it is built upon knowledge.
Such knowledge is power. and sucn
power when properly exercised means
peace and prosperity.
The Presidents annual address to
Congress is most inspiring. 1t heart
ems, it animates-it soOthes. Mr..
Wilson inspires a belief that brings
it spells confidence with
a capital c.
The most impressive thing about
the address is the note that pervades
it and yet is not put in words. AS we
read il it carries to the country n
information that the task Of making
over III nation" SO far as the pocket
book of the investor is concerned, Is
we'll nigh through its first stage. The
tariff has been revised and there has
been no panic. The goose and the
roast beef still hang high. but all
honest effort has beef made to cut
off surplus protection and enable the
to buy more cheaply from
foreign competitors if the foreign
competitors will so sell. Then the
prosperous have been made to bear
their share Of the expenses OF govern
ment by the imposition of an income
tax. In addition to this, the currency
system is about to be changed, and
few DOUBT the eventual passage OIL Il
wisely constructed measure with the
minimum of delay.
Broadly speaking there remain only
the necessary amendments to the an
THRUST law, but e are not likely to
be very radical. The President will
pursue this question before Congress
and make it the subject of a subse-
quent address, but he has written the
message exactly as a trained mariner
would navigate his ship with an eye
upon the barometer.
It is therefore to the spirit OF the
message more than to the matter that
the country may look for reinsurance.
Coincidentally, going to outside
saurces, we find those who most We
hemently melted the President in his
efforts against capital now advocating
the shortening Of sail.
We would lot say the President is
shortening sail. We should say that
he is preparing to lower sail. to drop
anchor in a safe harbOr at the end OF
the first successful vOyage.-New

Progress.

The strength and elegance of ex-
preston which the President pos
sesses in so rare a degree mark his
message to Congress delivered yester-
day, as they have marked all his ut
terances. The distinguishing thing in
the message is the recognition running
through it hat the country must be
progressive. The message carries its
appeal directly to forward looking

generally to get them at second mana
from conversations and CONVERSATIONS
But Mr.. Wilson's message of yesterday
forms part Of the agreeable readlne
of the day. and will be perused as a
pleasure. and not merely as a duty by
those who desire to keep up with the
current events. One reason is TO be
found in the charm of its style, which
is attractive, without being preten-
tious, and strong without being meio-
dramatic. Another is found in the
good judgment which singled out for
comment only questions of larger i'm
portance and omitted the multitude
Of tedious details with which it had
become the fashion to load down a
Presidential message. The President,
we think, has taken a hint from the
newspapers n has Featured" his

Right Kind OF Radicalism.

In most conservative language Mr..
Wilson mas delivered a radical address
to Congress, with the promise Of fur
Their radical recommendations yet to
come. But all Of it is the radicalism
of a highly-matured and well-ordered
mind, with clear purposes and vrm
basic principles. The Presidents
words will be searched in vain for a
hint of partisanship or of party coer-
cion. He spoke not to the Democratic
majority In Congress but to all the
members of Congress of all parties. 1t
was not the address Of the leader Of
the Democratic party but Of the
President Of the United States, appeal
ing to a Congress from which he asks
no political favors or personal exalta-
ton, but only honest, single-minded
cooperation in the public welfare

A Message That Will Be Read.

The first thing that Will strike the
reader OF the Presidents message, or

fact that he has succeeded IN convert

Interestingly Written.

More people will read Mr.. Wilson's
message than any other Presidential
utterance delivered on O. similar occa-
sion for man years, because of it's
brevity.
The President is interesting in his
view of the Mexican situation. He
believes that the work Of isolation is
gradually destroying Huerta. In dis
cussing the dictator, he says:
Little by little he has been COM
pletely isolated. BY a little every day
his power and prestige are crumbling
and the collapse is not far away. We
shall not, l believe, be obliged to alter
our policy Of watchful waiting. And
then, when the end comes, we shall
hope to see constitutional order re-
stored in distressed Mexico by the
concert and energy Of such of her
leaders as prefer the liberty Of their
people to their own ambitions
This is a lofty view Of the situation,
creditable to the Presidents sense OF
fairness and the intelligence that
should mark the relations Of all the
people upon earth. The message is
most interestingly written. In choice
of words, in continuity Of thought, in
logical sequence Of subjects and in its
admirable consideration Mr.. Wilson'S
addres Is a model for the writer, the
speaker and for boys and girls in the

Some Editorial Comment on President
Wilson'S Message to Congress.
Uttcrance OF a Statesman.

The address Of the President to
Congress has, as might have been ex-
pected, been the subject of much ia
vorable comment. 1t certainly was a
scholarly and stateSman1ike utterance.
We think that the people will agree
with Mr.. Mann, Republican leader Of
the House, who said.
II like the idea of the President
coming before Congress and reading a
short message. pithy and to the point.
In the main. I liked the message to-
day. j think everybody will recognize
il as the utterance of a statesman, re-
gardless Of whether he agrees with
its details. Indianapolis News.

Shows Political ShreWdness.

The address Of Woodrow Wilson to
the Congress of the United States is
not overTated by those many who
have called it a "statesmanlike' docu-
ment, but it is no reflection upon the
President to point out that it is not
lacking in evidence of political
s~hrewdness. President Wilson is not
only the President of the United
States; he is also the leader-not as
Mr.. Taft. the titular leader-of hb

future and his emphatic declaration
at this time for Presidential prefer
ence primaries is a political move Of
