The New President

President Wilson has into office with the good wishes of the nation. Never before president had little partisan bitterness to come He stands in much the same position as Jefferson whom he admires and whom he described in A History of the American People,"
 The federalist leaders found more
 over. that their partsans upon whom
 they had thought they could reckon, gave
 them no countenance It was impossible to
 arouse or alarm them MT Jefferson had
 proved monster after all, but amiabe
 and attractive gentleman, graceful in
 ciliatOn and apparently honest in his desire
 serve the whole country, spite of what
 said against him"
 That President Wilson recognizes the similarity of his situation that of Jefferson made plain yesterday when speaking of the change Of govern he said: Tt means much more than the mere success of a party. The success of party means little except when the nation is using that party for large and definite purpose. No can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to the democratic party"
 President Wilson has not come out Of the pool of politics through which have had to pass those of our other presidents who owed their elevation to military renOwn. The election of Pres Wilson the popular recognition of a pub licist whose theories in accord with the pro- gressive tendencies of the time. It an pressiOn of confidence that he would try to put his theories into practice that his administration would be government put at the service of human ity."
 But, solidly the people seem to stand be- hind him at the of his administration. his task will be easy He will encounter many difficulties in his party and he will be obstructed by a l,bination the reactionary forces in own ar: ,he republican party. Special privilege will surrender without struggle and greater peril, the ingenious and stub will be resistance.
 Against it in support of the president will be the progressive of all parties in and still back him will be the overwhelming support of the people who taking such interest their affairs they have taken before. To them president his inaugural address appeals for the assistance which President Roosevelt first invoked but which now, the first time is fully ready to be rendered:
 This a day of triumph; it is
 day of dedication. Here muster not the
 party but the forces of humanity.
 Mems hearts wait upon mems lives hang

 great trust? Who dares fail to to try?

 We believe that all these forces for humanity against greed prevail and that at the end of years shall have travelled far.

Now how the offices be distributed and when? President Wilson in the four months that elapsed between his election and his in auguration, preserved a reticence regarding most was given out with semblance of authority from both Trenton and Washington that official changes would be sudden and sweeping after March 4; that officials against whom charges of unfitness were brought would be permitted to serve the which they had been appointed.
