Not Exactly Academic.
From the Boston Transcrnt

FROM the Boston Transcript.
The speech of acceptance by Gov. Wood
ro" wilson Is most peculiar document
In many ways. Used as newspaper read
ers are to the solid strength of President
Taft and the bold periods of Mr.. Roose-
Welt, the manner of Wilson's speech
strikes them oddly. It's keynote is the
gentle, polite and delicate. There is little
OF the virilc about it. 1t reads like a
schoolmaster's talk to pupils or fellow
teachers. 1t isn't exactly academic
which phrase would curse it too much
but it is not forensic. 1t is decidedly un-
usual in a public address and does not
read like Wilson's previous addresses.
This SO far as the manner is concerned
Nor Is the matter as straightforward and
emphatic as one could wish. The radical
ism OF 1t is restrained and would not
hurt anybody very much There. is no

Waking Up.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

Woodrow Wilson's acceptance address
shows that he recognizes the stage which
has been reached by the new democratic
movement in American society and knows
the kind of leadership it demands. A
decade ago the American people needed to
be awakened to the facts of social in
justice. to the entertainments of privilege
and the disuse of certain powers of free
government. Now, waking up is not a
logical process: it is rather a physical
one; an alarm clock is better than a rea-
son. Courage and right sympathy were
the great requisites. The work has been
done. and done well. The people are
awake. They are demanding an end Of
ancient wrongs. of the kind of oppor-
tunity for the few that means the
wronging of the many. They have out
grown leadership which-like that of
Theodore Roosevelt in his younger and
better days-simply denounces and pro-
claims.

provided his thought is not nasty.
Anyhow. my religious. political, social.
and philosophical program is wide enough
for anything except dirt.
Being clean is not a matter of money

Cleanliness can of course be carried to

goodness. The Italians have a proverb

CANAL BILL AMENDMENT
FAVORED BY mr.. NACEL
Would Admit to U. S. Registry
Aforementioned Ships
Built Abroad.

The Senates amendment to the Panama
canal bill to admit to United States reg
istry American-owned foreign-built ships
engaged in foreign trade only. and pass
them through the Panama canal free of
tolls, in all proba bility will receive no
opposition from the administration.
Secretary Nagel is committed to the
idea. In his last annual report he recon-
mended the passage of a bill for, the ad-
mission Of foreign-built ocean steamships
to American registry to engage solely in
foreign trade. This, he believed, would
be the beginning of an American mer-
chant marine. extending shipping under
the United States flag in trade with
South and Central America and the West
Indies.
Effect of Provision.
The provision. it is said, probably would
not affect transatlantic and transatlantic
commerce, as there would be no incentive
for such ships to assume the obligations
of American registry. The right OF free
passage through the canal. however. it
is said today by officials Of the Depart
ment OF Commerce and Labor, probably
would bring all the lines engaged in
traffic between the countries of the west
ern hemisphere. but flying foreign 6ags,
under the Stars and Stripes.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS
ON GOV. WILSON'S SPEECH

cratic candidate goes farther than Col.
Roosevelt, and there he ventures upon
the most dangerous ground which he has
taken in any part of his formal address
to the country. Nearly all Of the New
Jersey governors program is vague
enough to be adjusted to meet almost
any conditions. 1t does not commit HIM
to extreme or alarming doctrines. because
it can be interpreted in various ways
when actual legislation to work out Its
ideas is considered. But on the tariff
there can be no doubt that Wilson aims
at general and emphatically downward
changes. 1t is fair to assume that he
would not wait for expert investigation
, OF conditions here and in Europe, but
would urge immediate legislation.
