(From National Capital NcWs.)
Simply because man happens to
be president is no reason at all why
| he should cease to be like other
human beings in the desire to eX-
ercise natural freedom. Mr.. Taft has
'let the public in" on how he felt
about this. But how about Woodrow
Wilson? Here is man who came
to Washington 16 months ago, with
wife and three grown daughters.
Now that wife, who was chum and
a helpmate, has passed forever be-
yond the shadows. Two of the daugh
tiers have been married.; and of the
happy family only it's head and one
daughter are together. The White
House, to which they came in happi-
ness, and in the expectancy of a
beautiful expansion of home life, has
become a dreary and lonely abode
lit is transformed into a house OF
mourning and silence.
The president used to like couple
of evenings week at the theater
and he rollicked about a good deal,
and had a good time. But it is differ
ent now, and lonely Woodrow Wilson
Ishrinks from the public gaze and he
Ieven refused to enter into the cam
lpaign to make speeches, as has here
tofore been the custom. He seeks for
getfulness of his own unhappiness in
his work and eagerly welcomes the
responsibilities and troubles of his
office. Washingtonans know, and
understand, and as they pass the
White House they rarely catch a
glimpse of it's master, for he is hid
den in a favorite corner where the
curious cannot go.
All, tits great thing to be presi-
dent of the United States, but if
Woodrow Wilson could have it for
the wishing he would doubtless pre-
fer to be back in Princeton as he
was dozen years ago, happy with a
loving family in a modest home. But
even presidents are not masters of
their own destiny, and he must go on
as the lonesome man of the White
House.

Every once in while one of our correspond

hunter returning home from the woods with
cargo OF deer and we dutifully print it. but we
desire to remark at this juncture that editorally
we are compelled to refuse to vouch for the truth
OF those stories for lack of corroborating evidence

saddened by this greatest of wars, not only the
emblems of the sorrow and the pity of this nation,
but a little of the joy of our own Yule-tide

Those of you who heard Congressman John

Those of you who heard Congressman John
sons speech in Olympia the other day or read the
reports of his later talk at Little Rock realize
the truth Of the charge that he has no issue on
which to come before the people of this district
this fall. He presented no positive arguments to
you, presented nothing but carpng criticism of
the peanut variety, the kind of criticism that
his own party colleagues in congress repudiated
when they voted for the very bills he discussed.
Would he repeal any Of them? You bet he
wouldn whats more, he isn't gong to have the
chance.
