There is a certain man Who. though

though not an exile, has no home. There
is a man who goes skulking in fear over
the earth. A familiar face would terrify

Popular Government.

One OF the most encouraging features
in recent political developments is the
fact that nearly all the important party
leaders. irrespective of political faith.
now advocate direct primaries IN which
the rank and file OF the voters will
choose their candidates for State and
national offices.
An honestly managed direct primary
system means genuine popular rule. with
bosses no longer able to dictate party
nominees.
once the convention system is abolished,
If the people DO not rule. it is their
own fault
Some thirty States now have direct
primary laws. which put the political
power where it belongs-in the hands Of
the people. The people rule IN these
States Their interest IN political ques-

The Administration and the Party.

President Taft and his Cabinet now IN
washington for a weeks conference, the
first since the early summer, coincident-
~ with their attention TO public business
VIII naturally have sort of family dis
cussion OF the political situation.
From no other point OF view can so
good a survey OF the political field be
had as from Washington. Here the
vision IS unwarped by things local. and
a more accurate perspective is possible.
II is the common saying that from
Washington the situation IS viewed
through the eyes OF the administration.
This is not true OF the impartial or IN
prejudiced observation. But It is literally
true, Of course, OF a survey made by the
President and his Cabinet. What they
see Will be seen through administration
eyes. and & VIII not be pleasing or
inspiring view at best.
Their survey will reveal the admins
tration party working at cross purposes
a party fairly torn asunder with fac
tons; a party discredited out Of the
mouth OF its own leaders. and going into
a campaign disorganized and inviting a
defeat that only a miracle could now
forestau AL this is revealed elsewhere;
but here the adverse conditions can be
seen in their right proportions. and thus
be properly appraised.
II the outlook Is no brighter than when
the President went away. certainly It IS
no darker There has been an align
ment of conflicting forces IN many quar-
ters which has made the situation
clearer. By the defeat or ardent cham

States and the success OF avowed an

States the sentiment OF the party on IS

cessful efforts along other lines
As for President Taft. the sentiment
OF the country toward him is more SYM
pathetic and friendly to-day than az any
time since he took the oath OF Office.
The tone or the press. both East and
West. is bespeal1ing the fullest confidence
in him. His speeches at st. Paul and
Cincinnati enhanced the high opinion in
which he was held as a conservative yet
progressive statesman. and he has hone
fitted obviously by the contrast Of these
speeches with extraordinary utterances
heard concurently.
The Taft administration is infinitely
more popular than the Republican party.
Every change OF the tariff has brought
trouble TO the administration identified
with It. and the Taft administration is
faring quite as well as any of its prede-
cessors similarly burdened
