PICTURE OF HIMSELF AT NA
TIONAL PRESS CLUB.
POSE OF DIGNITY IS IRKSOME
Chief Executive Tells Newepaper Men
of Washington How Difficult It la
for Him to ImaglneHlmself
Head of the Nation.
Washington, D. C. March 23. Tell
ing them In a frank, conversational way
how ho felt as president of tho United
States, Woodrow Wilson unbosomed
himself to the members of the; Na
tional Press club nt Washington Fri
day. Ho told how difficult It was for
him to Imagine himself as the chief
executive, with the formal amenities
of the position,' and how ho had strug
gled to be as free asthe ordinary In
dividual without the restraints ot his
office.
it was an intimate picture or Wood
row Wilson tho man drawn by him
self, on tho occasion of the "house
warming" at tho Press club's new
quarters.
Tho president did not Intend to
have his remarks reported, but later,
at the request of the club, the speech
was made public. .
Wilson, as He Sees Himself.
"I was Just thinking ot my sense of
confuBlon of Identity sometimes when
I read articles nbout myself," the
president said. "I have nover read
an article about myseir In which I
recognized myseir, and I have come to
have tho impression that I must be
some kind or a fraud, because I think
a great many or these articles are
written In absoluto good raith.
"I tromblo to think or tho variety
and falseness In the Impressions 1
make and It is being borne In on me
so that It may change my very dispo
sition that I am a cold and removed
person who has a thinking machine
Inside which ho adjusts to the cir
cumstances which he does not allow
to be moved by any winds of affec
tion or emotion of any kind but turns
like a cold searchlight on anything
that is prewented to his attention and
makes '., work.
Feels Responsibility Keenly.
"I am not aware of having any de
tachable apparatus inside of me. On
the contrary, if I were to Interpret my
self, I would say that my constant
embarrassment Is to retain the emo
tions that are inside of me.
"You may not believe It, but I some
times feel like a Are from a far from
extinct volcano, and. If the lava does
not seem to spill over it Is because
you aro not high enough to see into
tho busln and seo the caldron boil. Be
cause, truly, gentlemen, In tho posi
tion which I occupy thero is a sort of
1 do not know how else to express
It than to say passionate sense of
being connected with my fellow men
In a peculiar relationship of responsi
bility or office, but God knows there
aro enough things In this world that
need to be corrected.
Fear He'll Disappoint People.
"I have mixed first and last with
all sorts and conditions of men there
nro mighty few kindB of men that
have to be described to me, and there
are mighty few kinds of experiences
that have to be described to mt and
when I think of the number of men
who aro looking to me as the repre
sentative of a party, with tho hope
for all varieties of salvation from the
things they are struggling in the midst
or, It makes me tremble.
"It makes mo tremble not only with
a sense of my own Inadequacy and
weakness, but as If I were shaken by
the very things that are shaking
them, and If I seem circumspect It is
becauBo I am bo diligently trying not
to mako any colossal blunders.
"If you Just calculated" the number
of blunders a fellow can make In
24 hours U ho Is not cnrerul and If
he does not listen moro than, he talks,
you would see something 6f tho reel
ing that I have.
Always Eager to Get Advice.
" was amused the other day at a
remark that Senator Newlands made.
I had read him tho trust message that
I was to deliver to congress Bome ten
days before I delivered It, ond I never
stop 'doctoring' things of that kind
until tho day I have to deliver them.
"When ho heard It read to congress
ho said; 'I think It waB better 'than
it was when you read It to me.' I said:
'Senator, there Is ono thing which I do
not think you understand. I not only
ubo nil the brains I have, but all I can
borrow, aud I have borrowed a lot
sinco I read It to you first.'
Often Feels He's Masquerading.
"1 really feel sometimes as ir I were
mnsquerndlng when I catch a picture
or myBoir In some printed description.
"In between things that 1 have to do
as a public officer I never think or my
self as tho president of tho United
States, because I never have had any

senBO of being Identified with that
office.
"I feel like n person nppolntcd for
a certain length of tlmo to administer
that office, and I feel JUBt as much out'
Bide of It at this moment as I did be
fore I wns elected to It. I feel Just as
much outBldo of It as I still feel out
side of tho government of tho United
States.
"No man could Imagine himself tho
government of the United States; but
ho could understand that some part
of his fellow citizens had told him to
go und run a certain part of It tho best
hf know how.
"That would not mako him tho gov
ernment itself or tho thing itseir. It
would Just make him responsible for
running It the best ho know how.
Office So Great; Man So Small.
"Tho machine is so much greater
than himself, tho office is so much
greater than himself; tho offlco Is so
much greater than he can over be, and
tho most ho can do Is to look grave
enough and self-possesBed enough to
seem to fill It.
"I con hnrdly refrain every now and
again from tipping tho public the
wink, as much as to say, 'It 1b only
me that is Inside this thing. I know
thnt 1 will have to get out presently.
I know that then I will look Just my
own proper size, and that for the time
being tho proportions aro somewhat
refracted and misrepresented to tho
eyo by the largo thing I am Insldo of,
from which I am tipping you this
wink.'
"For example, take matters of this
sort. I will not say whether it Is wIbo
or unwise; simple or grave, but cer
tain precedents havo been established
that In certain companies the presi
dent must leave tho room first and
people must give way to him. They
must not sit down if he is standing up.
Finds Customs Embarrassing.
"It Is a very uncomfortable thing to
havo to think of all tho other people
every time I got up and sit down, and"
all that sort of thing. So when I get
guests In my own houso and tho pub
He is shut out, I adjourn being pres
ident and take leave to be a gentle
man. If they draw back and Insist
upon my doing something first I firm
ly decline.
"There are blessed intervals when 1
forget by one meanB or another that
I am president of tho United States.
One means by which I forget is to get
a rattling good detective story, got
after some imaginary offender, and
chase him nil over preferably any
continent but this because tho vari
ous parts of this continent are becom
ing painfully suggestive to mo.
"The postoffices and many other
things which stir reminiscences have
'sicklied them o'er with a pale cast
of thought.' There are postofflceo to
which I wouldn't think of mailing a
letter, which I can't think ot without
trembling with tho knowledge of the
heartburnings of the struggle there
was In connection with getting some
body installed as postmaster.
Knows Little of Capital Sights.
"Nowylf 1 were free, I would come
not Infrequently up to these rooms.
You know I never was in Washington
but a very few hours until I came last
year and I never expect to seo the
inside of the public buildings in Wash
ington until my term Is over.
"Tho minute I turn up anywhere,
I am personally conducted to beat the
band. The curator, nnd tho assistant
curators, and every other blooming of
ficial turns up, and they show me so
much attention that 1 don't see the
building. 1 would have to say, 'Stand
aside nnd let me see what you are
showing me.'
"Some day, after I am through with
this office, I am going to come back
to Washington and see' it In the
meantime, I am In tho same category
as the National museum, tho monu
ment, the Smithsonian Institution, or
the Congressional library, and every
thing that comes down here has to
be shown tho president.
"If I only know an exhibition ap
pearance to assume apparently other
appearances that do not show what Is
going on inside I would like to have
It pointed out, so that I could practise
It before tho looking glass and see If
I could not look Uko tho monument
"Being regarded as a national ex
hiblt, It would bo much simpler than
being shaken hands with by the whole
United States.
Plain Citizen, His Ambition.
"It would bo a great pleasure if, un
served and unattended, I could bo
knocked around as I have been accus
tomed to bo knocked around all my
lire; if 1 could resort to any delightful
quarter, to any place in Washington
that I chose. I navo sometimes
thought of going to some costumcr
some theatrical costumer and buying
an assortment of beards, rouge, color
ing, and nil the known means of dis
guising myself, If It were not against
the law. You Bee, 1 havo a scruple
as president against breaking the law
and disguising one's self is against
the law.
"But U I could diBgulse myself and
not get caught I would go out, be a
free American citizen onco more, and
havo a Jolly time. 1 might then meet
