BEE i W ilson’s Nature Neatly Analyzed by W. A. White 1 ■ ■" ■ Cloistral Manner, Academic Respect for Facts, Marked War President, Says Biographer. By SANFORD JARRELL. WOODROW -WILSON, by William Alin, White. (Houghton, Mifflin company. Boa ton and New York.) From the pen of William Allen White comes one of the most lucid biographies of contemporary states men, and probably the most readable. Those who Idealized Woodrow Wilson, and those who hated him, might well temper their fierce partisanship by a perusal of a volume which treats the man with a sense of fairness, of jus tice, of genuine appreciation of his faults and accomplishments. "He was neither Ood nor fiend,” writes the author in his introduction, an introduction, by the way, that is most commendably done, “but in his political career rather a shy, middle aged gentleman with the hoar frost of the cloister upon his public man ner, with an academic respect for facts and with a Calvanistlc 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 love ly face. But the dour Scot, big and dominant inside him, turned to his adversaries a cold and implacable heart that transformed even the most amiable of his opponents Into ardent foes with a lust for torture.” White takes the personality of \Vil ion and lays It bare upop an operat ing table of the author's own in genious making. He lances It here and there and yon, and we see back of the activities of the war president the dominating influence of his ancestors, the Woodrows and the Wilsons. His Uncle, the Rev. James Woodrow, was one of the first American ecclesiastics to ponder upon and expound the theory of evolution, and many of his traits were reflected in the nephew. Of the uncle, the author says: Principle Was “In the Blood.’* “The Rev. James Woodrow was a serious, mild-mannered man who rare ly Joked, never got excited, seldom lifted his soft, mellow voice, nor deigned to put his personality in the balance where a principle was at stake. Also he worked alone, with few friends and no advisers. He failed to win his cause because he respected it too highly to compromise into vic tory. That was the way of the Wood row blood.” Does not that bring vividly to mind the Wilson of 1919 and 1920, who would not stand for the dotting of an ”i" or the crossing of a ”t" in his precious league covenant? And what other president of the United States struck out alone so much, disregard ing the advice of associates, and cruelly breaking friendships over slender differences of opinion? Biologically, Wilson got from his nioUieVs family the capacity for “slo^r, continuous, dogged, undra matic, spiritual struggle. The Wood rows had the brains of scholars.” From the Wilson heritage came "(he gay, fighting blood of the Irish: con tentious. imaginative, often vain, hut never cold in pride; restlessly follow ing the call of eerie fairies to lovely end surprising things.” Was “Vice Regent of His God." White continues: "The modern world for the first time was to come under the dominion of a pure Celt, not as a lieutenant, not as a coun sellor, not as an upper servant of any king or commander, but for a year and seven months as the vice regent of his God. It was all hut a prophetic hotir when mankind for a moment saw rising John Calvin’s millenium.'' Probably no truer portrait of Wood row Wilson's youth ever was painted before. The son of a Presbyterian pastor, he lived In several southern cities. The father must have been a remarkable man—the great parent of a son whom history may proclaim a gr^At president. The environment of “Tommy" Wilson wns a literary one, and books, rather than boyish activi ties,, dominated the frail, spectacled youth. At Princeton, however, Ids sctilariy attainments won him the admiration and respect of the student body, and he also found time to man age the baseball nine. Sometime after his • graduation, he dropped the Tlmmaa, explaining to his friend, Robert Bridges: “I find I need a trademark in advertising my literary wares. Thomas W. Wilson lacks LEGAL. NOTICES.

So I have decided pub licly to be Woodrow Wilson." Struggle Began at Princeton. The years following his graduation were serene years, at Atlanta, at Bal timore, at Bryn Mawr, at Wesleyan college and at Princeton.*eNot until he became president of Princeton in 1902 did his troubles rer’ly begin. He had found a ready maT aet for his literary output, he was known far and wide as an orator, but as a college president his fight to democratize Princeton, while It made him a na tional figure, kept him in hot water constantly with the rich eastern alum ni and trustees. Wilson was elected governor of New Jersey in 1910, with the material aid of the democratic party bosses plus George Harvey, and in 1912 he found the time propituous to move in the direction of the White House. As every one knows, Champ Clark, backed by Tammany, was his chief foe at the Baltimore convention, and in picturesque language White de scribed the Missourian: "lie was personified politics. He had come to the convention over the beaten dirt roads' from the county court house, lie was a rural states man who observed punctiliously all the rules of the political game, lie talked in vernacular, dressed conven tionally, thought In one syllable, and was not ashamed to advertise his love for corn whisky a.nd the plain people. He jvas the idol of the temple Pharisees of both parlies, who mar veled at his* easy. Instinctive regu larity.’’ Wilson was nominated by tlie Balti more convention because he refused to heed the advice of friends who urged him to tie the can to Bryan. On the Sunday during the deadlock Wilson, at Seagirt, t read his modicum of poetry, had his spiritual frolic with his friends and family, and went about the orderly routine of his daily life. He was as gay ns an ordained ruling elder of the Second Presby terian church might lie on the holy Sabbath.” Peace Aid* Were Marionette*. The first administration of Preal j dent Wilson I* not gone into with any tiresome detail, nor is the cam paign of 191U, when lie defeated Hughes. The war, and its early aftermath at Versailles, is related by , a master craftsman. Wilson's .com-1 i mlssion’ers at the peace conference are I referrred to as what they actually were—marionettes. White takes his subject to task for Ids lack of fore thought in not including on the com mission at least one or two repub licans of the capacity of Hoot, Taft, Roosevelt or Hughes. But the Wood row blood corpuscles decreed “no com promise." And Wilson logt, and was repudiated by the people he had served according to his own lights. When Wilson reached Europe he found that “the old nationalism with Its greeds and envies still was latent in the blood of Europe. He then was faced with the realities of the war. Treaties, understandings, agree ments, obligations among the nations -—the wires which had pulled the poor scrapped puppets still were running across the world, moving events, peo ples, "Tares, as though the puppets had not been snipped off. Into this entanglement, the spectacled knight of democracy rode his white horse." Europe Looked for Santa ( Ians. The little nations. White observes, believed they had found in Woodrow Wilson a new Santa Claus. What developed at Versailles over the coun cil tables Is, of course, history. Wil son’s part in It, hts bitterness at defeat, his physical breakdown, bis attitude toward loyal friends and his last three years, following the elec tion of Harding, are told in a die passionate fashion. The Mrs. Peck story, which most biographers would have politely ignored. Is exploded as a myth, and apparently on the best authority. The writer pays tribute to the two Mrs. Wilsons, and to the devoted Wilson daughters. With facile pen h“ portrays Cie grand parents, parent y boyhood friends, university r **• Jersey Irish politic) .a.s, Colonels Hou e and Harvey, Tumulty, Lansing and the antiquated Hefiry White.

MORAL STICKS OUT LIKE SORE THUMB BUS JIM ALBKIOHT. by I.estle J’«rk»r IK Krasrr Company, Brooklyn, N. Y.) Big Jim is just too good to be true, and so Is the girl he marries. But that does not mean that the book is uninteresting. The contrary is true. Especially Interesting is that part relating the campaign Big Jim makes for public office. It is really, an interesting story, but one wishes that the author had been a little less free with the moral. I*, atlcka out like a aore thumb. It obtrudes. It is so awfully plain that the reader gets weary of trying to dodge it. However, be that aa it may, it would be well if there were more men who tried, at least a little, to be somewhere near as good as Big Jim. RADIO HOOKED WITH ROMANCE THU BOY WITH u. S.

Labor Attacks Tram Fare Hike Company Called on to Ex plain Expense Put Down as Salaries. 4 A bitter attack waa delivered against the Omaha A Council 3b.iff« Street Railway company last night by Thomas Ij. Wilson, vice president of the Nebraska State Federation of Labor at a meeting of the Central Labor union. This organization was the first la bor body to go on record In opposi tion to the proposal to Increase street car fares in Omaha. A letter, drafted hy Wilson, was tentatively adopted and a committee appointed to revise It and send It to all the newspapers. This communication will call upon the street railway company to ex plain its bonded Indebtedness, paving between the double tracks and whether the portion claimed as wage expense Includes the high officials and counsel of the corporation. The committee which will formally get up the letter consists of Wilson, John M. Gibb, O. M. Olsen and A. H. Bigelow. Wilson declared that any action such as promulgated by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce to raise fares would tend to perpetuate the charter of the company, which he ‘said real ly expired In 1917. He continued: “The street railway company has been known to employ gunmen for the express purpose of keeping wages down. At one time the company had 50 hired spotters who lurked about finding out what employes had con tact with union labor organizations. It Is unfair that the people of the city of Omaha should be required to keep these spotters on ths payroll.'-’ WHAT FAT MEN OUGHT TO EAT EAT AND GROW THIN, br Vance Thompson (E. P.

There are the recipes and the Instructlona. If you are fat everyone tells you what not to eat If you want to re duce. Now comes along an adviser who tells you what you can eat and accomplish the desired results. It doesn't cost much to try It, anyhow. McVittie Suffers Relapse. .7. T.

Six Times She Was Led to the Altar and Each Time Match Was a Mess Mattie Nettle Griggs ought to be a walking cyclopedia on husbands. She has had six of them. The only one who has passed on to his reward was hanged. The others are all living, two of ^hem behind the gray, bleak walls of prisons. Mrs. Griggs, who resides at 112* North Nineteenth street, married two men who turned out to be murderers. Her matrimonial ad ventures shouln prove spicy read ing if she turned author and wrote them up for one of the numerous "confession” ma^zincs. The reason Mrs. Griggs happens to be utilizing newspaper space to day is because of her divorce suit against Frank W. Griggs, who she alleges was extremely cruel to her. Griggs is the sixth person, male gender, with whom she has tod dled to the altar to murmur those fateful words so that two can live cheaper than one. She took the stand in domestic relations court Friday afternoon and told tales, on Griggs. “The Brute Tied Me Up. "Three tlipca,” said Mrs. Griggs, "the brute tied me hand and foot to the bedposts, cut my wrists with a razor and beat me all over until I was black and blue. Each time it took me three or four hours to get free.” She stood it uncomplainingly twice, but the third time she had her mate arrested and he spent the next 60 days In the county Jail to think it over. Husband No. * is not contesting the action. U. S. Consul in Grave Condition Omahan Knows Man Shot bv Lithuanian Girl in Foreign Land. Belgrade, Dec. 6.—The condition of Henry Dayton, American vice consul, remained unchanged today, according to physicians treating him for vltrol herns and three pistol wounds In flicted hy Anna Cuzoup, Lithuanian girl, whose love brought her on her tragic mission from Kobno. A bullet was removed from Day ton's lungs, but physicians hesitated to remove the other two. The consulate was under police guard today. An Inquest over the body of the girl who killed herself after the attempt on Dayton’s life was expected to throw light on the cause of the attack. . Many rumors are current concern ing the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The details of the af fair are not yet fully known but the inquest is expected to reveal them. One report is that the vice consul told the young woman that their friendship must cease. The woman drew a revolver and fired and then committed suicide by cutting the arteries In her forearms. , Thomas Gentleman of Omaha, brother of John A. Gentleman, re viewed the days of his friendship with Henry R. Dayton, American vice consul, who was seriously wounded by a woman at hts home. "It’s all wrong.” Gentleman said "Dayton was a mighty fine fellow. I lived with him for four years and 1 know his habits. "He was the kind of a fellow who never drank to excess and he was en gaged to a girl In Georgia whom he almply adored. He would no more think of going out with the fellows at night when there were to be women In the party than he would think of flying. "I don’t know what the trouble was, but I am sure that the woman wag representing someone else. Per haps she had a brother whom she believed Dayton had injured, but I am sure her grievance was not per sonal In the sense that Is Implied in the report received here.” Gentleman first met Dayton in Washington. The southerner had then Just come from his home at Atlanta, Ga., ns an applicant for a consular poaltlon. When Gentleman was ordered to re port to the embassy In Pari* he chose Dayton as the man to accompany him. The two lived together and traveled over Europe together for four year* after that. The men separated when Gentle rpan wag ordered to South America end Dayton to Scandinavia.

Husband No. 2 divorced her. Husband No. 3 was not a gentleman and a scholar, but a horse thief, and is doing 10 years In prison for practicing his profes sion without the necessary caution. The names of these three men need not be recorded here; indeed, they are ail but forgotten. One Faded Out of the Chromo. Came into her life one Kugene Weeks, who goes down on the wedidck roster as husband No. 4. Weeks came to an untimely finish at the end of a hangman's noose at Fort Madison penitentiary, Sep tember 13, 1922, and Mrs. Weeks was left a.widow for 17 uneventful days and nights. Husband No. 5 proved to be George McConkey. Mrs. Griggs did not say what had become of him, or what had come between them to blight a romance begun when the bright red autumn leaves were falling fast, and the crisp October air made out of the ordi narily laconic Mr. McConkey, a Hawkeye Ixtchlnvnr for fair. At any rate, Mr. McConkey faded out of the chromo, and Griggs made his appearance as husband No. 6, with his fate as the woman's lord and master now pending in the courts. The “net result of all of these marital misadventures was one child, the product of one of her early matches. French Police Fear “Red Riot” Violence Looms After Expul sion of Foreigners From Country.
