son and Bryan thus indicating the
support Of progressive democracy. The
other is that the law has the approval
Of la Toilette thus attcsting the APP
proval of progressive republicanism
With those men endorsing the law
the tories and the tory press may rail
until doomsday and rail in vain The
people have faith in Wilson, Bryan
and La Toilette. They have no faith
in the tory press, The present regime
will never be driven from power on
the tariff issue.
In his remarks last evening follow
ing the signing of the bill President
Wilson expressed qualification. He
had right to do so. His administra-
ton has successfully handled a prob
lem that has baffled all other admin
istrations for the past 20 years. 1t is
a problem that Roosevelt with all his
courage and vigor was never able to
handle; a problem which Taft failed
TO solve ana in his failure went to
political destruction. BY achieving
real tariff reform within seven months
after his inauguration President Will
son has accomplished something that
shows his fitness for the presidency
and will cause increased confidence in
the adminitration.

Members of the school board are to
be commended fer having asked a
competent landscape
Il Is a architect to map out Il
Sensible Step. plan for the improve
ment of the high
school grounds. 1t is a sensible step.
We have a beautiful high school
building but its appearance can be en-
hanced 100 per cent by proper land
scape setting. That is true of any
building public or private. By having
an expert draw plans for the high
school grounds the board will be able
10 proceed intelligently to improve
the grounds. They will feel secure in
what they are doing and will know
that money expended in improving
the grounds will be wisely spent. The
course taken does not necessarily
mean any vast expense as some peo-
pie may think 1t costs no more as a
rule to lay out campus along cor
rect lines than to do the work inn
properly. The first principle in land
scape architecture is to work along
simple natural lines. The landscape
al chitect always hates artificiality and
seeks to accomplish his end at min
imum cost The bungler on the other
hand will often spend money doing
something that should not be done at
all.
As a result OF the school boards ac-
tion we should obtain a high school
campus that can be shown to visitors
without apologies and that will be
worth considerable.
