This is a commercial nation. The

visors, says Herbert Kaufman in
Woman's World.
Our legislative progress has been Sc
verely hampered bya preponderance of
lawyers in every branch of state and
national government.
\ hundred insistent questions are
now before the country. Theory alone
have never been so badly needed in all
the course of our history. The past
possesses little value in estimating the
necessities of today.
In this great period of applied power
and scientific management, systems
are in constant course of revolution,
and a study of obsolete conditions is
of little value in determining the
wisest measures for current emergen-
cies. The new Presidents career has
been thai of a student-a watcher
rather than "A worker. He has had lit
tie personal contact with the equa-
tons which he must consider and reg
ulate.
We sincerely hope that i'm the max
ing OF his slate That ne VIII choose for
his department heads alert, honest,
competent. practical associates thor
oughly conversant with the practices
and traditions of commerce.
The coming four years will be
fraught with bitter congressional con-
tiicts, and the country will be called
upon to consider an enormous mass Of
new legislation.
Determined and speedy action will be
a constant necessity of the Wilson ad-
ministration and no president in years
will have met with more occasions
when foresight and wisdom were more
demanded.
a resourceful private secretary and
a cabinet able to think upon its feet
will do much to insure a successful
term for Mr.. Tafts successor
