Hardware, NEBRASKA 99 A TUMULTY TRIBUTE PAID TO PRESIDENT PRVIATE SECRETARY SAYS HE IS MISUNDERSTOOD MAN 10 YEARS HIS SECRETARY Washington, Oct. 28. An intimate picture "of the manner of man this Woodrow Wilson Is," based on ten years as his private secretary and touched here and there with hitherto unpublished incidents in the presi dent's official life, was drawn tonight by Joseph P. Tumulty, speaking at a democratic mass meeting just over the line in Maryland. Mr. Tumulty described the president as a "man as strangely misunderstood by some and as violently misrepresented by others as any man in the whole history of American politics." He had long de sired, he said, to tell the country what he knew of Mr. Wilson's charac ter, but had refrained in the know ledge that the president, "who shrinks from self-exploitation, would resent exploitation by his friends." With the approach of Mr. Wilson's retirement to private life, however. Secretary Tumulty continued: "It seems to me not improper that just before the curtain rises on the last act, I modestly step out from my ob scurity in the wings, and tell the audience a few things about the lead ing actor in this great drama of the past eight years." Recalling his ten years in the "in timate relationship of private secre tary," the speaker said: "I may be presumed to know at least as much about him as the gen tleman who discourse volubly of him in Pullman smokers, on the golf link and in the clubs, who assure you thai all they say is fact, for they had it on the word of a friend who passed through Washington once and heard a man say that another man said. etc." Among Incidents on which he drew to illustrate his subject, Mr. Tumulty recalled the reaction of the presi dent to the applause which greeted delivery of his war message to con gress on April 6, 1917. "On that fateful day." Secretary Tumulty said. "I rode with him bad From the capitol to the white house the echo of the applause still ringir.j in my ears. For a while he sat si lent and pale in the cabinet room At last he said: "Think what it wa they were applauding. It mean; death for our young men. Hov ftrange it seems to applaud that.' ' "That simple remark." Secretary Tumulty continued, "is one key t an understaanding of Woodrow Wil son," who, he said, hated and dread ed war with "all of the fibres of hi: human soul." As further evidence of the presi dent's sense of responsibility in th blood shed by American soldiers. Mr Tumulty told of the day when new: came of American casualties at Vers Crus in 1914. "When the nems came," he said "the president was quiet all day. He went about his business methodically with his usual clear judgment an' prompt decisions, but that night h sat silent for a long time. At last he said: 'I cannot get it off m heart. It had to be done; it wa right; nothing else was possible, bu' I cannot forget that it was I whr had to order those young men to ther deaths.' " Order Mayo to Vera Cruz. Earlier that year, when word camt that a "German vessel laden with mu nitions was on its way to Mexico President Wilson talked over the tele phone with Secretaries Bryan ant5 Daniels, and Mr. Tumulty said he wa' also on the telephone during the con versation. When the situation haf been stated to the president, he said. "the voice came back clear and firm: "Order Admiral Mayo to tak( Verka Cruz at once." "Just before I cut off the connec tion," Secretary Tumulty continued "I said a word to the president abou' the tragedy of it all. His voice re sponded, no longer clear, but muffled. as when one chokes back a sob: What do you think of it Tumulty It means death. It breaks mj heart, but it must be done." Secretary Tumulty recalled alsc Mr. Wilson's determination to ride in the funeral procession of the ma rines and sailors killed at Vera C'ru? when the bodies were brought back to New York.. Disquieting rumor that an attack was planned on ,his life had reached secret service men. Mr. Tumulty said, and "one under took to argue with him saying 'You wiill show all proper respect b appearing in the reviewing stand The country cannot afford to lose its president. His reply was: 'The countrj cannot afford to have a coward for a president.' This was his brief and final answer. He rode in the proces sion." The sternness of Woodrow Wilson, his secretary declared, was "just the reverse side of his humane nature.'' and made "nothing more natural' than that he should have become the champion of small nationsh. The president's insistence upon article ten of the league covenant was explained as a wish to forestall the necessity ot the United States going to war by making it a participant "in a plan to prevent the beginning of such war. "He wished to stop the next war before it should begin," Mr. Tumulty said. For War When Necessary. In contrast to Mr. Wilson's self proclaimed "passion for peace" Sec retary Tumulty declared that "when the challenge came from Germany to America, when the American mind was ready for war this same Woodrow Wilson became Uhe most uncompromising advocate of the most stringent measures for conduct ing the war, thereby to hasten the end of the war." The speaker re called the president's speech to offi cers of the Atlantic fleet in 1917, published long after, in which he said "I am willing to sacrifice half the navy Great Britain and we have to gether to crush the submarine nest." "It was he." Secretary Tumulty continued, "who insisted on mining the North sea to cut off the German hornets. Experts said that it could not be done. The civilian Wilson said it could be done, must be done, and it was. It was the civilian Wilson who broached the plan for combining the allied powers in the west under the supreme command of General Foeh, in order that all the allied forces could be concentrated on the utrnian lorces uj itusm mem. "In his mind the supreme object of this was to end war. The "grave fault," which Secre tary Tumulty asserted ne lounti with the president was his ignorance of how to play to the gallery." "He does not know how to capita lize his virtues for the tront pages or the newspapers," he said. "He is dreadfully poor publicity material. Human from his heart to his finger ips, he does not know how to put his humanity on exhibition. "As his friends and admirer, 1 have loved him better because he did not. There was something too fine in his nature for the dramatics and posturings of the political game is it is usually played. Not a Publicity Seeker, The secretary told of a journalist who wished to have the president "do one of the stunts that the public dearlv loves to read about." and of the comment of the president. "He said to me: "Tumulty, you am not built for must realize that l these things, I do not want to be dis played before the public. If I tried to do it I would do it badly. 1 want people to love me, but they never will.' "I have never forgotten the wistful tones in which he spoke those last four words: 'But they never will,' " Secretary Tumulty said. Two final pictures. Mr. Tumulty aid. he desired to draw, the first, 'hat of the president in 1917, "a traight. vigorous, slender man. ac ive and alert." "He is sixty years of age," he said, "but he looks not more than "orty-five, so lithe of limb, so alert of ', earing, so virile. It is Woodrow Wilson reading his great war mes sage. "The other picture is only three ind a half years later. There is a oarade of veterans of the great war. They are to be reviewed by the pro dent on the east terrace of the white 'louse. In a chair sits a man. your president, broken in health, but still ilert in mind; his hair is white. h:s houlders bowed, his figure bent. He Ts sixty-three years old. but he looks lder. It is Woodrow Wilson. "Presently in the prooession then appears an ambulance laden with wounded soldiers, the maimed and Mind. As tliey pa.ss, they salute, dowly, reverently. "The president's right hand goes ip in salute. I glance at him; there vere tears in his eyes. The wounded :s greeting the wounded; those in the unbulance, he in the chair, are alike asualties of the great war. "I don't believe in his heart Presi lent Wilson regrets his wounds. I "ancy he realizes no man could die :n a greater cause, but I do some inies wonder if it ever seems strange ko him, when a man has been ser- mi v wounueci in n:s cu i iu ri with vice, that he should be met neers and salur.inies from his coun rvmen." 1 nilKVII 1 F Courier Mr. and Mrs. Jack Schlater have noved from the house on Railroad ivenue, where they have resided r.-1-ently, into the A.

August Ossenkop shipped in a car of horses from the Parmele ranch near Oconto and put them up for sale at auction at .the Missouri Pacific stock yards last Saturday. Tliey were splendid young animals, in good or der and some of them well broken. The scarcity of ready cash and the fact that the fall of the year is a bad time to sell stock is attributed as the reason for the lack of inter est in bidding. After three or four head had been sold at a very low price, Mr. Ossenkop stopped the sale and disposed of the remainder at private sale.
