COLONEL HOUSE, WILSON'S
FRIEND NOT A MYSTERY

him daily into the places where men
throng. If one wants to know about
him through motives other than those
Of the idleness Of curiosity he can see
him and talk with him, and the
chances are that he will be told every
thing concerning the subject of his in
curing curiosity that any man of
modest mien and inclination naturally
would be willing to tell. Colonel House
is a genial man who seemingly never
has sought to define for personal use
the meaning Of either of the words,
GOODNESS or austerity. He has sense
Of humor well developed, and tenn
peramental warmth.
Secret of His Power.
In Houston, Texas, in the year 1858,
Edward M. House was born. He was
educated at the Hopkins grammar
school, New Haven, Conn, and at
Cornell university. He has been active
all his adult life in Democratic politics,
but never has been candidate for Of
flee.
Add to these admittedly meager de-
tails one fact and unquestionably you
will have the secret Of this mans pow
er to attract other men to him for the
purpose Of consultation On really high
public matters. From the day that he
was old enough to undertake serious
study, Edward M. House has been deep
in the books Of politics, economics and
legislation. He has marshaled In his
mind all the greater events which have
happened In these three words. More
over, he has the men, the things and
the motives connected with each case
constantly In procession before him.
He Is quick to trace cause to an eff
feet, or to 60 the reverse route. He
has been student Of human nature
as 1t has shown itself In many Of the
great problems Of human life. This
means that he has in him, or at any
rate men believe that he has in him,
the qualifications which go to make
up sound diplomat.
Through successive administrations
in Texas the governors Of the state,
one after another, consulted Colonel

ingly time enough has gone by and
things enough have been proved or
disproved to give certainty to the
word that Woodrow Wilson has found
Edward NJ. House an advisory asset
There hardly can be much of real
mystery about a man who twice since
this great war began las been sent
abroad as a special commissioner for
the president of the United States. Coz
onel House has been twice in BerliQ,
five times in Paris, and frequently in
other of the great European capitals
Some day it may be that Woodrow
Wilson will write what may be called
an photographed review of his ad-
ministration. If he does 1t is entirely
likely that the part taken by Colonel
House in the shaping of some Of the
policies of the president may be given
the page place which many men De-
lieve that it deserves.
No Mystery There.
While living in New York Colonel
House resides in an apartment not
very far uptown. 1t Is a homelike
place where good books are found and
where good friends may come. 1t is a
genial place and no curtain Of mystery
hangs over the door of any one Of Its
rooms. Men go there and are well
come. They go and they talk. Man
learns as much from man as he learns
from books and more perhaps II we
believe the ancient saying about the
proper study Of mankind.
1 asked Colonel House what his rec
reations are. He said, Friends, read
ing and walking" His library shelves
show the kind of books that he has
read, still Is reading and will continue
to read, for those in the book cases
are made the companions day by day
of the others as they come from the
hands Of writer's worth while.
No man probably can read politics.
legislation, economics and history con-
stantly without getting some Of DR..
Dry-as-Dust's characteristics. So 1t Is
that Colonel House does not read the
four formidables constantly. He turns
to fiction and here one finds something
Of possibly more than passing human
interest.
George Frisbie Hoar Of Massachus-
etts was one of the scholars in politics.
It was said Of him that he had read
everything from Aristophanes' "Frogs"

House on public matters. How deep
an impression he has made on Texas
legislative history never may be known
definitely, but there Is enough salient
to make Texans know that they are
right in attributing to him many OF
their public welfare acts.
Though not accounted wealthy In
these days Of huge fortunes, Colonel
House Is quite well fixed financially
and is not engaged in business of any
kind.
Has Studied Hard.
have talked to Colonel House and
have learned things which make me
feel that 1 shall not go wrong when I
try to put an Interpretation upon some
of his methods of doing things. He is
free enough to say that he has studied
hard at economic, political and legts-
lative subjects. He probably even
would be willing to admit that he
thinks the results Of these studies con-
tinued and their results retained, have
enabled him to be Of some service
when men were seeking information
concerning events In the past which
have relation to events in the present
or events expected In the future.
Therefore, there Is here a man who
has held what he has studied, who
has collated and correlated the hap
penings of history, who has drawn
lessons from them. who takes an in
terest as deep In the living present as
he does In the dead past, and who men
believe is able to make his knowledge
serviceable, for old as 1t Is let US say
it, history repeats itself.
Woodrow Wilson did not meet his
friend Colonel House until the days
when he was holding Office as COVER
nor of New Jersey. 1t Is said by
friends Of Mr.. Wilson that almost In
stantly he came to understand why
the Texan had been of service along
constructive lines to some of the gov
errors of the state In which he has
lived most of his life. For six or seven
years Mr.. House has been the conf
dant and the counsellor of the presi-
| dent of the United States. and SEEM

Woodrow Wilson, 1t Is said, turns
away from the studies Of states, past
and present and in prospective to the
reading of what the English call penny
dreadfuls, and what the Americans In
the old days called yellow backs. It
is said that the speaker Of the. house
Of representatives, Champ Clark, stops
frequently his mental digging into all
kinds of history to take up for relief
purposes books of the kind which
make boy happy.
Reads Good Fiction.
In the library of Colonel House
there is plenty Of good fiction. He
does not turn to Nick Carter, nor to
1.-THE Hidden Hand" Of Mrs. e. d. T..
N. Southworth, nor yet to "Owl Face,
The Pawnee" Of Beadle dime novel
fame, but he manages to keep the men-

on the work Of preparing material
