WOODROW WILSON'S
 POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.


 York Times prints the following edit orial which is well worth tLe thought, fuI perusal of every voter.
 Tt is a system of political philoso, phy not a plan of action, that Gov erior Wilson presented in his speech accepting the democratic nomination to the presidency. His philosophy is no abstraction, however. It is very practical. and has direct bearing upon our national problems and poll, cies. IL is applicable The dominant thought. the very soul of his discourse, is the common interest of all the peo- pie, their partnership in our activities and our prosperity. The partnership idea comes from his mind not as a sublimated political theory, but as a practical. immediate remedy.
 "sThe nation has been unnec-
 essariIy, unreasonably at war
 within itself, when there were
 common principles of right and
 of fair dealing which might and
 should have bound them all to-
 gether. not as rivals, but ss part
 ners. As the servants of all, we
 are bound to undertake the great
 duty of accommodation and ad
 justment'
 That is the soundest and wisest ut. terance Of the campaign year. It de- lineates with merciless accuracy the chief evil that afflicts us, and points to the cure. Interest has been ar rayed against interest, not merely through natural rivalry. but because the demagOgues and the politicians have found their profit in setting rival interests my the ears, nfanning the flames of passion, in promoting de struction by war. Power had taken 10 itself privilege, and so enjoyed an undue and unfair advantage. Public agitators like MT. Roosevelt and MT Bsyan selfshly and unscrupuiousIy capitalized for themselves the discOn. tent engendered by such inequalities. For their own benefit they have pro longed the period of unrest, but they have found no remedies. MT. Wilson finds a remedy. We are bound, he says. to undertake the great duty Of accommodation and adjustment
 This is not the dream of an ideal isl. If the head of the government during more than seven years could keep up the war of interest upon in- terest. and bring on business de pression that has continued through the whole term of the succeeding ad- ministration, is it too much to hope that 8 wiser servant of the people, disinteTestedly devoted 10 the vel fare Of the whole people can accom- plish those accommodations and ad- justments which will restore peace and make way for the return of pros perity? With NIT. Wilson it is funda- mentally question Of good faith and morals. Beyond that, it is a question of right action and of simple justice Of the two great things to be done one is to set up rule of justice and of right in such matters as the tar if, the trusts banking and currency, and labor
 ''This is Woodrow Wilson's idea of the rule of the people, that they should rule themselves wisely. under leaders and with servants who will in good faith and with knowledge ad- wise them what if is well that they should do. The shipper and the farm CT cannot prosper if the railroads are crippled by restrictions unjustly i'm. post d. The people as a whole cannot prosper if laws are enacted and en. forced in hatred of the great modern instrument of industry, the corpora tion Industrial peace, not industrial war. is MT Wilson's idea The great. est blessing that he and his party that any president or any party, could confer upon this republic, is the real ization of that idea. What we are seeking is not destruction of any kind" he says, ''nor the destruction of any sound or honest thing, bur merely the rule of right and of com mon advantage Again. it would be a chapter of readjustment, not oi pain and rough disturbances And again. "Our task now is to effect a great adjustment, and get the force; of the whole people once more into play. We need no revolution; we need no excited change: we need only a new point of view and new method and spirit of counsel These are words if reinsurance, the most reassurine that any man within the shadow oi actual or coming responsibility has spoken 10 the American people in re cent times.
 'Mr Wilson puts the tariff to the fore in his review of the work to b done. Here it IS not pain and rougf disturbance. not revolution not ex cited change that he advocates, bu changes made only at such rate anC in spch a way as iwdll least interfers with the normal Ind heaIthful lcourss of commerce and mauufaetuFe ye changes made without tirnidity to re duce duties that give undeserved ad vantage to limited groups of benefi eiaries. And the revision must b immediate. and 1t should be down ward. unhesitatingly and steadily downward
 Tn his attitude toward the trust' Governor wilson Is nor a visionary
