An Efficient Official.

Ds.-Wilsy. sppesas TO hsss~lsoeaa
where he stood when he announced
severa, weeks ago that he would not
be removed from his positieaa as
chemical expert for the government:
and that lie would he doing business
at the old stand when some of the
men who we're his enemies we're on
the scrap heap.
The Presidents action in standing
by the noisy aud eccentric chemist Is
not to be traced, We think. to his de-
sire to please large number Of peo-
pie throughout the country. He has
made 1t fairly plain that he does not
seek popularity by the obvious routes
lie appears, rather, TO hold that he
must hew to the line; and this IL
true. despite the fact. that many Of
his actions have been interpreted as
political rather than sound.
II Is more than likely that Nr. VII
ley has been saved because, In spite Of
his Objectionable manners and man
nerisns. he Is an efficient Official. He
has thrown the larger part Of his en-.
ergy into q work which vas impera-
lively needed. The pure.food crusade
has been something more than a fad.
II has been Of tremendous benefit 10
the public. The work Of systematic
cally inspecting and analyzing food
products was 50 long postponed that
II presented monumental difficulties
when II was at last taken In hand.
For this reason. a good deal Of con-
fusion was inevitable. and 1t is posi-.
bile that some injury has been done,
in the effort to yet at dishonest and
INSCRIPTIONS u,en.
Nevertheless. the work has gone
forward by leaps and bounds, and IL
cannot he denied that Wiley has
helped nightly.
We might wish that the Doctor
HAD less love Of notoriety. and less Of
genius for making himself needlessly
conspicuous. But he has delivered
the goods" and the President may he
commended for standing by him.

Leave Us Alone.

Wall street has again warned the
people that they are killing big busi.
ness. II tells them that restrictible
and regulating legislation enacted or
proposed will certainly involve the
country IN financial disturbance. II
urges the people to take as "reasona.
bile" a view Of legislation as the su.
premc court recently did Of the inter
state commerce law. Wall Street
tells the people that II they do not,
they will pay the penalty Of their
folly.
Wall Street always has Mysteries
when II sees any prospects Of dimin.
ished dividends or water squeezed out
Of stock. There was a time when Il
could involve the country In financial
panic. but recent attempts to do so
have proven dismal failures. Wall
Stree, Is not 80 big as II once was, or
the country has gotten bigger than
Wall Street, II makes no difference
which. We are all inclined to believe
the latter.
And Wall Street still fails to dis.
eliminate. 1t holds that all big bust.
ness Is legitimate business, when
there Is a vast difference between
them. Legitimate business does not
require rest riction and regulation.
Rig business does. Unrestricted and
unregulated II would soon crush the
very life out Of the people.
II estriction and regulation are
killing big business they are loosing
the bonds Of the people. BETTER 10
loose the bonds than To tighten them.
An unfettered people have greater
and better oppori unities for liveli.
hood and. happiness.

yard l may say first that feel very
friendly toward Governor Wilson. My
opinion is that he ought to be nOmi-
mated The last four campaigns dem
onstTated pretty conclusiyely that
there are more Republicans in the
United States than Democrats 1t is
certain, therefore, that we must have
other than Democratic votes in order
to succeed. The Independent and the
progressive vote will support Wilson
more generously than any other Dem
ocrat or course, our candidate ought
first to be satisfactory to the Democ-
racy of the South, and after that
should be acceptable to all other ele-
ments of the party. Ten months ago
Harmon had the call on the nomina-
ton. Today Wilson would win easily,
OF course, we cannot tell or foretell
what the situation will be ten months
hence when the convention assem-
bles. ! see no reason, howeva' why
Wilson should not hold his own and
gain strength, l shall be pleased to
hear anything which you might feel
disposed to say concerning conditions
in your islands.
