ZIONIST ABE'S" SUCCESSOR

"The heart of the world is under very plain jackets" said President Wilson in a recent speech to the n- luminati of France. "The heart of the world is at very simple firesides. The heart of the world is in very simple circumstances; and unless you know the pressure of life on the humber classes, you know nothing of life what ever."
 In his academic fashion, without ever having been in touch with the "heart of the world," MT. Wilson has arrived at some very true conclusions. Feted by kings while he was spending millions of the hard-earned cash Of people in very simple circumstances, MT. Wilson, with the eye of scholar. could see that the heart of the world was beating under very plain jackets. And in that aloof way of his he wanted the kings, the princes and the aristo- cratic diplomats to make the world safe for democracy and the democratic party.
 For these many years the heart of Woodrow Wilson has been under a frock coat and his brains under either a mortar-board or high silk hat. For the last six months he has been cavort- ing about western Europe with royalty and Mrs. Wilson and he have heard their own hearts beat exultingly as they sat beside kings and queens and munched upon viands served from gold plate. He helped to accenuate the pressure of life on the people by presenting to congress bill of $5,OOO,- 900 to cover the expenses of his last trip. What the next bill will be the people in simple circumstances" can timidly conjecture. In it they are to find, no doubt, one item of $1,OO0,00O for the renovation of the Hotel CrillOn the Paris White House. And when the full bill is presented the heart of the people in simple circumstances will be beating more violently than ever under plain jackets In fact, the jackets are getting plainer and plainer as the administration bills gets big ger and bigger.
 It may be edifying and instructive to recall the simple life of the Demo cratic Lincoln" He looked out upon the humber classes from a charming coign of vantage in his boyhood when they trampled by with books and states to the public schools while "he prepared for college with private tutors" He entered Davidson college at IS years of age and from 1874 to 1902, with the exception of two years of law practice in Atlanta, he kept himself in touch with the heart of the aristocratic universities - Princeton Virginia, John Hopkins, Bryn Mawr, Wesleyan, and then Princeton again. His biography tells us that in 1885 he married the daughter of "a dis tlHBulSnou ldmlly o1 odsdAAdA, Oa.' who passed away in 1914, one who was quite as charming, estimable and ac. complished as any member of her dis tinguished family In 1915 he married a rich Washingtonian, who claims Princess Pocohontas to be one of her ancestors.
 In this way Mr. Wilson has come into absent-treatment touch with the plain Jackets of the world or, perhaps, into closer touch when playing his flaw. orite game of golf while humble cad dies have searched the lanes and by ways for the elusive ball.
