Former President Warns Those

After Fund Meeting.

MISUNDERSTANDING anew his
confidence in the vitality OF the
League OF Nations" former President
Wilson warned an impromptu gath.
ertng at his home on s street that
those who opposed the League will
have to look out for themselves"
A motion made by man In the
audience at meeting OF the Wood
row Wilson foundation that those
present pay their respects To the for
mer chief executive, led to spon
tane0us pilgrimage of several thou
sand admirers and friends OF Mr.. VII
son through two miles OF slushy
streets to his residence There the
crowd increased and swiftly resolved
itself into an enthusiastic demonstra
ton.
0ompsrs 10 Spokesman.
Mr.. Wilson's remarks were in reply
to Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of labor. who
acting as spokesman for the crowd.
had declared that its presence offered
proof that the League Of Nations was
not dead.
Il need hardly tell you how such a
demonstration OF friendship and con
hdence makes me feel" Mr. Wilson
replied. There can be no doubt OF
the vitality OF the League Of Nations.
1t will take care OF itself. and those
who do not regard It will have no
anxiety for It. My only anxiety Is to
see our great people turn their faces
In the right direction and move with
all their force. I thank you for all
this. ! don't deserve II. but I enjoy
It. nevertheless"
The former President was assist cd
TO the door by Mrs. Wilson. who
shared with him the plaudits of the
crowd.
Mr. Wilson's voice. while lacking
the volume OF his more vigorous days.
was strong enough to carry to most
OF those who damned the street In
front OF his home. At one point when
tho cheers became especially vocifer.
Gus. MIR. Wilson made a motion 40
though he intended to walk down the
steps and shake hands with those

4 FTER Woodrow Wilson had been

A FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
"A teaching in the classroom for q
quarter Of q century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like a prime
minister, trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island Of author
ity," the opportunity came to him to
put his theory in practice. When con-
gress met In extra session q month
after his Inauguration he walked In

stopped only because he happened to
have a poor voice and was an awk-

whenever he had any special business,
and talking things over in the open.
The president succeeded not by
arousing personal loyalty to himself
but by the force Of his ideas. II have
had a majority on the floor. but" he
admitted. "never q majority In the

Here are the outstanding items 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 q piece Of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted In this country. We were abso-
lutely without 4 financial system. and
the money Of the nation was in the
irresponsible control Of . few big
banks In New YORK.
Every attempt to remedy this situa.
tion had failed because private flnan-
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-
ress refused to pass It.
The federal reserve act 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 competition, and
this omission denied him q flowing
communication with his fellows q nat
ural limitation which was confirmed
By the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurry burly
Of politics.
President Wilson has been q lonely
figure in the White House. He came

while Fairchild merely stood there,
staring wonderingly at a ten-dollar
bill!
A noise from the rear, growing
louder, and the amazed man turned
to see a second machine, filed with
men, careening toward him. Fifty
feet away the brakes creaked, and the
big automobile came to a skidding,
du~st-throwing stop. A sun-browned
man in a Stetson hat, metal badge
cleaning from beneath his coat,

Let's go!" The sheriff was press

the hill went the car, to skid, then to
make n short turn on to the road
which led away from the scent, leav-
ing behind a man standing In the
middle of the road, staring at a ten
dollar bill-and wondering why he
had lied!
