WILSON'S MESSAGE
MARKED BY BREv|TY

(By Associated Prcss.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. rs. - Presi-
dent Wilson's annual message to con-
gress, now in the hands of the
printer, contains about 1000 words
and is among the shortest documents
of it's kind on record. 1t points out
that the reports of the several gov
eminent departments will be made
before congress separately and that
therefore their details are not dis
cussed
The president emphasized the UNI
completed legislation on railroads
suggested by him at the last session
to meet the threatened railroad strike
as the most pressing problems facing
congress. He then goes on to a
general discussion Of other domestic
problems.

sciously food chemists, as q rule, and
know how to combine nutrition factors
most effectively. Food economy is not
merely a matter Of using all available
materials, but of using those that are
best suited to the physical requirements.
A great percentage of food eaten in this
country is wasted through lack of the
elements that make for nutrition.
The anti-waste campaign of the
Housekeepers' Alliance has great edu-
cational possibilities. In this matter
domestic science courses in the public
schools should work out to the great ad
vantage of the people. The children who
are learning in their classes about food
values, both chemically and economical
ly, will carry this knowledge into their
homes. But with all this missionary
work there is need of direct instruc-
ton Of the women who manage the
kitchens, who do the buying and who
supervise the cooking or do it them
selves. Many of them are handicapped
by careless, Indifferent or unskilled
hired cooks. This is one of the most
difficult phases of the servant problem
today, due to the lack Of well trained
professional servants who regard their
kitchen service as seriously as does any
technical operative.

From the Boston Transcript.
We hear that Col. House has not vet

There is much reason to believe that
Mr.. Garrison got the President into the
preparedness mire in which the latter
is now left fioundering.
From the Kansas City Star.
1t is a pity that the President, after
sanctioning the Garrison plan, could
not have given 1t the support necessary
to its success.
From the Columbus Journal.
1t is pleasant to see that President
Wilson takes Mr.. Garrison's resfgna-
ton SO calmly.

The Ohio democrats insisting on pro-
posing, Mr.. Wilson has consented to be
a candidate. Sort of leap year situa-
ton.
From the birmingham Age Herald.
President Wilson says he W II not con-
test for the democratic nomination.
Perhaps he thinks it isn't necessary to
do so.
! From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The democratic leaders have to be
pleased with Mr.. Wilson's announced
candidacy.
From the Syracuse Herald.
Come on, now, you timid republican
possibilities President Wilson has
tucked over in the 1916 campaign pond,
and apparently he considers that the
waters fine.

The Annual Art Exhibit.

Last night at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art the twenty fifth annual exhibition
of the Society of Washington Artists was
opened at a private view. This has be-
come a yearly event of Importance,
growing with the increase in the num-
Der of local artists and with the de-
velopment of Washington as an art cen
ter. There are many considerations cal
culated to attract painters and sculptors
to Washington as working place. 1t
possesses an atmosphere conducive to in
spiration and work, and there is a
steadily increasing public appreciation
of artistic endeavor and support and
patronage without which those who
devote their lives to art are greatly
hampered. The quality of the annual
exhibitions of this. society is always
high, increasingly so as the city attracts
here or as it develops artists of ability.
Washington's highest expression will
necessarily be artistidDrather than COM
mercial, and it is fitting that this or
ganization should be steadfast in its en-
couragement of art culture and in that
appeal to the public which is ultimately
the primary function Of art. 1t is to be
hoped that the exhibition will be visited
by great numbers during the weeks Of
its continuance. The Corcoran Gallery
of Art generously co-operates in these
annual exhibits, giving them most at
traetive housing and well deserved

Housekeeping Waste,

An interesting work is to be started
IN this city soon in the direction Of
domestic economics. The Housekeepers'
Alliance of Washington has called q
meeting for February 20 to start an
anti-waste campaign, the purpose of
which is to eliminate as far as possible
the wastage in housekeeping that is a
Ieproach to American intelligence. So
abundant are our resources in this coun-
try, so prosperous have the people been
for generations, that the matter of food
economy is seldom considered. Only
the very poor practice care in the prep
aration of foods, and tons Of wholesome
materials are almost daily wasted in
every city through careless cooking,
serving and kitchen management. It
has been often asserted that the aver
age American family wastes enough food
to keep the average European family
we'll supplied. So true is this that
whenever q pinch comes in a time Of
food shortage through some failure of
supply or perhaps temporary increase
in price and economies are practiced as
emergency measures, the majority Of
Aousekeepers are astonished to find how
great has been their wastage in the past
Foreign cooks have way Of utilizing
food materials that are known to
but a few Americans. Moreover, they
are skilled in the preparation of these
foods in a manner to make them taste
~ ~ attractive. They are uncon-

Wilson. Jackson, Van Buren,.

For while Mr.. Wilson was likened to
Gen. Jackson in the hold he had on his
party, and in the resolution he was ex-
hibiting in insisting on his policies. The
Sixty-third Congress was eating out of
his hand. 1t was doing all he asked, and
asking for orders to do more. He
was bestowing or withholding pat
ronage to suit himself. He was leader,
and no mistake. He was having his way
more completely than any other demo-
crat who had occupied the White House
since Old Hickory's day.
Has that time passed? Has the hick-
DRY in Mr.. Wilson's composition changed
to softer wood? Is the shift of ground
on preparedness, on the tariff commits
sion and on some other things suggestive
of Jacksonf
We must allow. of course, for Mr.. Will
sons present dilemma. Gen. Jackson as
his first term was closing did not face
such a situation as Mr.. Wilson now
|
then as he had been at any time. He
had few enemies in his party. but they
were not formidable. He got his second
term as the reward for a successful first.
Mr.. Wilson faces a divided party-di-
vided not only as to policies but him.
Some very strong democrats disapprove
of features of the record already made,
and even more emphatically of features
Of the record he is proposing. They are
not threatening revolt at st. Louis, but
Mr.. Wilson is concerned to have them
60 to the national convention in better
frame of mind toward him than that
they are now in.
So solicitous is he on this point, in
deed, that his likeness to Jackson is
shading into some likeness to Van
Buren,, Jackson's protege, who was
known in politics as "the Fox Of Kinder
hook" Jackson rarely changed his mind
or ground. Mr.. Van Buren, did, often.
He was a Thoroughbred New York poll
tician. He played the game, and in
many things and for long time played
it successfully.
As his sponsor had had two terms, Mr..
Van Buren, wanted two. He secured the
second nomination, but was denied the
second election. He had played the
game "too fine" and the mistakes he
had made in the White House plagued
him at the polls. His opponent, William
Henry Harrison, received 234 out Of
the 294 electoral votes. In 1848 Mr.. Van
Buren, was the candidate for President
Of the Charm burners" democratic fac
ton of that day, but again failed. The
prophecy Of the campaign song came
true: ivan" was "a used-up man."
