...Antelope Island in the Southeastern corner of the lake the buffalo* herd slowly bestirred itself to test the morning air. Like shaggy brown mounds they looked in the dim light, lurching up lazily from sleep: here three cows and their calves in a grassy pocket gulch; here, in the broader valley, a scattered group of yearlings and dry cows; there, proudly alone, a burly young bull; there, ponderous and patriarchal, respectfully attended by his consorts, an old herd leader with a hump like a hillock, beard to the ground and the gleam of fretful age in his small red eyes...

The distinguished immigrant-editor-publicist-pacifist has a fleshier face than President Wilsons ever was. His type is far less intellectual, broader, heavier in every way; strong?yes?but not so magnificently "horse-jawed . . . lean templed . . . highbrowed." You published an excellent but disrespectful description of Woodrow Wilson, all but the "longish ears," which you must have transplanted from a Bok photograph where they are indeed to be seen. President Wilson's ears...
