HI SCHOOL STUDENTS
GIVE FINE PROGRAM
ATL|TERARY CONTEST
Winners Will Represent Mariet-
Ia at District Meet in
Dalton
Raymond Rice


The annual preliminary contest to
choose the representative of the To-
eel high school in music, recitation,
and defamation at the district meet
packed the auditorium of the First
Baptist church Friday evening with
proud parents and friends of the
youthful contestants.
They were justly proud. During
our several years as an attendant at
these annual events we have never
seen such a galax of talent. How
the judges in the various events de-
cided the winners is a mystery to US.
The only way we can imagine was by
drawing straws.
Before going into detail it might
be well to give the names of the win
ners. Miss Lucille Allen won first
place in recitation, while Miss Vir-
GINA Goodman won second place.
Randolph Claiborne won first on mu-
sic with Miss Mary Hodges second.
James Haiti and Miss Mary Linda
Abbott won honorable mention in
this section. Charles Schilling took
first place in defamation with Ran
dolph Claiborne second.
Miss Allen, the winner of the reci-
tation contest, gave her rather diff
cult skit in a most charming manner.
She chose for her piece cutting
from ''The Prophet" Her imperson-
alton of frightened little boy, a
kind lady, and an old fashioned coun-
try farmer were excellent. She han
died her assignment with the skill of
a professional.
Miss Goodman, who ran second to
Miss Allen, was great in her inter
probation of nervous mother. She
brought rounds of laughter from the
audience time otter time. Miss Good
man certainly deserved her second
place and we would pick her as a
winner in an average group. But
the group last evening was not an
average. 1t was for above par.
Miss Athalene Bishop rendered her
selection, "The Lie" with true pro-
fessional poise as did Miss Arana
Watson, her "The Little Match Girl
Miss Virginia Creel kept the audience
in silence with her Interpretation Of
the sweet old recitation "The Fiddle
Told"
At the piano Randolph Claiborne
was wonderful in his rendation of
"Lievstraum" by Liest. He kept his
audience spell bound by the charm of
his touch. 1t seemed as though it
was the old master himself playing
and not one of our own boys. His
choice was popular one. Miss Mary
Hodges who played "Etude de Con-
certe" by Mcdowell, well deserved
second place. Her grace and charms
at the piano won her much deserved
praise.
The judges felt that the field was
so good and the contestants so close
ly matched that they awarded two
honorable mentions. One went to
little James Haiti. James, who is
very petit in statue, is only fresh
man. 1t was hard to realize this
when one heard him send forth the
wonderful notes from his piano. He
chose the sweetest composition of the
sweetest composer, "Minuet," by
Paderewski. Those who saw this

In case literacy bill comes up be- fore the next session of the legisla- ture, it should be framed to include all whites not able to read and write as well as Indians The Gateway be- lieves that any Indian who is educat- ed enough to read and write is on the
 road to good citizenship and is far ahead in this respect of the white man who can do neither. Any bill framed for the purpose of disfran- chising the Indians will fail. It should be general in scope and show no ra- cial antiquities. There could be no objection to such bill, as no man or woman is good citizen who cares so little for his or her country as to pass up it's educational advantages.

A letter received today by pro minent republican of the Third divi- sion declares that while he believes the will of the voters should be ob- served, that there are exceptions. He does not deny the right of Mir. Frame to change his politics, but be- lieevs that a man should start at the bottom and be proven before being given an office so important as that of Territorial committeeman. He al- so believes that Mr. Frames cleo tion was shady in that many demo- crats are known to have called for a Republican ballot in his district. He claims these voted for Frame to start something.

AN EDITORIAL ALIBI

One advantage that we enjoy as a newspaperman is that a charming girl, an accomplished neighbor wom- an or girl friend, can stop us on the street and hand us a sheet of scent ed note paper with writing on both sides, and anybody who happens to be bystanding at the moment will think it is an item for the paper. We might add that that's what it is.-- Tarpor Springs (Fla.) Leader.

An Old Master and Other Political Essays" and Mere literature and Other Essays" were among his earlier writings. His State papers notes to belliegerent governments and addresses to Congress would fill many volumes.
 The honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was bestowed upon him by Wake Forest College (188D; Tulane University Q898); John Hopkins in Q902); Brown University, (19O3); Harvard University Q9OD; Williams College, 190S); and Dartmouth Col lege 1909). Yale made him Doctor of Literat ture in 1901.
 In an intimate pen picture of the President drawn by himself before the National Press Club in Washington, Mir. Wilson once said: When I think of the number of men yho are look ing to me as the representative of a party, with the hope for all varieties of salvage from the things they are struggling with in the midst of it, it makes me tremble It makes me trem ble with sense of my own inadeQua- cy and weakness and if seem circum- spect it is because 1 am so diligently trying not to make any colossal blum ders."
 A curious fact of MT. Wilson's ca reer was that when a young man he wrote an article under the name ot Thomas w. Wilson" in which he de preciated the tendency toward auto cracy in American Presidents This was in 1879. Thirtyeight years later, on the floor of the United States Sen ate, Lawrence Y sherman, Republi- can Senator from Illinois, sayagely as- sailed MT Wilson as an "autocrat' and offered a resolution declaring his OII1C6 NdCdul. l A1C lS0O1uCAOAA " oo IAAli ed.

Surrounded by his wife ant three daughters-Ma Jessie anG EleanOr-the fierce controversy which
 ragged over the preservation ot demo cratic ideals at the University dlSturL ed him but little.
 Heretofore he had not been regard ed as a politician, Indeed, it had com

HAGEN AGAIN HELD
 SHAMELESS IN SHOOTING

FAIRBANKS, Feb. 4.-James Ha- gan, deputy marshal at Nenana, was exonerated for the second time of all blame in the fatal shooting of John Bernard, by a grand jury today.
 Hagan during raid for moonshine on a cabin near Mckinley Park sta ton on the night of September 13, shot and killed Barnard in the belief that Bernard was about to seize gun to use on the officer.
 At the time of the shooting a coro- ner's jury exonerated Hagan of all blame, but friends of Bernard de- manded further investigation of the case. Bernard was a former Valdez an, an old timer, and was civil en- gineer, working on the old Alaska Northern railroad under the Ballaines.

son to the Presidency by the National Democratic Convention in June 1912 at Baltimore, after a long deadlock was one of the most dramatic epi- sodes in American political history. No less interesting was his election to the chief magistrate of the nation the following November when he re- ceived 435 votes in the Electorial Col lege to 38 for Colonel Roosevelt and for Mr. Taft, who was renominated by the republican party to succeed himself.
 During President Wilson's two terms of office there was world upheaval such as had never before witnessed since the dawn of time Empires crumbled and thrones collapsed The map of Europe was torn to shreds. China that aeons old monarchy, had already become a Republic and with the ending of the world war Russian autocracy had been humbled in the dust German militarism crushed, Austria aHungary disembered and Tur- key driven out of the Holy Land.
 Born in Staunton, Virginia, Decem-- Der 28th, 1856 of Scotch-Irish parent age, and christened Thomas Woodrow Wilson the future President was kpoun oo srTopopo1," until bo oyo d,,a+ ed from Princeton in 1879 and was thereafter known only as Woodrow Wilson. His father, the Rev. Joseph Ruggles Wilson, prominent Presby- terian minister, moved to Augusta, Georgia, when Woodrow was two years old. Later the family went to Columbia South Carolina and there young Wilson, at the age of r. enter ca Davidson College, leaving soon to go to Princeton. Upon graduating he studied law in the University of Virginia and in 1882 began the prac- tlce of law in Atlanta, Georgia.
 While in Atlanta and at Augusta, he became engaged to marry Miss Ellen Louise Affisen, daughter of Presby- ter1an clergyman of Savannah Ga. The young lawyers clients were few and he soon abandoned legal career. For two years thereafter, he was a student at John Hopkins University and while there published his first book, Congressional Government" a study of American politics. It won recognition both in the United States and abroad and is believed to have been influential in evoking offers of professorships from Bryn Mawr and Wesleyan University. He married Miss Axsen on June 27th, 1885.
 He became successively, professor of history and political economy at Bryn Mawr and at Wesleyan Univer- sity and later professor of jurisprud- ence and political economy at Prince ton where, subsequently, he was made head of that institution. Meanwhile, Professor Wilson had gained high re- putation as a writer. Some of his works, with the date of their produc- tion, were as follows: "The State-Ele- ments of Historical and Practical Pol itics," (1S89); Division of Reunion" (1893); George Washington (1896) "A history of the American People" (1902); Constitutional Government in the United States" (1s08); Free
