Our New President

our view TTeSlQeU
Woodrow Wilson becomes the president of the
United this important executive office
in the world with the best wishes of the American people
The situation confronting Wilson today the
that confronted Mr. Taft just four and it to be hoped
Mr. Wilson will not make the mistakes of his
who es from office tomorrow dscredted statesman all be-
of the people demanding
progressive policies and progressive legislation.
Mr. Wilson the presidency with the announcement
that his policies will be and the American people
inclined give pleasing that their
least needed but Mr. Wilson must give them
actions that they have not been
lead as thew bv Mr. Taft who was elected as progressive
but who gave the country reactonary administration
In other words the American people from Missouri
and will be Mr. Wilson's initial show them And he
the believe him to be- he will lose time in Showing
in most approved manner
able of the legislation
desired from reluctant because he faithfully
reflected the ideas OF the great mass OF the people, IL Mr.
his millions constituents the Mr. Roosevelt
did, acting their champion compelling to conform
will the people, which seldom does unless extreme
brought bear his term of office will be
plete success
Blythe, we'll known magazine writer political
AFFAIRS emphatcay that Mr. Wilson has both the DESIRE
the ability and the to establish progressive policies and
progressive legislation Writing the Saturday Evening
Post Mr.. Blythe says of Wilson:
Electoral Col

millions of the
campaigns he
obvious good Republicans voted for
Wilson's political situation:
binding declaration
Democratic Representatives the middle of his
He the real dominant political this
progressism Mr.

the intends
ve he the being position where
a personality has the ability to
consider question in calm mpersona and when he
reaches conclusion Mr. Blythe puts it, that conclusion
va He is diplomatic the greatet public speaker
America and has the shrewdnes to look before apng but with
enough to leap eapng the thing to do Mr.
Wilson, aso has for useless anquated
this latter characteristic will doubt give official Washington
many rude jolts as it received from Mr. Roosevelt
AS matter of fact Mr. Wilson has already
capital by announcing after his discovery that
presidents ROOM in the capitol building that he intended
Just how much desires to have the president
keep touch with it is shown by the
built just mile from the capitol Other presidents
Roosevelt have this
and have wide berth to the building
the land made that they rarely
ROOM the last night of congress-
enth hour bills have to be signed attend big public
ceremonial.
This sacred precedent will be broken the
calm Indifference he displayed when fractured naug
ura ball because Mr. Wilson that keeping
in close touch with the New Jersey legislature he able
through good bills therefore
success if he keeps in close touch with congress.
Mr. Wilson looks good fervent hope of the people
this country that he will make good they
believe he will But he will have to SHOW them.
