Their Mechanics In
Japan

To be really loved, one must
have nickname. Witness Teddy
Roosevelt, Christy Mathewson, Gen
tleman Jim Corbett and a host of
others. Over in Japan they have
their own system of comforting
nicknames, according to Tom
Cochrane, general manager of Uni
versal productions in the far east.
Eddie Polo is "Samurai super
man." the name given to the mem
bers of the old noble caste.
Mary MacLaren is called "Naku-
me-" or sad eyes.
Dorothy Phillips is "Kire-onna,"
lovely lady"
Monroe Salisbury is "Oki-otoko,"
or big man."
Harry Carey is called "Watashi-
otoko," the gun-man.
Priscilla Dean is "Kichigai-neko,"
the wildcat.

one Of the newspaper men, passing
through the corridor Of the M%ayfiower,
saw the president beating away on his
typewriter. The reporter stuck his
head in the open door and said: May
l come in and see you operate that
machine? have heard SO much about
it l am curious" The president smil-
ingly assented. The thing went blum
deringly, and the president said apollo
g~etically: II can do much better than
this when nobody is looking.
The president has a deep domestic
instinct. He has domesticated his spe
cial train, and is a kind Of parer-
familias to everybody aboard. This
instinct of his explains much that has
been criticised in his administration.
When he receives a man into his Off
ciai family he magnifies his virtues
and puts up with his faults uncom-
plainingly. AS we study this singular
man at close range we begin to under
stand why he has permitted himself
to be handicapped by mediocre assist
ants. Instead of bringing his keen
judgment to bear on the men aroun0
him and wedding them out as occa-
sion required, he has INDUCED his
weakness for protecting his own The
quality Is humanely attractive, but
it is a weight for a president to carry.
The business of distributing Offices is
difficult and puzzling to Mr.. Wilson,
and it was because of his disabilities
in this direction that Col. House got
such a hold. The selection of ambas-
sailors and cabinet ministers was as
pleasing to House as it was perplex-
ing to the president. The Texan re-
veled in being a Warwick.
In envisaging the league Of nations
Mr.. Wilson has been in a field where
he was thoroughly at home. In the
details of the presidency, and particu-
larry in the choosing of men, Mr.. Will
son seems to lack cunning, even judg-
ment. He is weak on neal sight, but
when he looks up and out he has the
kind OF far sight that distinguishes
the statesman.

methods, still faces a deficit of 81, 800

by Representative Good, chairman OF
the house committee on appropriations,

INTIMATE VIEW OF WILSON

Charles H. Grasty, New York Times
correspondent with the presidential
tour, writes the following intimate ac-
count of President Wilson az he ap-
pears to those in close touch with him
on the trip:
The newspaper men who are max
ing the trip with the president have
a chance on Sunday to get together
and talk wei the events Of the week.
All are agreed today that the recep-
ton at Los Angeles was the climax
of the whole tour. 1t was not alone
that this community was a league
stronghold, but that the president was
now getting the cumulative effect OF
his missionary work. Universal adj
miration was expressed for the presi-
dents qualities as a slayer. He does
not spare himself in the work he
has undertaken of arousing the people
to the importance of the treaty. His
powers of endurance and self control
are extraordinary. His gameness At
the big meeting in San Francisco was
all the more remarkable when 1t Is
known, as all of us know, that he
had had a splitting headache for two
days. To master a crowd twice as
big as the hall could fairly accommo-
date, impatient at the inconvenience
and discomfort, was a performance
in will that tailed his TEAMMATES in
r.o,I ~J-n;.;,n AVIAN II IF tho naWc-
paper men as TEAMMATES. Those who
think of Mr.. Wilson as a cold man
would be surprised at the good fellow
ship that exists between him and those
president have ever known was so
entirely free from any presidential
consciousness as he is. He may have
a deep desire to write himself big on
the page of history, but he is absolute
ly free from any petty vanity. Most
of us who are doing this trip think
that the impression Of GOODNESS the
president often makes Is due to exces-
sive shyness. He is far from shy when
he faces an audience, but in the man
to-man relation he is timid. He lacks
exuberance and what may be called
animal heat, and he has an English
mans reserve. Everybody has been
trying to get him to talk more about
the soldiers performances in France
and to identify the units-for instance,
in Washington and Oregon to speak
of what the est Division with its ele'
ments of sturdy northwesterners did
in the Argonne. He is commander In
chief. 1t was he who sent the soldiers
to France. He has the right to speak
of and for any army, but he will not
do that kind of a thing. He just can
not. On one occasion a man who was
urging more oratory with the Ameri
can soldier as the subject stumbled
into the use of the expression "sot
stuff" 1t went through the presiden'
like a knife. He had no desire to ad
minister any reproof. but the discus
sion came to an end.
An illustration OF the president
shyness occurred the other day. wheI

keep the government going. And there
is only one way to raise money for
Uncle Sam and that is by taxes. Chair
Good suggests that President VIII
son should appoint a business mana
ger, an expert in economy, to take
charge Of the finances Of the govern
ment. That Is m way, perhaps, out
of the difficulty. Another way would
be for the president to get rid Of some
of the economy experts" who have
had a hand in the lavish expenditures
that have brought about the $2,500.-
000, 900 shortage in the treasury.
