Can the President Retain Control?

There are still three more years for
President Wilson to serve in his first
term.
Can he, during this period, retain his
present control over Congress? The
question opens wide the door of specu-
lation. It must be remembered that the
Democratic majority in Congress was
committed to the revision of the tariff
and the enactment of a currency law,
and that there was no difficulty in the
Presidents way, SO far as policies were
concerned. President Wilson, however,
went further than merely impressing
his policies on Congress. He was tri-
umphant as to details. Take, for in
stance, the proposition to remove the
duty from raw sugar. The sentiment
of Congress was at first averse to this
abolition, not alone because the sugar
beet growers of the West and the cane
sugar producers of Louisiana would be
irretrievably injured, but also because
there was a serious doubt in the minds
of many whether the sugar trust would
make reduction in the price of sugar
to the consumer equal to the saving of
the duty. The President was deter
mined, however, that sugar should go
upon the free list and he had his way.
In the preparation of the currency bill,
also, he insisted upon the enactment of
certain details and they went into the
law.
The relations between the President
and Congress continue outwardly I'M
disturbed. There are rumors of dis

A Record Of Accomplishment

Upon the whole, the administrations
first year is record OF accomplish
suits have been achieved and the Pres
ment. Whether for good or bad, re-
ident may be content.
If the President continues to hold
his party together, which seems likely
to be the case, it will go before the
country next fall with united front.
This is fact of no small importance.
1t means that the Democratic party has
learned lesson from the bitter expert
ence of the past, and that it does not
propose to jeopardize its position by an
exhibition of lack of harmony. In fact,
the remarkable outcome of the year has
been the demonstration that the Demo-
cratic party is a disciplined and CO.
hesive organization. To President VIII
son, more than any other one man, is
this demonstration due

POLITICAL SITUATION.

President Wilson is approaching the
close of the first year of his admins
tration.
In many respects the year has been
most notable. In the first place, the
Democrats succeeded in enacting legis-
lation without serious party friction.
Their solidity and harmony surprised
even their friends and disappointed
their enemies. When one recalls the
elimination and recrimination which &C
companied the stormy passage of the
Wilson bill during Cleveland's time and
the long and bitter fight which pre-
ceded the repeal of the Sherman silver
purchase act, the ease with which the
present Democratic Congress placed
both the tariff and the currency laws
upon the statute books is something re-
markable.
The man to whom is due the largest
share of credit for this achievement is
Woodrow Wilson. 1t is no exaggera-
ton TO say that President Wilson has
literally held the Democratic Congress
in the hollow of his hand. He has
dominated his party from head to foot.
There never was anything like the
power he has shown. Animated by a
steadfastness of purpose, strong in the
courage of his convictions, and pos
sessed of much tenacity and determine
ton, he first outlined the path which
was to be followed and then kept those
who were in it from wandering astray.
He exercised, also, much tact, so that
the chains of his authority did not bear
heavily. AT the same time, the bonds
were there and Congress has done little
more than register the will of the
President, doing the things which he
wanted done and leaving undone those
things which did not meet his COM
mendation. 1t is a strange thing for
members OF a Senate or House COM
mittee to halt in their deliberations over
a legislative measure in order to go to
the White House and learn whether
they have executive sanction for the
approval of certain amendments. In
cidents of this character, nevertheless,
occurred quite frequently and invari-
ably the will of the legislator yielded
to the will of the Executive.
Ii is safe TO say that Wilson's sue
cess in swaying Congress to do his
will has strengthened him immensely
with the people. They liked Roosevelt
because he did things They like Will
son because he has demonstrated that
he can rule. It is, of course, serious
question whether this is a healthy tend
ency on the part of the people AS
Congress is directly their branch of the
government one would naturally think
that they would be jealous of its in
dependence. Apparently, such is not
the case. The President is applauded
because he has within him the elements
which demonstrate his leadership. The
people are perfectly willing to see Con-
gress subservient to his will.

Trust Question Is a Problem.

Much will depend, also, upon the
manner in which the administration
handles the trust problem.
This does not mean Presidential mes
sages. 1t means legislation actually en-
acted. President Wilson's utterance on
the treatment of the trusts was dis
tinctly disappointing to the radical ele-
ment in his party. They regarded it
as entirely too favorable to Wall Street.
The Progressive party is also disposed
to be critical of the administration
attitude, and if the session should ad-
iourn without action it will seek to
make political capital out of that fact.
The trade commission idea is regarded
as a sop to Cerberus. What is ap-
parently wanted is some drastic legis-
lation which will prohibit all combina-
ton and cooperation and restore the
old times of unlimited competition. 1t
is true that nobody seems to know ex-
actly how this is to be done, but that
does not lessen the demand for action.
There may be a division in Congress
between the radicals and the conserva-
tives on this trust question, but it is
safe to predict that the course which
the President advises will be followed.
In this, as in other things, both Sen
ators and Representatives feel that their
political fortunes are bound up with
those of the President, and that they
can do better by standing together than
by quarreling. The President, as was
pointed out in The Washington Herald
some weeks ago, is convinced that more
harm than good will result from harsh
or hasty legislation and is willing that
the solution of the trust problem shall
be gradually approached. There is rea-
son to believe that in reaching this con-
clusion he has accurately sensed the
judgment of the country, and that he
will not be condemned if he adheres
to his position. At best, however, he
has rocky road to travel If. he is
lenient toward the trusts he will not
please those who are bitterly antagonis.
tic to all large corporations, while he
will be equally unpopular with the bust
ness interests if he fails to regard
them with consideration. If he can
successfully steer himself between

From Salado, Ark.

Messrs. Marshall & Baird, Union City,
Tenn. Dear Sirs and Friends: / just
want to drop you line or two to let you
hear from this part Of the world. ] have
been on my new work for little over
four weeks and am beginning to feel
somewhat at home again pf
II am living in the little town Of
Salado, just about seven miles across
White River from Batesville, Ark, in
Independence County. am still IN
the high country. AS you cross White
River from Batesville yon come to a
very high hill-several hundred feet
high--which is known as the noun
tain. This is to climb, which is done
by following winding road. When
you reach the top you begin to descend
gradually toward Salado, which is about
five miles further on.
There is fine quality Of sand stone
here, about as good as can be found
anywhere II is used largely for build
ing purposes, but the country is not as
rough and rocky as Sharp County,
where have been for the two years
past AS you leave Salado you again
approach the river as you continue to-
ascend the mountain to Rosie, the next
place on the work, which is four miles
from Salado. You follow the course Of
the river somewhat as you approach Oil
Trough Bottom, where you come TO the
other two points on the work - Oil
Trough and Elmo.
When came on the work the one
thing that the people had the most Of
was mud, but the roads have become
more settled now and travel is much
more agreeable am told that when
the roads get thoroughly dried out they
are splendid.
Oil Trough Bottom is one Of the rich
est sections to be found anywhere in
this part OF the State. It is very thickIy
settled. 1t looks like one big town. I
ind some good people here and ann look
ing forward to a good year.
Very truly yours,
J. M. HARRISON.
