To THE Hon. WOODROW WILSON. THE
WHITE HOUSE:
WASHINGTON, June 8, 1916.
Ny Dear Mr.. President: I see by
the papers that it is repeatedly an
nounced that you are writing the plat
form. Now ! want to take the liberty
of saying that this is not altogether
good news to me. Our platform should
contain such an. appreciation Of you
and your Administration that you
could not write it, much less have ii
known that you have written 1t. II
should be one long joyful shout OF ex-
ultation over the achievements of the
Administration, and l can't quite see
you leading the shout.
The Republican party was for half
a century a constructive party, and
the Democratic party was the party of
negation and complaint. We have
taken the play from them. The Demo-
cratic party has become the party of
construction. You have outlined new
policies and put them into effect
through every department, from State
to Labor. Therefore, our platform
should be generously filled with words
of boasting that will hearten and make
proud the Democrats of the country;
a plain tale of large things simply
done.
II there is any truth ~ all in the
newspaper statement and any purpose
in making it, perhaps the end that Is
desired might be reached by n state
ment that you are not undertaking
to write the platform, but that at the
request OF some OF the leaders you are

Suggestions on Action.

To THE Hon. WOODROW WILSON, THE
WHITE HOUSE:
WASHINGTON, Aug 2S, 1916.
M Dear Mr.. President: have had
talks this morning with three men. all
of them Democrats, all of them
strongly for you under any circum-
stances. None of them are related to
railroads or to labor unions. Two OF
them have recently been out of this
city and believe that they have a
knowledge OF the feeling of the coun-
try. All express the same view, and
I want to tell it TO you in case you
write message to Congress.
They say that the people do not
grasp the meaning of your statement
that society has made it's judgment
in favor of an eight hour day. This.
the people think, is matter that can
be arbitrated. They ask why can't 1t
be arbit~ated? They say that the
country feels that you have lined
yourself up with the labor unions
irrevocably for an eight hour day, as
against the railroads, who wish to ar
bitrate the necessity for putting in an
eight hour day Immediately and ire
spective of the additional cost to the
railroads. They say that the men are
attempting to bludgeon the railroads
into granting their demand. which has
not been shown to the people to be
reasonable. This demand is that the
men should have ten hours pay for
eight hours work or less. They say
that if this question cannot be arbi-
trated. the railroads must yield on
every question and that freight rates
and passenger rates, instead of going
down, as they have for the last twenty
years, must inevitably increasingly
go up. They say that the people do
not realize that you have been willing
to entertain any proposition made by
the railroads. but that you have stood
steadfastly for something which the
men have demanded.
Now, all of this indicates a lack OF
knowledge OF what your position has
been. 1 am giving you the gist Of
these conversations because they rep
resent a point of view so that If you
desire you may meet such criticism.
You must remember, Mr.. President,
that the American people have not
had for fifty years President who
The New York herald., 1922-11-15

man imaginable to work with. Most
of us In politics have been used to
being lied about, but there has been
a particularly active set of liars en-
gagged in giving the country the i'm
preston that w. w. was what we call
out West a "cold nose" He is the
most sympathetic, cordial and con-
siderate presiding officer that can be
imagined. And he sees so clearly. He
has no fog in his brain.
AS you perhaps know, / didn't want
to go into the Cabinet, but / am de-
lighted that I was given the oppor-
tunity and accepted it, because of the
personal relationship; and 1 think all
the Cabinet feel the way that I do.
If we can't make this thing a success
the Democratic party is absolutely
gone, and entirely useless.

The Great Problem.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. 1913.


Washington is now greatly stirred
because Wilson has frowned upon the
inaugural ball--a very proper frown,
to my way of thinking-but inasmuch
as all of the merchants who advance
money for the inaugural ceremonies
recoup themselves from the receipts
from the inaugural ball, there is much
weeping and waiing and gnashing of
teeth. and Wilson will enter Washing
ton, in my judgment, a very unpopular
President, locally. The fact is. think.
he is apt to prove one of the most
tremendously disliked men in Wash
ington that ever has been here.
He has a great dsrespect for indi-
viduals. and, so far as | can discover.
a very large respect for the mass His
code is a little new TO us; and l feel
justified in proceeding upon the theory
that every man should help him, and
that il is within his (Wilson's) proper
function to throw Mr.. Everyman down
whenever public good requires 1t. and
that his silence never estops him from
interfering at any time. Perhaps you
cannot make out just what this means.
L am dlCldtlnB, SlIllflS III my iooih dI
home with very bad cold. and per-
haps I do not know precisely what
mean myself; but l am trying to say
that under all circumstances Wilson
regards himself as a free man, and
that he is bound by no ties whatever
to do anything or to follow any course;
that he recognizes no such thing as
consistency, or logic. or gratitude, as
in the slightest embarrassing him.
/ do hope that the President will get
some capable effective Administration
officers who will take the burden OF
patronage off his shoulders and give
him n chance to think On the money
question, which is his big problem. |
like his Chicago speech, like his New
York speech, but l do not find many
people who understand him, because
he is really a sort of philosopher. He
teaches the psychology of new thought,
the influence and effect of thought
upon government.

ECLIPSE PHOTOGRAPHS

Taken in Australia. on Way
Here for Examination.

HONOLULU, It. H., Nov. II (Associated
Press).-Twelve Photographic plates,
carefully packed. the results of photo
graphs of the recent solar eclipse, taken
at Wollal. Australia. by Prof. w. w.
Campbell of Lick Observatory. Califor-
mia, and his assistants. which passed
through here to-day, are believed to be
the evidence whether Einstein's theory
is correct or not.
Prof. Campbell said that surface in
spection of the plates indicated that the
exposures had successfully registered
the heavenly panorama as it stood dur
ing the darkening of the sun September
21 last, but that microscopic measure
ments would have to be made before
any announcement of proof or disproof
of Einstein's theory of the bending of
star rays in their passage to. the earth.

To have Gary, and Armour, and Per-
kins as your chief boomers doesn't
make you very popular in Kansas and
Iowa. Hughes may be the easiest
man to beat, after all, because he
vetoed the income tax amendment in
New York, a two cent fare bill, and
other things which are pretty popular.
He is a good man, honest and fine, but
not a liberal. The whole Congress
sional push has been for Hughes for
months, but I haven't believed that he
would accept the nomination. I made
the prophecy to some newspaper men
the other day that Roosevelt would
get in and indorse Hughes with both
fists. They were inclined to doubt
this, but I still believe that / am
right.
To-day comes word that Kitchener
has been drowned and Yuan Shi Kai
poisoned. Heaven knows whose turn
comes next. Just think of three such
events within a week as the sea battle
off Denmark. the greatest naval battle
of the world; the torpedoing of the
Secretary of War and all of his staff:
and the poisoning of the Emperor of
China l doubt if there ever was
period in the whole history of the
world when things moved as fast and
there was as much that was exciting.
OF course now we have it all thrown
onto a screen in front Of our faces,
whereas a hundred years ago we
would have had to wait for perhaps
a year before knowing that the En-
peror of China had been killed. Never
theless l think there is more passion
and violence on exhibition to-day than
at any time in a great many years.

Curse of the Day.

/ am afraid that we are going to
have a great deal of trouble in getting
our preparedness program through
because of dissension in our own ranks
and because the Republicans are so
anxious to take advantage of this
emergency to raise the tariff duties
and to gain credit for whatever is
done in the way of preparation. We
are too much dominated by PARTISAN
ship to be really patriotic. This is a
very broad indictment, but it seems
to be justified. OF course the people
like Bryan and Ford, and the women
generally. are moved by philosophy
that is too idealistic. and some OF them
are only moved. l fear. by an intense
exaggerated ego. IL / would have to
name the one curse of the present

toriety and the assumption by almost
every one that his judgment is as good
as that of the ablest. OF course the
trouble with the ablest people is that
they are so largely moved by forces
that do not appear on the surface that
one does not know that the views they
express are really their own judg-
ment. Democracy seems to be govern
ment by suspicion, in large part. We
have faith in ourselves, but not in
each other. A man to be good par
tisan seems called upon to believe that
every man of different views is a
crook or a weakling. This is the
Roosevelt idea And half of it is the
Bryan idea.
