Character Sketch of Mr.
Woodrow Wilson,
Below we give the conclusion of the character sketch of Mr. Woodrow Wilson contributed to the Daily News and Leader by. “A.G.C.," the first part of

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, MARCH 6,- 1919.
herolo declaration of war against the greatest money power onearth.
A Practical Visionary.
It is not an idle declaration, for he ia no demagogue. Mr. Roose valt raises clouds of dust; but it is the dust of the circus. It is the dust of a real battlefield_that Woodrow Wilson will raise. Like Rupert, he never rides but to
conquer or to fall. He is that rare
which appeared in yesterday's combination, a thinker who lovea "Telegraph "
It was on the eve of the Lynde of affairs, one who roads Greek Botion, a sokolar and a man debate, and all Princeton and writes shorthand, who com University was alive with anti- binos a laminous idealism with cipation. Not that there was the practicality of a plumber and any serious doubt as to who would win the coveted prize, for young Woodrow Wilson had established his reputation as the: first debater of the University, and bie victory was assured. But the
annny sails with a ruthless purpose. The glove is velvet, but the hand is iron. Hia courage mounts to any task; but he has a
crupulous tidinosain small things. When he has finished writing ho event was new, and the interest wipes his pan and puts the cloth in it had something of the attrac-back in the drawer. He has great tion of the ring of a bareball match. Each of two balle fur-energy; butitisnot the tumultuous enery of Mr Roosevelt. It is nished representatives for the disciplined." After all," ho aaye, competition, the choice boing de-Life dosn't consist in eternally termined by preliminary debate. The subject of this preliminary running to a fire," debate in Whig Holl was "Froo Trade v. Protection," and com: petitors were given their parts by lot.
The hat went round, and. Wilson took out a slip. It bore the word "Protection." tore up the paper and declined to debate. He was a keen Free
Ho
Trader, and not even as a mare dialectical exercise would be con- Bent to advance arguments in which he did not beliove, Robert Bridges therefore became Whig Hell's representative, and in the debate he was beaten by Halsey, the Clio's representative, who at tributed his victory to the fact. that the man who would have vanquished him was too soru- pulous to argue a caso against his own convictions.
The incident is typical of the man, whose dramatic emergence from a learned obscurity to the most powerful position in the world of affairs is not merely an event, but a portent. Dr. Wilson's earliest memory is of two men meeting on that great day fifty- two years ago on which Abraham Lincoln was elected President and hearing one say to the other," This means war." Since that day there has been no Presidential election so charged with significance as that of November last. It means that Amerios in "finding itest!" | -that it is emerging from the squalor into which its politics have fallen, There is hope for a people when it can distinguish true metal from falso. Dr. Wilson is the first great coin struck in the mint of American politics for half a century.
The Future.
And now having flashed his word on the field of New Jersey politics; Woodrow Wilson faces, the greatest problem of states- manship. that the world has to offer the problem of how to rescue government from the tyran-
He has, what Mr Chamberlain never had, what Mr Lloyd George, with all his fine intui- tions and democratic sympathies, has not a considered philosophy of politics. It is a philo oply warmed with a generous humanity and a sincero vision-
