WOODItOW WILSON lins been
schooling himself, perhaps
unconsciously, but nevcrtho
loss carefully imd studiously,
for forty years for the exalted olllco ho !
will assume on March -1 next.
There has never been n closer stu
dent of American political affairs since
Ilanillton and Mndlsou. There Is noth
ing nliout congress or the White Uouso
that will take hlui greatly by surprise.
At the nge of twenty-nlno be had writ
ten a college thesis that showed him to
be even at thnt time one of the keen
est nnalylsts of our national legisla
ture we ever had. And In later years
ho turned his sharp scrutiny upon the
White House and wrote the most In
forming and Illuminating treatises on
the powers and limitations of the pres
ident that have ever been published.
Aside from these special investiga
tions his whole life has been a long
and exhaustive study of the American
people in their social and political re
lations, lis Indeed were those of his
forebears before him.
Grandfather Born In Ireland.
Ills grandfather, James Wilson, was
born In Ireland. He emigrated to
America about a century ago and set
tled In Philadelphia, which city was
the capital of the United States at that
time, One of the leading Philadelphia
papers of thnt period was the Aurora,
Thomas Jefferson's personal organ.

Was Studiously
He Assumes on
racnt and lie n lender In the affairs of
his country.
No man ever subjected himself to
sterner discipline or worked more
steadfastly toward a fixed goal. He
Ilrst taught himself to write short
hand lu order that he might make rap
id digests of what ho rend nnd heard.
He also practiced composition assid
uously and extemporaneous speaking
that he might be skilled and ready In
offhand debate
In those days he was not rcmnrka
bly ready In extempore speaking. To
day he Is without n peer In tho nation
In the art.
During the first year at Princeton
Wilson Joined Whig Hall, the literary
debating soi lety founded by James M.
Adison, who also wrote Its constitution.
Its rival society at Princeton was
Clit? ll.i! :".id the annual Lynde de
bate, an e ;u';iipiirrneoiis discussion,
the iiih!e't to he ;ven to the debaters
a few minis es U.'o.v the debate was
to begin, w is the bl",'et thing In n
literary wiv at the college. Young
WINon cn sunn cshiblrshcd himself
us th- leading spirit of the Whig Hall
society iiiiil wim easily Us best debat
er. To win this annual debate, in
which three representatives from each
of the two hulls participated, was the
thing tint Wilson most coveted. Kacli
hall selected Its debaters by a prelimi
nary contest within Its own society,
also an extemporaneous affair.
Took Sides by Lot.
On the evening of the preliminary
contest the subject was "Protection
Versus Free Trade." The debater
took sides by lot. Wilson drew "pro
tection" side from the hat, tore up the
slip and returned to his seat. He said
nothing under heaven could Induce
him to advance arguments for a thing
In which he didn't believe. Tho Lynde
prize, therefore, went to some one else.
Wilson did not shine with any grent
effulgence In his regular college course.
He stood forty-first In a class of 122.
This was the famous class of '70, one
of its members being Mahlon C. Pitney
of tho supremo court bench.
About this time his natural aptitude
for leadership began to crop out. and
before his first year was over he was
universally recognized at Princeton ns
tho leading freshmnn and one of the
master spirits of the entire student
body. He Inter became managing edi
tor of the Prliicetonlun.
While at Princeton ho wrote n search
ing article on congress which at once
stamped him as a youth of extraordi
nary caliber. This nrtlcle was pub
lished In the International Itevlew, nnd
In It the young Prliicetonlau pointed
out that most of the legislative busi
ness of the nation was carried on by
small committees behind closed doors.
This was the first time the matter had
ever been brought home to the people
of the country, and It started them to
thinking.
Advocated Open Work.
Wilson made the point that the na
tion's business ought to be done in the
open, ought to be thrashed out In pub
lic discussion. Even at that early day
he lifted up his voice against secrecy.
He declared that was tho atmosphere
In which evil and corruption flourished
nnd that the only remedy was pub
licity. After leaving Princeton Woodrow
Wilson went to tho University of Vir
ginia, that great Institution of liberal
learning founded by Thomns Jefferson.
He spent a year there Btudylng in the
law department.
At the University of Virginia Wilson
was nlso a leader. He took a more
active Interest In sports; Joined the
glee club; he organized a debating so
ciety and easily won both the writer's
and the orator's prizes, nere' also he
acquired tho reputation of being n great
Joker. He composed nonsense rimes
and limericks with wonderful facility.
In this love for wholesome nonsense
and his keen, dry humor Mr. Wilson is
very much like Lincoln. He further
resemblca the great liberator in his
perfect simplicity and his democracy.
Young Wilson had taken up the study
of the law, recognizing it ns the most
direct avenue loading to a public life.
As soon as he had completed his stud
ies nt Charlottesville he went to At
lanta to launch his legal career. He
joined partnership with a young man
who also had Just comploted his col
lege work. Henlck was hla name, and
the shingle of Itenlck & Wilson was
swung out.
Many Young Lawyers.
liut tho young men wero strangers
In Atlanta. Moreover, there were
many lawyers there, nnd, moreover
again, nonrly every one had a relative
practicing law. And so ho found time
to elaborate the article ho had written
while at Princeton into a book. Hut
ho was unable to find in Atlanta tho
facilities ho needed to complete tho
volume, so In tho autumn of 1SS3 he
entered Johns Hopkins university nnd
look up a course in history ami po
litical economy.
In making his Investigations Wilson
desired nothing but tho facts. Ills re
searches wero prodigious, and Ambas
sador James ISryce found him of great
usslstaiue while he was compiling his
"American Commonwealth." The re
sult of Wilson's two years' work at
Itultlmnre wiib his book, "Congression
al Government A Study of the Gov
irnment by Committee."
It was the first account ever elvuu
Schooled For
arch Fourth
of tho way Americans actually do gov
ern themselves.
The book met with Instant success.
It was nt once lerognlzed ns a llnnl,
standard woik, nnd Is so recognized to
day.
After receiving his degree nt Johns
Hopkins Dr. Wilson was culled to n
professorship In the new college fot
women at llryn Jlnwr.
Weds Ellen Axson,
However, he took advantage of his
vncatlon that summer to Journey to
Savanihih, Ga., and marry Miss Ellen
Louise Axson, the daughter of u louc
line of Georgln clergymen. The next
three years Dr. Wilson remnliied nt
Hryn Mawr teaching history and po
litlrnl economy. Hut he spent the two
years following at Wesleyan univer
sity ut Mlddletown, Conn., teaching the
snine subjects.
During his stay at Wesleyan Dr.
Wilson published another book, "The
Stnte," In which again was revealed
that amazing grasp on governmental
affairs and the history of all govern
ments from the very lieginnlng.
The trustees of Princeton, finding
the chair of Jurisprudence and politics
vacant in the autumn of 1SJK), at once
turned to the now distinguished alum
nus of Old Nassau nnd offered him the
chair. He nccepted with pride nnd Joy.
For the next twelve years, 181)0 to
1002, Dr. Wilson lectured to his class
es, at Princeton, worked on his history,
"A History of the American People,"
and ndded dally to his reputation at
home and abroad. Princeton had nev
er before seen anything like his classes.
His lectures were so popular that near
ly every student wanted to take his
course. It was a daily occurrence for
the members of his class to rise to
their feet nt the conclusion of his lec
ture nnd cheer him to the echo until
he passed out of hearing.
Elected at Princeton.
In 1002 Dr. Wilson wns elected pres
ident of Princeton. A change was
needed in the administrative affairs of
the university, and the trustees recog
nized Dr. Wilson ns the man to effect
them. Hut he had hardly assumed his
new office before he found himself
confronted with n trying situation.
Princeton has been called a country
club for rich men's sous. However
much or little it deserves this appella
tion, the fact remains that It possesses
more exclusive clubs than any other
grent institution In the country. There
Is n whole street of them, and yet their
total membership is confined to 350.
These clubs nre composed exclusively
of the two upper classmen.
This caddish arlstocrncy, abhorrent
to tho American spirit and equally ab
horrent to President Wilson, had flour
ished nt Princeton for years until that
institution was little more than a loung
ing place for the gilded sons of the
rich. Dr. Wilson went lu to change
the whole thing. He proposed the es
tablishing of the students in quadran
gles and "quads," each one to bo com
posed of a certain number of students
from each class, together with precep
tors. In other words, he tried to Inject
democratic spirit into the university
life.
Immediately ho was denounced as n
"levoler," n "Socialist," a man who
wanted to "make a gentlemnn chum
with a mucker." At first tho trustees
had approved the "quad" plan by vote,
but when this storm of protest and
abuse broke they were frightened Into
withdrawing their approval.
Then there was the long fight over
the graduate college, in which instance
a donor wanted to dictate to the trus
tees how his money was to bo used.
Dr. Wilson caused the trustees to re
fuse the donation, and then another
storm broke over his head for daring
to refuse money for Old Nassau.
Efforts Went For Naught,
But his efforts went for naught. An
old graduate of Princeton died and
left the college $3,000,000 for a grad
uate college to bo built away from the
main buildings, Just as the other donor
had wished, nnd because tho man wns
dead his wishes had to bo obeyed, and
President Wilson was defeated.
But liLs splendid stand for democracy
and work at Princeton wns not over
looked by the peoplo of Now Jersey,
and so they called him away from the
Irksome affairs at the university to be
their governor and thus launched him
upon a political career which for bril
liance and rupldlty of lino achieve
ment Is unparalleled In this country.
Mr. Wilson was elected governor of
New Jersey by a plurality of about
50,000. The platform on which he ran
contained much that is culled radical,
and up to this time the governor hnd
been regarded as conservative. But
he stood square on the platform and
dedicated all his energies and abilities
to the carrylug out of every pledge
contained In that platform.
The president elect has three daugh
ters Miss Eleanor Unndolph Wilson,
Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson and Miss
Margaret Woodrow Wilson. ,
These young women, Uko their fa
ther, are simple in their manners and
tastes. They nro skillful tennis play ,

They have no grout fondness for for
mal society nor for the limelight. They

POSSIBLE TO DOUBLE
COUNTRY'S WHEAT CROP.
Experiments With the Original 'Wild
Plant For Dry Sollo.
Doubling of the wheat crop of tho
United Htntes has lieen made possible
by the scientific discoveries (if Pro
fessor Aaron Anronsohn of Jerusalem,
according to mi announcement made
nt the University of Chlcngo. Pro
fessor Anrour.ohu Is director of lh
agricultural experiment stntlon In Pal
estine, an Institution financed by Ju
lius Itoscuwnld and Judge Julius Muck
of Chicago. He found tho original
wheat plant growing In Palestine after
years of search and Is engaged In
crossing the plant with better grades
of wheat In order to produce n supe
rior one.
The experiments, Professor Anron
sohn asserted, show thnt n race of
wheat can be produced adapted to the
semlnrld regions of Algeria, Tunis,
Syria, Egypt, Turkestan nnd other
eastern countries and to similar land
in the United Stntcs. Plants grown
by the experiments thrive in rocky,
shallow and dry soli without cultiva
tion. On n previous visit to Chicago
Professor Anroncohn told of his work
nnd funds were advanced for the stn
tlon In Palestine.
"This Is really the biggest pvoosl
tlon regarding tho food supply of the
world now before us," snld Professor
John Merle Coulter, head of the de
partment of botnny at the university,
who talked with Professor Anronsohn.
"The crossing of tho wild wheat with
other grades will Insure crops In
drought and In arid lands. It will be
the salvation of tho eastern coun
tries." COAST AWAKE TO CANAL
General Wood Finds Pacific Cities
Counting on Big Business.
Major General Leonurd Wood, chief
of staff of the army, returned to
Washington recently nfter a seven
weeks' tour of the nrmy posts of the
United States. He was accompanied
on tho trip, which Included almost
every stnte In the Union, by Captain
Frank E. McCoy, his aid.
General Wood snld that the most
surprising thing he encountered on his
trip was the tremendous expansion
and commercial activity on tho Pacific
coast. Every city on the west coast,
ho said, was fairly Jumping ahead In
Its preparations for the new conditions
to be brought nbout with the opening
of the Pnnnmn canal.
In talks thnt he made before busi

city ho visited General Wood explain

FIND MAINE'S LOST TURRET.
Located With Guns In Place In Ha
vana Harbor.
During the work of removing the cof
ferdam built around tho hulk of the
battleship Maine Captain Pope, In
charge of the work, found the forward
turret of tho ship right side up with
the guns in place. It was located forty
feet from tho place whero Major Fer
guson found the barbette overturned.
Tho strangest thing about the dis
covery' ot the missing turret Is that
Major Ferguson, in driving the first
plies for the cofferdam, found tho top
of the turret shorn of all rivets 12."
feet from the place It occupied on the
ship. When the water and mud were
removed and the ship's bottom wns re
vealed the barbette was found near tho
ship's side, twenty-five feet aft of Its
position on the vessel, nnd overturned.
This led to the natural belief thnt tin
turret with the guns was under the
bnrbette lu tho mud.
Tho turret must have been blown
forwnrd with the guns. Why It should
be thrown forward nnd sink without
overturning, while the barbette was
thrown nft nnd overturned, Is a prob
lem for a naval board to explain.
