The currency bill has passed the senate and 1t will be ready for the pi esidents signature tonight. That MT. Wilson will sign the bill goes without saying for he Is the originator of the bill and it was one 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 Is actually the head of the na- ti"n for 1t was by his efforts that the bill was drafted and so promptly put through the legislative branch of the government Mr. Wilson believed in his currency bill as the proper means of regulating the finances of the coun- 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 CT not there must be a certain amount O. admiration for the man who Insists on his party keeping its promises and h" is not afraid to tell the politicians for revenue only who compose most cf the legislative branch just what they can and cannot do. Just wha, and when they must act
 w" are sadly overhurdened with legislation and with legislators and a Frcat deal of tin" md money Is wasted by the highly paid and excessively emolumcnted men who compose the national legislature. It is most re fieshing sight 10 see the "schoolmas- tr" take the :o,. '" cf authority in ! his hand and tell all the little boy ! politicians In the house and senate to 1 be good. And it is far more refrrsh- | ini to see these heretofore independ cnt gentlemen being good.
 Mir. Wilson has set a new mark for 1 presidents. He is the president and 1 h' is not content to sit idly in tn" | White House and let the politicians IT the other end of Washington amhle 1 along with their everlasting speeches and arguments which get them no- where. The president insists on ac- ton when he starts something and he seems to have n means for com polling that action when he has decid- cd on it.
 From the way Mir. Wilson has start ed out with the legislative branch of the government 1t looks as if the hon. orable gentlemen composing 1t would he kept pretty steadily on their job ard contrary to custom. on 1t for the good of the country and not for the good of any certain class of legislators or interests.
 MT. Wilson will. if he continues his present attitude will make q record as president of the United States that it will be hard to equal in the future and that has not been equaied for many many terms in the past He had a bad start. But for some months
 
 now We have heard little of a certain perennial figure in public life. and tho whole democratic show seems to be 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 and a wise manager. He has impressed congress ard what Is 0: vastly more import nnce. he has impressed the people. ofi his own party and of .ther partiest and the people of no party and itI would seem safe to predict that ifI President Wilson continues his present l policy until the end of his term and | :s ato to maintain his supremacy over the alleged statesmen who idle their | time away on Ca,,i.o! HIP In .Wtshing.l ton he will he q. 'tpice nf the people again when election time rolls around | And it will be Woodrow Wilson and | not Ire demo.rat', party that will be ! fhe choice of tie people and that l s':ould be a very comforting thought l tc Slr Woodrow Wilson.
