~ WiT FEELS T TO BE PRESIDENT Woodt'ow Wilson Unbosoms Hmself to Mbhabers of the Washington Press Club in Remarkable Address. Washington, March 20. --Woodrow Wilson unbosoined 'himself to iem bers of the National Press club of Washington today, telling them in a frank, conversational way how he' felt as bresident of the United States, how - difficult it was for hit...o imagine himself as the chief executive 'with the formal amenities of the position, rnd how he had struggled to be as free as the ordinary ilidividual with out the restrairts of his office. It was an intimate picture of Wood row Wilson, the man, drawn by him self, on the occeslon of the "house warming" at the Press club's new quarters. The president did not intend to have his remarks reported, but later, at the request of the club, the unusual speech was made public. It follows: "I was just thinking of my sense of confusion of identity, sometimes, when I read articles about myself. I never have read an article about my self in which I recognized myself, and I have come to have the impression that I must be some kind of a fraud, because I think - a great many of these articles are written in absolute ly good faith. I tremble to think of the variety and falkeness in the im pression I make-and it is being borne in on me so that it may change my very disposition-that I am a cold and removed person who has a think ing machine inside which lie adjusts to the circumstances, which he does not allow to be moved by any winds of affection or emotion of any kind, but turns like a cold searchlight on anything that is presented to his at tention and makes it wrong. No Such Machine.0 "I aim not aware of having any de tachable apparatus inside of me. On the contrary, if I were to - interpret myself, I would say that my constant embarrassment is to restrain the emo tions that are inside of me. You may not believe it, but I sometimes feel like a far from extinct volcano, and if the lava does not seem to spill over it is because you are not high enough to see Into the basin and see the caldron boil. Because, truly, gentle men, in the position which I now oc cupy there is a sort of-I don't know how else to express it than to say passionate sense of being connected with my fellowmen in a peculiar re lationship of responsibility. Not mere ly the responsibility of office, but God knows there lre enough things in this world that need to be corrected. "I have mixed, first and last with all sorts and conditions of men-there are mighty few kinds of men that have to be described to me, and there -are mighty few kinds of experiences that have to be described to me and when I think of the number of men who are looking to me as the representative of a party, with*the hoio of a.; varieties of salvation from the things they are struggling in the midst of, it makes me tremble. It makes me tremble not only with a sense of my own inadequacy end weakness, but as if I were shaken by the very things that are shaking iheni, and if I seem circumspect, it is be cause I am so diligently trying not to niake any collossal blunders. If you just calculated the number of blunders a fellow can make in 21 hours if he is not careful and i lie does not listen more than he talks, you would see something of the feel ing that I have. Borrows From Others. "I was amused the other (lay at a remark that Senator Newlands made. I had read himi the trust message I was to deliveir to congress some 10 dlays befor'e [ delivered it, and I neveir stop 'doctoring" things of that kind until the day I have to deliver them, When lhe heard it read to congress ho said, "I think it was better than when you read it to me.' I said, 'Sen ator, there is one thing wvhich I dlon't think you understand. I not only use all the brains I have but all I can borrow, and I hlave bori'owed a lot since I read it to you first.' "That, I dare say, is wvhat gives thie impression of circumspectness. I am listening; I am trying diligently to collect all the brains that are bor rowable that I may not make mfor'e blunders than .it is inevitable that a man should make who has great lim itations of knowledge andl capacity. And the emotion of the thing is so great that I suplpose I must be soe kind of a mask to conceal it, I really feel sometimes as if I were mans * querading when I caich a ipictur ie of myself in. some pintedi description. In between thiings that I have to (10 as plublic oficer, I never think of- my self, as the prIesidenlt of the tinited( States, because I novel' 'have hlad any sense of being identified With that of fice, I feel like a per'sohn app~ointedl for a certain lenigthi of time to admiiitter' that ofmee, amnd I feel just as miuchi out side of it at this moment as I did befor'e I wvas elected to it, [ feel just as much outsidle of it as I still feel outside of the go~vernmenit of the United States. Only Riunniing a Part. "No man could imagine himself the government of the United States; hut lie could understand that some par't of his fellow citizens had told him to go and run a cer'tain par't of it the best'*he knew *how. That would not make him the governmeint itself or' the thigg itself. It would just make him responsible forn running it the best he Wnows how. The machine is so much greater than 'himself, tile of fice is so muchi greater' than himself.; ' the office is so much greater than lie can ever be, and the most he can do is to look grave enough and self possessed enough to seem to filli it. I can hardly refrain every now and( again from tipp~ing the public the wink, as much as to say, 'ft is only me that is inside tils thing, I know perfectly well that I will have to get .ont preently, I know that then I will -look just my own proper size( apid that foy -the time being the proper tions5 are seinewhat refracted and nis inepreuinted to the eye by the large thing I am inside of. from whiehb I am SHI tipping you this wink.' "For example, take matters of this sort: I will not say whether it is wise or unwise,.simple or grave, but certain precedents have been established that in certain companies the president must leave the room first and people must give way to him. They must not sit (own if he is standing up. It is a very uncomfortable thing to have to think of all the other people every time I get up and sit dowif, and all that sort, of thing. Eo that when I get mily guests in my house and the public is shut out, I adjourn being president and take leave to he a gen tlemnan. If they draw back and insist upon my doing something first, I firm ly decline. They are blessed intervals, when I lorget by one means or anoth er that I amil president of the t'nited States. Like Thief ('atching. "One neas by w hlh I forget is to get a raltinig good detective story, get after some imaginary offender, and chase him all over-preferably any continent but this, because the va rious party of this continent are be coinilg painfully suggestive to mte. The postofilces, and many other things which stir reminiscences have 'sicklied them o'er with a pale cast of thought.' "There are postofilces to which I would not think of mailing a letter, which 1 can't think of without trem hling with the knowledge of all the heartburnings of the struggle there was in connection with getting sone body installed ats postmaster. "Now, if I were free, I would colne not infrequently up to these rooms. You know I was in Washington but a few times and for i very few hours until I calme last. year, and I never expect to see the inside of the public buildings in Washington until 11my term is over. The minute I turn up anywhere, 1 amll) personally conducted to beat the band. The curator and the assistant curators and every other blooming oilicial turns up and they show me so much attention that I don't see the building. I would have to say, 'Stand aside and let me see what you are showing mIe.' "Some day after I am1 through with this 0o11ce I amll) going to collie back to Washington and see it. In the meantiime I am in the same category as the Notional lhusellm, the 111011 mlent, the Si1thsonini Institution or the Congressional library. If I only knew al exhibition appearance to as sule--4lpparently I can assume other appearances that do not show what is going on inside-l would like to have it pointed out also that I would practice it before the looking glass and see if I could not look like the molllent. Being regarded as a na-1 tionial exhibit would be muchi simler han being shaken hands with by the whole UJnited States. Likes Humanlllity. "And yet that is inter'esting to me, sliply becautse 1 1like human beings. It is a pretty 1po0r cr'owd thlat dloesni't initerest youl.
