FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1914.
COL. WATTERSON ON WILSON.
Nobody expects a Scotch-Irish
Covenanter to broad-gauge, he him
self being of record to the posses
sion of a single-track mind. Nor did
we look for effusion in the tempera
mental pedagogue or the calculating
party leader. The qualities Mr. Wil
son claims would unfit him for the
work he has to do. It is stern, un
feeling work. His lack of a high,
warm sense of personal obligation;
his easy tvay of turning down a
friend; his superiority to sentiment—
are of the first order of value in the
meeting of the relentless duties of
the great office he has been called to
till; in resisting the onrush for ap
pointments by the political brigands
in and out of congress; in check
mating the schemes of the thieves
upon thej public -treasury and the
national domain; in perceiving and
thwarting the subtle approaches of
the sappers and miners of corruption
who are alw-ays organized and ever
alert.
The country would not have Mr.
Wilson a generous man surrounded by
friends who know precisely w-hat they
want. It prefers him heartless, un
grateful, even ungracious. “Paint me
as I am,” sail Oliver Cromwell, a man
quite as unlovely and unloving as
Woodrow Wilson; “leave out a wrin
kle or a scar and I’ll not pay you a
guinea.” i
It was destiny that placed \\ oodrow
Wilson where he is. In these mat
ters Providence has ever some all
wise purpose in reserve. God has in
deed from the first held our country
in llis holy keeping. The president’s
abilities are unmistakable. His in
trepidity seems not only sufficient but
abundant. No one questions his in
tegrity. What has he to do with a
heart? If he had one it would be
constantly getting in his way like an
illcut garment.
Heavens, no: now that we are used
to the idea that he is his own Jor
kins—that he has no wicked partner
—that he is onto his job—“no fa
vors asked or given"—the black flag
to graft and grafter—we like him
better so, and would not exchange
him for the veriest prince of good
fellows living or dead. With such a
man in the White House, the people
can go to bed and sleep o’ nights.
His personality may not be a thing
of beauty nor a joy forever; and yet
his taking off would eclipse the gay
ety of democracy and impoverish the
party’s stock of resounding platitudes.
•I made no mistake in estimating
the capabilities of Woodrow Wilson
for shining public service; nor fail
ed to hit the bull’s eye when I warn
ed the party leaders what they were
going to get when they got him!—
Houisville Courier-Journal.
INEFFICIENCY CAUSED BY FA
TIGUE.
Whatever of antagonism—and it is
not a little—there may be in labor
circles to the new “efficiency,” its
methods and its standards, is based,
at least avowedly, on the contention
that it Increases production without
l'Sg?rd to the effects of faster and
harder work on those doing it. Of
course efficiency so secured is no
more scientific than it is humane, and
it would not in the end be profitable
to the employers.
One boss who evidently knows this
is the superintendent of a Connecti
cut brass works who contributes an
interesting little story to The Iron
Age. At these works there was re
cently constructed a long incline up
which heavy loads were to be wheeled
in barrows, and premiunis were offer
ed to the men who did or exceeded
a certain amount of this labor. They
attempted it vigorously, but none suc
ceeded in earning any of the extra
money, instead they alt£ fell consid
erably below the fixed task.
Prompt investigation by ap expert
disclosed that the trouble lay in,the.
fact that the men were working. Wttl>r
out sufficiently frequent periods
rest. Thereupon a foreman: ®aa sta^'
tioned by a clock, and, every. tW.aWtP,
minutes he blew, a whistle. At the
sound gyery barrow mum stopped
where he was, sat down on his bar
row and rested for three minutes.
The first hour after that was done
showed a remarkable change for the
better in accomplishment; the second
day the men all made a premium al
lowance by doing more than what
had been too much, and on the third
day the minimum compensation had
risen, on the average, 40 per cent.,
w;ith no complaints of overdriving
from any of the force.
The resulting profits, whether fair
ly shared or not between employers
and employed, did not, as the ene
mies of “efficiency schemes” often
assert, go wholly to the boss. A pos
sibly weak point in the tale is that
it does not tell how long the plan
continued to work to the satisfac
tion of all concerned.—New York
Times.
Be patient with your piscatorial
friends. It is simply impossible to
tell the truth about the size of a
fish the first time. Fish and facts are
not affinities.

Liiacs in Bloom at Dawson.
The Dawson News says: A fine,
large lilac bush bearing 14 fragrant
and fully flowered fluffy panicles is
blooming in full glory in the suburbs
of Dawgon. It is at the Blaker gar
dens on the hill back of the city.
This splendid shrub stands four feet
or more In height and has ample
limbs, from which the pale blue flow
ers hang in rare clusters. The frag
rance make old-time Klondikers re
call garden scenes of the outside
w|orld. This Klondike specimen is
of particular interest here since it
was grown from seed sown out of
doors. The seeds were planted on
the Acklen farm overlooking the
Klondike valley, by Mr. Acklen six--'
teen years ago.
