Today Wall Street Gave and T ooh. The Prophet Cheers Up. The Place for Big Dogs. Russia Is So Uncourtly. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. __J Today “Tom” Lawson, author of “Frenzied Finance,” and an active figure in much frenzied finance of his own, will be buried close to the magnificent estate that he once owned. Wall street took it away from him. When he tvns 16 he made $40, 000 in Wall street. In 20 years of Wall street life he made $40,000, 000, and Wall street took it back. The old croupier at Monte Carlo’s gambling house said to this writer long ago: “We don’t have to worry about profits. While they have money the strangers stay and gamble or spend it in our hotels. When they haven’t any more money they go. The money stays with us.” So it is with Wall street, if you gamble. The unfortunate prophet of doom Is feeling better, although the world didn’t end when he said it would. He has several excuses. Flash lights of photographers interfered with the divine powers. That seems strange when you consider the number of flashing lights exist ing in this universe. Also the moon’s eclipse on Wed nesday and the very heavy Long Island fog yesterday proved that the world very nearly ended. Best of all, fteidt, who sold his potatoes, his Ford car and little hut, thinking he wouldn’t need them any more, need shed no tears. The notoriety the newspapers have given him will enable him to buy a bigger house, a bigger car and fill his cellar with potatoes. There is nothing like advertising. It is reported and denied that Balto, magnificent Siberian wolf hound, leader in the dog team that carried the anti-toxin to Nome, is dead. Some of the dogs had their lungs frozen. All the blood in their bodies could enot sufficiently heat the air that entered the lungs. But the heroism of that particu lar dog is no excuse for the stupid ity that keeps wolfhounds, danger ous sometimes to their owners, and nearly always dangerous to others, in crowded cities. When a man’s wolfhound, police dog, or other huge animal, bites a child, the punishment should be the same as if the owner of the dog had been guilty of criminal assault. You notice that some of our big gest and most prosperous “best minds” have always been bitter to ward the government of Russia. They don’t want Russia recog nized by this nation. They want every little child in the cradle to be taught to shudder when the word “soviet” is spoken. Our “leading minds” are intelli gent. They know what is good for them and what isn’t. Yesterday’s news from Russia told of seven men who had been entenced to death merely for grafting, on an extensive scale, at the expense of the public, and treacherously selling out their gov ernment. A nation doing that sort of thing, of course, doesn’t please certain “pleading minds” in America. For instance, those that engineered the matter of the naval oil supplies. And it does not please those that would deprive the United States of adequate air defense, because some steel men and the oil men want the profits from big battleships. Fashion can do what other things can t do. For instance, the fashion in short skirts has made fashion able restaurants and night dancing resorts in London cut down the heights of tables and chairs. It is impossible for women with skirts up to their knees to sit gracefully, not to say modestly, at the regula tion high table. So the legs are cut off. (Copyright. 1928.)

Wilson Would Sacrifice Friend for Principle, Disliked Politics; Had Low Regard for Law Practice By CHARLES L. SWEEM. Confidential secretary and stenographer to Woodrow Wilson during his eight veers In the White House. Copyright, 1926, reproduction In any form prohibited. CHAPTER IV. The Ingratitude of which Mr. Wil son was accused was principally ac ademic. It was not a singular clrcumctance In one of his birth, his training, or his predilections. He inherited with his gcotch Wood all the traditional honesty of the Highland character. He was reared, almost in seclusion, under the sympathetic eye of a high minded and scholarly father; and his whole life as he chose It for him self was given to the glorification of the abstract truth. He possessed, further, the courage to make his decisions In the face of all opposition. When what he re garded as a principle was at stake and a friendship Intervened, he had no hesitation In sacrificing the friend ship. It should be remembered that he was equally as willing to sacrifice himself. When he returned from Paris, ex hausted from his extraordinary labors there, weakened by an attack of In fluenza, and was told by his physician that a cross-country trip in behalf of the league of nations might be fatal to him. he exclaimed characteristical ly. "Well, I’ll die with my boots ot\ fighting for what I believe in," and ordered his special train. I.ikened to McKinley. A man who has intimately known every president for the last quarter century said this of Mr. Wilson, after working with him for eight years: "He Is the most approachable man who has ever been in the White House since McKinley. Roosevelt, who is rated in puhlic estimation the most democratic president we have ever had, would take you by the hand and go into your most intimate af fails with you, but you had always the feeling that It wag a pose. Piesi dent vvilson Is more like McKinley With Mr. Wilson you could feel per fectly free to discuss a matter as you would with a personal friend—but there was always this feeling, that you had to wpaak the truth and do right” This is a photographic estimate. His open and unaffected personality Invit ed the most intimate and loyal friend ships, but he made no distinction be tween friend and enemy In the fur therance of duty. This was such a unique Idea to be introduced into politics that the tiait was one for which he was severely criticised. But it was .this stubborn honesty, intel lectual and otherwise, his absolute in tegrity, his contempt for the tem porary or expedient, which was the true source of Mr. Wilson’s great ness. On one occasion, when he learned that a clerk had carelessly paid for a two-cent stamp from the government treasury for one of the Wilson family, he rebuked the clerk and reimbursed the government with two pennies; on another, he just as freely called a colleague to task for overstating the achievements of the administration. Friends Outside Politics. Yet, despite the exaction* of hli • high sense of duty, he made and retained many friendships. The great er part of his personal correspondence was with companions and friends ol earlier days, before his extraordinary sense of responsibility exacted aucb heavy toll of his affections. No man ever had more loyal or enduring at tachmants than he, but It is algnifl cant that these were for the moat part not in politic*. His most cherished friendships were necessarily outside of political life, men with whom he had labored and differed, men of the same high prin ciple and feeling as himself. Many of these he did attempt to draw Into the whirlpool of service by the profer ment of high government honors, but with few exceptions they declined. The subsequent careers of the few that he persuaded strikingly empha size the nature of the attachment that bonnd them to him. Like him, they were students and philosophers, not politicians, who saw in public Hie the opportunity of service, of trans lating Into practice tha things they had thought out through years of study. They never attempted to realize upon his friendship for political or personal advantage. They were fa miliar with hia mental processes and knew beforehand what to expert. • Peojtle shouldn't have teelines in politics.'' lie said once when re preached for refusing an obligation of friendship. He had no patience or tolerance for the amenities of politics. He con sidered the Introduction of politics Into a public argument as a species of blackmail. In any hearing before him, the first note of politic* would In variably bring the fire to his eyes and rebuke to his tongue. Several times I have heard him rebuke dele gations for urging political considers tions, and once he angrily Interrupted a speaker who insisted upon making his argument a political one and called upon the delegation to choose another speaker before he would al low them to continue with their case. No l.iking for Law. He had no more patience for the general practice of law than he had for politics, lie once gave me as his opinion that law as usually practiced was a mere money making device and not the Instrument of Justice it should be. This opinion undoubtedly actu ated many an Important decision of his official life. He was always wary of the mental processes of the lawyer. He' turned Invariably to the pitjlu sophlcal student of law for counsel rsfher than to the practitioner. One of Mr. fanning » rrltlclsms of him at the peace conference Is that he would not permit lawyers to have any part In the drafting of the league of na tions. Several times I saw him refuse to appoint candidates to positions be cause they were lawyers and nothing else. '"We need a heart in our law as well as justice." he said. I recall that he once gave as the reason (or the rapid progress of the movement for woman suffrage that women feel further than men do; that the day of cold thinking and finespun constftu-^ tional argument is gone.
