REED IN THE CAMPAIGN.

There N 10 man IA the country who's
political utterances have q greater charm
ard force Than Thomas b. Reed. OF Maine.
There is something both massive and ma
tessgc IN the movement of hts thought.
who has 70 thoroughly mastsred pubic
questions that he is unwilling to triie by
sparring with novices upon matters watch
his knowledge and experience have finally
set a. rest he has the generosity OF true
greatness which knows its general posi-
wiling 10 admit the chance OF couos as
20 minor matters, and concede what Is
really true in It's opponents arguments.
knowing that upon the general PROPOSE
ton. and IN the final round up, the lesser
fellow will De wors.ed.
II Is the small man who admits moth
Ing. he throws his tatterdemalion army
10 the front en- masse and when once re-
pulsed he Is irretrievably ruined. for he
has no reserves TO fall back on.
With ali the good sayings that have
emanated from our distinguished public
men none Is better than Mr.. Resd's plain
remark that the Democratic party does
not know enough to govern rhis country.
From the standpoint OF judicious and con-
structive statesmanship the remark Is
veritsbly true; and nothing could more
truly illustrate 1t than the utterly help
less and impotent attitude IN which the
party found itself when IL was intrustsd
with the responsibility OF administering
the finances OF the country. For \ nation
as large and rich as the United States TO
contract an interest-bearing debt for cur
rent expenses In a time OF profound peace
bungling.
Mr.. Reed has q thorough comprehension
OF political problems. but he Is by no
mssns a mere politician He 10 too broad
for that. He has a large head full OF
brains. and OF quality that easily trans
cends politics. II he deals less In details
than other public men. It Is the careless
ness of the master who has passed beyond
the serious need OF them.
1t 10 well known that the speakers OF the
house OF representatives is the most pow
erful and important, II not the most con-
spicuous figure, In American politics. He
surveys the whole field OF legislation. and
comes In contact with every interest.
There fs no position where a man natur-
ally able can more fully round out his
judgment and observation OF national af-
fairs. and Thomas b. Reed has unqoes-
tionably done It to good purpose. His
utterances In the coming campaign viii
have more than common weight and they
will be given with moro than common
aptness and acumen.
