WILSON VERY BUSY

EMPERORS-MEETS CABINET
IN ITS FIRST SESSION.
SHAKES $50 GUESTS HANDS
VIII Not Discuss Patronage Matters
Till Advisers Are Seen-McCombs
Not Yet Decided as to For

Washington, March 8. - President
Wilson saw most Of the phases that 90
with the presidency Thursday. He met
his cabinet for it's first session of Of
flcial standing; received the congratu.
latiOns of some of the kings and EN-
perors Of the world, and replied to
them: talked with several men men
toned repeatedly for diplomatic posts;
shook hands with $50 east room visit
ors; was consulted about the legisla-
tive program of the Democratic con
gress and suited his action to his word
by declining to interest himself in pat
ronage matters until one of his official
family had been seen.
Not SO Rushed as Wednesday.
The day lacked some of the rush of
Wednesday, but it was busy enough to
keep the president on the jump most
OF the time and to force Secretary Tu-
multy to spend many crowded minutes
out in the corridors of the executive
offices disposing of callers at a rapid
fire rate. Tho president quit work
promptly at o'clock and went for an
automobile ride with Mrs. Wilson.
At night he saw William McCombs
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee, and Joseph E. Davies. it's
secretary. Both men have figured
prominently as possible diplomatic ap-
pointees. They were closeted with the
president In the White House proper
Mr.. McCombs arrived first and stayed
but short time and Mr. Davies did
not appear until after the White House
dinner was over.
Didn't Discuss Ambassadorship.
Mr.. McCombS said he had not dis
cussed the matter OF accepting the am
bassadorship to France. His visit con
cerned questions Of patronage. Friends
who talked with him during the even
ing were all agreed that Mr.. McCombs
would decline the amhassadorship and
retain the Craftsmanship OF the Demo
cratic national committee. His health,
however, requires trip, and whether
or not he takes the proffered position,
he soon will leave for Europe.

Administration of the affairs of Manhattan Bor-

administration There have been no favorites and
there has been no graft.
There should be no backward step. Marcus NJ.

is man of the same high type-a broad gauge, hon
orable business man, with record Of service in
social and phaIthropica work of which anybody
might be proud He is running in political unit

Fancy and Fact in Latin America.

The President does not exaggerate the evils of the
foreign concession and loan system in Latin Amer
ica but it is to be feared that he is Overopmistic
in his vision of its immediate abolition. Those coun-
tries he says will be emancipated from
those conditions" Yet at this very moment one OF
the largest concessions record is being granted
In Colombia, and others are in prospect.
The fact is that those countries simply must have
foreign capital and enterprise for the development
Of their resources, and if they cannot get them in
one way they must in another. The President says
that we ought to be the first to assist them in their
emancipation. Yes; but how? He deprecates the
very thought Of material interests and insists that
our union with those states must be a spiritual
union and our commerce with them a commerce OF
thought and sympathy. But will spirituality pro-
vide capital sympathy build railroads?
Foreign loans and concessions have doubtless
enIburdensome to Latin America. But something
more than amiable phrases is needed to take their
place. The aid which this country should give It's
Southern neighbors is material well as spiritual
Indeed, if we will assist them to develop their
material resources, they will be able themselves to
look for constitutional liberty and human rights.

Mccall Would Turn Over the Places
70 Murphy Without Blush.

After Mr. McCalrs speech at the Tammany Han
ratification meeting he might just as Wen stop IT,
beating his shopwOrn phrase about being no man
man" With the hungry hordes OF Iammany sur
rounding him, their mouths watering Tor the pluls
of patronage he voiced what he termed his creed
I'm the selection Of public officials, II the Demo-
cratic ticket is elected, will consult the leauers
of our party" This would be eminenty proper, he
layerred, because no Democrat ever asked puohc
officials to do anything which would bring the blush
of shame to their brOws
The effrontery Of Tammany's candidate IN pro-
claiming at this time the old, old political creeu
ITO the victors belong the spoils' is astonishing
while the whole state ringing with Suffers charge
that he was impeached because he wouldn't turn
over the Highways Department, with its huge con-
tracts to Murphy's associate Jim Gahney, ana
the Labor Department, with hundred new ana
lucrative jobs, to Murphys man The McManus'
Mccall calmly expresses confidence that THE CHER
would never ask him to do anything which would
bring a blush to his brow
Finishes are largely q matter of sensitive con-
science and temperament. Perhaps Mr. MCCALL
would find himself able, at Murphys request, 10
hand over the Police Department of this city to
.,Tom" Foley and the Fire Department TO 'Ihe
McNlanus and the Department of Water supply
Gas and Electricity to Jim" Gaffney. Such a
course would be quite in line with his handing out
refereeships to the Tammany faithful during LIS
service as Supreme Court justice. But every decent
citizen would blush for him and feel tempted TO
weep for the citys shame.
1t is fortunate for the city that Mr.. McCalls con-
fesson of allegiance to Murphy and his promise to
shake the plum tree for Murphys boys come at this
tima Thev Give the voters ample opportunity to
save the city from him and from Murphy.

A Worthwhile Centenarian.

To span the gap from Napoleon as Emperor to the
Panama Canal is handsome period of living. NO
wonder that much of Williamsburg turned out to DO
honor TO its centenaran, Joseph De Long.
What added especial interest to this lively Old ci'l-
zens birthday party the fact that he was able TO
furnish his own parade. Six children Twenty-Five
grandchildren twenty-nine Observation-Disclosures and
two great grandchildren marched in his wake
and reused the neighborhood to loud cheers.
This appeals to us as the best centenarians rec
ord we have seen in a good while. Usually such
aged citizens seem to have nothing to talk about on
their birthdays their use of rum-or else their
total abstinence from liquor tobacco and everything
of interest Such occasions appeal to us as dunesS
personifed.
As for Mr. Joseph De Long he has made his mark
in the world and has every right to celebrate May
his parade increase.

Fusion and the Business Element"

One of the most significant phases Of the city cam
pagn has been the pronounced drift of the substan-
tal business element to the support of John Purroy
Mitchell. Many. if not most, business men have in
tended all along to vote for the rest of the fusion
ticket but stories Of Mr.. Mitches "sociastic ten
denotes" daunted them to his canddacy-until
they investigated Now letters interviews and
checks daily attest their purpose to vote for him
and against Tammany.
1t is a hopeful sign, furnishing fresh proof that
the voter these days does his own thinking. No
campaign shibboleth of socialism" applied to Tam
many's opponent or of economy" applied to Tam
many's own man has been able to stand the test Of
facts, duly Analysed Practical, honorable business
men will vote for the fusion ticket and progress and
against Tammany and msrule, as they should.
