him.
All his life Woodrow Wilson was
home body, giving himself with
out reserve to those in the loved
circle. The Wilson's never per
mitted the claims of society to deny
the supremacy of the home life. AS
writer, Mr.. Wilson was well
known and widely read His first
publication was congressional
Government prepared as his thesis
upon graduation at Princeton. The
hrilliancy of this work raised it at
once to the rank Of a political class
ic. Later followed "The State"
''Division and Reunion, and the
"Life of George Washington"
masterpiece of biography. His best
known and most widely read work
is "A History of the American Peo-
pie" All of these works are es-
sentially studies in leadership, and
throughout them all runs quiet
consciousness of his own power. 1t
was not a far cry from being presi-
dent of Princeton, to becoming gov
ernor of New Jersey, and this pro-
motion was accorded Woodrow Will
son when he was elected governor
of New Jersey in 1910. Here he as
serted party leadership, and by su-
perior generalship secured good leg
islation long desired, but which
bosses had thwarted. 1t was dur
ing his matchless campaign for gov
ernor, that his versatile style of
speech captured the fancy of the
public. He abounded in humor and
good fellowship and was the author
of many limericks.

Ohio motorists planning to drive
to the Worlds fair in Chicago this
summer are urged by 0. w. Mer-
rell, state highway director, to keep
safety paramount in their minds at
all times.
Congestion on the highways will
be great, particularly as you near
Chicago. and therefore careful driv-
ing will be necessary Merrell
advised.
For the benefit of Buckeye mo-
torists he outlined few safe driv-
ing hints as follows:
In Chicago, drive on the inner
lane of traffic if you want to make
left turn. Right turns should be
made from the extreme right lane.
Watch your speed. The greater
the congestion, the greater the dam
ger from speed.
| Keep your brakes in good repair
and check your headlights.
Be on the alert at railroad grade
crossings.
Watch out for skids on wet or
slippery pavements.
Let your passengers do the sight
seeing while you are at the wheel.

essayist. Later at Princeton, ~ j.,
he was soon accepted as an out
standing youth Of superior mental
equipment, chiefly concerned with
big questions. The study of gov
ernment became his absorbing
theme. After his graduation at
Princeton, he entered the University
of Virginia, to study law, Having
passed the bar, May, 1882, found
him located at Atlanta for the prac-
tice of law. But at this he proved a
misfit and in 1883 he entered Johns
Hopkins University for two years
course in history and political econ
omy.
1t was at this time that he met
Miss Ellen Louise Axson while Wis
iting a cousin at Rome, Georgia.
The young couple soon became en-
gagged, and it was an ideal union,
for both had been reared in like en-
vironment of culture and religious
atmosphere, Miss Axson also being
the daughter and granddaughter OF
Presbyterian ministers.
But it was not until he had finish
ed at Johns Hopkins, that Woodrow
Wilson and Ellen Axson were mar
ried, the ceremony taking place at
the home of the brides grandfather
in Savannah, on June "a, 1885.
Wilson had accepted a professorship
at Bryon Manor, and the young
couple began housekeeping near
Philadelphia. 1t was during these
years that the two oldest children,
Margaret and Jessie. were born.
In 1883 call to the chair of his
tory and political economy, in the
Wesleyan University, was accepted
and brought Woodrow Wilson two
happy years of residence at Middle
town, Conn, charming setting for
the university. Established as a
Methodist institution, Wesleyan at
tracted serious minded teachers and
students from other creeds. Whole
some and plain living, high thinking
and noble ambition for service were
the rule. In 1890 Mr.. Wilson was
chosen to fill the chair of juris-
prudence in Princeton. And from
that time on until he became gov
ernor of New Jersey, he was pro-
fessor and president of Princeton
Their home here was of their own
making, and the architecture and
furnishings attested Mrs. Wilson's
taste. 1t was place of study, OF
companionship, of the finest flowers
of hospitality. And to that home
came men of letters and distinction.

election Baltimore's choice was rat
flied.
The fourth day Of March, 1913
Woodrow Wilson looked upon not
! as day of triumph, but it was tc
him a day of dedication. He be-
came known as breaker of prec-
edents, and the first was when he
appeared in person and delivered
his message to congress, instead OF
sending it to be read. Through
tariff reform, his first step as presi-
dent, he abolished every semblance
of privilege, drove out tariff lobbies
and substantially improved the per-
tinent sections of the tariff, ac-
cording to the judgment of special
lists on this intricate subject. The
currency system, without which pro-
vision it would have been impossi-
BILE to finance the war; his diplO-
matte handling of the Mexican trou-
BILE by policy that was both hu-
man and Christian; his dealings
with our island territories assured
those peoples that the United States
government had no purpose of ag-
gression, but meant only to estab-
lish a temporary protectorate.
And in the midst OF all these
crowding, imperative duties he was
bereft of the wife whose affection
had blessed and steadied him Af-
ter long period of declining
health, Mrs. Wilson died in the
White House Aug. s, 1914. She il
lustrated the best of southern wom-
anhood happy and beautiful alike,
as a girl in the home OF the Chris
tian minister, wife and mother in
ings, and as first lady in the White
House Welfare workers appre-
ciated her leadership in removing
the squalor of the tenements and
crowded alleys of the city of Wash
ington. Tenderly her husband and
daughters carried her body back to
her beloved southland, and among
the sweet scented, creamy mag
nolias she sleeps beside her par
ents at Rome, Georgia.
On the horizon war clouds were
rising, but our neutrality was un-
questioned. President Wilson an

throughout the land, Wilson issued
this appeal for neutrality: every
man who loves America will act and

speak in the true spirit of neutral
ity, which is the spirit OF impartial
| ity and fairness and friendliness to
all concerned"
/ Even after the violation of many
sacred principles of justice and hui
manity, in which many American
lives and much property were sacri-
feed, Wilson through notes of pro-
test to the imperial German gov
ernment appealed for peaceful ad-
justment. 1t was at this critical
stage of affairs that this first pres
idential term came to close. But
the November, 1916, election gave
| him the largest vote, 9,116,296, ev-
er given to president, up to that
election.
The time came when neutrality
was no longer feasible or desirable.
The peace of the world was involv-
ed There was deliberate and in
discriminate destruction of mer-
! chant vessels of all sorts and ma
tionalities. Repeated remonstrance
availed nothing. And gradually the
time came when our nation was
drawn into the vortex Of the world
war. And throughout it all how
fine was the spirit of the nation.
Such unity of purpose, such untir-
ing zeal, such splendid display of
strength. And oh, what untiring
accomplishment.
The war over, Woodrow Wilson's
one thought from first to last was
to secure League of Nations. 4"
His fourteen points" set forth in
his message to congress Jan. s.,
1918, was like ray Of light in a
world of gloom. Despairing peo-
pies of the world were heartened by
his program of peace, and his pleas
for world fellowship.
After the signing of the armis-
tice, Nov. IL, 1918, he promptly
sailed for Paris, never faltering in
his faith that mankind could be
lifted from sodden war into honor
able peace. He always separated
the people of Germany from the

as an effort to show the rank and
file that America had no hate and
no desire to crush the German peo-
pie.
In Europe he met with an un-
paralleled welcome everywhere. He
and the second Mrs Wilson to
whom he was married Dec. Is,
1915, were extended every courtesy !;
functions, dinners, luncheons, and
honors, followed in quick success
sion. For five months battle
royal was waged, terminating with
a victory for Wilson on the main
points. And on June 2S, 1919, the
treaty of Versailles was signed.
Returning then to the United States,
he was met by hostile senate, and
final rejection of his cherished
hope, a League of Nations, the
first concrete international plan of
permanent peace. Undismayed he
carried his cause to the people, and
it was while on this crusade, be

INTERESTING SKETCH OF
LIFE OF WOODROW WILSON

The following excellent article
was prepared by Mrs. John b. God
dard of Chesterhill, and read before
the Women's Democratic club meet
ing here.--Editor.
Woodrow Wilson, 2Sth president
of the United States, was born Dec.
2S, 1856, at Staunton, Va, the COM
monwealth long called "the Mother
of Presidents His parents, both
Ohio born, were of Scotch-Irish
descent, with numbers of men OF
scholarship and standing in> the
ministry of the Presbyterian church.
He was christened Thomas Wood
row Wilson, and called Tommy un-
til his graduation at Princeton. He
then dropped the Thomas and kept
only the maiden surname of his
mother, being known ever after as
Woodrow Wilson. His father who
was a Presbyterian minister became
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church Of Augusta, Georgia, when
Woodrow was less than two years
old. Thus his formative years were
spent in the south during and fol
lowing the war of the sixties Put
his mature years were lived in the
middle states. therefore he was free
from sectional bias.
Reared in an atmosphere of cul-
ture and refinement, his education
supervised and guided by his
scholarly father, known always for
his clear thinking and precision of
speech, early brought into contact
through literature with great minds
of all ages, created an innate urge
for justice for all regardless of race,
creed or social status. With his
wonderful background and his
natural environment it would seem
that Providence was molding and
shaping man of destiny. And
down through the years various
schools, instructors and personal
contacts seem to have been con-
tributing to the rounding out of
character and understanding, of
leader of nations.
While in school at Columbia, S.
c., he imbibed comprehensive
knowledge of ships and sea lore.
He knew every ship and the loca-
tion of every spar, sheet and shroud.
That knowledge broadened, often
surprised naval officers when he
cruised with them as commander in
chief of the navy. At Davidson
college, North Carolina, he stood
we'll in his classes, developed
debating talent and won honors as
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1933-06-15
