AS have been residing in London

asked on all sides. ! have never

Why are the American factories
not running night and day? Why
are the railroads not opening up new
territories and getting ready for the
millions of immigrants who have al
ready made up their minds to leave
Europe as soon as the war is over?
Why are there not fifty American
drummers in London right now, try
ing to sell 100000 worth of
American goods in place of the goods
that were bought last year from
| Germany and Austria?
Why have advertisers become
cutters, just at the time when their
advertisements were most needed
and most effective in cheering on the
business forces of the United States
From the European point Of view
the United States is haven of peace
and security and prosperity. 1t has

THE REAL WOODROW WILSON

Because President Wilson has
been a college president and says,
"tut. tut" when he Is irritated, ana
is universally recognized as a deeply
learned and intellectual man who
never Stops over, la Roosevelt,
there is a popular impression that
he is austere and reseryed-a book :
ish man, not of the people and out
of both acquaintance and sympathy
with the average American. All a
mistake, and the Saturday Evening
Post deserves thanks for correctin .
this popular impression in it's last
issue by an interview with Presi
dent Wilson written by San Blythe,
from which we take the following:
There is general disposition to
regard the President as thinking
machine, as a large and brilliant
but geld intellect, incased in a non
responsive and highly insulated COW
ering. He is thought of and talked
Of as mostly brains-and cold. ana :
lytical, logical brains at that; and
there can be no denying that he has
those commodities in fu supply.
The other side of him is not so gen
orally known, principally because his
rise in public life has been so rapid
and his transfer from academy tc
arena occurred so few years ago.
Wherefore, it seems about the
proper time to set down the fact
here that Woodrow Wilson, presi
dent of the United States, is one OF
the most kindly. courteous, consid
crate, genial and companionable o.
men; that, so far from being aloo
from the people. his passion Is the
people real people-and hi
sole desire is to serve them so Ions
as his term of Office shall continue
and aftcrward in such measure as III
may. He holds his position to b'
that of a man connected with hi
fellow men by a peculiar relation
ship of responsibility, and the Vlvl'
sense of that responsibility is doubt
less accountable for the impression
of aloofness. However, that Is no
what started out to say. The poin

that presses at this time is that the
president of the United States
weighs one hundred and seventy six
pounds, and that those one hundred
and seventy six pounds are mostly
bone and muscle. There is not an

of flesh about him. He lives out of

Revival of Hannaisnn.

The Wall Street Journal calls upon
that part of the country which does
the real work, which runs the mills
and the railroads., to consider the ex-
pediency "of a radical change at
Washington after the next presiden-
tial election"
The object of this radical change is
to remove the shackles from the
trade, finance and transportation of
the country" "All that is wanted is a
leader like Mckinley to drag US out of
this Slough of Despond."
The Slough of Despond to which the
Wall Street Jour refers is condi-
ton of almost unparalleled prosperity
in which the United States is making
itself the financial and industrial mas
ter of the world But unparalleled
prosperity in itself does satisfy the
sordid greed of Big Business. Big
Business can never believe in the real
ity of a prosperity. no matter how
abundant il Wall street does not con.
troll the government of the United
States.
When the Wall Street Journal be-
gins to agitate for "a leader like Nc
Kinley," it does not mean Mckinley
It means Hanna, and the campaign for
the establishment of Hannaism is
already well under way.
