GOVERNOR WILSON NOT DEFINITE

GOVERNOR WILSON made an elabor-
ate speech in Detroit last week on PRO
gressive Principles AS a Cure For the
Nations Ills" A careful perusal of that
speech leads one to sundry pertinent
queries, as for example,
az WHAT ARE THE NATIONS ILLS =?
The speech seems strangely deficient in
defniteness here, just where ha ine7s is
intolerable in one who claims to be a
thinker and statesman. Diagnosis must
be clean and clear at this point, if the
speaker is to escape classification as a
demagogue. When one talks of the ma
tons ills, when he affects to lament the
sad estate of the body polite, he must
SPECIFY, or be charged with mere de-
clamation and agitation.
OBJ WHAT ARE PROGRESSIVE
PRINCIPLES? Here, rather more than
elsewhere, one tastes the bitterness of
disappointment to the very dregs in the
Governors deliverance. The word pro
gressive' has seldom been off his lips
since his public career began. He. II
anyone, should define the phrase. "Marse'
Henry Watterson, in his late elegy on
the departed Wilson boom, makes
SUDDlHS COHleSSlOH that ne Hdu, III ION-
ernor Wilson Cooked for a statesman
and found a school master" Well, a
school-master ought to be good at def
nitions, anyhow; and we are justified in
looking to Governor Wilson for clean
statement of what progressive princi-
Pies are, when he takes them for a
text. But we look in vain. The Detroit
speech brings no least enlightenment
on this score. One is left still to wander
in the glad, free realm of the magma
tion," when he would like to feel him
self treadlng an illuminated pathway.
Progressive principles'-is it a program
or just an atmosphere" or maybe dis
ease? Do you have to catch it,; or
does it come by affinity and proper
dwelling place; or can one adopt 1t as a
reasoned program? If, in all his talk
about progressive principles" Cover
nor Wilson could have given us some
satisfying information on these questions
We might have followed his address more
cheerfully.
(c) How are national ills" that are
unnamed (maybe unnamable) to be
Cured by progressive principles" that
are underlined tmaybe undefnable) ?
Where diagnosis has been so deficient,
one hardly looks for treatment that Is
firm and successful. Even so in the De-
troit speech. Reform, Wholesome
REIMBURSEMENT of Affairs etc, etc, these
phrases mark the progress of the ad-
dress, but bring no enlightenment as to
just what is contemplated. Reform
WHAT and HOW? What affairs are to
be readiusted and how arc thev fo ha ra .
adjusted? If Governor Wilson has a
definite program, why not present it? If
he has any clean cut ideas as to what he
wants to do and how he would do it, why
not set them forth? A plague on all this
hay, hifilutin talk that cuts rings round
the moon, when the thing that concerns
us. is the handling of certain very def
mite practical problems that pertain to
the three and one-half million of square
miles of earth we live in.

LEvELLER of all ranks, silencer Of all

LEVELLER of all ranks, silencer Ut all
Deaths mighty, majestic presence has
come into our midst with a suddenness
that stuns and with such mystery as de-
fes the explanations OF our feeble minds.
In the very prime of life, apparently Wig
orous in mind and body, our neighbor
and fellow-editor George R. Ash, has
been in a moment removed from our
midst by the hand of death. Above all
the suddenness and the sadness of this
most untimely taking off, we see with
first and most appealing sympathy the
stricken home in which he was a most
devoted husband and father. There, in
the eternal bonds of the love that links
us most nearly to the divine, life is lived
at its best and dearest. The world can
claim nothing in a man, comparable to
the claims of his home-to the unques
toned proprietorship of the immortal
love of wife and children. Theirs is the
supreme loss, the grief unspeakable, in
whose presence one can only bow the
head and worship" Words of coincidence
seem hollow, almost impertinent, in such
an hour to such sorely smitten hearts.
Only the God of all comfort, only the
great heart of the Eternal can help,
where human help grows impotent, and
the deepest human sympathy seems cold
and insufficient
We cannot call George Ash back to his
earthly labors, to his many friends who
find it hard to reali e how strangely
they have been bereft; we cannot call
the husband and father back to the arms
that are stretched achingly out for his
loved presence; but we can, and do, cry
to Thee, oh, Thou Father of us ALL for
the help of Thy presence in this hour to
those who are nearer and dearer to Thee
today than ever before, because their
need is now greatest.
