The Enemy and His Books.

The New York Tribune is enlivening
the early days of the campaign by quoting
from the writings of Woodrow Wilson
the author which do not gee with the
opinions and interests of Woodrow Viii
son the politician and presidential can
didate. And II must be confessed the
quotations make what the illustrfous
founder of the Tribune used to call
mighty interesting reading" When the
campaign gets under way we shall see
Wilson the author repeatedly arrayed
against Wilson the candidate; and the
duel will be lively.
The New York Sun takes issue with it's
such a course. 1t holds that Wilson the
candidate must be tried by the opinions
he is now expressing and will emphasize
in his letter accepting the Baltimore
nomination. Wilson the author Is not be-
fore the public-is not the issue. His
books are on the shelf and so is their
author. /, is the candidate We have to
do with today. and what he proposes for
the good of the country.
But the point relates to the stability
of Mr.. Wilson's opinions. How long are
the opinions Mr.. Wilson is now express
ing likely to last? How much pressure
will they be able to stand tried in the
fires of official responsibility?
Those fires if encountered will be fierce

The Borrowing Habit.

Humanity is afflicted with some exceed.
ingl bad habits, one of the worst OF
which is that of borrowing money in
| small sums. 1t is as demoraliEing as in
temperance. Indeed. it is often an ac-
compartment of that vice, perhaps the
cause of it or perhaps the effect. A man
who lacks business perception, who is de-
fcient in the matter of making adequate
provision for his needs. who does not cal
culate carefully, and who spends slnwise-
ly on luxuries. starts to raising funds
by appealing to his friends. The lending
of money is one of the vital factors in
business. which is largely done on credit.
But the lending of money Individually.
without security. without interest just
as a personal accommodation between
friends, is one Of the most unbusinesslike
and demoralzing of practices. At first
these loans are repaid conscientiously
Then the time goes by and the
borrower is slow about refunding
After a while he grows accustomed
to asking, loses his shame gets
callous to the thought Of non-pay-
ment and thus drifts into the habit of
quarter. or a half dollar, or some other
perfectly willing to give in a good cause,
to meet a real emergency, without hope
Of return. But there is always the sus-
picion that the money is not really need
ed, save for some self-indulgence. The
average man will hesitate about giving
in this way when he feels that the money
is going for drink, and that Is why or
ganized charity has come to be SO gen.
orally supported in these times. It is an
admirable check against the IMPROVE
dence that expresses itself in shftless,
dishonest. petty borrowing. For man
who is out of funds and out Of work and
who has a family to support. there is al
ways liberal feeling on the part of
everybody. But the man who is contin
ually "panhand]ing." who is asking old
friends or casual acquaintance or
strangers for 'loans." deserves no consid-
Grafton. He is the victim of a habit that
becomes firmly fixed. His moral fiber
has deteriorated. There may be a cure
for him. IL the cause of his laxness can
be reached and corrected. But lending
him money-which is polite method OF
putting it-does him no good and is SIM
ply a waste Of funds that were better
applied to straight charitable work
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-07-14

ings and his party's interests Then he Is
tempted to retreat to safer ground; and
many men 50 tempted have retreated.
Mr.. Wilson's conversion to Organism
was sudden. and occurred at a time and
in circumstances inviting doubt in some
quarters as to it's sincerity. His OPP
ponents declared that had he not been
tempted with political honors the con-
version would never have taken place.
Seeing the rising tide of Organism in the
democratic party. Mr.. Wilson decided to
take 1t at the flood. and attempt on the
crest to reach the White House.
Out OF this shifting of his foot grows
the question as to whether in the White
House Mr.. Wilson might not shift It
again, and shift it back to the old posi-
ton. Suppose. in the duel, the author
were to conquer the officeholder. Sup
pose the off1ceholder should treat as
''bosh' policies he 80 denominated when
as a writer and student he was prepar-
ing his books in his workshop. That
would create not only a sensation. but
many difficulties for Mr.. Wilson'S party,
and incidentally for the country.
The Tribune is on a line of legitimate
investigation and discussion. and but
little in advance of the republican man
ayers.

Mr.. Bell on Bryan.

Theodore Bell of California, who pre-
sided over the Denver convention four
years ago and aspired to preside over the
Baltimore convention, said at Seagirt the
other day: "If we suspected for min
ute that Wilson in any way re-
sponsiblc for Bryan we could not come
To him as We do l am going back to
nv state and tell the people that Wilson
does not mean Bryan or Organism
MIR Bell is either a droll fellow, or else
too innocent and unsuspecting and short
sighted for politics.
OF course Mr.. Wilson is not responsible
for BRYAN Tie shoe is on the other foot.
Mr. Bryan is responsible for Mr.. Wilson.
He brought the Jersey man around to his
views of public questions, and then made
the convert the nominee at Baltimore.
That is as plain as a pikestaf. If Mr.. Bell
does not see it he enjoys the distinction
of being the only politician of prominence
in the country who has not made the
discovery.
As to whether Mr. Wilson means Bran
and Bryanism the future must determine.
Mr. Bryan thinks he does. Otherwise he
would not have given Mr.. Clarke the
double-cross at tho psychological moment
seems to be authority, without consulting
the family Bible. to say that Mr.. Bryan
was not horn yesterday.
VIA, steps Mr.. Bryan will take to
make certain of the matter cannot be
stated. Probably he will take some. He
has heard of the fate of James Smith. jr.
and of how. after accepting Mr.. Smith 3
aid which was invaluable in the race
for Governor of New Jersey, Mr.. Wilson
turned on Smith and cast him into the
discard II was thought at the time of
his election as governor that Wilson
meant Smith and Smithism but that was
a mistake.
1t might be well. therefore, for Mr. Bell
to delay his report to the people of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Bryan is Il man OF en-
thusiasm. but his enthusiasm is under
regulation. He will take as few chances
as possible with Mr.. Wilson. and it may
he in his power. with the Smith episode
before him. to nail something down. Pre-
suFnably he will attempt to do that. and
as a result it may turn out that if elected
Mr. Wilson will mean Bryan and Bryan
ism
MIR Sell is one of the many Clark men
very sore because of the defeat of their
favorite at Baltimore. which, very proper
~, they lay al Mr.. Bryan's door. But time
is great healer: and after a few weeks
Mr. Bell and the Clark folks AT home may
not feel as bitterly toward Mr. Bryan
As they now do. When they see and
hear Mr.. Clark on the stump urging Mr..
Wilson election they will experience bet
ter spirits.

Railways and Progress.

That ultimately some form of automa tic
stop will be adopted by the American
railways to prevent collisions through the
failure of engineers to observe block sig
nails can hardly be doubted in view of
the repeated demonstrations that such a
device is the only way to safeguard hui
man life. Several forms of the auto
matte stop have been invented and are
awaiting adoption. but railroad compa-
MES give their inventors no encourage
ment. contending that they are not re-
quired and relying upon the fact that the
law does not compel their use. The
present question is whether the railroads
will act of their own volition in this
matter through an enlightened realiza-
ton of the necessity or will be forced by
new legislation. just as they have been
compelled in other matters to adopt i'm
proved appliances.
The entire history Of railroad equip
ment development has been succession
of compulsions. Indeed. this chapter is
by no means agreeable reading to Ameri-
cans who are proud of the present state
of things and believe that the transporta-
ton system in this country is model
for the wOrld-Which it is far from being.
In almost every instance notable i'm
provements have awaited adoption for
years after invention and practical per-
lection The air brake, the automatic
coupler. the vestibuled platform, the
block signal. all these had to be almost
literally forced upon the railroad COM
panies by public sentiment. Within a
very few years it required peremptory
legislation to compel the equipment Of
freight cars with air brakes and suffi-
Gent hand holds to lower the percent
age of casualties. Special inspectors had
to be sent throughout the country to
watch the cars and report the number Of
delinquencies. and numerous fines were
imposed. Yet common sense dictated
that these devices be promptly employed
for the protection Of the railroads them
selves as well as the employees.
At every exhibition of railroad devices
numerous appliances are shown which are
designed to lessen danger, such as auto
matte air and steam pipe couplers, f1ex-
lille trucks, etc. Repeated tests have
shown the value Of many of these in
ventions. but their promoters have the
greatest difficulty in securing their adOp-
ton. being put to considerable expense
in their demonstration. The argument
that IS met by them at every turn is
that all such changes Cost too much
money. or that there Is no real need of
this or that device and that the present
system is good enough, Notwithstanding
the fact that every day lives are lost in
railroad yards or on the main lines of
travel, partly. it is true. through huma n
-,
last analysis to the lack Of these same
safeguards that are awaiting application.
1t remains for the law to intervene in
behalf Of the public and the workers on
the railway lines to compel more pro-
sressive spirit on the part of the railway
companies.
