WILSON'S WAY IN WAR.
A Character Analysis of the President
BY One of His Intimate Advisers,
Secretary Franklin K. Lane,
In The New York Times.

OF the commander in chief, who is
our president in the present war, and
the first of those qualities is an I'M
fiinching courage. have watched
him for four years with the greatest
interest, and have never seen him
hesitate a second to do a thing that
he believed to be right because either
of political influence or of any effect
it might have upon his own personal
destinies. II takes time to consider.
Sometimes he is too patient to satisfy
those who are impetuous, but, once he
has reached a conclusion, that con-
clusion becomes a part Of his nature.
He is inflexible. Those who are our
allies and those who are opposed to us
should by this time realize that the
commander in chief OF the II. s. is a
man who sees a thing through always,
without hesitation, without comprom-
ising, without fear. He has in his ma
ture no consciousness whatever Of
what 1t is to fear man, which in itself
is not a bad characteristic Of soldier.
And he has a direct objective. He

He was born on a farm and his par

OF view Of the farmer.
He is young man with unlimited

knows where he is going. It takes
time for him to reach his conclusion
as to what is the right objective, but
when he has determined that for him
self he follows that line, and he fol-
lows it through.
His first try-out was on the Fed
eral Reserve act. All said this was
impossible. But eventually he got the
most discordant elements to support
him. AS to courage, take the chal-
lenge that was given over the Nc
Lemore resolution. He believes now
that food control bill is vitality
necessary, and he will get it.
His guide in his conscience, and
the one word that most nearly sum-
marizes his nature and expresses his
career is the word duty. Tell him
what his duty is, and he does 1t. But
he won't take any direction as to what
his duty is from any one, no matter
how intimate he may be-. 1t must
strike a response in his own con-
science. How strong a hold he has
upon himself, how much he is master
of his cwn thought, is Illustrated by
this-that during the period Of our
neutrality, in two years and a half OF
cabinet meetings and of personal con-
/ never heard him utter a
word that was contrary to his own
plea for neutrality made to the people
at the beginning of the war. This
seems like an impossible thing, but 1t
is literally true. He could narrate
facts without bias: he could express
the reactions of the American people
under given circumstances: he could
present the law with relation to the
facts presented: but, no matter what
was underneath, he held strictly to
the rule which he asked others to fol-
low. And this at time when he was
subjected to the most serious criticism
from some who said that he was pro-
German and others who said that he
was pro- English. This shows how
completely he is master Of himself.
"He meets situations by asking
very concretely, What is the thing
that / can do in this situation that
will make for the perpetuation of real
That is his interest in
this war. When he said in his re-
markable, message that he wanted
this world made safe for democracy
he expressed the very deepest feeling
of his nature Thomas Jefferson was
not more truly a democrat, nor was
Lincoln. He visualizes the world not
as so much money, land, or machines,
but as so many men and women and
children.

The Northern Pacific railroad

men on this division to permit
farmers to remove used railroad
ties for fuel purpose.
Years ago, the railways adopted
plan of burning the ties, because
persons hauling them from the

ate between the old and the new
ties, with the result that the rail-
roads suffered heavy losses.
The new move is in line with
