The currency bill has passed the senate and 1t will be ready for the pa esldents signature tonight That Mr. Wilson will sign the bill goes without saying for he is the originator of the bill and 1t was ono of tho platforms on which he was elected to
 the presidency.
 The prompt action on this measure shows that the man at the head of the nation b actually the head of the na- ton for 1t was by his efforts that the bill was drafted and 30 promptly put
 through the legislative branch of the
 government. Mir. Wilson believed in
 his currency bill as the proper means os regulating the finances of the eoun- try and he believed in 1t SO thorough ly that he would brook no interference from within or without his party. Whether one believes in all of the
 policies of Mir Wilson and hIs party Or not there must be a certain amount 0, admiration for the man who insists
 an his party keeping it's promises and v.ho Is not afraid to tell the politicians
 for revenue only who compose most
 of the legislative branch just what
 they can and cannot do. Just what
 and when they must act.
 We are sadly overburdened with legislation and with legislators and creat deal of tire ,nd money 10 wasted ! by the highly paid and excessively emolumented men who compose the national legislature. It Is a most re- freshing sight to see the ''schoolmas- tr' take the fo,'. .:e cf authority in
 his hand and tell all the little hoy politicians in the house and senate to be good. And 1t is far more refresh i'm to see these heretofore independ.
 ent gentlemen being good.
 | Mir. Wilson has set new mark for presidents. He is the president and
 he Is not content to sit idly in the W hite House and let the politicians ot the other end of Washington amble alng with their everlasting speeches md arguments which get them no.
 where. The president insists on ac- ton when he starts something and
 he seems to have a means for com I pelling that action when he has decid-
 ed on it.
 From the way Mfr. Wilson has stnrt- ed out with the legislative branch of
 the government it looks as if the hon. ornble gentlemen composing it would
 be kept pretty steadily on their job ard, contrary to custom. on it for the good of the country and not for the good of any certain class of legislators
 or interests.
 l Mir. Wilson will. if he continues his present attitude will make record as president of the United States that
 it will be hard to equal In the future
 end that has not been eQualed for many many terms in the past. He had a bad start. But for some months now we have heard little of q certain porenial figure in public life and the
 wholc democratic show seems to bc
 under one tent and under the direction
 of one mind. That is the mind of the
 president of the United States and he
 Is showing himself an able md wise rannager. He has impressed congress
 ard what Is of vastly more import
 nnce. he hns impressed the people. of his own rarty and of -ther parties
 and tho people of no party and It would seem safe to predict that if fPrcsident Wilson continues his present policy until the end of his term and .s nt,e to maintain his supremacy over
 the alleged statesmen who idle their
 time away on Capital TI:p Tn Washing lton hc will he t's 'to'ce "f tho people uEain when election time rolls arounds' And 1t will he Woodrow Wilson and not fro democrats party that will be tho choice of tl.e people and that
 s::ould be a very comforting thought
 tc Mr. Woodrow Wilson. i.
