PRESIBENT WILSON (3 KEEPS PUBLIC IN TOUCH WITH ARFMRS! . William G. Shepherd, Pioneer Cor- ; respondent Completes Discovery at Washington. EUROPEAN RULERS DO NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK United States is the One Nation Where the Opinion of Citizens Count. (By William @. Shepherd.) (United Press Staff Correspondent) ‘Washington, Sept. 3.—It is here, &t the heart of the United States, |U that I completed the discovery of |§ America. The discovery had begun in: Europe where, in the war-ridden countries, I heard America praised and flattered and saw its good opin- ion sought by all the armies and chancellories. I had continued my discovery of America in the west and east -of the United States where I found Americans busy, happy, un- worried and confident. President is Greyer. And now in Washington I discover, |B at last, what makes the United States different from every other country in the world. President Wilson is greyer and thinner than he-was when I saw him as governor of New Jersey. year of war in Europe, and the other years of trouble in Mexico, have left their mark on him; there is the same old boyish winsomeness about his smile, but he doesn’t smile as often as he used to. ““What’s the difference between you, Mr. President of the United States, and the mighty masters of the war- ring countries of Burope?” is a " question you find yourself silently putting to him. President is After Best. The difference is that Woodrow Wilson—and any other man who might be in the president’s chair at this time would have to do the same thing—is constantly seeking to dis- cover what is best for the people of the United States and what they want him to do. But the rulers of the nations in Europe all are asking, “What shall I order the people to do for me?” You can stand on the White House lawn and see them going into the White House, the men and women from every corner of the United States of whom the president will ask in- terminable questions. It is little wonder he grows grey and a little thin. Of those who come from Eur- ope he will ask: Asks Many Questions. “What are the people of France thinking? What are the people of England thinking? What are the people of Germany thinking?” He doesn’t ask what armies are doing, or what governments are do- ing. The question is: ““What are the people thinking?” It is this same question he asks, ‘whenever the opportunity affords, in regard to the American people. But there is no ruler in Europe today ap- parently who cares what the people think, so long as they fight. And there is no country in Europe where it is safe for a man to say what he thinks, providing he thinks against his government. Newspapermen Know All About the White House you see newspapermen in throngs. They don’t see the president every day; it isn’t necessary. But they are in constant and daily touch with the president’s representatives. What the president does; what he thinks; what he’s trying to do—they know it all. This is not said to boost ‘Woodrow Wilson. Any man, in the president’s place, would have to do the same thing. This thing of any government keeping in touch with the public is one of the wonderful | points about the United States which you discover after you return from warring. Europe. > Appreciate: the Marvel. It doesn’t seem weonderful to Am- ericans. But after you’ve seen mil- lions of citizens of yarious nations of Europe marching to death, willy nilly, without being. consulted, with- out even being requested, only under orders, you begin to appreciate the marvel of there being: a nation on the earth. where the opinion of the people counts.
