President Wilson gave out the fol-
lowing statement last Tuesday night
after the passage Of the tariff bill by
the senate: "A fight for the people
and for free business, which has last
ed long generation through, has at
last been won handsomely and COM
pletely. A leadership and stead
fastness in counsel have been shown
in both houses OF which the Demo-
cratic party has reason to be very
proud. There has been no weakness
or confusion or drawing back, but q
statesmanlike directness and COM
mand Of circumstances. I am happy
to have been connected with the gov
ernment of the nation at a time when
such things could happen and to have
worked in association with men who
could do them. There is every rea-
son to believe that currency reform
will be carried through with equal
energy, directness and loyalty to the
general interest. When that is done,
this first session Of the Sixty-third
congress will have passed into history
with an unrivalled distinction.

expressed warm admiration for the
conscientious independence and cour-
dexter. The president, while always
confident that the Democratic ma
jority would be- kept intact to insure
the passage Of the bill by safe mar
gin, had been hoping for the votes OF
progressive Republicans. He told
some Of his friends tonight that aid OF
this kind outside Of the party ranks
was one of the concrete evidences
that the Democratic party Is progress
sive.

Of New York, secretary OF the Ameri-

before the American Public Health
association at Colorado Springs last
Wednesday night. Recently there
has been a remarkable development OF
