tain to have company.
The task set for Mr.. Wilson is enor-
nous. He Is expected to show the way IN
at least three matters of very great i'm
portance. In his recommendations to
Congress he must handle the tariff prob
lem. the trust problem and the currency
problem. Others are pressing, but those
three cannot wait. And each one VIII tax
both his resources and those of Congress
when taken up. All three cannot possibly
be disposed Of by the Sixty-third Con-
gress, and one at least-probably the cur
rency problem-will go over to the Sixty
fourth Congress, which will begin busi-
ness only some six months before the
next democratic national convention Is
held.
The eve of next nomination time, there
fore, will find Mr.. Wilson still graphing
with the mandate he has just received.
He will not have executed his full task.

fourth Congress is democratic on the
record. what can prevent the renom1na-

two years. and the Sixty-fourth Congress
is republican, foreshadowing republican
President two years later. who will care
to contest with Mr. Wilson for an empty
honor?
Mr.. Bryan urging one term will not be
impressive, in the light of the fact that
he has had three nominations. and would
have accepted a fourth at Baltimore. And
the general understanding is that he is
figuring on fourth in 1916.

Ambassador Bryan?

Mr. Eryan for Whitelaw Reds post.
He should not consider the suggestion
for moment. Not that the place IS out
side his equipment. He would, OF course
fiji IL we'll and easily. He has the tenn
perament and the address essental 10
such service. and would soon be a toast
in all intellectual circles in the British
islands. His fame, which has gone every
where, is nowhere higher abroad thah
among English-speaking people.
But there is larger work for Mr.. Bryan
to do at home. The existing good rela-
tions between America and Great Britain
are important but, thanks to the hlsh
grade men we have been sending to Lon
don and Great Britain has been sending
to Washington. they do not call for that
extreme watchfulness they once did, Inc
feeling of each country toward the other
is now so cordial and sincere it almost
supports itself. Picked men are eX-
changed for diplomatic duty somewhat as
a matter of compliment from the one
country to the other. We have been for
tunate in Mr. Reid's presence at the
British court, and Great Britain in Mr..
Bryce's presence in Washington. but
their successors will uphold the standard
founded upon the Buchanan episode? Is
II believed that his absence from the
country for the next four years would
strengthen his prospects for 1915?
Mr.. Buchanan, it will be remembered
was sent TO London by President Pierce
and remained until 1856. He was absent
during the turmoil over the Kansas
Nebraska BILL which crippled Judge
JnoI nd
escaped injury In 1856, prior to the
holding of the democratic national con-
vention, he resigned his office, came
home, and, without the smell of any OF
the latest party conflict on his garments.
secured the presidential nomination ana
was elected.
But there is as wide difference between
the two periods as between the two men.
There is no public question OF this day
that bites as did the slavery question OF
that day; and Mr.. Bryan no more re-
sembles Mr. Buchanan in disposition or
methods than a roaring cataract does
placid and elusive brook. The one man
is an uncompromising agitator, while the
other was a prince Of trimmers, as full
of compromise as an egg of meat. ana IN
the end fell victim of incertitude.
No. Mr. Bryan's place would appear to
be here at home. What is called Bryan
ism triumphed at Baltimore in the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Wilson, and expectation is
that it will triumph with Mr.. Wilson in
office. Why, therefore. should not the
author of the ism remain close by, and.
either in the cabinet, or as the party s
leader outside of office, lend hand when.
as 10 certain to occur the contest becomes
warm? Why a great battle. with Sheri-
dan twenty miles away?

Large Ideas.

Oh, do you know Gabson, the man. with
a mind
That works in manner untirin'?
When he gets it hooked up to his voice
you will find
Phenomena well worth admiring.
The why and the wherefore Of things here
below
He'll tell you with rapid precision;
OF mistakes made by men whom as he
roes we know,
He'll tell with mild, patient derision.
oh. Gabson himself often misses the train
Because of some miscalculation,
And his flyers in markets for railways or
grain
Have been subjects of sad contempla-
ton.
He is easy to cheat when they hand him
his change,
Yet freely his knowledge he scatters.
He's too busy with thoughts that are
lofty and strange
To be bothered with personal matters.

Congress Meeting Time.
From the New York World,

From the New York World.
Custom alone, and not the Constitution
or any design of the founders of the
government, puts thirteen months be-
tween the election of a Congress and it's
first regular session-between the voice
Of the people duly expressed and giving
it effect in regular order. The trainers
of the Constitution specified the first
Monday in December as the regular meet
ing time, unless Congress "shall by law
appoint a different day" But they coulo
have had no idea of how far beyond the
election this date would come to be when
the s.ates We're left with power to fix
the times of election in lack of action by
Congress. There is therefore nothing
sacred about the misarrangement that
exists. There is therefore nothing very
extraordinary about calling a Congress
in o extra session at the outset of its
term. Congress can readily change the
regular meeting day for the first session
from December to the March previous.
and it becomes a question whether this
should not be done.

The Killing of CanaIejas.

There is no positive evidence that the
assassination Of Premier Canalejas at
Madrid was the result of a conspiracy, al
though some arrests have been made of
men who are known as anarchists. The as
sassin seems to have acted solely as an
individual. although thus far nothing
definite has been ascertained as to his
connections. He has been traced through
Paris to Buenos Aires, but nothing has
been learned regarding his motives for
killing the prime minister. Canalejas was
the leader Of the anti-clerical party in
Spain, and in that connection had, Of
course. made many bitter enemies. The
assassination may have been due to the
feeling against him on the score of his
work in connection with the dissolution
of the concordat which bound the Span
ish government close to Rome. His en-
tire career, in fact, was inspired by his
desire to separate church and state, and it
is a remarkable fact that whereas once
the king looked upon him as a dangerous
man he afterward, in February, 1910. in
vited him to form a ministry. Canalejas
was a man of great vigor and undeniable
mental powers. The possessor Of ample
wealth. he devoted himself to public serv-
1t will be remembered that he came to
this country few months before the
Spanish-American war to learn the atti-
tude Of the American people and the ad-
mlnistration regarding the situation in
Cuba. 1t was suspected at the time that
he was actually here to offer financial
inducements to the Cuban insurgents to
cease their warfare against the Spanish
rule in the island. 1t is not at all sur
prising that man SO pronounced in his
views and so forceful in their advocacy
and execution should have excited MUIR
derous animosity. Ordinarily, however,
anarchists strike at reactionaries rather
than liberals of the Canalejas type. This
assassination shocks civilization and is a
further evidence that it still has long
way to go before reaching even approxi-
mate perfection. Human passions strike
viciously at eminent marks, and each such
killing of man who is giving himself
freely and conscientiously to the service
of his country is to be denounced as an
unforgivable crime.

The War Scare.
rom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The best evidence that could be asked
Of the genuinely pacific spirit of the
great powers of Europe Is to be dis
covered in the prompt fashion In which
the latest tension has relaxed. This i
the second time that Austro-Russian
differences have seemed to threaten a
general war. and again, as before. the
next friends of each" have intervened
to moderate dangerous zeal. The most
hopefu. element in the present situation
lies in the present attitude of France,
England and Germany. In all three
countries the governments and the people
are frankly opposed to war. Thus, up
to the present moment there has not
been any real interruption of friendly re-
lations, and on the initiative of NJ. Poin-
care the diplomacy of all three nations
has kept in touch. What is more essen
tial, mutual confidence has not been
shaken.
