A MISTAKE.

The meeting of the Democratic edit
ors in Milwaukee last Saturday, has
brought forth some sharp comments
from the press of that city. This is
largely due to the fact that they were
refused admittance, which we thought
ut the time, and think now, was II mis-
take.---T. j. Cunningham in The Chip
pewa Falls Independent.
Mr.. Cunningham is right as usual.
II was grevious mistake. 1t was u
blunder, If not worse. The idea Of or
ganizing Democratic press association
behind closed doors Could folly go
farther The whole trend of public
opinion il for publicity, open eau
Gus and open meetings Of all kinds
There were good men in the Milwaukee
gathering; but the dominating influence
was bad
The failure to endorse President
Wilson's courageous stand ON the tariff
question Is inexcusabe. The tariff is
the only question now before congress-
II therefore demands specific decla-
ration wherever Democrats are assem-
bled together,
Mr.. Bishops clear cut declaration
ought to have been unanimously adopt
ed. 1t would have admonished Demo
cratic congressman that Wisconsin ex
poets them to act the part of democratic
Democrats and stand with the admins
tration against special privileges
The strangest thing about the whole
affair is that any Democratic editor
should be blind to the fact that in The
Milwaukee journal and The Milwaukee
News Wisconsin has two right good
Democratic newspapers. What kind of
an excuse could be offered for exclud-
ing representatives of these two jour
nails from the meetingY

The Springfield Republican and other
great journals approve of the good
things done and proposed at Washing

many patriotic readers. The power Of
the press has not departed. The sturdy
independent press, - newspaper and
magazine, is in fact the greatest force
in American politics. This press is
now united in support Of the national
administration NJ it has not been united
in support of national administration
for more than II generation.

The Party Must Keep Faith.

Springfield Republican; The most
notable aspect of the comment on the
Underwood tariff bill is that it would
cor sistently carry out the pledges of the
democratic party, The bill opponents
concede that much. AT the start there
is no trickery, no humbug, no breaking
of faith. The bill is the genuine down
ward revision, according to democratic
principles, in SO far as it is possible to
write general policy into tariff act
