Since the revolution we have had

Speaking of books and things I
am indebted to Gregory Scott Rob-
bins, a young Pennsylvania poet,
for his autographed book of verse.
I especially admire his quatrain to
Pagilacci which follows:
He laughs, with ashes in his heart,
His humor and his wit impart
The magic of that frozen smile:
He dies a thousand deaths the while.

An egg Is never any better In quality

and placed in hot kitchen near de-

quality egg placed in cold storage for
several months will possess quality,
though far from being freshly laid.

eggs after being laid that has every
thing to do with the maintenance OF

the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious days before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such a heavy
responsibility; he had 20 bear it alone
and without precedent to guide him.
Should we give q further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we en-

fare against the submarine menace to

leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
servedly, contrary to the historic pol
Icy of America to so it alone?
Those alternatives were in every
mind in that bewildering period. and
the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be sub
mitted to congress. He made the
holder choice of going into full part

4 S he stood at the clerks desk in
1 a. the hall Of the house Of repre-
sentatlyes on the evening of April 2,
1917, President Wilson was the central
figure in one Of the great moments Of
world history. Not only his own people
but mankind stopped to listen.
The president had been reelected
only five months before because "he
kept us out OF the war; Alas, the
war would not keep out of the United
States.
The war took on new fury, with the
resumption Of ruthless summarizing,
which Germany had modified the year
before at our demand. The president
thereupon handed the German ambas-
sador his passports, and next he pro-
posed that we should arm our mer-
chant ships. The fllibustering SEN
ate falling to give him this authority,
he proceeded himself to arm them. But
shipping vanished from the sea, with
its hidden terror, and at last he called
the newly elected congress in extraor-
binary session to receive commune
cation-concerning grave matters Of
national policy"
No other president in the whole
course Of his service has had to make
so many momcntous decisions as
Woodrow Wilson has had to make in

the repeal of Panama tolls, the ship
ping act. the child labor law, the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law is pOten-
TALLY as great piece of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted in this country. We were abso.
lutely without q financial system, and
the money Of the nation was in the
irresponsible control of a few big
banks in New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa-
ton had failed because private finan-
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control Of the money. The Aid
rich bill in the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction of law
to this private domination, but con-
gress refused to pass it.
The federal reserve net simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control of its own money.
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force that pushed through the
federal reserve bill and the rest of the
legislative program.
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson's composition, and
this omission denied him a flowing
communication with his fellows, a nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
by the life he bad led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurry burly
of politics.
President Wilson has been a lonely
figure In the White House. lie came
to the presidency n stranger to public
men, and no president can make new
frlends-real friends.
His reelection was one of the big
surprises Of our presidential elections.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten, and Hughes went to bed with
the assurance that he was president
elect.
After all the great industrial states
which had decided the elections in the
past, except Ohio, hnd sent in reports
of Republican victories, the tide was
turned by the far West which had
been almost forgottcn IN the reckon
ing, but where the c1nr,ryative inter.
ests hnd less influence, At last the
returns from remote hamlets In the
Serras gave California to the presl-
