as public opinion mounted the
stage, took charge of the pro-
ceedings. waved an enchanter's
wand and behold the nominee
was Wilson and not Clark.
There really seemed to be some
magic about it. Clark support
ers mounted the wooden stairs,
passed through the doors of the
hall, and once inside, found
themselves shouting for Wilson.
Clark applause was started and
soon found itself part Of a Viii.
son demonstration. Out of dele
cations that seemed solid as
granite for the Missourian
sprang up men demanding a roll
call in order that the friends of
the New Jersey man therein
might place themselves on re-
cord. Rarely, if ever, in the
history of our national conven-
ton has there been such a splen-
did and inspiring illustration of
the contagious quality of a moral
conviction. The people wanted
Wilson and they made their
wishes known.
''Broad-based upon the peo-
pies will" We like that line and
thought of Tennyson's. AS long

flied by the whole people at the
general elections, so long will
this treasured Government Of

A One Man Government.

Colonel Roosevelt, after his
vociferous prayers for the protec-
ton of the plain man against
predatory wealth, now criticises
the Democratic platform plank
calling for the enforcement Of
the antitrust laws. The Colonel
says that "only by strong admin
istrative control, exercised
through the national government
could the problem be handled
rightly"
In other words, the Colonel
believes that he as President
should have the right to deal per-
sonalIy with the trusts, to decide
which are good and which are
bad trusts. which should be
prosecuted and which should not
be molested, which should be
permitted to expand and W hi"h
should be compelled to pare
down; all in obedience to the in
dividual views of the President
and in disregard of the statutory
provisions on the subject and the
interpretations Of the law by the
courts, That is what the Colo
mel means by Strong admins
trative control. "
For once, the Colonel is con-
sistent. Here at least he sticks
to my policies, " When Presi-
dent he ordered a rigid prosecu-
ton of the Standard Oil Com
pany when that group Of capital
lists declined to trot along with
him any farther and turned a
deaf ear to the campaign collect
ors; while in the same breath he
authorized the absorption by the
steel trust of its strongest compe-
titor, the steel trust being con-
trolled by "the great Morgan in
terests, which have been so fri
endly to US" Here we had
in practice the coIonePs idea of
rightly" handling the trust
problem by strong adminislra-
tive control"

The Rule of the People.

The Baltimore Sun says Of the
result of the Democratic national
convention:
OF all the good things that can
be said of the Democratic con-
ventjon and its outcome, the
chief is this, that the people
ruled there.
The people did not rule at Chi
cago; they did rule at Baltimore.
The onrush Of the Wilson SEN
timent was an amazing thing to
watch. Champ Clark came to
this city with a far larger num-
Der of delegates than that to the
credit Of any Of his opponents.
The politicians, the bosses, the
men whose word is politics has
been supposed to be law, were
all on his side They are the
strategists, they the master tao
ticians, they the men who know
how to turn defeat into victory.
Yet here at Baltimore the victors
in their hands was turned into
defeat. That impalpable, uncer

The Public Health Service Per.
sonnet Bill.

A bill Is. 2l17) is now pending
in Congress which has for its
purpose placing the pay of the
physicians of the Public Health
Service more nearly on an equal
ity with that of the other gov
eminent medical services. This
legislation has met with many
vicissitudes during the last few
years. At different times it has
been passed, in one form or an
other, by one house of congress,
always however, to be lost in the
other house, or in conference.
After its passage in the House of
Representatives last year, with
an overwhelming majority, it
was prevented from coming to a
vote in the Senate, although a
large majority Of the latter body
was favorable to it; the only OBJ
lection offered was that the mea-
sure contained provisions for en-
Laying the functions of the SER
vice, a feature which some stated
might delay the establishment of
a new Department Of Health.
Notwithstanding the practical
unanimity of opinion, not only as
to the justice but as to the nee
essity Of this legislation, Difficult
ties are still being placed in the
way of its passage. 1t has for
the third time unanimously passed
the Senate. 1t was brought up
in the House of Representative a
short time ago under the 'unan-
imous consent rule; and the
only objection raised to its pas
sage was in relation to function,
Messrs. Foster and Mann insist
ing that the bill should contain
the same provision for enlarginq
the function of the service as
were contained in the Mann bill,
which passed the House last year
the very feature which caused
the failure of the measure il
the Senate. Thus between those
in the House who oppose i'm
creased pay without increased
function, and those i'm the Senate
who oppose increased pay bill
with the only form of increased
function which Congress hal
shown a willingness to grant, thu
