Weekly BOOK ReUeD-7
This Time White Measures Woodrow Wilson

throw a lot of light on why Wood
row Wilson did do certain things
when President and failed to do
something else.
This book is one of the best sell
ers, not only because 1t concerns one
of the most commanding PERSONAL
ties of the present generation but
because William Allen White has
been honest in taking measurement
of Woodrow Wilson.
White throws a lot OF light on
the graduate school fight with Dean
West when Wilson was president of
Princeton. 1t Is important to know
this because you are brought face
to face with certain elements or
characteristics that were evident
when Wilson dealt with the prob
lens of war.
And another thing-at one time
there was a lot of unhealthy stories
going around regarding Woodrow
Wilson and a certain woman. White
goes to the very bottom of the con-
troversy and gives proof that these
stories were vicious and unwarrant-
ed fabrications. Am speaking of the
Mrs. Peck matter. Ask you to read
carefully page 267 of this book
Wilson in Europe
In discussing Wilson's failure to
win peace. White writes: Woodrow
Wilson lost the peace. because 1t
could not have been won: not the
peace he visioned. Humanity was
not ready for 1t. . The common
people Of the world were ready
highly to aspire with Wilson. But
they were not wise to choose leaders
of his kind. His peace implied
more good will in the heart of the
white race than 1000 years Of
Christian philosophy had been able
to put there.
White prints marvelously
human and great picture Of Wilson
when he realized that the people Of
the United States had rebuked him
by putting in a Republican admin.
istradon.
And White adds: = = He had to
live to see everything that he held
high and holy reviled by the govern
ing majority of his country. 1t was
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-05-06

became a world figure, hated and
loved at the same time.
Through the eyes Of cold fact.
White gives the world chance TO
understand and study Wilson as
man who really had two natures.
White in his introduction outlines
his task in Woodrow Wilson, The
Man. His Times and His Task,
published by Houghton Mifflin Com
pany, as follows:
This book will try to tell the
story. as simply as may be told, Of
a man, his time, and his task His
partisans have idealized his virtues
and so have sought to create a super
man-some sort Of Heaven-sent Mes
siah to redeem a wicked world from
iniquity. His enemies-alas, they
have seen his weakness through the
green and red glasses of envy and
hate and a fine old striped devil they
have made of him. He was neither
god nor fiend but in his political
career a shy, middle-aged gentleman
with the hoar-frost Of the cloister
upon his public manner, with an
academic respect for facts and with
a Calvinistic addiction for digesting
the facts into his own God-given
truth. On the surface he was half
or two-thirds Irish and so turned
to his friends a gay and lovely face.
But the dour Scot. big and dominant
inside him. turned to his adversaries
cold and implacable heart that
transformed even the most amiable
Of his opponents into ardent foes
with a lust for torture"
Another item Of interest is that
White knew Woodrow Wilson, but
slightly He says: II met him cas-
ually several times: once while he
was Governor OF New Jersey, two or
three times while he was President,
once or twice in the White House,
and I saw him once in Paris"
And, so White does not write of
Woodrow Wilson as a friend but as
writer who tries to explain certain
facts and throw light on certain
questions.
Certain Facts
Whine gives the reader certain
tools by which to arrive at an ac-
curlte measurement of Woodrow
Wilson. You first see Wilson as a
boy, accepting. the inheritance of
his people. The first few chapters

We Can Expect Nothing

Tl HE primary is over. 1t interested few
IL hundred politicians, who play the game,
and several thousand voters went more or less
half-heartedly to the polls and cast their bal
lots. The public generally was amused at the
numerous bonehead plays on the part of the
politicians. Two or three weeks from now
the average citizen will have to think awhile
before he can recall who the nominees are.
And the average citizen can not be blamed
for his attitude, for it will make little difference
who is elected next fall 1t will simply be
choice between two political groups, either one
of which will conduct the affairs of the city to
the best advantage of itself. The public is not
fooled. Neither is it so apathetc as it seems
The citizens of a city like Indianapolis when
they strike sometimes strike rapidly.
nm the face of returns, John L. Duvall has
III been nominated by the Republicans and
Walter Myers by the Democrats
Duvall has the backing of the George "
Coffin Republican machine. Coffin is an old
time politician schooed in the ways of profess
sional party workers. If Duvall is elected and
can keep Coffin from becoming the Bill Armi-
tage of his administration, he will have done
better than his predecessors. Duvall has
noting particularly to recommend him. He is
the beneficiary Of peculiar set of circun-
stances. He rode into the nomination on the
crest Of popular sentiment, based not on quail
fcations nor on issues but on religious and
racial division.
But Ralph Lemcke, his nearest opponent,
a candidate, would have been'no better He
was on the other side of the fence in the popu
lar division. He had the backing of crowd of
machine politicians that are no worse and no
better than the politicians who are on the
Duvall bandwagon.

make little difference in the future of Indian
apols. .

MULTIPLYING
TRAFFIC RULES

~1HE Indianapolis city coun-
Gil Monday night passed an
G1 ordinance prohibiting more
than three persons from occupy
ing the front seat of an automo-
bile. The measure Is intended TO
promote traffic safety.
No doubt overcrowding the
front seat may cause accidents by
cramping the driver in an emer-
gency and distracting his atten-
ton from the business in hand.
Perhaps the practice should be
officially condemned
But an ordinance aimed at that
particular menace simply adds an
other frill to the already complex
fabric of traffic regulation without
corresponding increase in traffic
safety.
1t isn't the number of people in
an automobile that is dangerous
it is the manner in which the ma
chine is operated. An automobile
with a single occupant whose
mind is elsewhere may be more
hazardous than another car that is
packed like Sardine can.
OF course regulations may be
multiplied Indefinitely until they
are so numerous that neither mo-
florists nor traffic officers can re-
member them. Traffic accidents
will still happen.
Merely multiplying the rules
won't prevent them. Strict. reg
ular. impartial enforcement of a
few important existing laws will
accomplish more for safety than a
regiment of minor regulations
each enforced fitfully following a
fatal smash and then allowed to
slumber.
