called the big stick methods of Theodore Theodare Theo Theo- Theodore dore dare Roosevelt Mr Roosevelt wielded wield wield- ed his big stick at a distance and got results Mr Wilson Is taking the schoolmasters schoolmaster's way of close contact with his pupils and Is using the birch rod in the privacy of the capitol lecture lecture lecture lec lec- ture rooms Perhaps It Is too rough a way yay to put It to say that the birch rod Is being used for from all reports it t would seem that the kindly persuasive method method meth meth- od has been adopted by the president He lectures a bit It Is said and his theme Is The Duty to Ones One's Country although the theme has occasionally varied to The Th Duty to Ones One's Party arty Presidents President's nt's Co Course Approved It Is known in Washington that Mr Wilson Is getting hundreds of letters daily dally from all parts of the country upholding upholding upholding up up- holding his course of contact with the senators and representatives In Inthe Inthe Inthe the last ten years It has become apparent apparent apparent ap ap- ap- ap parent in Washington from the letters which have been received at the White House and at the capitol that the ordinary American citizen has come to believe that congress the senate senate senate sen sen- ate particularly has been a law unto itself rather than a law raw unto the country When Roosevelt rebuked congress and an attempt was made to to rebuke him in return the White House received ten letters on oD commendation for its course to every everyone one received by the house of

independence to change the present course of conservation endeavor endeavor en deavor and to do some other things of ot high moment On every everyone one of these things Mr Wilson has said something and It Is therefore t taken ken for granted here th that t he Intends to say a good deal more when the proper time comes for the consideration of each piece of legislation He will wilt send messages certainly on currency reform because he has said so and probably on the tho other subjects These messages it is not believed he will read In person but It Is thought that he will go to the capitol after bills have been prepared on on each subject and sent to the proper proper- committees and that ho he will give to the Democratic Democratic Demo Democratic cratic majority of each committee at close range his views of oCr what form the bills should take wh when n presented to house and senate for majority consideration con con- Will Cut Expenses Men close to the administration hint that the president wishes to have his administration go go down into history as one which accomplished accomplished accomplished an actual saving to the government of a year It was the desire of Mr Wilsons Wilson's predecessor predecessor precis cessor In office that history should record re record record re re- cord a saving of this amount to his administration but Mr Taft did not succeed in doing any more than building build lag ing and starting the machine which may turn out this big piece of econ econ- omy amy Historians therefore may give Mr Wilson the credit for accomplishment accomplish ment went but give Mr Taft the credit for making accomplishment possible and writers of records may go back fUrther further fur fUr- further ther Into history and give Theodore Roosevelt a part of off the Initial credit During the last three administrations there were efforts at economy Mr Roosevelt started what was called called called call call- ed the Keep commission which concerned concerned con
