Only Enemies Alienated.

The average, everyday man has no
cause to get excited. Wilson has not
hurt any friend of his, nor is any friend
Of his joining in the hubbub against
Wilson. Just as we'll be calm. So far
as anybody can see, the only people
alienated from the New Jersey COVER
nor by these incidents were those who
were not for him in the first place.
Most of the real Wilson men said he
had been strengthened.
So much for the Carnegie pension,
the cooked hat" and "Marse Henry"
These bombs have been exploded, and
the net result is that the Woodrow
Wilson boom for the presidency has
been given a vast deal of publicity;
also that there is no smell Of Wall
street anywhere about it. Some peo~
pie had their doubts before.
One feature of the psychology of
Governor Wilson must be realized be-
and his principles can be taken. Per-
haps as clearly as any man now prom
inent he differentiates between public
and private. With his logical mind
and his thorough training in political
economy he sees the danger of patron
age, special privilege and partiality in
government. He is not the sort of
man who would permit private friend
ship to stand in the way Of public
duty. The president of the United
States as president should have nc
friends to reward, no enemies to pun
ish. Favoritism has a brood Of evil
following after. Any special interest
In public affairs smacks of treason.
Woodrow Wilson believes that big
business should get out Of politics
That is the reason big business is at
lacking him. he thinks the only legit
innate function of a tax is to raise
revenue. He is convinced that the
system of patronage and favoritism
has alienated the government of the
republic from the people, and through
the initiative. referendum, recall, di
rect primaries, election reforms, pop

mea s,1res he rvOn1d restore If tn them

Mountain Beside Molehills,

You see. when one gets past all the
believing about these incidents and
calmly analyses them there is not so
much to them after all. But the fact
that the New Jersey governor is the
most progressive OF the Democratic
candidates grows bigger the more it is
considered. COMPARED to these other
things it is mountain beside mole
hills.
Lincoln once said that 1t was easy to
pick out the best apple tree because it

the Harvey Wilson break-involved a
betrayal Of confidence.
That one big fact standing out ct
ali the muck is that Governor Wilson
vc4ld not accept the money of Thomas
F. Ryan.
Moreover, there is possibility that
because of the source. the bitterneTS
and the methods of these assaults,
coupled with Governor Wilson's silent
endurance of them, they may cause a
revulsion Of public sympathy in his
favor. 1t is also possible that his foes
shot their big guns too soon, Their
ammunition is now gone, and the con-
vention is still months away.
Clearing the ground of nonessentials
and trivialities, the really big things
remain as before. The foremost fact
regarding the Wilson candidacy is that
be is the most progressive of the Dem
Ocratic candidates. This being So he
could probably poll the largest progress
sive Republican vote. Here is the one
essential factor that in the end will
probably outweigh all the minor con-
siderations None of these affairs over
which such a tumult has been created
B. supremacy important in itself.
What if Governor Wilson did say five
years ago that Colonel Bryan should be
knocked into a cooked hat?" Bryan
apparently does not resent it. Why
should any one else?
What if he did tell Colonel George
Harvey that the advocacy Of Harper's
Weekly was hurting his candidacy
Harvey asked him, didn't he? And
Wilson told him the truth.
! What if he did apply for teachers

-atlon tor the uncertainties of politics.
Why should he not seek to protect his
family?

are behind and not allowed to take their
mother tongue.
Supt. F. B. Dyer Of Cincinnati, who
declined the offer of the superintendency
OF the Pittsburg schools at salary of
$4,000 a year, writes: "Our experience
IN Cincinnati, I think, would justify the
contention that foreign language is
valuable for its cultural purposes as
we'll as for it's practical use."
Mr.. Peter Scherer, Director of German
In the Indianapolis schools, writes:
For years we have used in our schools,
both elementary and high schools, the
direct or analytical-inductive method
with great success. Pupils who salts
factorily complete the German course in
the elementary schools receive one high
school credit which counts toward grad

their German in a special group. All
recitations from the End to the 18th
grade are conducted in German"

afraid to do so, because he knows
that his taxes would go sk~allyhooting
