shot Friday night at Sycamore, the
country home of his uncle P. P. Pat
terson, of Richmond. Thomas Will
liams and T. w. ("Jack") Pattcr-

shot him in the back. Dr.. P. E.

President Woodrow Wilson was
fifty-six years two months and four
days old when he took the oath of
Office March 4, 1913. He was the eighth
native Of Virginia to attain the presi-
dency.
About two years after Woodrow Will
sons birth his father accepted a call
to the pastorate of the Presbyterian
church of Augusta, Ga. This was at
that time one of the most influential
congregations In the South, and the
elder Wilson remained as its pastor
throughout the Civil war. He was rec
ognized as one of the leading divines
of the South.
Woodrow was only i've years old
when the war broke out, and as Au-
gusta was not the scene Of any actual
conflict. the boy knew little about what
was going on. He was also shielded
from the stormy passions and violent
prejudices of the war, and grew up
into manhood unwarped by sectional
hate.
The elder Wilson did not force the
education of his son. He took him on
journeys about the city, visiting fac
tories and explaining to him how cloth
is made. He also read to him by the
hour. But the boy himself did not
learn to read until long after the aver
age age when children are supposed to
read. This Is rather remarkable when
one thinks Of the omnivorous appetite
for books the president has always
had. But when he did learn to read
he more than made up for lost time.
He Is. at the present time, one of the
most widely read men In this or any
other country.
The early years of the presidents
life were spent In the interesting
though inconspicuous pursuit of knowl-
edge. He specialized in the law, In
American history, and in political
economy. With this foundation laid
he burst upon the political world in
1910 when he was elected governor of
New Jersey on the Democratic ticket
In the second year of his governor
ship his boom for president was start
ed under the management of William
r. McCombs, one of his former stu
dents at Princeton. During the pre-
convention months no less than half a
dozen other entrants for presidential
honors made their appearance.
At the subsequent Democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore, June
2S-July 2. Mr.. Wilson beat out all en-
tries with vote that increased at
each roll call till his victory was re-
corded on the forty-sixth ballot. In
the election that followed he was an
easy victor over the Taft and Roose-
welt tickets, though his entire popular
vote did not reach that accorded VIII
liam Jennings Bryan In 1908.
OF Scotch-lrish Descent.
President Wilson is the son of Jo-
seph r. and Jessie Woodrow Wilson,
disciples of the Scotch Presbyterian
faith. He was bora In the manse of a
small church In Staunton, Va. where
his father was curate.
From Virginia the Wilson's moved to
Georgia. when Woodrow was about
two years old.
From Georgia the family moved to
South Carolina. In the Old Palmetto
state the future president budded into
youth and began to think upon a ca

and was finally liberated in the early
spring of 1912 because private charity
raised SOS 900 and bought her from the
brigands. Mr.. Roosevelt remained
president for seven years, and during
all that time he did not get the United
States to reimburse private citizens
for the money they paid out because
the United States, with Theodore
Roosevelt at its head, could not vim
dictate the rights of its citizens in for
eign countries.
Miss Stone was captured in Turkey
by Turkish subjects She was kept six
months in Turkey, and money raised
by benevolent people was paid for her
in Turkey, and she was released in
Turkey. What did Bombastes Furioso
Roosevelt do in the six months Miss
Stone was captive, or the ensuing
seven years that he was president, to
make Turkey protect Miss Stone or to
penalize Turkey for its refusal, or its
inability?
Miss Stones case punctuates the
bubble of Theodore Roosevelt's self
conceit.

THE REPUBLICAN

(The New York Evening Post)
This week gives the answer to the
question who are to be in control OF
the Republican convention. Out OF
the total of 985 delegates. over IOO
have now been chosen. They repre-
sent all the large Republican states
except Pennsylvania; and the dele
gates yet to be named can hardly at
feet the general temper and inclination
of the Chicago convention. 1t is al
ready clear that in its great majority
it will be made up of Republicans who
may be variously described as "regu-
lar" safe" or moderate, and VINO
are plainly, as at present ADVISED
against the wild adventure OF nominat-
ing Roosevelt.
So far as there has been an organiz-
ed campaign to force Roosevelt upon
the Republican convention, the univer-
sal and justified opinion is that 1t pass
ed its danger point in the Massachu-
sets primary. This is not simply be-
cause the Roosevelt delegates were
soundly beaten, but that they were
able to muster so small total vote
They did the only open fighting. ihey
had plenty Of money and made plenty
of noise. Personal appeals by the
hundred thousand were sent out 70 the
old Roosevelt following. Yet with the

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
AND ELLEN STONE
philadelphia Record.)

Mr.. Roosevelt says an enormous
number of things. Among them are
many violent. passionate and unjust
things. But of all the things he has
said or could say, nothing could be
more absolutely foolish, more per-
fectly childish. than his boast that he
as President of this nation never
for one moment permitted any Power
to wrong this country or to wrong
Americans, either in their person or
property"
During Mr.. Roosevelts administra-
ton Europe was in profound peace, En-
gland fought war in South Africa,
and Russia fought with Japan in
Korea and Manchuria, but these dis
turbances were so remote that Ameri-
can interests wene untouched. In
Mexico there was perfect order be-
cause Porfrio DiaZ was sitting on the
lid. The Mexican revolution began
in the Taft administration, and the
greatest war that ever occurred, IN
volving more nations than were ever
before at war with each other, and
vitality affecting the most important
branches of our foreign trade, began
seventeen months after Mr.. Wilson
became president.
Does anyone need to be told how
imbecile it is for Mr.. Roosevelt to in.
vite comparison between his task anc
that of Mr.. Wilson?
But we are not confined to gener
ality of this sort, though that alon,t
should be enough to stop the mouth
of even so voluble and inveterate.
talker as Mr.. Roosevelt. We invite
attention to the fact that Mr.. Roose
welt did not rescue Miss Ellen Stone
from Macedonian brigands.
| She was captured about the time HI
became president. She was kept
