'^'''{ r gßKjb W• V’'■>:?/ |» | ;;v' •; - Th# visit of President Wilson to Detroit, Monday, to address ths World's Salesmanship congress was his first since selection as the head of the nation, and he was everywhere greeted with great enthusiasm, Mrs. Wilson, bride of only s few months coming In for almost as much attention as the executive. The pictures show the crowds surrounding ths presidential carriage at the Michigan Central depot. The president Is standing, smiling in response to the plaudits of the crowd. SAYS U. S. HAS TOO MUCH “PEP” »y Senator Lafayette Young, Editor Des Moines Capital. Uncle Sam'a princ'pal reputation is as a farmer and the careless user of language. Hut he can be a worlds power, a>> a manufacturer nn«l ship per, If he will be energetic and care ful. Uncle Sam’s domain is so big that It ought to bo an inspiration to every salesman he sends abroad. 8o;ne of his salesmen are accused of being swollen with pride, to such an ex tent that they refuse to ask a cus tomer what he wants, pref* rring to tell him what he ought to have This same pride causes him to think that his language is universal and that his customer Is a blockhead for not understanding it. Instead of lieing polite and atGunptmg to acquire the other man’s language.*he tries to substitute his own. This is due to too much American blood pressure. Uncle Sam has been selling goods In other lands and delivering the tame by means of ships belonging to hla principal competitors. His American goods are sent out In Brit ish, German. French or Japanese bottoms. He must ask his principal competitors to furnish the delivery wagons. Suppose Hugh t’halniers and myself owned the only two hotels in Detroit Buppo«e we were competitors in securing guests for our hotels. Suppose I owned the only bus line by which Hi gh dial* mer’s passengers rnuct he oellvered, as well as my own. how many guests would Hugh Chalmers have in his hotel until after I knew that all the beds In my hotel were filled? Uncle Bam Is Just in that fix. when he engages in shipping to for eign countries. His competitors own the only omnibuses. They will de liver his goods after they have !

Uncle Sam blusters anil declares he pays the biggest wages in the world and he does, hut he must have men of genius to make patterns and plans, and he must have the ma chines to turn out the product or else he will no* be able to competa with those parts of the world where farm laborers can not earn |4O per month. Uncle Bam as a salesman Is full of steam and energy and he will talk about the old star spangled banner and the glories of the republic, but he must get his feet down on the earth when he undrrtAkes to com pete with other countries. He must have hanks through which to handle his money in Bouth America, in China and Japan. He must have every facility which every other country has as to steamships. He must learn not to tell the man in sum** ether country that hi. 1 clothes do not fit him; but he must assure hint that he has the finest tailor on earth He is not out in the world to reform th*» dress of men and women r.or to brag about the re public. He is out to sell goods. Uncle San. has rupplanted the pound with the dollar as the com mercial yardstick, but he ought to be well enough satisfied with that not to say much about It And If Europe wants to set the hands of the clock forward or hack, to get more da> light and to cut down the gns bill, Uncle Sam ought to let It go at that This is the only land and Uncle Sam ought to ho the only salesman. Out of the Moutha of Babe*. Small Nellie had been to an “Un cle Tom’s Cabin” matinee. After the show was over she said: "Mamma, does little Eva play again tonight?" "Yea, dear, I suppose so,” replied the mother. "Well.” continued Nellie, After a moment’s thought, "I don't see how she can die and go to heaven at 4 o'clock and get back in time to die again at 8.” Mrs . Wilson Smiles Sweetly , But Will Not Talk tor Publication Although many hundreds of wom en pressed their way through the crowded avenue leading to the De troit Athletic club, only a mere handful managed to shAke hands with the president, as policemen and club attaches would not nllow any women to enter the lobby of the club, where the reception was held. How the stray women managed to elude this combined vigilance was a mystery If a triumph. Mrs. Wilson was taken Immedi ately upstairs in the club, to the I palm room, it having been decided that the first fady of the land should not be subjected to the strenuous handshaking of a public reception on so warm a morning. Mrs, Wilson, In a filmy white gown, her smooth dark hair topped by a broad-brimmed white hat from beneath which her brown eyes sparkled, was as cool and fresh looking as a white rose in a June garden. She sat in the palm room, attended by a secret service officer, and chatted informally with the fol lowing women of the reception com mittee: Mrs. Xorval A. Hawkins, Mrs. Harry W. Ford. Mrs. well, Mrs. (’harles H. Warren, Mrs. H. Wlbirt Spence, Mrs. C’Hrl M. Green, Mrs. D. M. Harrett. Mrs. Hen G. V’ernor, Mrs. W. F. McGuire, Mrs. Henry Ford, Mrs. Gilbert W. lA>e. Mrs. Alfred J.

Nothing In the DETROIT TIMES business or editorial departments the ran cannot shine upon DETROIT TIMES lic reception to President Wilson in the lobby. Mrs. Wilson deprecatlngly but firmly refused to be Interviewed, and while expressing herself charmed to meet newspaperfolk In general, she sweetly and smilingly affirmed that she never talked for publication. At the luncheon in the club gym nasium a special table was placed. Just beneath where the president sat, for Mrs. Wilson and the ladies of the committee. This table prettily decorated with bachelor buttons, red roses and white phlox. While Mrs. Wilson sat in the palm room, little Miss Jessie Nixon, daughter of Manager Nixon, of the club, shyly found her way across the room to present a bouquet of Mowers to the president’s wife. Mrs Wilson accepted the flowers with gracious thanks and smiled as the little girl curtsied. Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by the reception committee, heard the president's speech In Arcadia hall from a reserved section in the audi ence. Later she was driven hack to the Detroit Athlptic club for th r reception and luncheon. Mrs. Wilson is more attractive than her pictures and is blessed with a simple, unaffected manner.
