WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-"The
president was visibly moved and
showed not a little emotion" is
the report of Mrs. Ethel Snowje1
of the peace delegation which
called at the White House No
vember 26.
The words are almost identi-
cal with the report made by the
working women's delegation
which called on the president dur
ing the summer to urge his sup
port for the federal amendment
for woman suffrage.
During the parade of the
Grand Army veterans a few
weeks ago, the dispatches an
nounced that Mr.. Wilson wept.
Yet" say the surprised dele
gates, I'VE had heard that Mr..
Wilson is a cold man."
Wilson is an emotional man.
Intellectuals are often SO. Ero-
tionalism has to do with temper
ament; GOODNESS may be predict
ed of temperament or of char
acter. Temperament IL thing
of the moment, having TO do with
the sensibilities; character Is the
permanent structure and has to
do with those motive forces
which make for the final Judg-
ment on all problems to be de-
cided. An emotionalist may or
may not be swayed by his emo
tions. President Wilson may OF
may not be, as to his character, a
cold" man. The answer is not
1 to be found in the phenomena
of emotionalism.
President Harrison vas famed
for his coldness. In that instance
{ it was temperament. The poli.i.
clans complained that he shook
hands in a cold way. His man
ner was repelling. Once, I am
told, he personally ordered from
his car a delegation of Grand
Army veterans who, in their en-
thusiasm to see and hear the
candidate, had crowded aboard
/ his train. Then at tho rest sta
ton Harrison made a speech to
an audience of veterans SO elo-
quent that 1t moved them to
tears.
President Wilson has none OF
the Harrison churlishness. He
has personal charm to the high
est degree. He is a good listen
