AT THE NATIONS SEAT.

WASHINGTON, July S.--A "tardy mind" This is the latest diagnosis of President Wilson's trouble.
 Writing-to the extent of nearly two columns-to the New York Sun from Worcester, Mass, A. E. P. Rockwell, M. D., offers a study of "The Mind of an Executive" set forth in highly sci entiic terms. Reduced to simple terms, his findings are that the presi- dent does not think rapidly, and that when the presidents mind does catch up with existing facts, critics assert that he has "flopped.
 "A tardy mind, not an alert one, writes Dr. Rockwell; "an overween- ing confidence in his own Judgments. not in those of experts; obstinacy in rejecting advice, not persistence in seeking it, have made possible the extraordinary group of recantations which have punctuated MT. Wilson's career"
 MT Wilson is not a dreamer of dreams" asserts the doctor; 'he can not see beyond the veil. He lacks that divine imagination inseparably associ- ated with leadership and the grasp of great problems. He has not the gift of government to which intuition makes such potent and subtle contri- button That mental elasticity which tributes of master intellects is stran- ger to Mir Wilson"
 Had Dr. Rockwell sought instances in support of this theory he might have cited the "too proud to fight speech, made in Philadelphia soon af- ter the Lusitania massacre, as an eX- ample showing lack of ability on the part of the president to project his mind in future, as well as lack of in tuition
 'If Washington and Lincoln had pos sessed tardy and inelastic minds this country would not have endured is Dr. Rockwells judgment.
 President Wilson himself has said that he possesses a "single-track mind" but "tardy mind" is something new. It is a contribution to the polit- ical literature of the day.
 Washingtonians know of instances innumerable that seem to support the Rockwell theory. Here is one:
 A visitor at the White House the other day recalled to the president a mutual friend, man who lived for months nthe same boarding house with the president in their younger days, now an invalid residing in a Southern city.
 After moments conversation about this man the visitor drew from his pocket a postal card, addressed to the mutual friend On it was written a brief and kindly greeting, with blank left for a signature.
 MT President" said the visitor, twill you not sign this and have it put in your mail? It will make the old man very happy.
 Affrighted, the president drew back. "Oh, mo-" said he. q could not do a thing like that offhand."
 Which indicates,' said witness of the incident, that the president can not think quickly. He let the thought of the rule not to sign anything off hand cloud his vision, and lost the op- portunity to do kindly act that could have no evil effects on him. Most of our American public men are quicker witted."

THE GOVERNOR AND THE
ROAD LAW,


In the message of the governor tC
the legislature in extra session, great
stress is laid on the road law en-
acted by the last legislature and
some amendments are recommended
Without going into the merits OF
the amendments or the need of them
it is generally conceded that the law
itself has not had fair trial. Since
however amendments are evidently
necessary, it behooves the governor
to take into consideration some fea-
lures of the bill which aroused oppo.
sition of the former commissioner
Of highways and the Justice of which
has made itself apparent.
The department should be relieved
of the duty of collecting the tax.
II has no place there. Tax collectors
are not viewed with the best of feel
ings, and are considered necessary
evil of the government The com
missioner of highways should not
be burdened with this work, his time
is too valuable in other directions.
The working out of any tax should
not be tolerated for one moment
This system takes us back to the old
days, and was considered the first
step. All of the older states have
abandoned it long ago, and in fact
We're compelled to do so before they
could get any roads at all.
Those states which are making the
most progress in road building are
those which maintain two units. The
state as a unit, under the direction of
the state highway department owns,
builds, and maintains its own system
of roads properly laid out and govern.
ed by all of the laws of continuity
which bespeak real state roads. The
county takes care of its roads, which
interlock and connect with the state
roads.
The state provides the plans and
specifications for all roads and bridg-
es and the counties are glad to con
form to n common and practical type
suited to their several needs
The Oklahoma state highway de-
partment has on file now plans and
specifications for bridges. which have

PUNISHING THE OklAHOMAN

The state senate has voted by {
narrow margin to deny the represent
ative of The Daily Olllahoman the
privilege of the press table in the
senate chamber. Viewing the situa
tion from this distance, it seems that
the senate has taken hasty action.
If The Oklahoman were pcrsistently
publishing misleading articles; il it
were to set out upon a studied cam
paign to slander the senate, then the
senate would be justified in such
action.
But that is not true. The Oklahoman
is publishing the news of the legisa-
ture, and no expression of criticism
was heard against the news it pub
fishes. What the senate did object
TO was the publication of an interview
with one of the members of that body.
The senator who gave out the inter
view ought to take the responsibility
upon the floor of the senate for its
publication.
1t is rather hard for 4 newspaper
always to be right and there is but
one way to Judge a publication, and
that is by the general trend of its
news, and not by one article. Every
public man makes his mistakes, and
every newspaper does the same thing.
We do not mean to say the publication
of the interview was an error We
did not observe it and the senate, too,
seems to have overlooked it for one
full week.
4 stroke at the legitimate press
Is a stroke at the public. The news
gatherers time belongs to the public.
lie has n right to so wherever the
public is Interested, and the most de-
voted and self-sacrifcing set of pub
lie servants in any state are the
newspaper men. The Oklahoman is
the one paper in the state that has
an opportunity of going into more
nearly all the homes of the state than
any other. 1t ought to be given every
opportunity to gather all the news
and stroke delivered at it is against
the homes where it is read
The senate cannot put The Okla
homan out of business, and The Ok
lahoman cannot do away with the
senate They must learn to quarrel
if need be, without delivering punish
ment We hope to see The Okla !
homan decline to return anger for
anger but pursue its course of gath
erng the news and leave all the |
fighting that must be done to its
readers, who depend upon il for in
formation concerning what the state
government is doing.

CHARLES EVANS

! The army of Christian education in
Oklahoma has received reinforcements
that will make it a formidable force,
The state schools have lost that power
which has built the greatest normal
training school in the United States.
Charles Evans at the beginning of
the next school year will be at the
head of Henry Kendall college, at
Tulsa, a Presbyterian school, and at
the close of the present school year
he will leave the Central Normal,
state institution located at Edmond,
Okla.
Edmond is the greatest normal
training school in the United States
i'm point of attendance. and judging
from the man who is at its head, we
feel safe in saying that IT stands first
in the quality of work done. While
the actual attendance is not greatest
vet the work done by Charles Evans
is greater than the work Of any other
man at the head Of any other normal

I been passed on by some of the bright
est engineers in the United States
and considered perfect. These plans
cover the entire field of culyert and
bridge work of permanent nature
and all that is necessary is the insist
ence of conformity by the various
counties.
II must again be taken into con-
sideration that federal aid is sure
TO come. A bill has already passed
the lower house Of congress providing
for millions. The federal government
will expect wise and efficient admin
istration of its appropriation for road
work before it is allowed the states.
The present rigid winter has been
disastrous to the roads of the state,
and it will not be long before the
people will expect some relief, for
relief they must have, and the ways
and means should be comprehensively
provided before the present session
expires.
Governor Williams will find The

and all times to assist in bringing
about conditions which will bring
about good roads, and it unheslta-
tingly endorses the governors plan
as embodied in the gross production
