The Hyatts are well known in To-

Harsh charges are made by both lit

charges her husband assaulted her in

object of his visit replied that the
fence around his property was badly
in need OF repair and required his
personal attention. The humor of
the answer made a hit and the word
went out that John Sherman was at
home patching mp his political
fences, and the expression then coin
ed has been going ever since.
II is worthy of note in passing tha1
the willy senator was so successful in
mending his fences that he continued
to serve his country in the senate for
many years and from time TO time
was mentioned in connection with The
presidency. No form of expression is
likely to succeed that so unconsciously
suggested by Sen. Sherman. 1t fits
the purpose like the paper on the wall.

IL IS a favOrite pastime Of the OPP
position TO point out the particulars
in which Pres Wilson is following
palicies advocated by the progress
sives or republicans To is a harmless
pastime and amusing TO the president
and his followers.
The fact is. of course. that there is
only one road to progressive achieve
ment and il would be strange indeed
il all parties had not travelled it for
longer or shorter d stances. and it
would be equally strange if Pres. Will
son should not cover ground that had
been previously covered. AT least in
advocacy. The truth remains. how
ever, that Pres. Wilson is the only one
who has kept the straight and narrow
path and is approaching the goal by
direction.
Except for the influence it may
have had on creation of public sent
ment It matters little how much any
party may have advocated reforms as
long as il does not accomplish them.
Both republicans and progressives, if
Roosevelt could have been called a
progressive president. have had a
chance to carry out the progressive
policies they advocated and pledged
themselves 10 and signally failed. and
II Is too late for them 20 say I'VE were
going to do that" or 10 accuse Pres.
Wilson Of adopting their policies.
no party can lay claim to policy
II has not been true to. The policy
belongs To whoever consistently and
efficiently adopts it and accomplishes
something with it. The test Of a pol
icy on the sincerity of its advocate is
found in the results. Pres. Wilson is
getting the results.
IL will be fruitless for either the
progressives or democrats to attempt
TO make capital out Of the democratic
doing what they may have thought
of doing or what they pledged them
selves to do. but never did The peo-
pie are not SO easily deceived or sat
isfied What the public wants is per
formances and that is what Tres. VII
son and the party behind him have
given.
The president has. in less than a
year made the opposition look like
trailers, also rams. They have no
place in the great race against time
and opportunity and the evils of gov
eminent now in progress. Pres. VIII
son and the democratic party and the
great flood of popular sentiment be
hind them are all there is to it.

THEY'LL KNOW wHAT,s WHIT.

The meat in Pres. Wilson's trust
program lies in two propositions
law To create commission that shall
aid court. trusts and everybody else
in discovering what are lawful bust
ness methods, and a law for govern
ment regulation of the railroads,
financial operations.
1t has been the practice of big bust
ness to fee lawyers for telling them
how they could get around the laws.
So many ways for doing this were dis
covered that all business men became
ratified as to what they could and
what they could not legally do. And
supreme court decisions have tended
to argument the uncertainty. To
know what one may do or may not do
ought to prove a tremendous relief to
the business world.
As to government regulations of the
financial operations of railroads, it
may be said that such regulations
might well be applied to all the big
corporations, and that such applica-
ton, honestly and thoroughly made
25 years ago, would have prevented
much of our present distress. We
wouldn't have as many multimillion-
aires and as much water" now. but
we would have sOunder corporations
and not be confronted with the neces-
sity of mercilessly "unscrambling'
the economic eggs.
However. an ounce of cure is worth
| a pound of prevention that does not
prevent, and Pres Wilson's recon-
mendation is based on sound policy.
