HAIL TO THE CHIEF"

President Wilson assumes Office TO-
day with the good wishes Of very
large majority Of his countrymen. III
one sense he will be minority Presi-
dent. since his election was due TO a
division in the ranks Of the party
which had long been in the habit of
electinS Presidents. But in another
sense the campaign of 1912 was Il case
of Wilson. that's all" Everybody
was working directly or indirectly for
the Democratic candidate. He WAS
the first choice of his own followers
and the second choice Of both the Ike
publicans and the Progressives. The
two branches of the old opposition
party are therefore in q way RESPONSE
BILE for the Wilson administration ana
are interested to that extent in seeing
Mr.. Wilson make good.
The air at Washington has bcoh
cleared good deal in recent years ol
partisan bitterness and narroWncsS'
In the Congress just expiring there
have been few divisions on strict party
lines. The public is interested in re-
suits and does not have the concern II
used 10 have FOR the sacrcdncss OF
party labels. II is disposed TO he en-
tircly fair To the new President aud 4"
give him full credit for any contrlbu-
tons he may bc able 10 make to gen
oral Wolfnrc and nro~rcSs
That does not mean. of course. that
the parties opposing his own have sur
rendered the natural right TO criiiclsc
him if his programme of bcttcrncnt
fails either through his own fault or
through that Of the imperfect political
instrument with which he has 10 work.
In case Of failure Mr.. Wilson would
himself hardly wish 10 make scapc-
goat Of the party. as Mr.. Cleveland
tried To do in 1924. when he saw MS
leadership dcficd and his hopes blast
cd. The new President and the Demo
cratic organization arc at one. ana
their fortunes will remain intcltwined.
The country hopes. however. that
they will do their best. not their worst.
and trusts that the incoming President
will suffer no such establishment ~

NEARER RICHMOND.

Free transfers between the INTERIOR
ough surface lines and the municipal
ferry 10 Staten Island bring the pco-
pie Of Richmond Borough into the
Manhattan fve-cent zone. This ini-
portant measure Of unificatiOn is due
to the InterbOrough company. from
which New Workers are warned not 10

means loss by the company OF two
