He referred to the great trials through which
he has passed and is passing and declared he
had been kept awake nights considering the
European situation because there might come
a time when the United States would have to
do what it did not desire to do and "the great
I burden of my-spirits has been that it has been
up to me to choose when that time came.”
This is the first time the president has so
unburdened himself and it is easy to see from
his expressions, made in this .free and un-
hampered way, talking to a group of friends
at a time when it was fully understood that his
I remarks were not to be made public, what he
has endured all the while certain elements, not
I confined to his. enemies, at least open enemies,
have been going abroad throughout the land
cursing and condemning his every act, when
results'have already shown that his tactful and
patriotic handling of these mighty questions
has been for the best arid has so far kept this
country out of endangering wars.
It gives opportunity for the best study of the
greatness of the president yet afforded since j
his induction into office and will give to the
people a broader view of those great qualities
which have gone to direct him in his work of
giving the country the best administration it I
has ever enjoyed. I
It is often necessary in dealing with an
adversary that has an imperfect moral un-
derstanding to knock him down for the
sake of his soul. If a man will not listen
to you quietly in a seat, sit On his neck
and make him listen.

The human side of the president’s character
was to be seen throughout the course of his
remarks. His words did not sound like those
read in state papers, or in messages to con-
gress. The formality was missing. It was
just a talk between .man and man. He talked
of the difficulty of estimating popular senti-
ment, of knowing what the people want done.
He said:

the ignorant peons, who are led into assaults
upon American citizens and American prop-

prits, and they are not entitled to even the
dignity of a military death by shooting.
