LAUDs WILSON;
 PRESIDENT WILL BE GREAT
Democrats Bound to Reap Harvest of Their Success the Polls November as Headto-Be of Nation Is Believed
 to Be More Able and Better Qualified to Direct Ad- mnistration Than Grover Cleveland. Has Obstacles
MUCH ROUGH WORK IN STORE FOR WILSON

In spite Of Mark Antony's tearfiI oration. we do not understand that
 Caesar gushed over his friends. or
 that, though not unmindful of them.
 Washington much consulted his Der
 sonal likes and dislikes in the chOos-
 ing of his instruments. Now and then
 tradition which tells of a leaning
 toward the shiyalric comes to us from
 Henry Of Navarro and Andrew Jack
 son But the rule among kings of
 men has inclined to the Doric. They
 have been made Of sterner stun and
 have cultivated the reserved and un- yielding. Leadership implies seIf-con- fidence. dominancy. and will power. Mir. Cleveland had plenty of these. But he lacked the fullness of knowledge which comes from lifelong intellectual habitudes, and the definite purpose which takes its cue from special study and original research. He got his po- htical economy by absorption and at second hand. He possessed strong natural gifts: within the reach of his mental vision no man saw clearer: within his competency no man govern ed wiser, or truer. He was obstin- ate, however. rather than firm: not ct all resourceful in dealing with men: and, temperamentally tactless. likely 10 grow impatient under stress Of ci. cumstances. Thus he wrecked his par- ty- wrecked it after it had reached what seemed a safe haTbor-and left 1t very hulk upon the wide, wide sea.
 Woodrow Wilson comes to the head Of affairs full-grOwn man. He is mature in all his powers. For good, or i'll, his character is ripened and all his own. Sprung fro a race of scholars and thinkers, he has from his cradle, played with books-devouT- ed them. written them-a publici5t learned tp the schools: a politician, as- tute, acute and up to date: a popular speaker of the modern type. at once effective and attractive. The oppO"- tUnity before him is resplendent, the pitfalls many and deep
 What he will do with congress re- mains tC be seen. What congress will do to him remains to be seen. Democracy needs Jefferson to initi- ate. a Jackson to execute. How many Of the swIn-songs of the campaign can be translated into statute law? What rival ambitions may take he held-at first under cover and then in the Open-tO confuse and thwart his highest aims? Shall he find 9 Ben touian tower of strength in the sen ate as Jackson did? Shall he be able To organize a group in the House such as held up the hands of Jackson with men like James K. Polk and Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan, Andrew Stevenson and Richard NJ. Johnson in the lead2 Shall he prove himself an- other old Hickory.
 Time alone shall tell us. His nom nation and election look very like a destiny The times need a man: they need a schOGlmaster: they need an they need one who knows and can discriminate: who sees inC can do: who is honest and not afraid Roosevelt has some great tualities. No doubt Of that. Rut Roosevelt is yet a boy. He is a boy Or him to have Events will show us what Wilson is

 Meanwhile the republican party Is lead. Its leaders. with Taft at their head, my not think so; but it is as lead as a door nail. As the institution ,f African slavery killed the old dem 'cratic party has the Protective Tariff ystem killed the modern republican ,arty.
 Like slavery. Protestionism laid iu alse economic theories, is untenable { has Outstayed its welcome The American manufacturer will find pro ection a Chinese wall as the south m planter found slave labor a brok- m reed The vast income required y the government to be got through he custom houses will upon a fairly djusted revenue tariff furnish the 1anufaeturers all the protection they ould ask against their foreign com editors who have to cross the seas io ring their wares to market.
 lt Is inevitable that the Bull Moose arty. under the leadership of Roose- cit, will swallow what Is left worth aying Of the republican party. By the dvent Of Wilson and the democracy he Bull Moose becomes the party of rotest. Slowly, but surely. all the ele- lents Of discontent will gather about | Whilst Wilson is giving the people the marble heart" of enlightened, ractical and orderly administration. roosevelt will be giving them "the ong and dance" Of Armageddon.
 Take out of the democratic party he 'progressiyes. as they call them elves. and join them to the ~progres- Ives who rally to Roosevelt, and no ian can predict the state of the coun- " and the complexion Of the con ress. As Wilson strives to fulfill the romises of the democratic platform nd to meet the requirements of ra- onsl progress. will the standards of be raised.
