MARSHALL ACCEPTS
WILSON DECLINES
Poor Team Work Shown on
Membership Invitations
To Exclusive Club.
National News Association

(National News Association
WASHINGTON, Mar. President
elect Wilson has declined an invitation
to become an honorary member of the
Chevy Chase club, which is one of the
centers of social life in Washington.
This is the club to which President
Taft belongs and at which he has
played golf frequently during his four
years in the White House.
Although officials of the club declin-
ed to discuss the incident, il is known
that there Is considerable feeling over
it. Some of them regard Mr.. Wilson's
note of declination as somewhat curt.
1t is understood that he declined on
the ground that he expected his public
duties would consume all of his time
in Washington and that he would not
have an opportunity to enjoy the priv
ileges extended by the club.
There is apparently, however, very
poor team work between the Presi-
dent-elect and the Vice-President-elect.
for Governor Marshall was invited TO
become an honorary member of the
club and accepted with enthusiasm.
He wrote TO the board of governors
saying he did not play golf or tennis
but felt complimented at the invitation
rendered him.
Members of the club are chagrined
because the invitation came entirely
from the club in the case OF Mr.. Will
son. 1t has been a standing rule or
: the club for years that the board of
governors should confer honorary
membership on the President and
Vice-President and on all ex-Presidents
and ex-Vice-Presidents.
The membership of the Chevy Chase
Club is made up of prominent people
in the official and social circles OF
Washington. In recent years there
have been many heartburnings among
officials in Washington over their
failure to gain membership to this
club.
The Metropolitan Club is another
Washington organization which in
variably invites the President and
Vice-President and members of the
Diplomatic Corps in Washington to be-
come honorary members. 1t is re,
ported tonight that the officers OF this
club are scratching their heads and
wondering if they care to run the
chance of being "rebuffed' by the
President-elect.
Some members of Congress thought
they saw in Mr. Wilson's declination
of the Chevy Chase invitation a pur
pose on his part to emphasize his
democracy. 1t was recalled that Mr.
Wilson when president of Princeton
! University had declared himself Wig
orously against the upper class clubs
and had spoken emphatically against
the tendency to luxury and exclusive

in 1900, Mr.. Wood was on April Bird Of
that year, selected as Chairman pro
tempore of the committee and held the
position until the election of a perma-
nent chairman, August l, 1890. He was
the choice of the committee for the
permanent office, but as the accept
ance would have involved the relin-
punishment of his connections with the
Pennsylvania railroad, he declined the
honor. Mr.. Wood has also served a
term as president of the American AS
ISOLATION of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents.
Mr.. Wood was born in Auburn, n.
Y, February 9, 1S43. He commenced
his railroad career in 1869, as secre-
tary to the Superintendent of the Bur-
llngton and Missouri river railroad, at
Creston, Iowa. From this post he was
advanced TO the position of Train
master, which he held until 1871, when
he was appointed General Western
Passenger Agent of the same road,
with office at Chicago.
In 1873 Mr.. Wood became General
ticket agent of the Burlington and
Missouri river railroad in Nebra ska,
and subsequently western land and
passenger agent. After a short service
in this capacity he was appointed gem
eral agent of the Michigan Central and
Chicago and West Michigan railroads
at Grand Rapids, Mich, and in 1876,
assistant superintendent of the same
company, at Jackson, Mich In 1873 he
returned to Chicago as assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Michigan
Central railroad, for few months
only, returning to the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy railroad as general
passenger agent of that system. He
continued in this position until April,
! 1881, when he received the appoint
ment Of general passenger agent of
/ the Pennsylvania railroad, which posi-
ton he filled until his appointment as
passenger traffic manager on June /,
| 1908.

PITTSBURG, March il R. Wood
passenger traffic manager of the Penn
active service of the company. Mr..
Wood was seventy years of age on
February 8, and his retirement is in
accordance with the pension rules of
the railroad.
Mr.. Wood is probably better known
to the travelling public than any other
passenger man in this country. 1t has
been said that of all living Americans,
his signature has been looked upon by
more persons than that of any other
AS passenger traffic manager, Mr..
Woods name has been printed upon
scores of millions of railroad tickets
every year for nearly ten years. The
Pennsylvania railroad sells probably
as many, or more tickets than any 9TH
er railroad in this country, so that
ticket on the Pennsylvania in the past
ten years has doubtless seen Mr..
Woods signature.
What Wood Did.
1t was upon Mr. Woods initiative
that the first limited" train, in the
sense of exclusive accommodations
and high speed, was inaugurated in
this country. He has aided and encour-

object the elevation and expansion OF

Some Democrats believe that the same
views have influenced him to his pres
ent decision.
The fact that the President-elect has
not accepted the Chevy Chase invita-
ton indicates that he will not follow
in President Taft's footsteps as a golf
er. Folks are wondering now if the
new President is to bring his bicycle
to Washington and take his exercise
in that way. He rode the wheel while
he was on his vacation in Bermuda.

HERE'S A TIP FOR you.

HkRES Il III TUX IOU.
Whatever We may think of the tip
ping system, and especially the hat
rack form Of 1t, we can scarcely miss
the point Of the following story:
Manley M. Rice was for eight years
the hatrack attendant at the Hotel
Jefferson in st. Louis. He started
with nothing. received no salary and
yet amassed sufficient fortune to buy
q hotel Of his own. Tips did It. The
secret Of his success was that he al
ways had a smile whether he received
q tip or not
Here is his philosophy told in his
own words:
Always look pleasant and have q smile
for the guest whether he tips you or not.
A sheer or q sarcastic word never helps.
but always hurts your business. II you
are q beneficiary of the tipping system
you ought to bear this in mind and look
and act accordingly. Don't expect tips
from the big men. They are too busy with
big AFFAIR." to think about the pittance for
service.
This is a tip for you and it doesn't
cost you a cent: Be pleasant whether
your smiles bring a response or other.
wise.
Even if you do not approve Of tips
generally you must admit that this tip
is good.
And this is true whether you work
for yourself or work for another
whether you sell calico or sell houses
whether you run a farm or run for Of
fice. whether you cut hay or cut cou.
pons.
A smile is the minted gold Of good
nature, and it brings in other kinds OF
minted gold.
Like attracts like. Good humor at
tracts good coin.
A smile is the, hallmark Of success
just as a crouch is the outward sign
Of failure.
In the long run we get only If we
give. The hat boy gave sunshine anG
received sunshine in a concrete form

He gave pleasant looks and got 4

deposited his smiles in the bank Of
human hearts and drew interest OF
the deposit.
Now he has hatrack concessions t.
hand out to some other boy who may
smile his way into the proprietorshiI
of a hotel.
Kindness Is a good thing whether Il

run smoothly.
