THAT EXTRA SESSION.

The sentiment seems very general
among business men that President
| elect Wilson should announce at once
his intention with regard To the call
ing of an extra session of Congress
This is something apparently that the
president elect has no intention in DO
ing. Indeed he declares that he has
expressed no opinion on the subject.
Further than that, he says that his
friends have a right 10 express their
opinions, but not TO say what his opin-
ion is, as at the present time he has
not allowed himself 10 form one. Il
have trained myself during my term
as governor he declares, not 10 an
ucipate my opinions" Evidently the
business men who want TO know what
is coming viii have 10 wait.
There win be criticism of the presi-
dent-eIect on account Of his avowal
that he has no opinion as to whether
or not he should call an extra ses-
sion. but there would be criticism if
he should say that his programme was
formed and should announce it to-
morrow. Those who want an extra
session would break loose against him
in case he declared his mind made up
against it; those opposed to the plan
would cry out in disapproval if he
said he had determined in its favor.
His non committal policy of course
will keep the country in suspense, and
suspense is a thing that business
breads and hates; but after all, should
the suspense be greater in the four
and one half months between now and
his prospective inauguration than it
has been during the period of cam
paigning preceding the election, in
which business halted less than is
usual in presidential years?
If the answer to this question be
Yes" there can be only one reason
for it, and that is instructive dread
OF the Democratic party's attitude to-
ward the tariff Before the election
there was a large element of the pop
ulation that doubted Democratic sue
cess. Now il is realized that Demo-
Gratis have not only the presidency
hut the House of Representatives. and
chance Of controlling the Senate.
Many a man in the place of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson would have an
opinion and be ready to announce IT,
However, the president-elect is with
in his right in keeping still He is
governor of New Jersey now. He will
not be president of the United states
till the 4th of next March. Technical
~ he is under no obligation to say
what he will do as president until he
becomes president.
