With us it is a matter of going- out of business entirely, just as fast as we can do it.
Existing present values have been thrown to the winds and lost sight of in our grim
determination to turn everything merchandise as well as fixtures into ready
money. The original selling price remains on all goods alongside of the present
sale price, which shows plainly the immense reductions.

CHAPTER XXI.
I have bitterly resented at times
the imputation and charge that Wood
row Wilson Is so egotistical, self
willed and so wedded to his own
Ideas that he not only does not invite
ffuggestion from the outside, but that
he resents It and refuses to be guided
by it.
I feel that my daily Intimacy with
him for 11 year gives me the right to
speak frankly in the matter. Of
course, like every great man, he Is
firmly set In his opinions. He holds
and cleaves to them with a passionate
devotion and tenacity, but only after
the fullest consideration of all the
facte and information upon which he
bases a final conviction. Time and
swain I have seen him gallantly re
treat under the fire of a better argu
ment In a matter that he had been
previously disposed to favor.
And what of his attitude toward
those who came to the executive of
fices to argue with
matter in which he J
had formed what f
appeared to be an
unalterable judg
ment Never did he
assume the un
friendly or unyield
ing attitude of the
doctralnaire or the
man of a single
idea, i recall a case x
Jn point. He was i
discussing the reve-
nue situation with
Represents tlve
Kltchin of North Carolina, at a time
when it was the subject of bitter con
troversy In the ranks of tne demo
cratic party. The president and Mr.
Kltchin held radically divergent
views, on this matter; the president
sought to lead the party In one direc
tion and Mr. Kltchin frankly and
openly pursued an opposite course. 1
was present at this conference. No
warm friendship ever existed between
these two men; but there was never
any evidence of hostility in the pres
ident's attitude toward Mr. Kltchin.
He listened politely and with a great
deal of patience to every argument
that Mr. Kltchin vigorously put for
ward to sustain his contention In the
matter and took without wincing the
sledgehammer blows often dealt by
Mr. Kitchln. The president replied
to Mr. Kitchin's arguments In an open.
frank manner and invited him to the
fullest possible discussion of the mat
ter.
Defrat Cheerfully Taken. .
I recall the conclusion of this inter
view, when it seemed that, having
driven the president from point to
point, Mr. Kitchln was the victor.
There was no disappointment or cha
grin evident in the president's man
ner as he faeed'Mr. Kltchin to accept
his defeat. He met it in true sports
manlike fashion. At the conclusion
of Mr. Kitchin's argument the presi
dent literally threw up his hands and
said, quietly, without showing a trace
of disappointment: "I surrender, Mr.
Kitchin. You have beaten me. I shall
Inform my friends on the hill that I
was mistaken and shall instruct them,
of course, to follow you In this mat
ter." I could crowd this chapter with
similar incidents, but it would be a
work of supererogation.
Never before was Mr. Wilson's
open-minded desire to apply in prac
tice the principle of common counsel
better Illustrated than In his handling
of the Important work in connection
with the establishment of the federal
reserve act, the keystone of the great
arch of the democratic administra
tion. It was the first Item in his pro
gramme to set business free in Amer
ica and to establish it upon a firm and
permanent basts. He aptly said to
me, when he first discussed the basic
reason for the legislation, he wished
not only to set business free In Amer
ica, but he desired also to take away
from certain financial interests in the
country the power they had unjust
ly exercised of "hazing" the demo
cratic party at every presidential
election.
Shortly after the presidential elec
tion of 1912, while he was burdened
with the responsibilities of the ex-1
rcutive office at Trenton, N. J., he
quickly began, in collaboration with
that fine, able, resourceful Virginian,
Representative Glass, then chairman
of the banking and currency commit
tee of the house, the preparation of
the federal reserve banking currency
act. For hours at the executive of -Jlce
In Trenton the Virginia congress
man conferred with the governor of
New Jersey over the preliminary
drafts of this most vital piece of leg
islation. For days the work of prep
aration was carried on, so that, when
Mr. Wilson arrived in Washington to
take up the duties of the presidency,
the banking and currency bill was in
shape and ready for Immediate intro
duction in the senate and house.
All Recreation Foregone.
Looking back over the struggle that
ensued from the time this measure
was introduced into the senate and
house, I often wonder If the people
"back home," especially the various
business interests of the country,
which have been saved from financial
disaster by this admirable and whole
some piece of legislation, ever realized
the painstaking labor and Industry,
night and day. which Woodrow Wil
son, in addition to his other multitu
dinous duties, put upon this task.
Could they but understand the -character
of the opposition he faced, even
in his own party ranks, and how in
the midst of one of Washington's
most trying summers, without vaca
tion or recreation of any kind, he
grappled with this problem almost
single-handed, they would, perhaps,
be willing to pay tribute to the
earnestness and sincerity of this man
who finally placed upon the statute
books one of the greatest construc
tive pieces of legislation of half a
century.
Having given his heart to this Im
portant task, whose enacement into
law was a boon to business and es
tablished for the first time In Amer
ica a "democracy of credit." as he was
pleased to call it, he relentlessly pur
sued his object until senators and
representatives yielded to his insis
tent request for the enactment of this
law, not under the stress of the party
whip, but through arguments which
he passionately presented to those
who sought his counsel in this mat
ter. During this time I gladly accepted
the president's invitation to spend the

where I occupied the bedroom that
had been used as Mr. Lincoln's cabi
net room and where Mr. Lincoln had
signed his famous emancipation proc
lamation. My presence during that
summer, as a member of the presi
dent's family, gave me a good oppor
tunity to see him in action in his
conferences in regard to the federal
reserve act.
WUons Pmttenee? Tried.
Never was greater patience, for
bearance or fortitude, under such try
ing circumstances, shown by a chief
executive. Day after day, when It
seemed as if real progress was being
made, unexpected opposition would
develop and make it necessary to re
build our shattered lines, until finally
the bill was out of the house and on
its way to the senate. Its arrival in
the senate was but the beginning of
what appeared an almost interminable
struggle. The president's stalwart
adviser in the treasury, Mr. McAdoo,
seemed always at hand to rally and
give encouragement to our forces,
many of whom at times were in de
spair over the prospects of the bill.
The leaders of the opposition on the
committee were Senator Root on the
republican side and Senators O' Gor
man and Reed on the democratic.

Highway Bridge Contract Let.
WHITE SALMON, Wah.. Nov. 14.
(Special.) A contract has been let
to build a bridge across the Klickitat
river at the mouth of Surveyors creek
on the new Yakima-Columbia high
way. This highway will eliminate
nearly 70 miles between Portland and
Yakima, passing through a portion of
the Indian reservation, skirting the
east slope of Mount Adams, then on
to the North Bank highway and Port
land via Glenwood and White Sal
mon. This route, of which only seven
miles of new road has to be con
structed, will be one of wonderful
scenic beauties, and it is expected will
be ready to use by early summer.
Letter to State Treasurer Is " Pre

Commission.
SALEM. Or., Nov. 14. (Special.)
Under what authority the state treas

from the segregated accident fund to
the state industrial accident fund is
the Question referred to O. P. Hoff,
state treasurer, in a letter prepared
today by members of the state indus
trial accident commission.
It was said that this transfer was
made to take care of an overdraft, oc
casioned by an over-investment of in
dustrial accident funds by the state
bond commission. This investment, it
was alleged, was made . by the
bond commission upon reports re
ceived from the state treasurer show
ing that there was J100.000 In the ac
cident fund for Investment in excess
of the amount that actually existed.
In the absence of any definite in
formation from the state treasurer, in
addition to his letter relating to the
transfer of the funds from the segre

trial accident fund, members of the
accident commission said that the
transfer of 976,000 of segregated acci
dent funds probably was necessary to
