tory. He entered public life
with no personal bitterness, and
without the scars of long strife.
He inherited his ideas from men
who had grown embittered or
one-sided in making them pre-
vail. He has been able to state
those ideas with serenity to a
people ready to welcome them
and act upon them.
Between the years of 1896 and
1908, there had been a period
of agitation in the United States
similar to that created in coun-
try communities by the preach
ing of a religious evangelist.
This period of agitation was in
large part precipitated by the
work of Roosevelt and Bryan.
How to incorporate their agita-
tion in legislation has been the
problem for the last six
years. That is why the COM
ing of Mr.. Taft to tn e
presidency was welcomed. 1t
was thought that he would in
itiate legislation to express the
mood of the nation. He was
to give permanent form to the
emotional upheaval of his fore
runners. Roosevelt and Bryan
were the pioneers and ground
breakers. Mr.. Taft was to be
the builder. But he brought a
temper of mind and a philosophy
of politics at rude variance with
the prevailing mood of his peo-
pie. He injected stand-pat ele-
ment into a radical situation.
So once again the voters went
hunting for a man who would
draft their desires into law.
They believe they have found the
man in Woodrow Wilson. The
nation is not ready for more radi-
cal measures and new forms of
radicalism. 1t has recently list
ened with indifference to pro-
posals for government owner

ceed drastically against the rail.
roads in the establishment of
freight rates by government de-
cree. Equally unmistakable are
the signs that will permit no
backward step.
What it wishes is a standing
on ground already won, clamp
ing down in tight legislative form
of gain already made. The mass
of people feel rather than think.
After a time they look for one to
come with sure analysis and lift
the situation from dimness to clar-
ity. They desire leader who can
transform their emotional drift
into conscious direction. No
other public man is so keenly
aware of this condition of the
popular mind as President Will
son. And because he under
stands the American people at
this point in their development,
his position is strong.
To Mr.. Wilson will be granted
a margin even of apparent un-
success, because he is occupying
80 much territory, with the ap-
proval of a majority of the elec-
torate. Popular Magazine ed

Woodrow Wilson holds a posi-
ton of authority today which is
undoubtedly as strong as that
with which he entered office in
March of 1918. By temper
ament and training he is far from
the hearty demagogue who has
so often won power in a democ-
racy, and it becomes a study OF
value to analyze the source of his
influence.
His life has been free from
early warfare. Political battles
were fought by other men, while
he was still quietly teaching the

And democracy's adherents,
consisting of the "unterritied" in
politics and policies. are being
constantly augmented by those
citizens who are straying away
from party fetters and ring bosses.
Democracy is freedom for the in
dividual--a protection of public
rights which permits freedom.
Heads and minds don't have to
be of the same size or brand in

alike when they get into conven-
ton. And-they never do, either.
The Single Tax Review, pub
lished in York, shows that the
railroads of the United States own
no less than 200,000,000 acres or
312,500 square miles. That is
about equal to the area of New
England states, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina combined.
1t is somewhat less than half the
area of Mexico. One out of every
eleven and half square miles in
continental United States belongs
to the railroads.
But there are other land mon
opolists than the railroads. One
half of the state of Florida is
owned by 1872 men whose combined
holdings amount to 16,9OO,OOO
acres. Two men own an estate
in California of 14,5OO,OOO
acres. The Weyerhaeuser estate
owns ,525,0 900 acres in two states
The estate of the late Lord "
William Scully owns 100000 acres
in Illinois. The steel trust owrs
or controls hundreds of acres of
ore and mineral lands, and so on.
If the federal government were
to compile a list of all large land
holdings in the United States, it
would make some of the big hold
ings in Mexico look small in com
parison.
In addition there are holdings
in all the large cities which meas
ured in acres look small as COM
pared with big agricultural and
mineral holdings. But measured
in value they are much larger.
There is the same need Of check
ing land monopoly in the United
States as there is in Mexico.

The dangers of whooping cough
are at last receiving the attention
they deserve. A few physicians
have been writing on the matter
for many years, but they have
been like lone prophets crying out
in a wilderness Of indifference. The
profession is at last aroused and
we expect that concerted effort
will now be made to convince the
public that this affection is not
the trivial matter most mothers
think. It kills 10000 children a
year in the United States and if
we add the deaths from later com
plications and tabulated as bron-
chitis, pneumonia or tuberculosis
the total is really appalling. 1t
kills more than typhoid, yet we
dread it less. No doubt the Older
children mostly recover, but the
case death rate is said to he 20
per cent in those less than a year
old, and most of the mortality
is of children less than five. These
facts must be explained to the
public, to stop the criminal habit
of exposing babies to the disease
"to have it over with" There
is no longer any doubt that the
bacillus found between the ella
of the tracheal and bronchial mu-
cous cells, and called the Bordet-
Gengon bacillus, though Spengler
described it in 1897-an instance,
by-the-way of the old habit Of pro
fessional neglect of the discover
les of our pioneers. This delicate
organism perishes very promptly
after expulsion from the host, so
that infection is generally if not
always spread by spray or drop
lets coughed out. That is, a car
rier is necessary, and we must
put an end to the universal care
lessness with which mothers take
their sick children into crowds to
infect and kill others. In time
we will consider this crime war
ranting the confinement of mother
and child in a municipal quaran-
tine station. The quarantine of
whooping cough suggested by DR..
j. l.. Morse, Of Boston, though an
ideal to be hoped for in the future.
seems a little too severe for the
present state of public opinion.
There must be a campaign of ed
ucation first, to convince people
of the seriousness Of the situation.
