Woodrow Wilson—
Most Blindly Idolized
:an& Cordially Hated
"
Washington.—After a few months’
t est, former President Wilson will take
up the business of literature where he
left oil when he became Governor of
New Jersey. He does not expect to
write a history of the peace conference.
, although he has in his. private papers
| the greatest fund of material in the
! world on the subject. He does expect
; to pursue bis ideals of world peace,
just in what manner probably no one
knows.
The second Democratic President
since Andrew Jackson to fill two sue
eessive terms, Mr. Wilson’s eight years
in the White House carried him
through the range of human emotions.
He was almost biindly idolized aud cor
dially hated. Profound peace, the most
terrible of wars, death of a wife aud
helpmate, courtship and marriage, and
finally Lingering illness came in turn to
darken or brighten his days. Eight
years of it w hitened his hair, racked
hisi.frame and impaired his physical
vigor, but did not rust his mind.
Woodrow Wilson was not a well man
when he took up the presidency. He
was decidedly a sick mam He was
threatened with Bright’s disease,
which physicians diagnosed as having
been brought about by a particular
treatment for head colds to wnich he
and the first Mrs. Wilson.were subject.
Somevyears before that he had suffered
a thrombosis, in one of bis legs. It was
the lodging of a blood clot io an artery,
butbeaause of its location, cot serious.
It was, however, a complaint of the
same nature which caused his break
down in 1919, when the clot formed on
the right side of his brain, impairing
the control of his left arm and leg.
Once in office, the found of complexi
ties which brought him praise on one
side and damnation on the other was
not long in starting, and like a snow
ball rolling dowm hill continued to take
on volume until the day of his retire
ment from office.
Once, in the midst of his seige of
.prostration which accompanied the
first stages of his present illness, he
debated with himself whether he ought
not to relinquish his office and give
way to a successor. Later when health
had improved and the Democratic con
vection at San Francisco was balloting
Notice of Forfeiture.
l'o George Twerme (George Moe),
Andy Schwarsdale, and Ralph Zaber:
You, aud each of you. your heirs and
assigns are herebv notified that during

night and day to agree on a presiden
tial nominee, lie debated with himseli
whether he should be a candidate for a
third term. It could not be said that
either subject reached the stage of
‘•being considered,” but it is known
that he gave the subject some thought.
These with many things form the
highly interesting unwritten chapters
of Wilson’s life. They would make a
volume of far more engrossing reading
than ary thing that was ever written
about him.
Such a volume might include the
'•inside’" story of his break with Col.
House, bis former confidential advisor.
It might tell how Mr. Wilson, rousing
Mr. Clemeneeau from bed at 2 o’clock
one morning, practically -charged the
French delegates with tampering with :
-the records of the peace conference
proceedings. ;
It might tell how Mr. Wilson-made
up his mind to “fire” some other Cab
inet officers soon after the resignation
of Secretary Lansing but desisted be
cause, he said, it would only add to the
popular impression that he “couldn’t
get along with anybody.”
It might also tell what Mr. Wilson I
“said with a smile” to -Lloyd George i
concerning the relative sixes and i
strengths of the British and American |
navies, and it might disclose that he
went to,the peace conference prepared
to withdraw, as he threatened to do, in
its midst.
Because of the secrecy which has
been thrown around his physical condi
tion, the country is probably most in
terested in that juet now. He is con
valescent—so far as nature permits—
from what medically is-ca!,ed 'throm
bosis. a blood clot in one of the arteries
on the right side of his brain, which
impairs the motor nerves in the left
arm and leg. He can walk short dis-;
tances alone with the aid of a cane.:
longer distances require the use of a
wheel chair. Kither walking up or
down stairs is a precarious experiment,
seldom attempted.
Mr. Wilson was not stricken on the
League of Nations speaking trip in the
west, as is popularly supposed, but
within a week after he returned home.
Signals of warning were what caused
h:6 return. !■ Tor three days n.'ter he
came back be seemed to be improving;
in fact he tool: a motor ride the day
before he was laid low, and on the
night before played billiards. The
seizure came in the night, at an hour
wnen he was-alone, and he was found
stricken just before davlight. For a
week his life was despaired of and his
real-condition was kept saeret by his
family. Then came a turn fer the bet
ter, and for many weeks the President
was confined to his bed—-jl bed in which
Abraham Lincoln before him probably
passed manv a night of pain and sleep
lessness of a different nature. Even
his barber was not admitted, and Mr.
Wilson, usually clean shaven, grew a
beard and made humoroits remarks- .■»£
he brushed it for .amusement several
timea a day.
