banking law better than ever before IN the
earlier history Of the country. He contemplated
also the general tariff revision which has pc
come the law and has now various other 1aVor-
tie schemes Reconsideration that ne hopes
to successfully carry out during his term. IN
this he has not consulted congress or en-
deavored to secure information from them, put
from the beginning has been directing CONGRESS
what it should do with an implication Inferred
ct least. although perhaps not definitely stated,
that punishment would fall on the shoulders OF
al of those who opposed his measures. In otfer
words. Woodrow Wilson, elected president Oh
the United States by the minority OF the elect
ors. has denied fair play to the two wings OF me
republican party in congress who stand ~ W
@nosition to the democrats, and the legls'atlon
thus far had has been accomplished lii caucus
and in the democratic sections OF the various
committees which committees, according 10 1ne
constitution must report on every bill thai Is
nassed bv congress. In this manner woodrow
Wilson has thus far in his administrator prac'-
ically refused to consider the majority OF the
American people so far as they have expressed
their wants in their election OF members OF con-
gress, and has mercilessly carried his views
through although, they were first OF all the
views Of a minority president and secondly
were forced through his own minority by tne
weight &C his personal direction il not by the
implication of unpleasant political results TO po-
litical adhereats of his " party. The course
Of Woodrow Wilson during this first year OF
his administration has been dictatorlal IN the
EXTREMIST degree and we quote the words OF
GEORGE Alger in his recently published book on
.sThe ldLaw and the New Order in which he
saws that the president exercises a power To-
day over the affairs of the nation which neither
congress nor the people would have tolerated III

So much for our democratic government OF

consciously or unconsciously, has become a dc
