The last issue of the Sat-
urday Evening Post contains
a writeup of the personal side
of President Wilson'S life,
following a personal inter
view with the President,
who is known to be on very
friendly forms with the
Posts best known writer.
Mr.. Blythe sets out to
show that instead Of being
the cold, impersonal man of
scholarly and aristocratic
leanings, Mr.. Wilson is very
democratic and has a passion
for the peopfe-that like
Abu Adhem Ben he likes to
be written down as one who
loves his fellow men. In
this interview the President
told Blythe that he hated
the pomp and tinsel and stiff
homage being paid him as
chief executive and that he
longed to get away from it
and 60 to the heart Of the
natural, everyday folks in
busy mart, shop and rural
place.
The Presidents way of
expressing this desire is set
forth in a fashion that is ex-
tremelY interesting. And as
Sam Blythe is no crude
wielder of words, the collab-
Grafton may not be entirely
convincing but it is fine stuff
to all who find fascination in
the Queens diction so deity
a n d masterfully handled.
The President himself has
struck a new note in this re-
Cut Bank pioneer press. [volume] (Cut Bank, Mont.) 1909-current, 1915-01-15

Private business in this
country is conducted with
more system, more skill and
more attention to small de-
tail than at any other period

municipalities is woefully lax.

business men are taking
more interest in politics than
formerly. Laxity in in car
ing for the public's business
is coming up for discussion
more and more. In the
Cut Bank pioneer press. [volume] (Cut Bank, Mont.) 1909-current, 1915-01-15

next few years campaigns
will be fought out purely on
the question of better bus
mess system in public affairs.
In the current North
western Stockman, q Helena
publication, there appears a
remarkable article from the
pen of a Mr.. Anderson, deal
ing with this topic. MIR.
Anderson points in a most
lucid and terse manner to the
deplorable waste of the pub
lie money in retaining an
army Of useless attaches Of
the state payroll. Here is a
concrete example. There
are but two licensed steam
boats in Montana, on Flat
head Lake. We have a
steamboat Inspector who
draws $1,000 a year. Then
there is a duplication of Of
hcers Of which he cites in
stances galore.
There are around eight
hundred appointive offices in
Montana and the party in
power, which-everit may be,
builds upa powerful political
machine. Tammany W a S
founded and nourished on
P a t + onage and it took a
quarter of a century to dis
turb its absolute rule. A
number of states, Montana
among them, can perpetuate
a party on the strength Of
patronage.
He believes the sheriffs and
1tHM
deputies could take the
place of most of the game
wardens and tells of one in
stance where it cost a coun-
ty over $4,000 a year for a
warden who made two ar
rests last year. There are
hundreds of these offices that
are merely sinecures-creat-
ed for the purpose of reward
ing great and small politici-
ans.

spect. His state papers and
speeches are as crisp and
clear as cathedral chimes,
With nothing of the trite or
platitudinous. But that he
is the fervent democrat,
%yearning to mingle with and
sense the longings and aspira-
tions Of the common crowd
will still be doubted by all
familiar with his antecedents,
h i clustered life among
scholarly and aristocratic as
sociations. But this is a good
time to get a few sidelights
on the life of our foremost
public man before another
campaign begins and the ex-
tremiSts on both sides have a
chance to tire us with full
some fattery and sicken us
with rancorous abuse. Thus
far he has been a sort of
enigma to the people. They
would like to feel that he is
more human than he is gen

has presented a pretty good.
