their own faculties that have the same
authority with relation to the entire

the other term of designation. "Ames

The New leadership.

II the Wilson idea of leadership is car
ried TO its logical conclusion IL win come
TO this: Presidential recommendations to
Congress will be accompanied by bills
prepared at the White House, or under
the Presidents direction, putting his
views into concrete form for the guild
ance OF the hitherto called lawmakers.
This was not done in the matter of
either the tariff or the currency. He fol-
lowed the old proceeding as to them. The
House was permitted to shape and the
Senate to amend the tariff bill, although
Mr.. Wilson had the deciding say as con-
troyersies arose. AS TO the currency
Mr.. Glass was permitted to attach his
name to the House bill. and Mr.. Owen
is striving 10 attach his to the Senate's
amendments.
But IN the work that is 10 come-the
work Of the regular session-Mr. Wilson
should set the new style for fair. Let
him supplement his antitrust views with
9 bill, his adequate navy" views with a
bill, his conservation views with bill,
his Philippine views with date named
for ending American control of the
iSlsnds.Sand SO on Then those bills can
