next legislature convenes an effort
will be made to secure a state appro-
priation to complete the monument
and build the fight of steps. As so
many appropriation bills have already
passed the legislature at the present
session those who want to see the
monument completed say they do not
care to risk submitting a measure
calling for money at this time.

Woodrow Wilson's Word Picture
Of Himself for Newspaper Men

Washington, March 26.--Woodrow
Wilson unbosomed himselfto members
Of the National Press Club of Wash
ington at the opening Of the new quar-
ters. He told them in a frank,
conversational way how he feels
as President of the United States;
how difficult it for him to imagine him
self as the Chief Executive with the
formal amenities of the position, and
how he has struggled to be as free as
the ordinary individual without the re-
straints of his office. 1t was an in
Innate picture Of Woodrow Wilson. the
man, drawn by himself. The Pres
ident did not intend to have his re-
ks reported, but later, at the re-
It of the club, the unusual speech
made public. 1t follows:

This is no time, Senator Jones said for
the Republican party to remain divided,
since both the regular Republicans and
the Progresslves are in substantial agree
ment upon fundamental policies of ma
tional conduct. He pointed out that pros
perity and success have always followed
Republican rule. while the reverse has
been the case under the Democrats As 10
the split in the Republican party, he said
since that occurred, in 1912. the Progress
slyes have practically nowhere in local
elections poled anywhere near as many
votes as the Republicans have. The split
was on methods, he said. not principles:
and the people now believe the party has
been purified. lie foretold success for the
Republicans in coming elections.
The other speaker was James S. Parker,
member Of Congress from the 18th New
York District. He spoke OF the success
and honesty of government under the last
Republican Governor, Charles f. Hughes,
as compared with the graft and demorali-
zation under subsequent Democratic Gov
errors. Although he deplored the present
state OF the Mexican situation, he said
that he believed the President should be
supported in case OF war.

Speaker Tells Young Republican

United States Senator Wesley L. Jones,
speaking before the Young Republican

cIared that, although in case OF war with
Mexico he believed In supporting the
President, since, in such crisis. he is
the leader OF the whole country, the affair

Senator Joness subject was 1.-THE Re-

cratic party came into power. he said,
not through Its own strength, but be-
cause of the division of the Republican
ruling party, contrary to the principles

Republican rule, he said, showed that
it was the true party of progress.
Under Democratic rule a tariff law has

languishing. The railroads are on the
verge of bankruptcy. During the last six
months they have discharged over 100000
men, and they cannot survive receiver
ships unless they are allowed to increase
their rates. What consolation will the
people get out OF increased tariff rates if
railroad rates on everything they must
transport are increased, and that, too, at
a time when they are less able to pay?
