The True Story of Woodrow Wilson By DAVID LAWRENCE. CHAPTER II Woodrow Wilson's Relations With Grover Cleveland—Hix Bitterest Fight in Princeton. Turning back to those cdllege days where, as a’student and & newspaper correspondent representing the Asso- ciated Press, the author came in con- stant contact with Woodrow Wilson, lecturer on constitutional government and president of Princeton University, there were unmistakable signs of the Dower of a great intellect bursting With a desire to break the fetters of convention and profect itself into the ] controversies of the hour. As If with peculiar anticipation of later- day events, the thesis which Wood- row Wilson had written when he re- ceived his degree of doctor of laws was a book on “Congressional Gov- ernment,” supplemented later by other work on “The State,” both of which have been the standard text- books of many college courses. His inaugural address th 1902 as President of Princton University was & curlous counterpart of subsequent appeals for service to humanity—he asked that Princeton dedicate itself to the nation’s service. He was beginning to think more of a broader sphere of usefulness than the narrow contines of academic research. Him- self ble person, popular with ussmates as a student, and ¢ highly respected as @ pro- sor and lecturer, Mr. Wilson veercd constantly to the serious side of edu- cational matters. His dissent with the modern college method was that it prolonged to an extent the era of bovhood and did not always begin soon enough the earnest teachings of manhood. . @ Seen on Princeton Camipus. T can see him walking slowly across the campus of Princeton attired in academic gown, meditating as he walked, that autumn day of 1907, his eves on the gravel path that led to- ward Nassau Hall, where the formal exercises opening the university for the year were to be held. Suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, freshman fleeing from the clutches of a sopho- more, who was pursuing him, collidad , head on with the university president 4 just as he was crossing in front of Marquand Chapel. “I should think,” he burst forth angrily, “that you would respect this sacred place and perform vour pranks elsewhere.” . Not long afterward Dr. Wilson, as he was then called, proposed that this mild form of hazing or “horsing” freshmen (a name - derived from “horse play”) should cease. It did not. Student opinton brought about some modifications, but not until after Dr. Wilson had resigned was the cus- tom abolished altogether. It was during Woodrow Wilson's days as a student, forty-fiva vears ago, that Greek letter societies were forbidden at Princeton. Dining clubs in luxurious buildings came as a sub- stitute, but only members of the two upper classes were eligible. Wood- row Wilson's aspiration for a more serlous application of students to the teachings of their elders turned him toward an analysis of the social system in Princeton. He argued that all classes, young and old, should J mingle and that the influence of the tutors should be constant. Prince- ton had accepted with enthusiasm hi reform, known as the preceptorial Eysten, whereby students were divided into groups of a half dozen members and given at least an hout ) a week of intimate study with a pro- fessor or preceptor in each course. b But when Mr. Wilson proposed that the social life of the university be altered and that the Oxford “quad” system be instituted, the whole student body to be divided into a few units and each unit consisting of an equal number from the four classes, he encountered a stubborn resistance. Bitter in Factional Fight. The board of trustees gt first gave their tentative approval but subse- quently held the matter in abeyance to canvass alumni sentiment. From that moment on it seemed as if Woodrow Wilson had found a greater opportunity than had been vouchsafed him thereto- fore. He made speeches to the students and before alumni bodies outside of Princeton and before audiences of va- rious kinds throughout the United States discussing the needs of higher education with all the fervor that was later his in political life. He assailed what ho called the “side shows” in the colleges and cried out that they were swallowing up the “main tent.” He gave no quarter after that. He drew ¥ away from those who opposed him. Factlons developed not only in the fac- ulty but in the alumni assoclations of Princeton throughout the country. 1n and around New York city lived a Jarge number of influential alumni who had contributed by gift quite liberally to the support of Princeton University. Dr. ‘Wilson accused them of *‘proprietory SPECIAL NOTICES. inclinations” and of wanting to impair the natural democracy of Princeton. He saw what in politics might have been called the “vested interests” crushing out those who would invade exclusive- ness. Enmitles developed which to his dying day were not forgotten. Liked Old World System. One might have imagined from a reading of the diatribes of both sides unlike other colleges, yet, indeed, it had a soclal stem admittedly more ad- vanced than some of its rivals with the Greek-letter fraternities. Dr. Wilson's ambition nevertheless was to make of Princeton an institution rivalthg the universities of the old world. To him Oxford and Cambridge were productive of more serious-minded students. He Saw no objection in creating artificial social units. To him a college was not a social club but a place for earnest study with the social side an incidental consideration. To bring teacher and student into social relationship was his aim, but the American youth, his op- ponents said, wanted to choose his own soclal companions and did not relish the constant presence of his masters. So the battle raged. when on top of it all there suddenly broke out another controversy. Princeton had always wanted a greater graduate school. Two | Andrew F. West, providing for the buflding of a college about a mile away from the university and subject to a separate administration, and the other by Dr. Wilson whereby the Graduate College would remain an integral part of the university itself. The bitterness of the “Quad” dis- pute persisted and almost the same lings of cleavage developed in the faculty and the alumni and the board of trustees. Grover Cleveland had been elected a member of the board of | trustees shortly after he took up his residence in Princeton. Dean Andrew F. instrumental in bringing Mr. Cleveland to live In Princeton. They were fast friends. As mext door neighbors they saw a good deal of each other. Dean West was Dr. Wilson's principal op- ponent. Grover Cleveland imbibed many of Dean West's ideas: in fact, Mr. Cleveland was a member of the special committee of the board of trustees charged with the problem of planning a greater Graduate School. Woodrow Wilson as presiding officer of the board of trustees had occasion more than once to clash with Mr. Cleveland. Attacked by Grover Cleveland. At one historic meeting Mr. Clev land delivered a bitter attack on Dr. Wilson’s proposals. Dr. Wilson stood for a minute with flashing eyes but controlled the temper within him. “You will live to regret what you have said,” he remarked bluntly and turned to the discussion of other mat- ters. When Grover Cleveland died, in the summer of 1903, Woodrow Wilson was in Europe on a bicycling trip through England and Scotland. On his return in the autumn there was a noticeable omission of any reference fn Dr. Wil- son's speech at the opening of the uni- versity to the death of Grover Cleve- land. Nor did he order memorial ex- ercises. It caused talk. It was charac- teristic of Woodrow Wilson. He lav- ished -no praise where at heart he felt he could sincerely give none. He rare- Iy it ever mentioned Grover Cleveland in public addresses. Although Mr. Cleveland was the last President of the United States who had been elected on the democratic ticket, and although the latter retained a large measure of popu- larity with the democrats of the na- tlon, Woodrow Wilson never sought to win the Cleveland democrats as a lega~ tee of Princeton affiliations. Only once did Woodrow Wilson fear that his relationship with Grover Cleveland might work to his disadvan- tage politically. Grover Cleveland had written a letter to Dr. Henry Van Dyke, then ‘professor of English literature in Princeton University, denouncing Dr. Wilson and calling him & man of “an ungovernable temper.” The republican strategists in 1912 tried hard to get pos- session of that letter, hoping to have it published so as to wean away the Cleveland_followers in the democratic party and as an index to the Wilson character. Dr. Henry Van Dyke never gave up the letter. Woodrow Wilson and Dr. Henry Van Dyke had had some differ- ences of opinion on the graduate school question, but Dr. Van Dvke refused to be a party in Gov. Wilson's pouatical downfall On the contrary, he was one come out in support of Gov. Wilsun's candldacy for the presidency of the United States. Woodrow Wilson never forgot that. He later chose Henry Van Dyke to be minister of the United States to the Netherlands, a post at which he acquitted himself with par- ticular skill in the trying days of neu- trality from 1914 to 1917.

OP WATER. , WAITS TOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES FOR HIS DINNE District Citizens Are Heavy Contributors of National Taxes Washington Pays Larger Share of Fed- eral Expenses Than (From the argument of Theodore W Noyes before the joint select commit- tee af Congress on the fiscal relations between the District of Columbia and the federal government, October 1815.) It appears from this table (showing the relations of the nations of the world to their capitals) that the peo- ple of every capital, including Wash- ington, pay national taxes, just as the people of the other cities do, and that nearly all nations, including the United States, are liberal in the ex- penditure of this national money on national objects at the national capi- tal. Some nations have been con- | spicuously lavish in such patriotic | expenditures. Among these nations jare Argentina, Brazil and France, which have far surpassed the United States in this respect. Most nations have been consistently liberal in the development of their capitals. Prior {to 1878 the United States was, how- ever, far from liberal in such outlays. The fact that the people of the Dis- j trict of Columbia contribute on equal terms with the people of the States toward all national taxes and that it is their money as much as the money of the people of any state which is spent in national development of the nation's city and in the development of unnavigable creeks into nominally navigable rivers in the states is often overlooked. It is sometimes said that the people’ of the states contribute about 7 cents apiece annually for National Capital maintenance and de- velopment, and that for the same pur- pose the Washingtonians contribute about $18 apiece annually. It is to be remembered that the Washing- tonian contributes on both sides of the account. He contributes as much as any other American toward the national city development (7 cents) and the $18°in addition. Proper National Outlay. The expenditure of national money for the development of the National Capital is recognized as a proper na- tional outlay everywhere in the world. There has been controversy | over the propriety of many forms of national appropriations, as, for in- stance, those for internal improve- ments, roads, canals, etc., but no one has ever contended that the capital of a nation is not a proper object of the nation’s fostering care. The Washingtonian not only con- tributes toward all national taxes, but by reason of the location of his city and its_conditions he pays heavily. In a House debate in the last Con- gress a table was submitted, receiving serious conslderation, which distrib- uted the $6,000,000 paid the year be- fore by the nation for capital main- tenance among the states according to population and credited each state as contributing approximately _that amount toward the expenses of the District. Of course no such contribu- tion is actually made. The different congressional constituencies from the different states contributed to the na- tional taxes in widely varying amounts. Many constituencies do not contribute as_much to the national taxes as the District itself does, and many of them contribute only a small fraction of that amount. If the graduated income tax on individuals displaces the other national taxes and it comes to pass that the only na- tional taxpayers are the less than half a million_income-boasting citi- zens out of 95,000,000 or 100,000,000 of Americans it will be still more difficult to trace a specific contribu- tion in national taxes for the benefit of the National Capital “mendicant” to the congressman's alleged indig- nant and protesting constituent. ‘What Washingtonians Pay. The only national taxes that fall directly and unmistakably and in as- certainable amounts upon Americans are the internal revenue taxes, in- cluding the excise, corporation and individual income taxes. Washington exceeds in total contribution in 1914 to these national taxes Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Dela~ ware, Georgla, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Mississippl, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Da- kota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Caro- lina,’ South Dakota, Utah, Vermont and’ Wyoming, twenty-two states, and Alaska and Hawall, two terri- tories. Twenty-six states were larger dontributors. The Washingtonian's per capita contribution to these national taxes exceeds the per capita of all of the above list.of twenty-two states and two territories, and exceeds in ad- dition. the per_capita contribution of Connecticut, Florida, Towa, Louisi- ana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minne- sots, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Ten- nessee, Texas, Washington and West Virginia. Thus thirty-six states and two territories contribute & smaller per capita than Washington, and only twelve states show a larger per { capita contribution. One Washingtonian pays more in this kind of national taxes than one Mississippian, one Arkansan, —one orth Dakotan, one Oklzhomite, one South Carolinian, .one.Alabaman, one Many States. Idahoite, one Georgian, one ew Mex- ican, one South Dakotan, one Kansan, one Vermonter and one Texan com- bined. thirteen state-representing Americans _contributing altogether less than the per capita contributed by the Washingtonian alone. The Washingtonian contributes to these national taxes fifty-one times as much as the Mississippian, twenty- two times as much as the North Da- kotan, about eighteen times as much as the South Carolinian and Ala- baman, about fourteen times as much as the Georgian and South Dakotan, about twelve times as much as the Kansan, over eight and one-half times as much as the Vermonter and over seven and one-half times as much as the Texan, He contributes somewhat more than the citizen of Louisiana, Michigan, Delaware and Massachusetts, and somewhat less than the citizen of Vir- ginia, Missouri, Pennsylvania and California. In the Matter of Mendicancy. ‘The figures above given concerning national taxation throw light upon the question whether the average congressman's average constituent is really robbed, as so often alleged, to ease the tax burden of the mendicants residing in the District o8 Columbia, and are a fair offset to the statistical table, which brings home to each citi- zen of a state a specific donation of beggar's alms to the Capital. It appears that the contribution of such constituent to the national rev- enue is often Infinitesimal, and, in the cases cited, far exceeded by the con- tribution of the Washingtonian him- self. While the District has no repre- sentation in the national legislature, which is paid from and which dis- burses this national fund, its contri- bution exceeds the combined contri- butlons of Vermont, Mississippi, North Dakota. Nevada, Wyoming, ldaho, New Mexico, Arizona and South Da- kota, which cast eighteen votes in the Senate and twenty-two in the House. The Washingtonian pays into the fund from which are drawn the sal- aries of the South Dakotan's senators and representatives more than thir- teen times as much internal revenue taxation as the South Dakotan; to- ward the salary of the Kansas con- gressman, twelve times as much as the Kansan; for the Texan congress- man, seven times as much as the Texan; for the Vermont congressman, eight times as much as the Ver- monter; for the congressman from South Carolina, eighteen times as much as the South Carolinian; and for the Mississippl congressman, fifty- one times as much as the Mississip- pllhn. t not intended in presenting TO COOL, AND CAUTIOUSLY RE - SUMES EATING these figures to suggest that the states or citizens contributing the most per capita to the internal rev- enue tax or other national taxes should on that account have any weightier voting power in respect to the disposition of the national rev- cnues than those states and those citizens whose contributions to the national ~taxes are, comparatively |speaking, infinitesimal, and it is not intended to discredit in any way the small contributors to the national taxes or even to argue in denial of the latter's claim that it is more vir- tuous not to contribute than to con- tribute to internal revenue taxes de- rived so largely from whisky, beer and tobacco. The sole purpose s to convince the representatives of small- contributing _constituencies in the states that they should not berate their National ~Capital constituents (whose legislative interests are in- trusted to their care by the Constitu- tion), on the ground that the latter are untaxed mendicants supported by |the tax money unjustly drawn from their local constituents; first, because in €0 many cases these contributions by their constituents to the national taxes are {nfinitesimal, far less than those made by the District itself; sec- ond, because the District, instead of being untaxed, is reasonably, and, owing to the peculiar local conditions, even heavily taxed both in municipai and in national taxation. The Largest Contributors, In developing the nation's city the Washingtonians are by far the largest contributors among Americans. They contribute on both the local and the national side of the account. They D. -C, .

Department show that there was paid by the citizens of the District to the federal government by way of inter- nal fevenue, customs and miscellane- ous payments for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1916, the sum of $1,506, 698.27, which was greater than simi- lar faxes pald to the government by any one of twenty states of the Union. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, the same records disclose the fact that the citizens of the District paid to the federal government through the same sources the sum of $2,666,204.40, which was greater than similar payments made by any one of nineteen states of the Union, includ- ing the great states of Georgia and Towa. It also appears that for this year the citizens of the District paid in federal taxes twice as nfuch as that paid by any one of fourteen states and four times as much as any one of eight states of the Union, i} For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, the same records disclose the fact’that the citizens of the Dis paid in federal taxes to the go ment through the same sources sum of $12,862,474.08, District’s National Taxes. The records for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1919, disclose that the citizens of the District paid to the government in satisfaction of like taxes the sum of $18,645,053, which was made up of $8,928,755.77 of income and excess profit taxes and $9,716,- 29820 miscellaneous taxes, Whic amount was greater than the aggre- gate of similar tuxes paid by the states of North Dakota, New Mex- ico, Nevada, Wyoming and Vermont combined.
