President Wilson's largeness OF

alone, but President Wilson is not mar

bureau of education. In these words

the colleges Of the country shall give
the high schools more freedom in
their work by ceasing TO insist upon
requirements for entrance that ham
per the school in its duty TO the com
munity. He insists that the colleges
recognize the changing demands in
the high school and base their re-
quirements accordingly He objects
alike to the easy college that admits
students obviously unprepared and the
institution whose demands are so
stringent that none Of the public high
schools can reasonably meet them
Notwithstanding recent changes in
the direction OF uniformity. great vari-

English is about the only regularly re-
CURED subject. Curious contradictions
appear in the several hundred institu-

considered so important by some col

other colleges will not even accept

CAPITAL COMMENT

tration and of the new congress; and
in passing it may be said. and ought to
be said, that tariff reduction which
does not reduce the cost Of living is
not worth the paper on which it is
printed
Following that we promised to
strengthen the antitrust law; to es-
tablish an income tax; to revise the
banking laws; to improve our water
servation system; TO create a depart
ment OF labor. which we have already
done, and to declare the nations pur-
pose touching the Philippines. 1t is an
extensive program. but it is our duty
TO work it out. The only way to achieve
it is for every democrat in official po-
sition to give the best there is in him
to help redeem our promises by sub
Ordinating individual ambition 10 the
public veal
That any man fit for off cial station
will let his personal likes or dislikes
interfere with his cooperating with
any other democrat in unifying the par
" in its hercUlean and multifarious
tasks to redeem our pledges and there
by contributing, as ! believe, TO the in
creased prosperity and happiness Of
the American people, is a thing in
credible. The suggestion of such a
state of affairs comes from faint
hearted democrats who are forever
seeing ghosts or from malignant mar
plots who. though masquerading as
democrats. are not democrats at all
but wolves in Sleeps clothing. Ger
tain of these venomOus eleventh-hour
democrats are Ioud-mouthed in pro
claiming trouble where none exists and
in laying down a rule of conduct for
real democrats
/ Genuine democrats. who have the
good Of the party and the country at
heart, would do well 10 give no heed
TO these self-stvled democrats whose
chief business is TO stir up strife among
I democrats by foullv slaDdering any
democrat who has earned their enmi
" by being a democrat az all times
under all circumstances and at al
places.
Democrats should take to heart this
philosophy of the old saying: Beware
Of the Greeks bearing gifts Most as
sUredly democrats should remembel
what happened TO them by reason Ot
their family quarrels from March 4
1893 10 March 10. 1910. when for the
first time in Il years the democrats
in the house electrified the country by
voting together-not man missing il
a great struggle. That was a red-let
ter day in the history Of democracy.
The house democrats have been TO
gether ever since and while neither ;
prophet nor the son Of a prophet. pfc
dict that they will in the G3d congress
act in unison, not only with them
selves but with President wilson.
After listening much and talkiny
little-the best way TO Learnt hav,
