On February 24, 1916, Owen Wister, one of the nation’s leading novelists and playwrights, published the following poem about the president of the United States:

History has lashes that have flayed the names

Of public cowards, hypocrites, poltroons;

You go immune, cased in your self-esteem;

The next world cannot scathe you, nor can this;

No fact can stab through your complacent dream;

Nor present laughter, nor the future’s hiss.

But if its fathers did this land control

Dead Washington would wake and blast your soul.
