STRUCK TfIE KEYsToNE.

Apparently the president found the
keystone of foreign antipathy TO the
United States when he recommended
the repeal of the free toll clause of
the canal bill. The structure based
on British dissatisfaction, Russian pre-
JUDGE, Mexican defiance and Japanese
aggression has crumbled.
And the keystone was British dis
satisfaction. With the now quite Ger
tain removal of the obnoxious dis
elimination in favor of American
coastwise shipping Great Britain has
frankly and cordially extended its
hand With this friendly understand
ing established the administration
foreign policy will move with much
less friction
Neither Russia nor Japan will care
20 be obstreperous in the fact Of such
a firm alliance as that which seems TO
have been reestablished between the
United States and Great Britain, and
the presidents policy toward Mexico
is likely 10 continue undisturbed. The
condition Of isolation in which i'm
polite legislation had placed the
United States seems to have been re-
moved. Russia and Japan will hard
ly venture TO antagonize the English
speaking combination however they
might feel toward America alone.
Pres Wilson's single track mind"
as he chooses to call his thinking ap-
paratus, carried him directly TO the
most vulnerable point in the situation.
UrgeC, 90 proceed at once with Rus
sian negotiations he wisely saw the
advantage of first placing the support
of Great Britain behind him.
In accomplishing this the president

ments and understandings heretofore

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

ballot? Is it just or fair that any one
person should have more than one
vote? These questions are suggested
by the answer given by the prospec-
tive juror in New York city in the
examination as to his qualifications
for office. When the judge asked if
he believed in the imposition of the
death penalty, he responded with in
genuous candor:
L do. But l must state this: VIII

for the jury in a murder case and i
said 1 believed in the death penalty.
if 1 voted for conviction, as a muir
derer.
What was TO be done with such a
talesman? He was excused forth
with, for the trial was for a capital
offense, in which it was very possible
that the sentence of death would re-
suit, and it was evident that the juror
would be divided in his mind between
the brutality of the Offense and the
reception he would receive when he
got home after his prisoner had been
convicted of murder and sent 70 the
electric chair. In fact, it was reason
ably sure that the prospect of break
ing up his happy home and of per
haps getting his own head broken in
addition would be too strong for his
peace of mind and that he would not
vote for conviction. In other words,
his vote not at the polls but in a
more important matter in court, as
juror, was controlled from at home

\ LEADER.

y LfADEh.
The reception given to Woodrow
Wilson's trust policy by the business
world is one of the most significant
and interesting developments of re-
cent history. A business friend OF
ours was talking about public affairs
the other day. He had voted for Mr..
Taft and had been generally distrust-
full of Mr.. Wilson. He makes a noise
like a real man." he said Il think
he will stand among our presidents
next TO Washington and Lincoln"
AS the business world has made up
it's mind to follow him, so has con-
gress. When he first threw away
precedent and read his own message,
he was received with a cold and hos
tile silence. The second time he APP
peared there was scattered applause.
The third time he was received with
enthusiasm. He had won, partly be-
cause his ideas were right and partly
because he had shown the ability to
gain victories. The public likes WIN
ner, and the president who is able to
do things inspires the same loyalty in
representatives and senator's and the
rest of us that victorious generals or
champion baseball players inspire.
Happily Mr. Wilson gives every proof
of deserving the immense power that
is now lodged in his hands. He is
not only the real leader in Washing
ton; he is the one essential leader.
If he should be taken away tomorrow,
and succeeded by the well meaning
vice president, progress in legislature
for the present would be at an end.
1t is a masterful gift to combine
courtesy and a reassuring manner with
firmness and a drastic program, as
the president did in his trust massage.
He is a radical; conservatives have
often called him an extreme radical;
and yet the time has come when he
frightens nobody. The time has come
when those ideas which We all feel to
be right can be put into practice with
out being regarded by the business
world as so much dynamite. Rapid
indeed has been the progress since the
fourth of March; the tariff system mi
tiated. that we have been confronting
with fear for a generation; our old
currency system overthrow and a
more democratic one introduced: the
whole nature OF private monopoly
facing a change, and almost no one
found to doubt that the president 5
outline of this change will be carried
through. Through these rapid steps
ahead, much glory must come to the
man who holds the most responsible
office.
