oNLY HOPE is lN WILSON
To Him Alone Can People Look for
Serious Effort to Reduce Cost
Of Living.

AS the campaign progresses, 1t be-
comes plain that Gov. Wilson is the
only presidential candidate to whom
the country can look for serious eff
Tort to reduce the high cost Of liv-
ing.
President Taft, who was born rich.
approaches this question only to ex-
plstn why the high cost OF living must
remain high. He does not understand
what high prices mean to poor peo-
pie, and It is hopeless to try to teach
him.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who also was born
rich. is interested in wars and rumors
of wars, in grand stand plays. In spec
taculnr denunciations, and most of ali.
in himself. If elected-which he Will
not be-he would probably raise the
cost of living by his wide extraya-
gance.
Governor Wilson alone has given
careful thought to this most press
ing problem of the day.
Governor Wilson sees that needless
ly high tariff duties raise the price OF
the articles on which they are levied
by approximately the amount OF the
duty. He calls for revision of the
tariff downward, steadily and unhes-
itatingly downward"
Governor Wilson sees that in the
shade of the tariff the trusts gather
ed to exploit the people. He would
not only cut down the trust protecting
shade; but he would invoke the law,
fearlessly and without favor. to break

assumed the right to fix the high cost
OF living by private agreement"
Only by the election of Governor VIII
son and the triumph OF the principles
of which he is the exponent, can the
burden of high prices be lifted from
the shoulders of the American people.

What Wilson Promises.

We may expect readjustment, but
not revolution. That is the keynote
of the whole-"a new point of view
and a new method and spirit of coun-
sell" but no excited change" Gov
ernor Wilson Is for meeting the
changed conditions Of our life candid
ly. and with new laws-radical laws.
II you please-but not with new and
strange form Of government.
We may expect the one great re-
form we have fully discussed and re-
solved on-tariff revision downward
made. indeed, without vindlctiveness
or violence; but, nevertheless. "un-
hesitatingly and steadily downward"
We may expect a policy with the
trusts and other great Industrial COM
binations and confederacies equally
firm for Justice yet equally free from
any impulse OF mere destructiveness;
laws to prevent and punish unfairness
and wrongdoing. but none against
mere bigness. none to arrest the natu-
raj course of economic development.
We may expect conservative pol
icy which will conserve without mere
boarding; which will prevent waste
but peFmit and encourage the proper
use of 1t.
We may expect a revision OF our
laws Of currency and banking, to
make our system more elastic. more
modern and scientific. and more re-
sponsive to all the needs of business
We may expect. II we ourselves
have the virtue to play our part In
the change. the proper working of
representative government-the true
rule of the people" through public
servants brought again into right
sense OF loyalty to the entire public
And in the highest place of all. we
may expect leadership at once res
olute and entirely democratic; ready
to learn and to be advised. but OF good
faith and courage; leadership by
consent and counsel. but nevertheless
an authoritative and fearless spokes-
snanship of the people.
That is what we understand Gov
ernor Wilson to have resolved and
promised when he accepted the NOM
ination for the presidency and the
headship of his party.-Harper's
Weekly.
