any power of constructive thinking.
Again and again we have drifted un-
til impaled upon the event; and have
had our education by a process Of
explosion. Sixty years ago, in spite
of the noblest thinker of his time the
country exploded in a civil war, and
by this bloody means came TO a solu-
ton of the slavery question. We ex
plode periodically in financial panics;
we explode industrially in strikes
and learn little. All Of these destruet-
i've explosions might be avoided If,
instead of plunging ahead and acting
breathlessly all the time, we should
stop for a moment and think-really
think.
For the moment. then, the govern
ment is being guided by thought. Mr.
Wilson Is a thinker.
Now a thinker is so rare, either in
the White House or outside of 1t, that
it is difficult to know just how to take
him. Washington has not been so
puzzled over any one in years as 1t
is over Mr.. Wilson.

that this was the dominant view at
Washington of those who go rather
frequently to see Mr.. Wilson. While
he greets his visitors with a smile,
he rarely volunteers anything. He
stands and waits patiently, as though
reserving both his physical and men-
tai strength. Some visitors, remem-
berlng the vital impact of that tre-
mendous energizer of a Roosevelt or
the robust good humor Of Taft, come
away from the quiet thinker OF the
White House puzzled and disap-

The other visitor / talked with is
himself a thinker, and personally

youth, who will probably never get
beyond a mediocre career, a poor
orphan boy with nobody To encourage
him or help him managed to edu-

schools and in the Y. NJ. C. A. classes.
BY studying nights alone, when he
was working hard day times, he pre-
pared himself for college, and then
worked his way through without a
penny of assistance, and today is
promising young lawyer.
To compensate for the ass stance
his more fortunate classmates had,
he developed strong, robust. vtgor-

splendid manhood through his self

There are other young men who are
discouraged because they are not ad-

that they have been for years In the

them, no future where they are. You

There is young man somewhere

stamina, and the grit, to do the thing
that you call impossible, the thing be-
fore which you are hesitating. This
fellow would walk right through with

you encounter, and which seem so

right through, not around, over, nor

There IS a young man somewhere

EDITORIALS BY THE PEOPLE


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
/ could but reflect as l read in yes
terday mornings edition of The Star,
side by side, these two conflicting
effusions:
The one headed Boards Confer
(Bayonne, Jersey City and Elizabeth)
on Bay Bridge" wherein was set forth
that the estimated cost of erecting
the Newark Bay structure Is S1,262, 900.
The other, headed See Meadows
Changing Into Factory Sites-The
Gigantic Task of Board of Works, ="
etc, etc, the one seemingly nullify
ing the other, for if Newark is to be
still further cut off from free navi-

My idea and hopes were to see the
seaport plan carried out, thus making
Newark a port of entry with a GUS
tom house as once 1t was. What is
all this liberal expenditure of money
for reclamation of meadow land fol-
IL we are to be shut In tighter than
ever by another bridge?
1t would seem to be more advanta-
gious for all Jerseymen hereabouts to
unite with the Central Railroad and
tunnel the bay and thus clean out all
distractions to a free exit for ouI
growing possibilities.
Don't pull apart, but all unselfishly

pervious man of the world. Through
out her life Mrs. Fry maintained the
simple dress and unpretentious man
ners of the Quakers, and made no d.
ference in her manner whether dining
with kings or the poorest laboring
man.
Another famous woman who came
into the world on May q was the
Duchess of Sutherland who was one
of the closest companions of Queen
Victoria. The duchess was born in
1906 and was therefore thirteen years
older than the queen. When the
duchess was seventeen years old sha
was married to the Duke of Suther-
land, who had previously been de-
barred from marriage owing to a ro-
mantle attachment he had entertained
for the unfortunate and beautiful
Queen Louise, of Prussia. His mar
riage to the young English girl. how
ever, proved to be in every way
happy. The duchess was chosen by
Victoria on her accession as mistress
of the robes and their friendship was
so great that, when years later the
prince consort died the queen chose
the duchess as her sole companion
for the first few weeks of her mourn"

Like Napoleon, Theodore Roose-
welt lost his chance by reason of his
lack of forecast and reckless activ-
ity. When he came home from
abroad in 1910 the White House
stood right ahead, ready to receive
him in 1913. He had nothing to do
but sit down at oyster Bay and wait
upon events.
They were gathered to his hand. To
those who urged him to take the
field he could have said, This is not
my fight. 1t is the fight of my friend
Taft. When he wants me he Will
call me; but If l interpose I may do

mind should have been obviously

Fatal blunder! Republican defeat
was already on the way. The Repub-
Hcan administration had sown the
wind, and, except for Theodore
Roosevelt, Taft had reaped the whtrl-
wind. That would have ended Taft.
II is improbable that he would have
aspired to second term. With the
great, undefeated Roosevelt pursu-
