A Nice Dfstinction.

1t is told that the famous photographer.
Noah Webster, invited several gentlemen
to spend the evening with him at a time
when Mrs. Webster happened to be away
on visit. At rather late hour Mr..
Webster and his friends were enjoying q

Mr.. WILSON'S APOLOGY.
Afraid to Publish What He Said About
Union Labor and Immigrants.

Afraid to Publish What He Said About
Union Labor and Immigrants.
The so called Wilson defense bureau
has issued a long statement to the
effect that Woodrow Wilson's publish
ed opinions in his books on the alleged
inferiority of European immigrants
and American workingmen generally
to the Chinese and favoring Chinese
immigration. etc. have been "misin-
terpreted"
There is one ready and complete re-
ply to misinterpretation, and that is to
republish what Wilson said to let
him speak for himself. This the Will
son defense bureau of the Democratic
national committee carefully refrains
from doing, and neither Wilson nor his
Rpologists. therefore, can blame Amer
lean workingmen In general and Euro
pean immigrants in particular for con-
Guiding that Wilson meant just what
his language meant when be expressed
his bad opinion of trades unions and
his preference for Chinese over Euro
peans.

Is something to be followed with some
degree Of fidelity. A platform. in the
lexicon of the Democratic candidate,
is flexible thing. not to be taken too
seriously. but to be bent and altered
to meet the demands Of the moment
No program for the candidate. A nice
adaptable platform is good enough for
him.
In all fairness and In all decency,
however. Or. Wilson should not be
permitted to evade a discussion Of the
Issue he brought forward as the Inn
portant one early in his campaign.
His campaign manager refused a chal-
lenge for joint debate between Re-
publican and Democratic speakers on
the tariff. ard the candidate might dis
claim personal responsibility for that
but certainly DR.. Wilson cannot avoid
responsibility for his own words anS
his own arguments. The fact that he
found his audiences totally out Of SYM
