A PENNYslVANlAN OPINION

Nevada is assuming so improved
a moral tone as to almost require
a label to assure the spectator that
she is the same state. 1t has heen
one of the accomplishments to the
customary six.months' trip to Reno
for the winner of the 1iSorce as
soon as the boon is granted, to
rush up to Carson City with the
new mate and contract new mar
riage, says the Pittsburgh PA. }
Dispatch. Thus the mill of the
divorce court at Reno pumped
water on the wheel of the county
clerks Office at Carson City and
brou. b il real money all around.
But moral progress will have its
way. The authorities at Carson
City announce that they will not
issue licenses to marry to nom
resi- tents. This, in company with
the reform at Reno of requiring a
years residence before d vorce
application can be heard, is apt to
very much diminish the charms of
Nevada as place to be off with
the old mate and on with the new.
1t looks as if the people of that
state were weary of that sort of
romance. What state will he fnr
it next? There always is a state
to do that sort of business
though it generally tires the people
before long.

THE DEMOCRATIC TASK

The people of the country have
spoken. We have chosen demo-
cratic president the first IL a de-
cade and half There is little in
the result to cause surprise; il was
i'm fact inevitable. The spirit OF
progressiveness was abroad. 1t
found in Mr. Wilson sane expression
and personality which inspired
effective confidence. 1t was aided
to effect expression by the rending
of the republicans ranks caused by
the formation of the new party
and further by assault on the
tradition of the third teru. We
have had the best kind of DEM
onstration that there is large and
aggressive and radical element in
this country. Its vigor makes it
certain that that element will hold
intact under its present designa-
ton for some time and that it is
sure to be factor to be dealt
with in our political life. The old
order has. changed, social justice in
the country strong conservative
and woe to the party or the man
who fails to recognize their de-
mand.
1t is likewise evident that we
have in the country strong con-
servt tive element - conservative
but OF hide bound and in love
with the felt RS Of various kinds
whicI long custom has put upon it.
That element was largely republic
can; it r,volted however, at Roose-
welt and the untried party of novel
principles which he headed. Very
naturally that conservative ele-
men. was moved to pin its faith to
Wilson and his party will prove
themselves blind if they do not re-
cogn,ze this element and UNDER
stand that the old order must
change If there is failure TO do
this. they may rest fully assured
that their tenure of power will
come to a sudden end the next time
the vaters have an opportunity TO
strike.
Mr. Wilson is elected under very
suspicious circumstances. He is
endorsed by u popular vote Of dim
ehsions which show the great con-
fideDce which great nation places
in him.
He will take up the duties of his
Office backed by congress of his
own political faith and ono which
ought to be sensible to the great
responsibilities which rest upon
him. He and his party take the
country when prosperity is at high
tide. This for them is both for
innate and dangerous, for upon
them rests the task Of conserving
that prosperity.
The DOGGY Of the tariff mast he
faced, but it must be faced and
dealt with in moderation and with
wisdom. There are iniquities in
the thing; they must be cut ont.
The task is delicate one; it IL
not task for axmen- to 90
about as they would the slashing
down of forest. The thing re.
duire; the trained hand, the skill

Mr. Wilson must be depended
upon to do this work. His
patience is one which will be
found to react quickly either for
good or bad, according to the
mant err Of the doing or the work.
