TWO YEARS OF WILSON.

From New York World Of Thursday.
On the fftieth anniversary Of Lii.
coins second inaugural, Woodrow
Wilson completed half his presiden.
, tial term. ~"
These two years of the Wilson s,l-
mini'trat'cn III helHu To mnke
more hisro y than any other two
years since fincoin. The roiuing two
years of W:,>cn administration must
inevitably he the m".s mo,aentor,s
period that this .ouutry has know n
since the Civil War.
1t is fact of enormous importa:se
that this crisis finds in the White
House Il president who is ee,mpletely
master of himself. Being master of
himself he is. master of his party and
Of his administration.
There is no kitchen cabinet There
are no back-stairs advisers Tbrr,,
are no secret influences that pu;i and
sway the policies of the Executive.
No underground wires rrn f-em the
White House into Wall Street Or into
tie headquarters Of an; political com
Ifftee. Men may agice with Mr..
W:ison or disagree With MIN; they
ma: like him or tn may dislike
lin; but everybody KNOWS that he
and he alone is President. Every.
body knows that during the remaining
| two years Of his term he and he alone
will be President.
| A very unusual man, meet to cope
with Il very unusual situation in the
affairs of mankind-a President who
IN all his official relations DISPLAYS
neither vanity now resentment, nor
anger nor personal ambition. If he
has friends. their friendship counts
for nothing In the affairs of state
If he has enemies, their enmity weighs
nothing jim the balance of government
He seeks neither to reward the one
nor to punish the other.
So evenly does he hold the scales,
that the members Of the displomatic
corps, with all their highly developed
facilities for obtaining information
nave never been able to learn where
the Presidents personal sympathies
lie in the great conflict that Is now
devastating Europe. Whatever his
individual opinions may be, he mas
'mothered them in the responsibilities
# his office.
