SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1915.
So very often we see the phrase “becoming a Benedict" used in news
papers to tell that a man is getting married. Is this not all wrong? Should
it not be “becoming a Benedick,” the name of the character in Shakespeare
who always swore against marriage and finally succumbed?
• ^
Professor Munsterberg tells us that Germans will vote against President
Wilson for re-election and this brings up the old question about hyphenated
Americans. It is too bad that any man who has sworn allegiance to the
United States cannot entirely give his heart and soul to this country, but j
evidently human nature is stronger than the love tor an adopted country, j
After all, this country is made up of people who have gloried in hyphens.
Americans boost that they are Anglo-Saxons, Scotch-Irish and several other
things, and. maybe, the Germans are not the worst sinners after all. There
is no reason why persons should not it they wish qualify their American title,
although they should be Americans first. It will be a frightful curse to the
coming generations, though, if the population becomes divided up into racial
cliques.
_
Some Republicans wax mightly and proudly indignant nowadays when
they speak of what might be called hyphenated Republicans. They are right
to a certain extent. There should be no such thing as a Progressive-Republi
can, a Roosevelt-Republican or any other sort of an adjectival Republican^!*
the chairman of the Republican meeting said last night, but let us suppose
that all the Republican party had stood with Taft and voted with Taft, anti
where would the country be today?
Just now both great political parties are like the European belligerents.
Roth sides will tell you they are sure of winning. The other side is on its last
legs, all the salt herring industry will be opposed to the other side because
of the new tax on tish tails, that splendidly intellectual backbone, the farmer,
gentlemen, knows that his family’s bread and butter depends on the election
of our glo-o-o-orious standard bearer, and the poor man, the worker, the
honest toiler, the foundation of society and the pillar of right and justice will
use his magnificent intellect to drive our opponents to confusion, defeat and
disgrace. (Applause.)
Just like the belligerents; Roumania will declare war against the brutal,
inhuman enemy next week and the Greek army is being moved forward in
a position where it can attack to advantage the uncivilized dogs that dared
to fight against a nation that is for nothing but troth, liberty, justice and the
rest.

WASHINGTON. Dec. IS.—(Special
to Gateway)—The new mistress of
the White House is quite the Wilson
type, plus the Virginia manner and a
southern love of life. Se was former
ly Miss Edith Bolling, daughter of the
late William H. Bolling of Wythville,
Ya. She was one of thirteen children,
nine of whom are still living.
In 1896, Edith Bolling, a beautiful
girl, met Norman Galt. A short time
| later they were married. This hap
pened while she was visiting her
sister. Mrs. Alexander Hunter Galt.
He was a vestryman in St. Thomas’s
church in Washington and was gen
erous with his wealth and personal
activities in the church until his death
eight years ago. After his death Mrs.
Galt continued an active member of
the same church, occupying the pew
her husband had possessed ever since
the church was built. Just after the
announcement of her engagement to
the president, however, Mrs. Galt
transferred her membership to St.
Margaret’s Episcopal church.
The President’s bride is not known
as a college girl, though she conclud
ed her education at Poyell’s college
in Richmond, Va., after attending
Martha Washington college at Abing
ton, Va., for some time.
She is fond of music, flowers,
economics and light literature. Like
all good Virginians, she is a good
horsewoman and splendid driver. She I
likes golf and since her engagement
;o the President he has attempted to
teach her some of the fine points of
the game.
On baseball and horses she is a fan,
as much so as the President himself.
She does not play tennis but is a
great walker, enjoying long tramps,
sometimes for two or three hours
about town or along a country road.
She is not strenuous, however, and
could not be called athletic; is rather
one who enjoys good health and bv
ing, reasonable hours and prefers
healthful fun to late suppers.
Indication of her love of the open
is found in the frequent jaunts Mrs.
Galt and the President took into the
counfry after the announcement of
their engagement. On several occas
ions hampers of picnic lunch were
loaded into the President’s big limou
sine, to be investigated during the
long ride over the rolling higways of
Virginia and Maryland.
Mrs. Galt is not a suffragist. It
is not because she opposes suffrage.
It is because she never has gone deep
ly into the issue. Mrs. Galt is of a,
commercially successful family. Two
of her brothers, Richard W. and
Julian B. Bolling, are now associated
in the Galt jewelry firm, the oldest in
the city, established by Norman Galt’s
gram!father and now owned by Mrs.
Wilson herself.
Mrs. Galt’s other brothers are John
Randolph Bolling of this city and
Rolfe E. Bolling, manager of the
Commercial Bank of Panama. Her
sisters are Mrs. Matthew H. Maury
of Anniston, Ala., Mrs. Alexander
I Hunter Galt and Miss Bertha Bolling,
j who now make their home in Wash
: ington.
The coming of a woman of Mrs. |
Galt’s type to the White House is a
matter of general satisfaction to
genuine Washingtonians. White
House life will not be new or strange
to her. The Galt family of Washing
ton and the Bollings of Wythville
have been on visiting terms at the
Executive mansion for many years.
During the first Cleveland administra
tion, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Galt were
not only among the closest of the
personal friends of President Cleve
land, but also among the very few
guests at the wedding of the Presi
dent and Miss Frances Folsom. Miss

Gertrude Galt, now Mrs. Richardson
of Columbus, Ohio, practically made
her debut in the White House as a
protege of Mrs. Cleveland's.
It was from a country town in old
Virginia that Miss Edith Rolling
came to Washington some twenty
years ago. Possessed of more than
overage beauty, she immediately
found herself in a cultured circle. It
is* from this circle that the coming
season is likely to draw a new ele
ment to the White House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—(Special
i
by U. P.)—Mrs. Norman Galt Wilson,
who by her marriage to the President
today becomes the new mistress of
the White House and first lady of the
land, is a bright, hsppy, gentlewoman
with a smile which instantly wins
everyone. Her smile is the most
winning and attractive feature of her
beautiful face. Her hair is very
dark, with not a suspicion of gray;
and she is of medium height, erect,
graceful and well proportioned.
She has spent much time during
the last few months working on her
trousseau; and the gowns in it repre
sent her taste and character as inter-;
preted by the handiwork of many
modistes, from those of New York to
popular Raltimore tailors and a
modest Washington dressmaker.
None of Mrs. Wilson's new gowns
are brilliant. They run to soft green,
(Rolling green, Mrs. Rolling Galt
Wilson’s friends call it);^rose color,
mild yellow and dark blue. The
sleeves of nearly all of them are long,
after the more modish patterns. The
necks of the evening gowns are with
out exception modest decollette. One
of her costumes which is distinctive in
its suggestion of Rolling green, is of
green duvetyn, a soft, velvety mater
ial which seems to blend silk and old
fashioned chenille. It is trimmed in
beaver.
The President’s bride has an aris
tocratic foot, in perfect proportion to
her height and size. She generally
purchases a A Mi A last. Her foot
wear is always fastidious but modest.
There is a marked absence of brilliant
buckles and sparkling heels. Many of
her hats, the President’s bride trim
med herself.
New patterns in China and Japan
floor mattings, rugs and linoleums.
