SAFETY HULL FOR SHIPS.

Ever since the Titanic. the worlds
biggest ocean liner. was sunk. with
the loss Of hundreds of lives. about a
year ago. there have been many plans
proposed for making ships unsuitable.
The Titanic was supposed to be un-
sinkable. but when she crashed into
the sharp and solid nose of an iceberg
her hull was SO badly ripped open that
she filed rapidly III spite Of the crews
efforts to keep her afoat.
Two ships bigger than the Titanic

The other is the Vaterland, Just

WOODROW I|iLSON...7HE LEADER OF MEN

and the mildest manner His Roose
Veltism determination is swathed in
more-than-Taftian courtesy. Senator
Williams of Mississippi, jealous of ira
dltlons, assailed the presidents pur
pose to address the two houses in joint
session when he first heard of it. A
rev others may have shared his feel
ing, but when the president made his
mild appearance and talked about be
ing human being like the rest, oppo
sition was disarmed. When he said
his purpose was to make it clear that
the president was not a mere execu
tive department, addressing Congress
from an island of jealous authority
the frown even of Senator Williams
softened into smile.
THE president took perhaps even
more chance in going to the senate
wing of the capitol to confer with the
Democratic members of the finance
committee on the tariff. But he gen
tally informed the senators that he
thus showed himself perfectly willing
to go to them rather than to ask them
to travel to the White House to see
him. He put himself in modest atti
tude to begin with. That broke the
ice, and presently the atmosphere was
so warm that there wasn't any ice.
"The presidents attitude thus far
certainly has not begotten any serious
opposition. Most of the Democrats
not being seriously injured by his tar.
if proposals, are quite frankly pleased
to have genuine party leader. The
few senator's who would like to oppose
features of the tariff bill don't know
what to do about it. To them Wood
row Wilson is a new kind of presi-
dent"

JOSEPH TUMULTY...THE PRIVATE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-This
is another story about Joseph Patrick
Tumulty, blonde haired Irish gentle
man who is private secretary to Wood
row Wilson, president of these United
States.
While Mr.. Tumulty was acting as an
efficient secretary to Governor Wilson
he was fairly active young man, with
a punch in both hands and a smile
guaranteed to disarm an angry lion -
which, good authorities claim, is the
essence of real anger He was active.
engaging and polite; he had fund of
political wiles, garnered in years of
buffeting the New Jersey political ma
chine, and he was an all-around, unas-
Stunning mixer. incidentally, he had
behind him record of achievements,
domestic and political-unusual in a
man SO young.
Then he drifted into the White
House executive Offices, still redolent of
that suave dignity which Charles D.
Hilles, late of New York, had spread
over it. It's nice Office, and even the
potted palms and cut glass desk fix
lures wore that air of suppressed dig
nifty and English cutaway, high hat
stuff that Charles d. was wont to in
still into his immediate surroundings.
Well, the cut plants and the cut
glass are still there, but the dignity
and the memories have fed, run, re
treated and otherwise beaten it.
There's whole lot less dignity and a
lot more real activity apparent around
that Office that there has been in many
moons-and there's a spirit of human
good fellowship that it almost sacrileg-
ious in view of the atmosphere that
used to cling around those precincts.
Mr.. Tumulty wears a regular brown
suit or blue one when he comes on
the job, these are supplemented with a
gray and black mixed soft hat with the
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1913-05-09

President Wilson has already demon
strated to the American people that he
is real leader of men. Ralph Smith,
Washington correspondent of the Nash
vile Tennesseean, describes the VIII
son characteristics in the following in.
teresting article:
F. Woodrow Wilson has demonstrated
his purpose to be a real president. He
has secured the power and response
bility, both of party and of national
leadership. Having listened patiently
he has decided conclusiyely. He has
smashed two precedents to press his
views home and gives evidence of q
fixed purpose to live with senator's and
representatives until he gets what he
wants in tariff legislation. If he
doesn't get it, he proposes to know pre-
cisely why and to put himself in posi-
ton to inform the public and the con
stituents of recalcitrants.
president Wilson's determination to
be a real leader is evidently compar,
able with that of Col. Roosevelt. The
colonel, however, had serious difficulty
in handling Congress. He got results
by pounding, most of the time he was
badly on the nerves of large proper
ton of members of Congress. Had he
taken the chance of reading message
to a joint session, as did Wilson, he
would have been greeted with storm
of protests and might even have pre-
cipitated scene of violent opposi'
ton. Members of Congress in consid'
cradle numbers looked upon the many
Roosevelt messages as frank efforts to
scold them and they didn't like to be
treated that way.
but President Wilson has win
ming way about him. He hides his de
termination under the sweetest smile

bow behind-when he doesn't get ex.
cited and put it in front. If anybody
wants to see him they just drift into
his Office, large, roomy affair, with a
lot of comfortable chairs, and hang
around until he comes over to see him.
The secretary mOseys about the place
in casual manner, dropping into a
seat here, divan there, and disposing
of the caller who happens to be nearest
in line. Massed in the background,
still wearing amazed looks, are always
a corps of newspaper correspondents,
nervously chewing cigars, and wonder
ing whether this is a sweet dream or
just the result of auto intoxication.
Mr.. Tumulty, though he doesn't wear
10 silk hat to work, is always attired
in charming democratic manner, and
absolutely unassuming speech. If he
has any airs at all, he certainly has
choked them down since he took over
the job of being right hand man to a
new president.
He seems to have about 10000 de-
tails names and dates at his finger
ends. If he is asked question, he an
swers it directly or tells the questioner
that he won't say word. There isn't
any diplomatic bunk about it. Direct
ness is his chief aim and after ques-
ton is asked and answered, satisfac-
torily or otherwise, the visitor can go
away certain that there weren't any
threads left hanging to Mr.. Tumulty's
conversation. He has gotten all that
anybody else hasbgotten or will get.
The new secretary gets on the job at
about $3.50 in the morning and quits
when he gets through with the days
work. His first task is to rush his
mail. He eyes the stack bravely, lights
q large black cigar-they reduce auto
matically in size during the day, until
at night he is generally smoking thin
pantella-and then goes to work.
