Mr. Hale bus to say about tbe man

"There may have been fiercer po

Watch for it Read it Sure
Sagehot and that, able to write a book
im constitutional government, he was
Just as able to handle a governor's
Job, constitutionally or otherwise.
"This is the fact that makes Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson a looming fig
ure in the world today. This is tbe
reason it was worth while to go to
Trenton to observe the advent of a
new type of man into tbe arena of
politics."
Here is the pen picture of Governor
Wilson as painted by Mr. Hale:
"Dr. Wilson's face is familiar a
high forehead, gray eyes, a loug Jaw,
a very long Jaw. He instantly recalls
Joseph Chamberlain as that British
statesman was In other days. Tbe
profiles of tbe two might be ex
changed , almost without detection,
p. Wilson Is of good height, sturdily
built, with square shoulders. Ho
stands erect and on his feet. If you

ter In any situation. Governor Wil
son Is n man of positive opinion, re
llnvrcl by nn eager sense of humor.
II mores nnd speaks with unfailing
volxp. with good naturcd certainty of
himself."
The story, of Governor Wilson's fight
with the boises and the special inter
ests Is Interesting told by Mr. Hale,
nere la one of the governor's quoted
statements, which gives a clear Idea of
his attitude on popular government:
"Buck of all reform lies the means
of getting It Back of the question
whnt you want is the question, How
nre you going to get it? We are all
pretty well agreed, I take it, that cer
tain reforms are needed. But we find
that the first necessary reform is one
that will render us able to get reform.
"We- have been calling our govern
ment a republic, and we have Wen
living under the delusion that it is a
representatlveV government That is
the theory. But the fact is that we
are not living under a representative
government We are living under a
government of party bosses, who In se
cret conference and for their private
ends determine what we shall and
shall not have. The first, the imme
diate thing thnt we have got to do is
to restoi1 representative government
There has got to be a popular rebel
lion for the reconquest and reassump
tlon by the people of the rights of the
people too long surrendered."

perated at "some injustice that" had
been done him by a field marshal
pointed his pistol at the marshal and

DR. WILSON AS ORATOR.
Governor of New jersey ln
a Characteristic Attitude.
,
1011. by American Press Association.
TRIBUTE TO THE TC1LERS.
Humble Men Who Labor Are America'e
Might, Says Wilson.
In one of bis recent addresses Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
paid an eloquent tribute to the tolling
millions whose labor has given Amer
ica its place among the nations. He
said:
"You know how It thrills our blood
sometimes to see how all the nations
of the earth wait to see what America
is going to do with her pbwer her
physical power her enormous re
sources, her enormous wealth, her pow
er to levy innumerable armies and
build up arummeuts which might con
quer the world.
"But what has made us strong? The
toil of millions of men, the toll of men
who do not' boast, who are Inconspic
uous, but who live their lives humbly
from day to day, and this great body
of workers, this great body of toilers,
constitutes the might of America.
"What is the manifest duty of all
statesmanship, therefore? It Is to see
that this great body of men who con
stitute the strength of America are
properly dealt with by the laws and
properly nurtured and taken care of
by the policy of the country..
"Well, what hinders, what stands
in the way? Why, you know that ev
erything really worth discussing comes
to the question of. the corporations.
Now, I do not want you to expect from
me any Invective against the corpora
tions. I was bred a lawyer, but I do
not know how to draw up an indict
ment against a whole nation. If ypu
will give me the facts I can indict one
ninn at a time."
LABOR MUST ORGANIZE
If It Is to Seoure Justice From Organ
ized Capital, Says Woodrow Wilson.
Few public men have taken such
definite ground on tbequosfiou of the
rights nnd duties' of organized labor
as has Governor Woodrow Wilson of
New Jersey. In a letter written to
one of the labor lenders of bis home
state recently the governor sold: . -
"I have always been the warm friend
of organized Inbor. It Is, in my opin
ion, uot only perfectly legitimate, but
absolutely necessary, that labor should
organize if it Is to secure Justice from
organized capital, and everything that
It does to improve the condition of
workingmen, to obtain legislation that
will impose full legal responsibility
upon the employer for his treutmeut
of his employees and for their protec
tion against accident, to secure Just
and adequate wages aud to put
reasonable limits upon the working
day and upon all the exactions of
those who employ labor ought to have
the hearty support of all fair minded
and public spirited men, for there is a
sense lu which the condition of. labor
is the condition of tbe nation itself.
The laboring man cannot beuellt him
self by injuring the industries of the
country. I am much more afraid that
the great corporations, combinations
and tniBts will do the country deep
harm than I am, that the labor or
ganizations will harm it, and yet 1 be
lieve the corporations to be necessary
Instruments of modern business."
DISCARDING THE LABELS.
Woodrow Wilson Comments on the
Breaking Down of Party Lines.
"The country Is awakening to a de
gree of civic consciousness known be
fore only ln4the period when the coun
try was boru." said Governor Wood
row Wilsou of New Jersey In a reoeut
uddresu, "We are scrutinizing the men
who are conducting the government
We kuow we are living In an age of
complicated conditions. From all our
cities niuu after uiau tells me that nev
er before have the clllzeus been so
awakened to public questions to the
question of public degeneration.
"The Interesting thing of our politics
now Is thut men are not labeled. You
cannot tell from the way a man voted
last time how he will vote, the next
time. Men nre beginning to find out
that the safe line Is the right line.
"The mere moral Impulse In me is
of no forve unless It can be translated
tuto action. It Is Immoral to propose
for the United States something that is
not of benefit to the whole United
States. It Is Immoral to promote legis
lation for your business unless It Is
nlso for the Interest of the rest -f the
country. Our rovernment is not a pa
ternal institution," ,

to seize their stronghold.
The dash of the 300 through the gates
and down the avenue whs the moat
spectacular experience In Truxtou's
life. He was up with Qulnnox and
General Braze, galloping well In front
of the yelling troops. . These, mounted
carbineers, riding as Bedouins, swept
like thunder down the street, whirled
Into the broad, rptvi arena beyond the
duke's palace and were upon the sur'
prised ruffians before they Were fully
awake to the situation.
They came tumbling out of barns nnd
sheds, clutching their rifles in nerveless
nanus, agnast in the face of absolute
destruction. The enemy, craven at the
outset, threw down their guns nnd tried
to escape through the alleys aud side
streets at the end t the common. Fir
ing all the time, the attacking force
rode them' down as If , they were so
many dogs.
After ten or fifteen minutes of this
desultory carnage it was reported-that,
a large force of men were entering the
avenue from Regengetz circus. Quln
nox sent his chargers toward this great
horde of foot soldiers, but they did not
falter, as he had expected. On they
swept 2,000 or 3,000 of them. At their
head rode five or six officers. The fore
most was Count Marians.
Qulnnox saw now that the Iron
Count was determined to storm tha
gates aud gave the command to re
treat Waving their 'rifles and shout
lug defiance over their -shoulders, the
dragoons drew up, wheeled and gal
loped toward the gates.
Scarcely were the riiassiv'e portals
closed and the great steel bars drop
ped into place by the men who attend
ed them when a low, dull explosion
shook the earth as If by volcanic force.
Then came the crashing of timbers,
the crncklnq of masonry, the whirring
of a thousand missiles through the
air.' .Before the very eyes, of the
stunned, bewildered defenders, dis
mounting near the parade ground, the
huge gates and pillars fell to the
ground.
The gates had been dynamited.
Then it was that Truxton King re
membered. Mnrlnnx's sappers had
been qnletly at work for days drilling
from the common to thp gates. It was
a. strange coincidence that Marians
should have chosen 'this day for his
culminating assault on the castle. The
skirmish at daybreak hnd hurried his
arrangements no doubt, but none the
less were his plnns complete. The ex
plosives had been laid during the night.
The fuses reached to the mouth of the
tunnel across the common. As "he
swept up the avenue at the head of
his command, ha wk faced and with
glittering eyes, he ftnarled the com
mand that put fire to the fuses.'
A moment later his vanguard stream
ed through the aperture and faced the
deadly fire from the driveway. '
At last they began to advance across
the grassy meadow. When one. man
fell under the fire of the guardsmen
another rushed iuto his place. Three
times the Indomitable Graustnrklans
drove them back nnd as often did Mar
ians drag them up again, exalted by
the example he set.
"Gad, he Is a soldier!" cried Trux
ton. '-'Hello! TV-re's' my friend Bru
tus." lie's no coward either. JEIere's
a try for you, Brutus."
He dropped to his knee and took de
liberate nim at the frenzied henchman.
The discovery that there , were three
bullets lu Brutus' breast when he was,
picked up long afterward did not af
feet the youuc nmu's contention thnt
his wfis the one that hud found the
heart. ,
The fall of Brutus unred the Iron
Count to greater fury. Ilia hor-e had
been shot from under him. He wa
on his feet, calling to his men to fol
low him as he moved toward the stub
born row of green aud ted. Bullets
hissed about Jhis ears, but he gave uo
heed to them. .
The commander of the guard gave
the command to full back slowly to
ward the castle. '
Firing, at every step, they crossed
the parade cround and then nimle-n
quick dush for the shelter of the long
outcomes, .uananx, down in tbe pa

strong arms, threw him over his Bhoul

"Release me. curse von!" shrlsk-Pil
kVos Eugo, striking his rescuer in the

"I'm saving you for another day,"
said King as he dropped behind the
Dniustrncie with his burden safe.
There were other witnesses tn Trill
ion's rash act In a. lofty window of
the north wing crouched a white faced
gin and a grim old man. The latter
held a rifle in his tense though feeblp
old hands. Now and then the old man
would sleht his rifle and fire. Th iHrl
who crouched beside bird was there to
designate a certain figure In the ever
changing mass of humanity on the
oioouy paraue ground.' Her clear eyes
sought for and found Marian? her nn.
wavering finger pointed him out to the
oiu uiarusman.
She-saw Vos Enco fall. Then tnll
well known figure sprang Into view,
uasning toward her wounded lover,
Her hear stopped beating. With her
hands to her temples she leaned
far over the window ledge and

out the picture. . It was impossible for
ner to know that the man aud his
burden had reached the balcony In
safety. Even now they might be ly
ing on the terrace, riddled by bullets.
The old man roused her from the
stupor of dread. He called her name.
Dully she responded. Standing bolt
upright in the window, she sought out
the 'figure of Marlanx and pointed
rigidly.
"Ah," groaned the old man, "they
will not be driven buck this time!
"1 FEW. AS XT A GRAVY PERSON All DAB-

They win not be denied. It Is tbe
last charge! God, how they come!

Where is be? Now! Ah, I see! Yes,
that is he! He Is near enough now. 1
cannot miss him!"
Marlanx was leading bis men up to
the terrace. , '
At' the top of the terrace the Iron
Count suddenly stopped. His long
body stiffened and then crumpled like
a reed. A 'score of heavy feet tram
pled on the fallen leader, but he did
not feel the Impact x "
A bulle from the north winy had
crashed Into his brain.
"At Inst!' shrjeked the old man at
the wi. d.iw. "Come, Miss Tullis; my
work is done." ,
"He Is dead, your grace?" hi low,
awed tones.
"Yes, my dear," said tbe Duke of
Feree. a smile of relief on bis face.
"Come, let me escort you to the prince.
You have been must. courageous."
A" group of . terrified women were)
huddled In' the far corner of a near
by room. The Duke of Terse held
open the door for Loraiue Tullis, but
she did not ener. When he turned
to call she was halfway down the
top flight of stairs', racing through the
powder smoke toward the landing be
low. .
At every step she was screaming in
the very agony of gladness:
"Stand firm! Hold them! Help Is
coming! Help is coming!"
A last look throusfi the window at
the end of the hall bad revealed to
her the most glorious of visions.
Red and green, troops were pouring
through the dismantled gateway, their
horses surging over the ugly ground
rifts and debris as if possessed of tbe
fabled' wlags. '
Her tirothor was out there, and all
was well. She was crying the Joyous
news from the bead of tbe grand
stairway when Truxton King caught
sight of her. . - .
He was powder stained and grimy.
There was blood on his face and shirt
front -
"You are shot!" she cried, clutching
the post at the bend in the stairs.
"Truxton! Truxton!".
"Not even scratched!" he shouted
as he reached her side. "It's not
my" He stopped short even as he
held out his arms to clasp her to his
breast. "It's some one else's blood,"
he finished resolutely. She swayed
toward him, and he caught her in
his arms.
"I love you oh, I love yon, Trux
ton!" she cried over and over again.
He was faint with Joy; His kisses
spoke the adoration be would have
cried out to her If emotion had not
clogged his throat.
"Eric." she whispered at last, draw
ing back in bis arms and looking up
Into his eyes! with a great pity in her
own. "Is he is he dead, Truxton?"
"No," he said gently; "badly hurt,
but"-
"ne will not die? Thank God,
Truxton. He is a brave oh. a very
brave man!"
Leaderless between' ttye deadly fires,
the mercenaries gave up the tight after
a brief stand nt tbe terrace.

GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.
All Progressive Reforms Have That
For Their Object, Says Wilson.
Discussing the progressive move
ment in politics, Governor Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey said recently:
"If you will look at tbe proposed re
forms, proposed by men in both par
ties, meant to ' serve the country In
some special way, you will see that
each particular reform has a definite
object For example, the qViestlon of
the cost of living is a question which
touches the great body of the people.
It .does not touch those exceptional
persons whose Income Is abundant
It touches the whole body of the peo
ple. The question of direct primaries
touches the accessibility of the offices
by the people. It touches the means
which they are to exercise to put the
sort of 'men they desire into office.
The question of . the equalization of
taxation means that equality which,
is Justice, that fairness which will see
that no man is taxed more than an
other man or upon a different basis
from other men or other corporations.
The question of corrupt practices in
elections Is a question of the attacks
which have been made upon the vir
tue of the people. '
"Every direction you turn you will
see that what we are straining after
Is to bring the government back with
in the touch of the people and to use
it in behalf-of the people. Upon what
sort ,of occasion, therefore, in what
sort of campaign, should a man who
remembers the long traditions of
American government take greater
pleasure and zest than in a campaign
which has such objects?"
THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.
It Is Pervading the Whole Country, De-
claraa Woodrow Wilson.
How .widespread is the nroerpRslvA
movement In American politics was
eloquently expressed by Governor'
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey In a
recent speech. The governor said:
"Tt tinea tl nt rAnllfiwl nnv m.oal tmn..
inatlon to think that high thoughts
and purposes In politics are .running
subtly through every household and,
every member of every household In.
this country. ' It does not ueed that
you should touchy elbows actually
touch elbows with men in the street
and men in the shop In order to know
me great issues oi human happiness
that are Involved in a arreat contest
like this, for tbe question of the tariff
la not a mere question of policy. It Is
a question of tbe rearrangement of the
public Interests as you touch every
household in this country, and bow
any man In such circumstances can
hold his bead up after be has voted for
a special interest without a Inst ran
ception of the common Interests I for
one .cannot comprehend.
"But whether men can comprehend
It or not help It or not we all know
that the 'mills of the cods erlnrt sinw.
ly,' and they 'grind exceedingly fine.'
ana me men wno now resist this
great Impulse of reform, the men who
Impede this great compulsion of pub
lic interest, will be ground so fine in
some of these mills of tbe gods that
their very dust will be, Imperceptible,"
