OFFENSE NEVER INTENDED Letters Made Public by Tumulty Show Editor's Support Was Valued by Governor. BT JOSEPH P. TUMULTY. (Copyright. 1821. Doubleday, Psse Co. A.I rights reserved. Published by Ar rangement.) CHAPTER XII. Upon completion of the legislative work of the first session of tba New Jersey legislature the name of Wood- row Wilson quickly forged to the front as a strong presidential possi bility. Intimate friends. Including Walter Hines Page, afterward United States ambassador to Great Britain; Clevetand H. Dodge and Robert Bridges, the two latter old friends and classmates of the governor in the famous class of '79 at Princeton, set about by conferences to launch the presidential boom of their old friend, and selected for the task of the actual management of the campaign, the young Princetonlan, William M. Mc Combj, then an active and rising young lawyer of New York. These gentlemen and other devoted friends and advisers) of the governor made up the first Wilson contingent and at once Initiated a plan of pub licity and organization throughout the country. They arranged to have the New Jersey governor visit stra tegic points in the country to make addresses on a variety of public questions. Whether Colonel Harvey was be hind the scenes as the adviser of this little group I have never ascertained, but Harper's Weekly, then edited by the colonel, was his leading supporter in the magazine world, carrying the name of the Princetonlan at its mast head as a candidate for the presi dency. There were frequent confer ences between the colonel and the governor at the executive offices and as a result of these conferences the Wilson boom soon became a thing to be reckoned with by the "Old Guard" In control of party affairs In the na tion. 'Wilson's Stock Goes U. Wilson stock from the moment of the adjournment of the legislature began to rise, and his candidacy spread with great rapidity, until in nearly every state in the union Wil son clubs were being established. The New Jersey primaries, where again he met and defeated the Smith forces; the Ohio primaries, where he apiit the delegates with the favorite son, Governor Harmon, a distin guished democrat, and the Wisconsin primaries, at which he swept the state, gave a tremendous Impetus to the already growing movement for the reform governor of New Jersey. Everything was serenely moving in the Wilson camp, when like a thun derclap out of a clear sky broke the story of the disagreement between Colonel Harvey. Marse Henry Wat terson and the governor of New Jer sey. I recall my conversation with Governor Wilson on the day follow ing the Harvey-Watterson conference at a New York club. As private sec retary to the governor. 1 always made it a rule to keep in close touch with every conference then being held re garding the political situation, and in this way I first learned about the Harvey-Watterson meeting, which for a few weeks threatened to destroy all the lines of support that had been built up throughout the last months of diligent work and organisation. The governor and I were seated In a trolley car on our way from the state capitol to the railroad station In Trenton when he informed me. in the most casual way and without seeming to understand the possible damage he had done his own cause, of what fol lowed his conference the previous day. It waa like this: The confer ence had ended and they were leav ing the room when Colonel Harvey put his hand on Woodrow Wilson's shoulder and said: "Governor. I want to ask you a frank question, and I want you to give me a frank an swer. In your opinion is the support of Harper's Weekly helping or hurt ing you?" Wilsna la Embarrassed. In telling me of it. Woodrow Wilson said: "I was most embarrassed and replied: "Colonel, I wish you had not asked me that question.' 'Well, what is the answerr Colonel Harvey Insist ed pleasantly. 'Why, Colonel, some of my friends tell me it is not helping me In the west.' Colonel Harvey said: I was afraid you might feel that way about It and we shall have to soft pedal a bit." Mr. Wilson was so serenely un conscious that any offense hsd been taken that when Informed by me a little later that his name had disap peared from the head of the editorial column of Harper's Weekly he did not connect this with the Interview. "Was Colonel Harvey offended?" 1 asked. "He didn't seem to be." was the governor's answer. 1 Immediately scented the danger of the situation and the possibilities of disaster to his political fortunes that lay In his reply, and I told him very frankly that 1 was afraid he had decplv wounded Colonel Harvey and that It might result In a serious break In their relations. The governor serined grieved at this and said that be hoped such was not the case; that even after he had expressed himself so freely. Colonel Harvey had been most kind and agreeable to him and that they had rontlnued to discuss in the most friendly way the plans for the campaign and that the little con ference had ended without apparent evidence that anything untoward had happened that might lead to a break In their relations. We then discussed at length the seriousness of the situation, and as a result of our talk the governor wrote Cilonel Harvey and endeavored to make clear what he had In mind when be answered the question put to him by the colonel at the Manhattan club conference a few days before, not. In deed, by way of apology, but aimpty by way'of explanation. Thia letter to the colonel and a subsequent one went a long way toward softening the unfortunate Impression that had been created by the publication of the Harvey-Watterson correspondence.

My Dear Governor Wilson: Replyiag to your not from the University club, 1 think it should go without saying that no purely personal issue could arlae be tween you and mo. Whatever anybody else may aurmiae. you surely must know that in trying to arouse and further your political aspirations during the paat few years I have been, actuated solely by the belief that 1 waa rendering a distinct public service. Tbe real point at the time ef oar inter view was, aa you aptiy put It. one simply "of fact and of business," and when you stated the fact to be that my aupport waa hurting your candidacy, and that you were experiencing difficulty In finding a way to counteract Ita harmful effect, the only thing possible for me to do, in simple fairness to you. no less thanoin considera tion of my own self-respect, waa to relieve you of your embarrtismeniw far aa It lay within my power to do To. by ceasing to advocate your nomination- That. 1 think, was fully understood between us at the time, and. acting accordingly, I took down your name from the head of the Weekly's editorial ptineine days be fore your letter was writi, That seems to be all there is to It. Whatever little hurt I may have felt as a consequence of the unexpected per emptortness of your attitude toward me is, of course, wholly eliminated by your gra cious words. Very truly yours, GBORUB HARVEY. To Colonel Harvey's letter Governor Wilson replied as follows: (Personal) Hotel Aator. New York. Jan. 11. 1914. My Dear Colonel Harvey: Generous and cordial as was your letter written in reply to my note from the University club. It has ten me uneasy because. In Its perfect frankness, it shows that I did hurt you oy wnat i so tactlessly said at the Knick erbocker club. I am very much ashamed of myself, for there is nothing I am more aanameu 01 ulan nurtlng a true xrlena, however unintentional the hurt may have been. I wanted very much to see you in Washington, but was abeolutely captured by callers every minute I waa in my rooma. and when I was not there was fulfilling public engagements. I saw you at tbe dinner, but could not get at you. and after the dinner waa surrounded and pre vented from getting at you. I am In town today, to speak this evening and came in early In the hope of catching you at your tor I owe It to you and to my own thought and feeling to tell you how grate ful 1 am for all your generous Dralse and support of ma (no one has described me mora nearly as I would like myself to be than you have); how I have admired you for the Independence and unhesitating b-vurage ana individuality of your course: and how far I waa from dealrin that vna should cease your support of me In the Weekly. Tou will think me very stupid but I did not think of that as the result or my Dlunt anwwer to your question. I thought only of the, means of convincing people of the real Independence of the Weekly's position. You will remember that that was what we discussed. And now that I have unintentionally put you in a falae and embarraaaing position, you heap coals of fire on my head by continuing to give out Interviews favorable to my candidacy! All that I can say is that you have proved yourself very big and that I wish I might have an early opportunity to tell you face to face how I really feel about it all. With warm regard. Cordially and faithfully yours. WOODROW WILSON. Y SCHOOL IS OPEN IXTELLIGEXCE CLASSES ARE ORDERED STARTED. . PIN MONEY THEORY HURTS WOMEN'S PAY Many Said to Be Supporting . Dependent Relatives.

BY RALPH BURTON. (Copyright. 1921, by The Oresonian.) WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 6. (Spe cial.) The women's bureau of the de partment of liberty is out to demolish for all time the "pin-money fallacy" which is held responsible for woman's Inferior position in industry. The re sources of this organization will be devoted! in coming months, toward accumulating a mass of material de signed to show that women ordinarily have responsibilities quite equal to those of men and that their wages ought not be subject to discrimina tion. A woman worker is a provider not only for herself, but frequently for dependents as well, a fact not sufficiently recognized by tne general public Every investigation into the condition of wage-earning women piles up evidence that women are working more often than not to eke out a husband's or father's Inadequate income, or to earn the wage formerly earned by a husband or father who has died or been Incapacitates Fallacy Harts Wages. Whether the inquiry the bureau will make will take up the possibility that women may be competing with their husbands for the same Jobs, thereby tending to depress wages generally, has not been announced. In general, however, there is a tendency in indus try to pay men more than women for the same character ol work, on tne theory that man is the bread winner. Women are constantly faced with the business hypothesis termed a fallacy by the bureau that they are working for Din money. A woman may and often does have a burden of dependents equally heavy with that of a man, the bureau's of ficials contend. Although it admits that Its thesis is not proved, there has already been gathered a great deal of evidence that women s respon sibility Is much greater and more uni versal than is generally supposed. 8-Hour Day Wanted. Insistence upon the eight-hour day and payment of a living wage are the keynotes of policy in the bureau. One of the great handicaps in its work is the existence of certain Industries which cannot or at least do not pay a living wage. In many states the liv ing wage, carefully worked out on the basis of the needs of a single woman, is considerably higher than the actual minimum wage in some in dustries, for the reason that the man agements of those industries assert that they cannot pay a living wage and make the business profitable. The bureau contends also that the living wage ought to be based not merely for the individual, but to cover the cost of living of dependents. The tendency of many establish ments to pay on a piecework basis is also .attracting the attention of the bureau, not alone because rates for such work are likely to be fixed on the basis of the single woman without de pendents, but because the effect of such work on the health Is likely to be detrimental, at least in some oc cupations. Kuan Held Menace. Speeding up of piece workers on some jobs is held by the .bureau to be so obvious as to constitute a serious menace. . . The bureau has also taken a stand for good working conditions, prohibi tion of employment of women in oc cupations involving the use of pot sons proved to be more injurious to women than to men. prohibition of home work, establishment of systems of employment management and co operation of workers in establishing standards. It is pointed out by the bureau that these standards are not designed wholly for women workers. but that they are of special importance to women. JAPAN FACES CRISIS (Contlnni-d Fipm First Page.) Phone us for prices on your wtnter coal. Diamond Coal Co. Bdwy. 2027. Adv. agreement continues automatically until denounced by either party but both have agreed that whenever its terms are not in harmony with the league of nations covenant, it Is-the covenant .and not the alliance which ahall prevail. Japanese publicists al ready call the alliance a "dead letter" and consider a powerful prop has been removed from under Japan. Japan's relations with China have not materially improved and China, in its state of disorganization, is be lieved by Japan to be a vital problem because the future of both is closely and intimately linked. The official Japanese delegation has spent the last days in organizing for the conference. There are Indi cations that the tragio death of the premier, while causing temporary panic, will not be permitted to inter fere with the spirit of unity, patience and perseverance which always char acterize the Japanese- when con fronted with a crisis. FAITH PUT IX ARMS SESSION Conference Depended on to Pull Japan Out of Political Tornado. BY ADACHE MINNOSUKE. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arramcement.) WASHINGTON. D. C. Nov. . (Spe cial.) It Is this arms conference right here, 7000 miles from Tokto, and not the many confabs at the capital of Nippon, which will pull the beloved land through the political tprnado following the sudden loss of the pre mier. Such is the pronouncement of a number of acknowledged- leaders of political Japan who are here with our delegations, such as Mr. S. Yokota, known to everyone of us as the per sonal representatives of the late pre mier. And here is the why and how of it: The eyes of the people of Japan are turned to this conference as to an oracle ready to pronounce their coun try's fate for 1000 years to come. To their way of thinking, here in Wash ington is a Judgment seat an altar from whence comes salvation. To them the conference is the most important evidence of the restoration of an actual sovereignty to the em peror In 1868. This attitude of tbe national mind of Japan means Just one thing our people would insist this is no time for political war, pull ing and petty intrigues among the petty cash and tadpole statesmen. And the overwhelming importance of the arms conference ia quite big enough to prevent our political Jack als and lions alike from capitalizing the national calamity. The smoothest path across the Red ea and out of Egypt lies in the direc tion of Prince Salon.il playing Moses. Of course, nothing short of a political miracle would tempt Prince Salonjl out of the lyrlo quietude of his Kioto retreat. But the magnitude of our stake at the conference may mother a miracle. If only that could be done the Nippon ship of stats would be sailing on a silken sea again in no time at alL There is Just one overwhelming trouble about this. And that is. the determination of the prince not to take an active part in the politics of the country. His constant and per sistent credo for nearly ten years past, ever since, in fact, the fall of the second Salonji cabinet, has been and is: "There is no need of an old maa meddling in the affairs of state now. There are plenty of younger men to do the work." - As far as the actual work of the government goes, the prince's stand is unassailable, no doubt. What Japan wants especially at this crisis is not so much an active leader as a flag in living flesh and blood the standard around which the stalwart could gather and work in harmony and friendly co-operation. The strength of the present govern ment party, the Selyukal in the lower house of the imperial diet, is over whelming. Out of the total of 46 members, not less than 284 are Selyu kal men; It commands the majority all by itself without the help from otner parties. In addition it can count at all times on about JO to 40 members to stand with it a record which has rarely been matched in tbe story or the party politics in Japan. Now, Prince Salonji was the presl dent of the party for many years; he had led it into many a desperate po litical Port Arthur. The fact is. no one has a better right to the title of grandfather of the Selyu party than the prince, for. as everybody knows, the late Premier Hara was the politi cal cniid or the prince. Therefore, if only the prince could be persuaded to resume the leader ship which he laid aside nearly ten years ago it would be dumplings to an open mouth. T'he Selyu party would shine once more as- smooth as oil. And the country would emerge from the shock without being thrown Into chaos. But if Prince Salonji refuses, there are four or five men in the whole Japan who may aspire to the mantle of Hara. Out of the number two are of the Selyu party. And It is more than probable that one of them will come to power. But if thia cannot be done and the Selyu party garnishes the Junk pile with its debris, then Japan will have to Journey through a long, long political valley of tears and nightmares. For it means either that the present opposition party, un der the leadership of Viscount Kato, would come into power or that some other party would seize the reins of government. In either case there would be a grand free-for-all fight red enough to gladden the heart of any real emerald isle patriot. For it does not take a prophet to see that the Selyu party is not going to surrender tamely to any such programme. One fact stands out as significant. When the news of the assassination of the premier fell upon the Japanese delegation a report went out that the Selyu party men with the delegation were rushing madly to book their pas sage borne. Your correspondent im mediately called on Mr. 8. Yokota and the other M. P.s and found them with no such intention whatever. If they thought that tbe loss of the premier is enough to drive the party from power they are apt to do just one thing and that rather fast. They would pack and board the first train out of Washington in the general di rection of Japan. COAST CONDITIONS BEST Cottage Grove Merchant Returnt From Trip to Middle West.. COTTAGE GROVE. Or., Nov. . (Special.) S. L. Mackln, merchant of this city, who has just returned from a business trip to Wisconsin, said that ho returned to much better conditions than he found in the middle west, where farmers have been hit by light crops and low prices. Industries he found in fairly good condition but business has been somewhat discour aged by the reduced buying power of the agricultural class. Mr. Mackln also was Impressed with the fact that the middle west pays Just as high taxes as Oregon does. and that Oregon farmers have been able to meet their taxes, while many In the east have not. He Is firmly convinced that the Willamettee valley has the best times and the best cli mate to be found anywhere. TEACHING SJAFF FETED Reception Is Tendered by Citizens of Jefferson. JEFFERSON.
