GOVERNOR WILSON HAS
Definite POLICY.

Trenton correspondence of the New
York Times: The flood Of comment
that has been unloosed by the pre-
sentation to the legislature of Cover
nor Wilson's seven antitrust bills
furnishes another illustration of what
seems to be a general miscOnception
Of the governors methods. 1t may
help to clear up the situation a lit
tie II this misconception is removed.
Il Is one which is sure to cause mis-
leading comment on everything he
does and says after he becomes pres
ident unless it is removed as soon as
possible.
The prevailing note in the comment
on the seven sisters" as the COVER
nor calls the bills, was one of Sur
prise that he should be so very def
mite all of a sudden after being so
very vague and indefinite in the
speeches he has delivered since cleo
ton day. Bitter complaint was made
after these speeches-the ones made
at StauntOn, Chicago and Trenton
because he uttered only generalities
and did not lay down a specific pro-
gram. 1t was argued that the coun-
try'had right to know just what it
mad to expect from him, and that in
stead of letting it know he content
himself with vague pronunciamentos
that seemed to conceal threats. Then
came the seven sisters" and the
tone of the comment was one Of stu
pificatiOn over his extreme definite
ness.
II the country is to get along COM
tortably under President Wilson's ad-
ministration it should get acquainted
with his methods as early as posi-
Die. He intends to be perfectly clear
and definite at the right time and
place, and he does not regard a din
ner table as the place. He does re.
gard an official communication as the
place.
The country will look in vain. I'm.
DER Governor Wilson's administra-
ton, for any formal programs tossed
Off at banquets custom much in
vogue under the past two administra-
tons. 1t is not likely to get them,
either in letters nominally addressed
TO some intimate friend and actually
given to the press before the intimat
friend gets them through the mails.
1t is more likely to get them in spe,
eial messages to congress than in any
other way. Il will then be found
mat the new president can be def
mite and precise enough.

His conception of the uses of after
dinner speeches differ from that of
his two immediate predecessors. In
them he lays down a general line of
thought, reserving specifications to
be made through a more formal me-
dunn. To his friends here it seems
that in the trilogy of speeches refer
red to he specifies the general aim
of his administration definitely enough
and that was all he was willing to do
or ever will be willing to do in an
after-dinner speech. That his plans
are definiteness itself was shown in
the seven sisters" and will be shoWr
again after the 4th of March, but on.
ly in official communications.
This is a reversion of methods that
prevailed before President Roose.
velt's time. Roosevelt availed him.
self of every method that came to
hand when he wanted to get his
plans before the public. President
Taft has gone much further, making
more of his announcements of policy
in casual and unofficial speeches thar
ne has made in any other way. The
country has grown accustomed to it,
but it does not fit in with Governor
Wilson's idea.
The three speeches referred to
have been taken together as one
speech, which, indeed they are, and
as constituting a sudden threat to
business. But there was an earlier
one which should be ranked as the
first chapter in the series, and the
only reason why it has not been so
ranked is because its purport was not
as clearly understood as that of the
subsequent ones has been.
That was the one he delivered il
New York just after he returned
from Bermuda, the only other speech
ne has delivered since election. 1t
was the speech in which he talked
Of building a gibbet higher than Ha.
mans for anyone who started a pan
ic. The misunderstanding of that
speech extended so far in some quar-
tiers it was actually interpreted as a
threat to the progressive element in
congress, while the most common mis-
conception was that it was a glitter
Ing generality intended to make
everybody feel comfortable without
really threatening anybody.
But it was Chapter in the list of
four speeches declaring the general
aim Of his administration. Then came
the Stanton speech, in which he
warned business that it could not re-
gard its wealth as gained for irres-
Ponsible use, and it began to be per-
ceived that the president-elect was

not talking mere platitudes, but was
foreshadowing a policy.
The Chicago speech followed, with
its warning to business that reform
must come with the plea that bust
ness should help and not hinder. and
there was a burst of bewildered an.
ger. The Trenton speech came two

was complete. Governor Wilson will

WEBB BILL PASSED OVER VETO.
Senate Doesn't Hear Understands
Opinion on constltuity, but Votes
So to 81 For Bill.

/ washington, Feb. 2S,-The Webb
liquor bill prohibiting the shipment
OF liquor into dry states was repassed
in the senate today over President
rats veto within two hours from
the time the presidents message Of
dlsapproval had been laid before that
body. A short debate in which the
advocates of the bill voted down a
motion to postpone action until TO-
morrow and in which they are re-af-
firmed their belief that the measure
is constitutional ended with the pas
sage of the bill by the large majority
of SO to q.
The Webb bill passed both houses
OF congress and went to the president
two weeks ago. His veto message
reached the senate about 8 O'Clock
today, accompanied by an opinion
from Attorney General Wickersham.
Basing his decision upon the attorney
generals findings the president ex-
pressed the belief that the measure
was clearly unconstitutional because
it gave the states the right to inter-
fere with interstate commerce.
Didn't Even Read Opinion.
The senate took up the bill at
once. Attorney General Wickersham'
opinion was not read and Senator
Kern asked that new vote on the
overriding Of the veto be delayed un-
til tomorrow, so senators might have
the opportunity to examine the attor.
ney generals arguments.
A motion made by Mr.. Kern to
postpone the vote until II O'Clock to-
morrow was defeated II to 8.
Senator McCumber declared both
the president and attorney general
had misconstrued the grounds upon
which congress had passed the prohi-
bition law.
How They Voted.
He said 1t had not attempted to
give the states the right to interfere
with commerce but simply had declar
ed liquor an OUTLAW" and had then
prescribed conditions upon which it
might enter interstate commerce
Senator Kenyon also briefly urged
the repassage Of the bill, while Sen
ators Paynter and Percy advocated
support of President Taft's veto.
The vote follows:

Washington, March by a vote
Of 244 to IS the House today repass-
ed over President Taft's veto, the
Webb bill, prohibiting shipments cf
Intoxicating liquors into dry" states.
Only one other time in the last fif-
teen years has Congress overridden
presidents veto. That was when
the Rainey River Ram Bill was pass
ed over President Roosevelt,s disap-
proval.
Afraid Of States Rights.
President Taft based his veto al.
most entirely upon the ground that
the bill was unconstitutional in that
1t virtually delegated to the states
control of interstate traffic in liquor
when, he held, that control was vest.
ed solely in Congress.
Attorney General Wickersham had
given an opinion also holding the bill
unconstitutional and that the presi-
dent forwarded to the senate yester-
day with his veto message.
The senate repassed the bill
promptly last night and early today
the house leaders favoring the meas
ure, led by Representative Clayton,
chairman of the judiciary committee
and Representative Webb, one of its
trainers, began working for an imme-
date repassage. Debate was limited
and the house passed the bill with
wide margin over the necessary
two-thirds vote, as the senate had
done.
Supporters Of the bill say it will
make effective the prohibition laws
of dry" states, which, they say, now
are violated because intoxicants are
shipped to private individuals and
have the effect of multiplying the 10
cal laws.
Kansas Urged Its Passage.
Topeka, March 1.-The members Of
the Kansas delegation in congress
were urged today to pass the Webb
Bill over the veto of President Taft
Governor Hodges sent the follow
ing telegram to each member of the
Kansas delegation today:
The Kansas legislature by concur
rent resolution has declared that the
Webb bill meets the demands Of the
people of Kansas. l urge each one
of you to respond to the Kansas sen
timent and pass the measure over
the Presidents veto.
