Excerpt from Washington in War Times: A Series of Articles Published in the Detroit News, July 29-August 22, 1918It is frequently said that the President is cold, even icy. To be sure, you cannot be in his presence even for a moment without feeling that there is a great hardihood of power in his ensemble. You feel that below the surface lies a strong decisiveness, but it is in such serene control that it is not always belligerently asserting itself.Even before I met him I was constrained to believe by' fresh read ing of all his speeches that no bold man could think the thoughts he thinks and express them as he does. It would be constitutionally impossible. Or even outside the Speeches, take his volume of essays entitled Mere Literature, written at a time when he could not have been thinking even remotely of the Presidency, and see how impossible it would have been for that human play of thought to have proceeded from a cold mind. His thought is warm - that statement is beyond question.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
