Governor Woodrow Wilson.
who is an avowed candidate for
the national Democratic nomina-
ton for president of the United
States. seems to spend much of
his time i'm proposing radical inno-
vatlons IN the political system of
the United States Government,
remarks the Picayune.
His last scheme is to hold pri-
maries for the nomination of pres
idential candidates and to exclude
any persons nominated by a party
convention who had not been
chosen in a primary. He advo-
Gates the election of all national
and state officials by direct pop
ular election, after they shall have
been chosen in primaries. If his
notion were adopted, the Ameri-
can people would spend so much
of their time in primary and tin-
al elections that they would be
able to do little else.
1t seems to be the notion of
some radical politicians that the
entire time of the American people
should be spent in electing and
recalling or kicking out public Of
fcials and in enacting laws to be
Immediately repealed and. in maxi
ing constitutions only to amend
them.
Those patriots whose desire is
to keep themselves continually be-
fore the public do not seem to re-
fleet that there are o. her matters
OF interest besides themselves.
But the proposition for national
presidential primaries carries pop
ular participation in public affairs
to an almost insane extreme.

Looking upon the Canadian
reciprocity pact rs . '. irritable en-
tering wedge for irving the mon
strous Republican tariff system,
there can. but be the highest ap-
preciaticn Of President Taft's SER
vice and courage-mingicd with
regret for their futility-in secur-
ing its adoption, says the Vicks-
burg Herald. The value Of his
espousal Of the measure lay in its
use as a ground of cooperation
on which a Republican President
and the practically solid Democra-
tic membership of congress could
stand together in initiating real
tariff revision. Al has been chang
ed-the hands Of the clock of en-
lightened progress turned back,
by the avalanche majority at the
Canadian polls.
II is not within the province OF
Americans to ~criticise the Canadi-
an disposal of a policy agreed up
on by the President and the Pre-
m:er to be good for both countries,
Our neighbors at the worst but
acted upon the selfish reasoning
taught by our stand-patters. In
fact the question has been but lit
tie considered by Americans from
the Canadian view point. 1t has
been favored or opposed as tina,
entering WEDGE" and now that q
hostile decision has been rendered
it is only of interesting moment
for its effect upon American poll
tics.
One seemingly certain conse'
quence of the vanishment of reel.
procity is severance of the few
threads of the bonds of the hi.
partisan affinity it brought about
which were left by the veto of tn.
wool, free list and cotton schedule
bills. AS a natural sequence o.
the separation of the President
from Democratic supporters o.
reciprocity, we may look for a re.
Taxation of the strained relation:
between him and the two wingso
Lis own party. With reciprocit,
out of the way, we may expec
them to get together on a tariff
revision bill of their own. Such .
view must largely detract from
the Presidents speeches. VIVA
is of more consequence, through
his misfortune and not his fault
the President stands TO suffer .
decided. perhaps . politically fatal
loss Of national prestige.

Recent dsvrlopments in the
worlds cotton situation, and rumors
and long standing conditions Ia tho
legal department Of tho government
give legitimate riao o this query:
Arc tho COTTON farmers Of tho
southern states 70 view tho federal
loyal department rs m aid or ! me-
mace in what il charged - ! con-
spiracy to deprees tho price Of the
staple during the coming season?
Tho question is vital. 1t touches
not only the direct welfare Of more
than two million farmers in the
southern states. It affects, a. we'll,
every business interest in the south
and that phase Of international com
merce depending directly or indi-
roctly upon cotton in its myriad
phast S.
Something over q year ago the
federal department of the govern
ment. whose head had formerly
maintained professional re. atoms
with the New York Cotton Exchange
came to the aid Of welshing bear
gamblers and instituted prosecu-
tions against men who were seeking
to uphold the price Of cotton.
Now that the price depressors are
at work. will it be as Jealous to en-
force the law against the element
that il charged against hese reputa-
BILE congressman with conspiring to
thwart the law of supply and de-
mand?
The farmers of the southern states
have a right to know where they
stand. They have means and or
CARNATIONS to circumvent the plots
of the bear element. But if they
are to be pot shotted and ambusca-
ded by a department of the govern
ment they help t, support-it is
just AZ we'll to be made aware Of the
fact in the beginning!
There is tentative-but only tena
tive-light on the subject from
another source. The Albany On.
w. Journal is sponsor for the state.
ment that the head of the legal de-
partment is in disfavor with the adj
ministration, that his retirement is
rumored and the reason is alleged
a. follows:
1T is stated on what is declared
to be good authority that Mr.. Wick
ersham's recent Published discus
sion Of the prscticability Of tho fix
ing at prices ef commodities by an
ageneysa9 theskpsernnent did not
meet With President Taft's approval
to say the least.
No way exists to verify cabinet
rumors. But the producers of the
most important crop of America
have had sad price fixing" tenden-
cies of the legal department Of the
government.
It will be labor we'll spent for
them to ascertain right now if they
must, this fall, battle against a
governmental handicap; if the gov
eminent viii manifest the same act
ivity against depressors of the price
of cotton as it has already against
upholders of the price of cotton
