was pretty. with sparkling blue eyes

But when, at the 1o O'Clock gong,
she followed the other girls to the big
lunchroom on the mex floor, she was
slightly abashed. Connors. in his seat
near the elevator, looked up as she

her gaze. However. he instantly drop

eyes had held a threat. Neither she

X HIS MEASURE.

A good many people are engaged
just now in the interesting occupation
of taking the measure Of President
Wilson, and to those who are doing it
at close range, as it were, the occupa-
tion must be a most fascinating n
It is a curious fact that in this coun-
try, which is avowedly n in which
all power is vested in the people. and
in which means have been taken to
enable the people to exercise that pow
er, one individual, the president, pos
sesses and exercises more real power
than any other individual on earth.
In the systems Of the old world there
is retained in n form or other some
thing Of the ancient idea Of the divine
right of kings. In some countries,
England, for Instance, that doctrine
is a tradition, n nothing more. The
king himself never asserts it, and no
other person would tolerate it. In
Germany the emperor is very firmly
convinced himself Of his divine right
to rule. but he is not always able to
convince his parliament. Russia, for
a long time a despotism in name, was
in reality a bureaucracy, and the Rus
sian car Is as much Of a figurehead
az any Of the other monarchs. Kings
and emperors are very influential per-
sonages. but their actual legal author
ity is whitfield down t GA very fine
point. In the United States we have
conferred on the occupant Of the pres
idential ONCE power that is real and
effective. 4 power which, during his
term Of ONCE. is greater than that Of
any hereditary monarch. Naturally
there is a good deal Of curiosity as
to how a president is going to meas
ure up to his job.
President Wilson il a man who, un-
til shortly before he was talked of
for governor Of New jersey. was un-
known even by name to probably more
than ninety-nine per cent Of the
American people. While he had been
a very busy man his activities had
been in other directions than those of
politics. He had held no Offices and
had sought He was known only
as a college president. and to mos
Of those who heard him mentioned

induced to give him a trial, and in

But now that Wilson is presiden,
