Studied Law Baeaui It Wn th 8horteit Path to Public Career, but Quit It, H 8ayi, at Ha Found Ha Didn't Know How Than to Ba an Honest Lawyer and a P6lit:eian. In an Interesting interview with Governor Woodrow . Wilson of New Jersey in the May issue of the World's Work Mr. William Bayard Hale quotes the governor as follows: "How did I happen to enter political life? Why, I suppose I was born a political animal. Always, from the first recollections of my youth up, I have aimed at political life. The rea son I studied law was, I suppose, be cause in the south when I was a boy the law furnished the shortest path to public life. I gave it up because I found I couldn't be an honest law yer and a politician; at least I didn't know how then to do it So as the next best thing to living is public life I tried to satisfy my mind by study ing it I took a new start and went back to school, Johns Hopkins, where I tried to learn something about the facts the facts, mind you, of govern ment From the start my interest has been in things as they are rather than In a theoretical analysis of them. In my thesis I studied the American con gress as it is in fact, an organization cf committees, somewhat as Bagehot bad studied the English constitution as it was and as It actually worked rather than as its theory fictitiously made it So, you see, I was always a practical politician." "So that your occupancy of this com fortable swivel chair is really a ful fillment of your original youthful am bition?" "Not of that so much as the fulfill ment of my whole life. I suppose. When they come to me and said. 'You have been talking public questions and urging your young men to go out and take their part in politics; now it's time for you to take your own turn,' what could I say except: 'I'm glad of the chonce. If the people want me to I will.' "Besides, to speak the truth, I was only asked to do in a bigger field what I hnd been doing at Trlnceton for ten years. I have been fighting privilege at Princeton, Just as I am fighting it here now, only there I had to fight in the dark. My most trusted friends told me I mustn't drag the fight oat into the light before the big Jury, and so I didn't. Here I can fight the same fight before the eyes ef all men. It's fun to be out In the air and the sunlight." Corporatlona aa Joy Riders. Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey is not only a forceful and con vincing public spenker. but he fre quently uses comparisons and anec dotes of a decidedly original and of ten distinctly humorous nature. In a recent address the governor aptly il lustrated the difference between "good" corporations and ''bud" cor porations, as follows: "I have no objection to the or dinary automobile properly handled by a man of conscience who Is also a gentleman. Many of the people 1 Bee handling automobiles handle them as If they had neither conscience nor manners. I have no objections to the ice and beauty and power of the au tomobile. I am interested, however, in . the slse and conscience of the men who handle them, and what I object . to is that some of these corporation men are taking Joy rides in their cor- , poratlons.' "You know what men do when they take a Joy ride. They sometimes have ; the time of their lives and sometimes, fortunately, the last time of their lives. ' Now these wretched things are taking Joy rides In which they don't kill the people that are riding In them, but they kill the people they run over." Our Greet National Change. Every thinking man recognizes the fact that conditions of life In the Unit ed States have altered materially with in the memory of men still young. . But not every statesman has been able ' to express his appreciation of these great changes' as clearly and concise ly as did Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey In. a recent address. Governor Wilson said: "Now, I take leave to beleve there Is one singular question that underlies all the other questions that are dls tussed on' the 'political platform at the present moment. Thnt singular cir cumstance is that nothing Is done In this country ns it was done twenty years ago. The old party platforms of twenty years ago read now like docu ments taken out of a forgotten age. We are In the presence of a new or ganization of society. We are eagerly bent on fitting thnt new organization, as we did once lit the old organiza tion, to the happiness and prosperity of the great body of citizens, for we are conscious that that order of society toes not fit and provide the conven ience or happiness or prosperity of the averse man." GOV. WILSON SPEAKING. The Man In Whom Many See a Future President of U. 3. w til, ..... .... J 1911, by American Press Association. GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE. All Progreeeive Reforms Have That For Their Object, 8aya Wilson. Discussing the progressive move ment In politics. Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey said recently: "If you will look at the 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 question 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 tho 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 equnllzntjon of taxation means thnt 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 mnde upon the vir tue of the people. "Every direction you turn you will gee 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 cnmpalgn which has such objects?" THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT. It Is Pervading the Whola Country, De clares Woodrow Wileon. How widespread Is the progressive movement In American politics was eloquently expressed by Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in a recent speech. The governor said: "It does uot require any great Imag ination to think that ' high thoughts and purposes In politics1' are running subtly through every household and every member of every household In this country, it does not need that you should touch elbows actually touch elbows with men in the street and men in the shop in order to know the great Issues of bunion happiness thnt are involved in a great contest like this, for the question of the tariff Is not a mere question of policy. It is n question of the rearrangement of the public interests as you touch every household in this country, and bow any man in such circumstances can bold his head up after he has voted for a special interest without a Just con ception of the common Interests I fur one cannot comprehend. . "But whether men can comprehend it or not help It or not.' we all know that the 'mills of the gods grind slow ly,' and they 'grind exceedingly fine.' and the men who now resist this great impulse of reform, the men who Impede this great compulsion of pub lic interest Will be ground so flrje in some of these mills of the gods that their very dust will be imperceptible.", I am accused of being a. radi cal. If to seek to go to the root is a radical, a radical I am. Aft er alt, everything that flowers in beauty in the air of heaven draws its fairness, ;- Its "vigor. ' from its roots. . Nothing living can blossom Into fruitage unless through nourishing stalks deep planted In the common soil. Up from that soil, up from the silent bosom of the earth; rise the cur rents of life and energy. Up from the common soil, up from the quiet heart of the. people, rise joyously today streams of hope and determination bound to renew the face of the earth in glory. . I tell you the so called radical Ism of our times is simply the ef fort of nature to release the gen erous energies of our people. This great American people Is at bottom Just, virtuous and hope ful. The roots of its being are in the soil of what is lovely, pure and of good report, and the need of the hour Is Just that radical ism that will clear a way for the realization of the aspirations of a sturdy race.

THE SEASON OPENS WITH GREAT GAME SALEM WIX8 FIRST BLOOD OF THE SEASON IX A TE-IXIXG GAME THAT WAS FIXE BALL FROM START TO FINISH. In a hard fought, 10-lnnlng contest between evenly matched teams, the Salem team of the Willamette Valley league won the opening game of the season by defeating the Dlllworth Derbies of Portland by a score of 5 to 4, before a crowd of 500 enthusi astic spectators, at the new grounds, Twenty-fifth and 8tate streets, yes terday afternoon. Both pitchers were in fine form and at the end of the ninth Inning neither team had anything on the other, the score standing 4 to 4. The day was an Ideal one for base ball and the grounds were in good shape. The Salem Military band ren dered excellent music for an hour preceding the game. At 3:10 Umpire Meehan stepped up before the grandstand and announced the batteries for the opening game. They were: Allegaert and Mosefor Salem, and Moreland and Gaines for Portland. Preliminary practice was stopped, the field was cleared and Umpire Meehan, in even tones sang out "Play Ball." Salem's baseball season for 1911 had opened, and un der exceptional favorable circum stances. The first man to the bat was Taus cher for the Derbies. He sent a good luck liner to center and safely made first base. Keys followed with a long one to right field and Tauscher went to second. In sliding to second within two minutes after Ihe game opened, Tau scher sprained his right ankle, but remained in the game. McKInleyand McKeen struck out Yates flew to right, and Yett sent a mild one to short and was out at first. Tauscher, Keys, Gaines and Schockner made the four runs for the Derbies in the first Inning and the Portland boys did not score again during the remainder of the game. First inning for Salem: Colbath flew to right and was out at first; Porterfield and McRay struck out Second for Portland: Moreland sent a drive to right and was caught at first; Tauscher struck out; Keys sent a drive to center, made first, hut was put out at second. Second for Salem: Jones sent a two-bagger to right; West followed with another to left. This brought the grandstand to their feet. Hum phreys sent a two-bagger to Center; Jones and West scoring; Cernlk and Mose struck out; Allegaert put a short one to left field and 'was caught at first Third for Portland: Schockner and Gaines struck out; McKInley flew to center, out at first In this inning Tauscher proved speedy of foot and made a beautiful catch of a fast drive to left, bringing the crowd again to Its feet. Neither team scored in the third Inning. Umpire Meehan's o clslon in this inning in calling Por terfield out at first brought some complaint from the crowd. No score for Portland In the fourth. Fourth for Salem: Allegaert sent a hard drive to left field, Colbath fol lowed with another to left bringing Allegaert home and causing the crowd to go wild. Porterfield to first and Colbath scored. No scoring on either side until the last half of the 10th when West sent a hard one to left field and MoRay came home, scoring the winning run for the Salem team. . ' Time of game: One hour and 60 minutes. Umpire, Meehan. " The general opinion was that Urn plre Meehan umpired a square and impartial game and proved himself to be wide awake and right on the Job at air times. , Manager Arch Jerman of the local team, deserves credit for the good work he accomplished Saturday, af ter spending all day on the grounds, in getting them into fine shape for the opening game. The street car company came through In good shape with two big double-deck trailers and an "engine' to handle the crowd. This combina tion handled the bulk of the crowd in one trp when the game was ended. Calef Bros, team of Portland will play the Salem boys on the new grounds here next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

' i LACK OF SAND DELAYS WORK ON COMMERCIAL Contractor Kehrberger stopped work on the South Commercial street pavement Friday on account of high water cutting off the supply of sand for the concrete' work. Sand for this work is being ' taken' from ' a point, about six miles below the city where there Is a bar of clean sand. The street is being finished with three grades of crushed rock instead of crushed gravel as was used on the west side of the street and all the material being put in Is first class. Inspector Welch for the city engi neering Job seems to be a man for the place. He is young, energetic and attentive to the 'character of the ma terial and the way It is put together and put down. The street would have been finished by this time If the water had : not Interfered. "It would seem as though with plenty of unemployed teams there could be five or 10 yards of sand hauled out of the river ahead of the demand of the hour. It is poor facilities for getting material that delay ouV street work so much," said a Salem contractor, In commenting on this condition today, o If the pestiferous reformers insist upon holding Investigations It will scarcely be worth while in the fu ture for an honest man to buy a senatorshlp.
