self as president. There is a real
but dieinterested boss at the White
House. He is felt 10 be boss FOR
the people. He knogs his mind.
His policies. he says are not writ
ten in chalk but indelible ink. And
they are not written in a hurry.
He is however, as they say, ION
the job. all the time.' Lack of
travel has helped the president
wonderfully. Familiarity breeds
contempt. The country has liked
the way in which he has broken
precedents and while as q matter
Of fact the president has not had
very much to do with legislation
he has done great deal in a gen.
eral way, sufficient to give the i'm
press of himself on the leading leg
islation, such as to beget conf
dence in the people in them and
make them popular.
There is complaint on the part of
the Republicans and Progressives
that the president is usurping
power by his control in congress
and the dictation of what it shall
do. He has actually compelled
congress to stay in session many,
many months against its own will.
He is making them earn their sal
airy of $500 a year.
The way in which the president
is bossing congress is tremendously
popular with the people. 1t is
futile for the Republicans and the
Plogressives to try to make an is
sue with the people on this presi-

EDITORIALS
PRESIDENT WILSON IS
STRONG WITH PEOPLE

A special correspondent of the
Boston advertiser (Rep.) shows the
immense popularity of President
Wilson the country over:
What the Republicans have
known and what the ProRressives
have known, but what the Deme-
Gratis have not known. and not even
suspected or seen, is the wonderful
popularity in the land Of President
Wilson, the Democratic occupant
of the White House, the party's
titular leader. dejure and indeed
de facto. Ask shrewd Republican
who has been out among the people
ascertaining their thought and
predictions and he will tell you
it is all for Wilson.
Many members of congress, es-
peciallv Republicans have gone
home and returned; and they are
telling what they have found to be
the sentiment of the people. The
oneness of the people for the presi-
dent is what struck them most.
The Republicans, and some of
them are senator's, say they could
make no Roadway against it for
the people would not listen, so
great is their confidence in the
president. So inviolate was the
sentiment, they gave it up. Nor
was it of any use attacking the ad.
ministration through the tariff or.
the currency bill. The people
would not listen to any tariff talk;
they would run away from it. Their
ears were closed.
Nor would they listen to cur
rency talk except such. as was in
favor of the administrations bill.
AS has been indicated before, the
people were satisfied with the bill
as long as it was Wilson's. What
the bankers wanted they did not
want at all.
Ia large number of instances
the local banks are the wovles of
the locality. The sentiment re-
gardiug their wishes can thus be
understood. Nobody gains bit in
popularity by attacking the adj
ministration on its banking and
currency bill. Fool-hardy say Re-
puhlicans are the Republicans who
try to make political capital on that
score.
A distinguished western senator
was asked recently by the Repub-
lican congressional campaign COM
mittee to go out on the stump in
the east. 81 would like to go but
give me an issue that is not an
cient history to talk upon" he re-
piled. "You cannot berate Wilson
for the people will laugh at you.
You are talking absolutely against
the wind. They are absolutely
deaf to the tariff and they will run
away II you will talk currency"
His argument was unanswerable
and he refused to go on the stump.
The continent found has aston
ished the Republican, as we'll as the
progressive members of congress.
It was found adamsnt in the great
central west and very solid in the
farther west. The east has shown
its marked -pro-Rilson favor. AS
things are going Republicans as
we'll as Progressives in private are
saying that nothing now can pre-
vent the denomination of Wilson
for president aud his reelection. |
The Republicans are saying it is
not hard to account for the presl-
dents popularity. The country likes
the way in which he COMFORTS him
