1t would take too much time to
cnumerate the progressive and con-

ernor Wilson approves as a student
of political history, and particularly
as q student of conditions in the Unit
ed States.
From personal talks with him
know that, while he is of course
nothing like so radical and extreme
as myself, he is certainly to be class
ed as progressive man with a con-
structive program and with due def
erence to Governor Harmon and Mr..
Clark, knowing them to be fine gen.
tlemen and honest politicians, l do
not think this can be said of them.
That Governor Wilson stands for all
the principles of democracy. includ-
ing free trade, we know, and what has
been urged against him-namely, that
he has changed his views-is to my
mind all in his favor, for it shows
two things: That he has the capac-
ity for growth and change and that
he has the courage to avow his con-
version and to admit his former mis-
takes. No one who knows him or has
watched him can believe that his

wisdom suggest. For example, Wood
row Wilson, both in private CONVEX
sation and in his public addresses, has
certain very distinct programs. He
thoroughly believes in the initiative
and referendum and yet he does not
believe the initiative should be the
regular daily method for making laws
(nor do y; but he believes that If
we can achieve a body of legislators
truly representative of the people
they may be trusted to do the gener-
al routine of lawmaking and the ini-
tative may be kept for great occa-
sions or emergencies and as check
on the legislative body.
Responsibility to People.
Everyone knows we have never had
a legislative assembly, either state or
national, which represented the plain
common people. Wilson points out
that the reason for this is that the
one agent who is directly responsible
to the people, on whom a single re-
sponsibility rests or ought to rest;
who is the eyes and ears and tongue
for the people, the executive, never
halls of legislature He very clearly
instances the example of the appro-
priation bill, or taking of the peoples
money from their pockets The eX-
ecutive and his subordinates will be
charged with the duty of spending
this money. They have the manage
ment of the states business and know
what its bills are and its needs are,
and they do prepare the necessary
facts and data for appropriation
bills. But there their controi over tho
matter ends and in both national and
state legislatures the estimate of APP
preparations or the budget sent in by
the president or the governor is
| thrown into the waste paper basket
and the members begin a system OF
logrolling, swapping and wire pull
| ing, each for himself and his own To-
cality, until an appropriation bill is
finally passed with which the execu-
| tive sas really had nothing to do.
| He compares this with the English
system, where the executive or prime
minister, or his cabinet, can go upor
| the floor of the house, explain the
budger, drag it out of pigeon holes
prevent its being mutiliated, or a
least can by daily speeches report i
in the press and by the records o

ed as to just what their so-called rep
resentatives are doing, with the prac
tical result that the house of com
mons does represent the average maj
much more truly than does our hous

points out that the clause of the con
