The New President

Woodrow Wilson now bears the
title of President Wilson, a title
awarded him by the largest elector-
al vote in recent history. He as
sumed the duties of his Office yester.
day with high purposes and unQues-
toned honesty. These things augul
we'll for the welfare of the country
but one may we'll question whether
or not the new president yet realiz-
es the magnitude of the task he has
undertaken. Three great legisla.
tive PROBLEMS are before the
country, the revision of the tariff,
the improvement of our currency
system and regulation of trusts. In
addition to this are the great ad-
ministrative tasks, the apportion-
ment of federal patronage, the
South American policy and the
Mexican crisis. Few Presidents
have entered into office with greater
or more important problems before
them than Pres. Wilson. Yet he
SCI fCQ dS SONGIllOL Vi 4NGM J0ISGs
and was engaged in tasks that re-
quired all his power clear up to the
eve of assuming his national office.
He is credited with plans to take
a closer interest IN the legislative
work of the government and to pui
the vice president into his cabinet,
and otherwise increase the response
bility of himself and other admins
trative officers.
One of two things is certain,
either Woodrow Wilson is the great
est man who ever assumed the
presidency or else he does not real
ize the magnitude of the work befor
him. If the first statement be the
fact we have little to fear, if the
latter states the truth both Pres.
Wilson and the country will suffer
We hope experience will prove he
has made no mistake.

Exit Pres. Taft

Yesterday w. III. Taft laid down
the duties connected with the high
Office of president of the United
States and became for the first time
in years a private citizen. Doubtless
his work as a public official is fin
ished unless he should be called to
the bench of the supreme court.
The country has more to regret in
the change than Mr.. Taft. 1t has
lost a man who through years of
responsible service has never wav-
cred from the rule of honesty. He
has through mistaken judgment
done acts of questionable wisdom
and has often failed to do the politi,
thing but he has never committed
a dishonest act. He has accomplish
ed much constructive work In
the Philippines he assisted in the
establishment OF government and
in the White House he has support
ed and promoted the passage of
many laws that win guide the coun-
try for years in the promotion OF
public welfare. He has advocated
many other constructive acts that
some day will find place on the
statute books His advocacy Of a
tariff commission, of efficiency in
the conduct of government bust
ness and the establishment of a ma
tional budget, will some day be

Here is an excerpt from the las

to expect he will not be perniciously

st. Johnsbury Woman's Club

The observance of the twenty
first anniversary of the organiza-
ton of the st. Johnsbury WOman's
Club yesterday was not only a dem
onstration of past achievement but
showed the existence of a large, in
fuential and progressive Organiza-
ton that promises to use it's later
requirements for even greater use
fulness to the town.
The club was formed at the invi-
tation of the st. Johnsbury Board
of Trade, which at that time was an
active organization, and in 1898 it
Joined the national federation. In
1896 it took the initiative in organ
izing a State Federation of Women's
Clubs. The first meeting was held
here and a st. Jonhsbury woman
was made the first president. This
organization now so large and influ-
entail is to meet with the St. Johns
bury Club in June.
The engaging of a district nurse,

ing of a woman on the state pena

Minnie Hazen of this village) a re-
vision of the village charter, the
establishment of drinking fountains,
placing lawn seats in the parks, the
cleaning of the streets and a getting
together of the women from all sec.
tions of the town are some of the
earlier accomplishments of the club
The purchase of a club house is
the latest and to our mind one of
the most important undertakings o
the club. Townspeople are familia
with it but do not fully understand
the good work that is being done
there in the classes for sewing anC
domestic science. 1t gives any young
lady DESTROYS of improving her con
dition or charging her capabilities
an opportunity to learn things that
will always be useful to her as a
woman. 1t affords the young ladies
a place to meet where the influence
is purifying and uplifting. The resi-
room for strange women temporari- !
ly in town is also a great comfort tc
them.
So on it's twenty-first birthday |
the st. Johnsbury Woman's Club
can boast of an honorable and use

greater facilities for carrying on it,

all the women of the village inter

the promise of future brighter

of the town join in the wish of long
life and increased influence for the

We wish to emphasize the state
ment of DR.. w. J. Aldrich and some
of the state papers that so long as
Vermont continues to send inexper-
fenced men to each session of the
legislature we shall have long and
expensive sessions. People should
realize this now and while the re-
cord of their representative is fresh
in mind decide whether they cannot
do themselves and the state valu-
able service by returning him two
years hence. If his record is not
good it is none too early to think
who in your town is qualified to
give a service that would justify re-
election and experienced effort.

MORE LIGHT ON
SOUTH MAIN STREET
Mr.. Myers Thinks This but Just
Favors Boulevard Idea-Makes
Plea for Harmony.

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
am a taxpayer and an humble citi-
zen of Bryan. have never asked any
thing of the city government. do
think that we South Main street prop
erty owners should have the same
conveniences that others have on
Main street. We need lights extended
as far as the |. & G. N. depot. This
should be done at once, if the city is
able to afford it.
| am heartily in accord with the
editor in advocating the Main street
boulevard. This boulevard would be
quite saving in paving and if prop
erly put in shape would beautify our
Main street. Now, remember | have
no axes to grind in this matter; all |
ask is fair play l am for a more
beautiful Bryan, united citizenship,
all working for the advancement of
not only the city but the county.

MARSHALL WOULD
co BACK To 1846
Vice President-Elect's Solution of
Tariff Problem Found in the
Old Fashioned Competition.
[By Associated Press.l

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 1--we
must go back to the tariff of 1916 for
solution of our tariff problem" said
Vice President-elect Marshall here
yesterday on his way to Arizona
We've got to get back to the time
when the people of the country had
equal opportunities, back to the time
when there was old-fashioned competi-
ton, old-fashioned rewards of com:
Portable living and tranquil old age
for labor.
IF / know Ir Wilson and the old
fashioned Democracy, they propose to
go bac6 to first principles. We pro-
pose frst to go back to a constitu-
tional tariff. The tariff has corrupted
this country more than anything else
1t has corrupted good men and made
bad men worse.
Il don't care how good a man is,
give him tariff at the expense of his
neighbor and you weaken his moral
fiber. In little while he can see no
wrong in buying a franchise from a
City Council"

A ST. Louis minister has declined a
call to New York. That was about as
hard choice as minister could be
called upon to make, and no doubt he
had difficulty in reaching the conclu-
sion that it was best to endure the
ills with which he was familiar than
to fly to the horrors with which he
was unacquainted.-Ho Post.
OF course the editor of the Post
knew, but seems to have overlooked
the fact that ministers who are called
to pastorates, go where the Lord di-
reefs. In His mercy the Lord no doubt
told the st. Louis brother to stay
where he was.

The Palestine Daily Herald remarks
that "a Katy switch engine at Deni-
son knocked a deaf mute from the
tracks. This feat is duplicated quite
frequently, and the wonder is that a
man who can not hear a lannon's roar
will persist on walking railroad tracks.
This is as much an unanswerable
problem as why some people continue
to pour kerosene onto a smouldering
fire to make it burn. 1t is true that
the deaf mute who walks the tracks
and the man or woman who pours oil
on the fire are usually killed; but the
very next day there are others doing
the same things"

The National government and the
State governments are awakening to
the Importance of agriculture and are
lending every aid and assistance to
the betterment of this great industry
The Eagle is also glad to note that
the farmers, who have heretofore
claimed to have a monopoly on farm
ing knowledge, are beginning to real
ize that there is something in book
farming" after all. The whole country
is awakening and there is brighter
day coming for agriculture.

If Governor Colquitt had appointed
Cullen Thomas, or some other able
Texan, other than friend of Senator
Bailey, to the short term senatorship,
would there have been an effort on the
part of the crowd who are trying to
supersede Colonel Johnston with Nor
ris Sheppard, to have put him out and
Sheppard in? No. You would never
have heard a whimper from one of
the bunch. It's the same old fight.

The Eagle congratulates Judge Ma
loney and the Commissioners Court
on their plan to have the road over
seers OF the county, and as many
others as they can get, to meet with
them for consultation on the road
question. Such meeting will bring
about a better understanding between
those who are responsible for the
roads, and an exchange of ideas and
experiences can not help but result
in great good.
