he ever confided that he
even knew the Presidents daughter
He is IS years old, an admirer Of for

Advertisements and Maps Cover

ThrOnged by Legislators.

Strangers entering the Kimball
House lobby are apt to conclude that
the business in chief of the Geor-
gia' Legislature is TO create new coun-
ties. Placards, posters. banners and
maps are everywhere, each setting
forth advantages bound TO accrue to
the State at large if some particular
locality is given local self govern
ment and some thriving village au-
thorized to construct a county court
house.
Every county that hopes TO be has
a room in the Kimball House. an ad-
vertising scheme in the lobby and a
few favored sons scattering argu-
ments. Whosoever so much as hest
tates and looks at one Of the maps,
posters, plaCards, banners or bulle-
tins is sure to be button holed and
given an advisory talk.
Among the prospective counties
whose advertisements embellish the
Kimbsll House lobby are Morris,
Griggs, Barrow Tate, Hansell, Har-
deman. Gambler. Warner, Hampton,
Atkinson, Milledge, Northen. Evans
and Stonewall fourteen in num-

of these reasons are decidedly novel.

Born in 1882, in Ohio, he moved

business in Eastern Oregon, where he
remained for several years. Return

brothers, Solomon and David, in the
livery business, and, after several
years, sold out and purchased big
farm on French Prairie, moving from
there to Howell Prairie, and about
two years ago coming to Salem to
make his home. He was married in
1857 to Miss Olive Kays, who, like him
self, had crossed the plains by the
