a Vfrginian, but the son of an Ohio clergyman and of an English mother was a student or teacher of the sci ence, or rather the art of governing for 30 years before he held political office
 That fact was left out of their reck- Oning by the Democratic bosses of cor rupt, machine-ruled New Jersey when they summoned the president of Prince ton university from the golf links one afternoon in the fall of 1910 to receive the nomination for governor. When this supposed novice in politics de- clared, as he fioundered through what, as he had to own up, was his first po- litical speech, that if elected governor he would govern, the politicians nudged one another and laughed in their sleeves at the idea of a professor try ing to run their machine. They laugh ed out loud when they saw him actual ly sit down in the governors chair and begin to play politics out of book.
 Of all things, itswas a book which he himself had written in his youthful school days merely as a thesis for his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins. The young graduate-student made the discovery that our Constitution created a vac uum, which the bosses had rushed in to fill.
 Alas, popular leadership is neither a science nor an art that can be taught out of book.
 Where other leaders of our democ- racy have appealed to the emotions, he is one of the least electric, least dra- matic of our presidents, with no anec- dotes to popularize him, with no leg ends of his youth or myths about his political career to vitaliZe him to the general imagination. He owes his va rious successes at the polls to the cold logic of the political situation and little to his popularity. His acadeIsic alOof ness from politics, at a time when pei iticians had fallen into disfavor, made him the available man for governor in 1910. As candidate for president, he ran poor second to Champ Clark in the popular primaries of 1912. He was nominated at Baltimore only after 45 ballots, and then only as a result of Bryan's overthrow of the steam roller. And he was elected by the division of the Republicans between Roosevelt and Taft, though he received a smaller vote than the Democrats had boiled in three past elections.
 It is the tragedy of Woodrow Will sons nature that when the clements were mixed in him, magnetism was de- nied him, that lodestone which draws the hearts of men. The head has been the powerhouse of his leadership.

now residing in Pueblo, Colorado,
the city which the disastrous flood
and cloudburst partly destroyed
some few days ago. Besides her
mother, her stepfather, a brother,

Pueblo county, and an aunt are liv-

yet, received any word from since
the terrible disaster.
However. as all of the aforemen-

the flooded area. the anxiety is not
as great as if they were in the buSi-

height.

Opened to General Public
Tomorrow, 3 to 8 P. M.

SEARCHLIGHTS ARE READY

| Instead of having a dedicatory
program on top of the new 100000
1000 gallon water reservoir which has
just been completed along Florida
Grove Road here. as had been origin
ally planned, it has been decided to
give the residents of this city an op-
portunity to inspect the huge con-
| tainer on the inside before water is
admitted and tomorrow has been fix
ed as the day for inspection.
City Engineer Morgan f. Larson,
, the resident engineer in charge of
the construction work, is making the
plans for the inspection and will be
on hand to personally conduct tours
of investigation through the reser-
voir. The hours of inspection will
be from s until s o'clock. everyone
being welcome to look over the mill
lion dollar project and inspect the
interior before it is filled with water.
The work of cleaning the interior
walls and floor has been completed
and as soon as the disinfecting with
chloride of lime has been completed
the large supply mains will be open
ed and the reservoir will be filled,
its capacity being such as to contain
four or five days supply.
Concrete stairs go from the boat
hole TO the bottom of the reservoir
and temporary platforms and stairs
will be built tomorrow so that the
women may not experience any great
trouble in going down into the reser-
voir. AS the reservoir is entirely
covered over and there are only a
few small manholes, it would be
difficult to see anything inside if ar
rangements had not been made to
install eight large searchlights which
will play on the inside. making the
interior as light as day.
ONE idea of the amount of ma
terial used in building this reservoir
has been given by Engineer Larson.
ton, he said. is sufficient to lay a
concrete road eighteen feet wide and
twelve miles long. There were used
in this work 1T, 900 bags of cement
which made 20,400 cubic yards of
concrete. The excavation amounted
to 10000 and 1900 tons of steel were
used in reinforcing the concrete.
The work was commenced April
12. 1920, by the Snare &c Triest Com
pany. which was given fourteen
| months to complete it. This time
limit will have elapsed this Sunday.
All of the top covering has been
placed on the reservoir and is now
being seeded. The road leading to
the reservoir is being repaired and
all of the machinery and temporary
| storage buildings and offices have
| disappeared.
In addition to Engineer Larson
| there will be present tomorrow af-
| ternoon at the inspection Mayor
William G. Wilson, superintendent
of the Water Department Samuel j
Mason, members of the Board OF
Aldermen and members of the
Board of Water Commissioners.
The contract price for the work
was $1,095,000. When asked how
near this figure the final cost would
come Mr.. Larson said jokingly that
the excess over the contract price
would be less than one-half of one
per cent" of the cost and therefore
no violation of the law (either state
finance law or prohibition).

WAGE RATE WRANGLE BY ALDERMEN
Waters Answers Attack
Made By Clark On Wage

Following the receipt of bids by
the aldermen last night for altera-
tions to the municipal orphans

as to the rate of wages that should
be paid by the contractor doing this
work ensuei in which personalities
were INDUCED in and wordv battle
was staged on the council chamber
floor with Alderman John j. Clark
and Alderman Albert G.. Waters the
principals.
The trouble started when Alder
man Clark made a motion to the ef-
feet that the successful bidders on
the orphans home work be instruct
ed to pay the prevailing rate of
wages and hire fair labor. Alder
man Thomas Patten seconded this
motion. In reply to a question by
Alderman Waters as to what he con-
sidered the prevailing rate, Alder
man Clark replied "S1.25 per hour
for bricklayers and others to receive
the same as they were getting prior
to May l." Alderman Waters then
declared he would not vote for such
a motion, adding that it would most
likely tie up the work as the con-
tractor on this particular job should
be forced to pay higher wages than
were other contractors.
City Attorney Leo Goldberger said
the specifications call for the pre-
vailing rate of wages. Alderman
Clark maintained the specifications

PLEA FOR JOB
BY UNDERH|LL
Senator Brown, His Attorney,
Says Matter Rests With
Discretion of Aldermen.

Lester J. UnderhilL formerly a
member of the local police force, had
letter before the Board of Alder-
men last night requesting reinstate-
ment on the force and State Senator
Thomas Brown. his attorney, made
a plea for his return to the force by
the aldermen.
After hearing the remarks of the
senator, the aldermen decided to re-
fer the matter to Mayor William G.
Wilson as he alone has the appoin-
tive power. Underhill resigned
from the force about two months ago
giving no reason for his doing so at
the time.
Last night Senator Brown in
speaking on behalf of his client said
that Underhill had been on the
force for eight years, was married
and had a family. An alteration
with the head of the police depart
ment over a proposed tour of duty
was responsible for the former pa
trolman losing his head" and reach
ing the decision that he would re-
sign. The senator said that there
were no charges against Underhili
that he had heard of. There is no
regulation covering the situation
Senator Brown pointed out, when "a
police officer resigns al time when
no charges have been made against
him.
II do not know what you think of
Underhill personally" the attorney
said, but all are given to misjudg-
ment. This follows in every walk of
life. This rash step by Underhill
Injuries his family. l ask you to
give him chance. You cannot be
forced to do this and you cannot be
compelled to act against your own
discretion"
The senator said Underhill is will
ing to go back and to lose the salary
for the time he has been off duty on
condition he goes back at the old
rate of pay.
Alderman Clark pointed out that
the appointing power lies with the
mayor, a precedent having been al
ready established in the case of John
Whitworth. He said that the alder
men can only act upon an appoint
ment made by the mayor.
There was no argument or discus
sion by the board on the matter of
Underhill's reinstatement and the
regular order of business was con-
tinued. When the reports of the var
ious committees were called for by
the clerk and police committee fail
ed to make any report, Alderman
Clark asked why no report had been
made of the fining of Patrolman Jo-
seph Gaydos. The fifth ward alder
man demanded report of the COM
mittee on its action in filming the Of
ficer SIS. He was informed that
charges had been preferred against
the officer by the chief and they
had been turned over TO the mayor.
