voices heard, who never got line IN

America Is never going to submit

Can the tariff question be decided In

cy question. Are we going to settle
the currency question so long as the
government listens only to the coun-
sci of those who command the bank

Then there Is the question: of con-
servation. What is our fear about

ing stretched out to monopolize our
forests, to prevent the use of our
great power-producing streams, the
hands that are being stretched into

how we are to save ourselves-from

question of conservation while mo-
nopoly is close to the ears Of those
who govern. And the question of COIN
servation is a great deal bigger than
the question: Of saving our forests and
our mineral resources and our waters;
IL is as big as life and happines and
strength and elasticity and hope of
our people.
There are tasks awaiting the gov
ernment of the United States which
1t cannot perform until every pulse of
the government beats in unison with
the needs and the desires of the
whole body of the American people.
Shall we not give the people access of
sympathy, access of authority, to the
instrumentalities which are to be in
dispensable to their lives?

"FREEMEN NEED NO GUARDI
ANS"

(Woodrow Wilson in Worlds Work
for February
I There are two theories of govern
ment that have been contending with
each other ever since government be-
gan. One of them is the theory
which in America. Is associated with
the name of very great man, Alex
ander Hamilton. A great man but
in my judgment. not a great Ameri-
can. He did not think in terms OF
American life. Hamilton believed
that the only people who could under
stand government, and therefore the
only people who were qualified to
conduct 1t, were the men who had
the biggest financial stake in the
comm ercial and industrial enterprises
of the country.
That theory, though few have now
the hardihood to profess 1t openly.
has been the working theory upon
which our government has lately been
conducted. 1t is astonishing how per-
sistent it is. 1t is amazing how
quickly the political party which had
Lincoln for it's first leader-Lincoln,
who not only denied, but in his own
IDerson so completely disproved, the
..aristocratic the0ry-it Is amazing how
quickly that party, founded on faith
I in the people, forgot the precepts OF
Lincoln and fell under the delusion
that the masses" needed the guar
dianship of ''men Of affairs"
For. indeed, if you stop to think
about it, nothing could be a further
! departure from original Americanism,
! from faith In the bality of a conf
dent. resourceful, and independent
people, than the discouraging doctrine
that somebody has got to provide
prosperity for the rest of us. And yet
that is exactly the doctrine on which
the government of the United States
has been conducted lately. Who have
been consulted when important meas
ures of government, like tariff acts,
and currency acts, and railroad acts,
We're under consideration? The peo-
pie whom the tariff chiefly affects,
the people for whom the currency is
supposed to exist. the people who pay
the duties and ride on the railroads
( Oh, no. What do they know about
such matters! The gentlemen whose
| ideas have been sought are the big
manufacturers, the bankers, and the
heads Of the great railroad combina-
tions. The masters of the government
of the United States are the combined
capitalists and manufacturers of the
| United States. 1t Is written over every
/ intimate page Of the records of con-
gress; ii is written all through the his
tory of conferences at the White
House, that the suggestions of econ
iomic policy in this country have come
from one source, not from many
sources; the benevolent guardians, the
kind hearted trustees who have taken
the trouble of government off our
hands have become so conspicuous
/ that almost anybody can write out a
| list of them. They have become so
conspicuous that their names are men,
toned upon almost every political
platform. The men who have under
taken the interesting job of taking
care of us do not force us to requite
them with anonymously directed graf
itude. We know them by name.

But his best friend gave him only
sympathy, and it was easy to see that
by the very giving of that sympathy,
doubt was augmented. And the young

But though his family offered him
much advice and a little money they
did not support him, nod did they en-

think of no one else who would be
likely to help him, he sought out the
Sage Who Never Slumbers and told
his tale disconsolately. And he did
everything that could be done for the
young man, for he said:

It is not to show his literary skill
that Woodrow Wilson is writing for

his ability as public
speaker when he addressed Chicago
audience recently. The president
elect has been chosen as the leader of
the American people and he is going
about in his own way to set things
straight and take the country for
ward. He is endeavoring to show so
plainly, so clearly and forcibly what
Is right and must be done that the
opposition must give way. He Is lin
ing up big business for treatment and
he is starting the process by dwelling
not on the medicine to be used but
upon the diagnosis, He hopes to show
the need of reform SO clearly that
there can be no Just objection to the
remedies when they are administered.
He is going on the theory that edu-
cation Is big part of the battle
that the best way to disarm foe lie
TO prove clearly that he Is In the
wrong so that he will quit of his own
accord.
Governor Wilson's speeches. and
his writings since becoming president
elect are typical of the man. He Is a
leader who would rather lead than
drive-who would rather win men
over through persuasion than by scar
ing them with a club. and surely at
such a time as this he is an ideal man
for the white house.
