Conductor Having a Hard
 Time of It.

Conductor Charley Smale since the advent of the thirst par lors" in Brinkley has been hav- ing hard time of it taking care of the "overloads" if the reports of his experiences are correct.
 As is a well known fact there is not a kinder hearted. more peaceful, long suffering, easy going and accommodating Con- ductor in Arkansas than Charley Smale. They tell of him, that he is regarded as a 'big brother and father confessor" by ev- erybody living on the Pine City branch of the Midland on which he has been running for the past many years. This kind dispo- sition of the conductor has how ever been tried to the limit since the saloons opened in Brinkley. The past week was full of trou- ble for him and the Midland Limited was delayed consider able time as it was pulling out for the south last Saturday by an "obstreperous drunk. ;" Char ley is said to have pulled his gun and came near having to use it as he backed his train back into Brinkley and unloaded his trou- blesome passenger. In the mean time it is said that Uncle Sam has got into the game and since it was a U. s. mail train that was delayed that the federal authorities will take a hand.

Back in Staunton Virginia in 1856 was born the child who be- came the greatest democrat since Jefferson, and as the winds of Monticello rocked his cradle the destiny of this wonderful boy was not dreamed by even his own people, but now we see him a leader among men, the very greatest representative of Amer icanism today, our new President Woodrow Wilson.
 He is spare man of medium height, wide forehead, expressive eyes, attractive personally and an air of genuiness about his character that compels admira- tion and respect. He comes of temperate family: people of convictions, habits of study and firm temper which qualities he inherited. His people are old time Presbyterians and he is an elder in the church. While at Princeton he joined the little kirk instead of the big fashionable church because the small church needed him.
 His education was received mostly from private schools and tutors, until he entered David son College where he spent one year. From there he went to Princeton where he graduated in 1879.
 He then studied law at the University of Virginia and re- cieved the degree of Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins University. He began teaching as a member of the famous old Brywn Maur College faculty, and later in the Wesleyan University.
 Very soon after this. he was elected at Princeton where he remained twelve years until he
 was elected it's President. MT
 Wilson came to the head of Prin. ceton untested in the position of President of the University, but | he soon saw what was needed fol | the upbuilding of the whole insi-
 tuition, and immediatly set tt
 work to make it the best schoo
 Ii in the country. He adopted what | is known as the famous Precep
 torial System whereby the pupils
 and the teachers wrought int , intimate relationship. Had l not been for Wilson, Princeton
 would never have been what i , today and he done.a great dea

some one said when we read them we are able to, recover a past age; make dead generations live again and breath their own air" Since 1885 he has publish ed about dozen books, some essays and some treatises in gov ment questions. Free Life" was the baccaulaureate address to some students and was printed Tn a little book and now is widely known for it's fine literary value and helpful teaching.
 On June 24th, 1885 he married Miss Ellen Louise Axson of Geor- gla, and three daughters blessed their union. They are very inter- ;esting for their many accomplish ments ann their rare common sense, unspoiled by public praise. His wife and one daughter are interested in art and have ar ranged for a private studio in the White House. Another daughter is a musician of some note and the third is rapidly making reputation as a maga- zine contributor and worker in the Young Women's Christian Association" Circles. They are real conservative Americans with plenty of abi ty and people all over the country are predicting great things from this admins tation.
 In the life of every ambitious man there remains single goal to be reached and our New Presi- dent felt the Presidency marked for him the perfection of a per- sonal ideal. Of all the twenty seven chief executives he seems to be the first to have before his eyes for life time this aim
 The cherished wish of student who became a great mon of affairs. " Some have sought high position with greater eager ness, some have been covetous of every opportunity, while others have by chance gathered the laurels intended for others, but never has as a man since the days of Washington been the choice of SC many people, and given such satisfactory prospects for new government.
 Much faith comes in listening to MT. Wilson, he talks quietly as becomes a professor, but he talks with earnestness and g beautiful accuracy. His argu. ment is clear and in his manner there is no air of personal allu. sion, no veneer of smartness Never has he held friend SC near his heart as he has helo Wordsworth and 1t was Words. worth who called poetry the impassioned expression which is the countenance of all science. J He has around him a scholars cabinet and we are reminded of the old statement, For just experience tells in every soil, that those who think must govern those who toll.
 Since his election as President of The United States" he has shown clearly what his ideas oi government are and also a few of the changes that should be made that would benefit the public welfare. some of which are as follows reforms in the
 Tariff" Banking and Curr ency" Trusts and "Conser- vation. ." He has enjoyed the
The Brinkley argus., 1913-05-23

confidence of million of voters. They trusted in his promises, they believed in his honesty of purpose and also his ability to restrain the thoughtless head strong radicals of his party who are thrusting themselves to the front. Among the reforms of Wilson in the way of party divis- ions is that of the office seekers, usually a President of one party fills the office with men of his own party, but this is not so with Wilson, in many cases he has not made any changes what ever and this goes to prove that his administration is an impartial one. Recently he appeared in Congress and delivered his ad- dress in person, as no other Pres. had donefor more than 1l2 years. His speech was simple and he asked the legislative colleagues, man to man, to aid in keeping the pledges of their party. Yet when President Wilson arrived in the midst of the great assemb- lage riding through throngs of cheering people in the streets and later looking into the galler- ies crowded with priviledged ticket holders, he seemed, after all, that which he said he was. "A human being trying to CO., operate with other human beings in a common service" Another incident which shows his deep interest in the affairs of the government is that when asked to visit the Panama Zone, he de- clined. Business comes before pleasure and President Wilson has shown that he is a man of business, although many believed him to be a pedagogue with only theories to guide him.
 He seems inclined to consult Vice-President Marshall and will outline some definate work for for him. Before this a Vice. President has been a kind of un- known quantity unless the President should be by some ill chance, removed from office.
 One of the most surprising facts about Woodrow Wilson has been power to grow and never cease growing. It seems that each new position has better pre- pared hin. for the ones to follow and long ago it was prophesied that he would some day be Pres. of the United States. He never has sought office of his own accord and will not b. one to ever force himself upon any people.
 No matter where fortune shaii lead him the world will make a beaten path to his door empha- sizing the power and incalcuable value of genius in high places.
