Mr.. Wilson has admitted an inclin-
alton to get furiously angry over
things that rubbed him the wrong

the president would have welcomed
the opportunity to take on scrap
with anybody.
The public doesn't know Mr.. Will
son as a man Of hot temper. He
has disciplined himself to conceal
it and shrewd men about him have
managed to prevent him from CIV
ing vent to angry passion on pub
lie questions. Left to himself, the
president would most surely have
exhibited his temper long before the
Lansing episode. That's why re-

that from time to time Mr. Wilson
has introduced a sense of humoI

provoked him were brushed aside
and it was only rarely that he

But little by little as the cares
and burdens OF the White house be-
gan to weigh heavily upon him, Mr.
Wilson allowed his passions to get
the better of him. Frequently he
showed to the correspondents as
