STAND sY THE PRESIDENT.

In an interview published in The
Racine Daily Call, Thomas NJ Kearney
strongly supports President Wilson in
his brave stand in the canal tolls mat
ter. Mr.. kearney says:
The president will not be deferred
In his purpose by the temporary oppo-
sition of Speaker Clark and Mr.. Under
wood. Their position in the matter is
very probably influenced by local con
ditions in the states they represent.
They will be defeated when the vote is
had on the pending measure No per
manent breach between them and the
president will result.
President Wilson, the most accom-
plished student of state affairs of his
age, sees the situation clearly. He feels
that we may not follow selfish course
in relation to the canal without dis
crediting this nation in its relation to
the other countries of the world. He
has stated this clearly to congress and
has asked it to take the only step we
may take with credit to ourselves.
LII Uul hhls NOulHNs IuS IICSlIlSIt
Of the United States is justly entitled to
the earnest support and commentator
of every right thinking citizen. The
courage displayed by the president in
urging the pending measure to the at
tention of congress- notwithstanding
the opposition of the leaders of his owl
party, is the best possible evidence ol
his sincerity and of the purity of hi:
motives. He is not the sort of a mar
who invites dissension or enjoys strife
Some of his critics are prone to con
denim him in other matters because o.
his inclinations in the other direction
But in this canal matter, he feels tina
it is necessary to the maintenance o
the integrity of our country in its grea
business relations with the world a
large and as principal member in tn,

Burlington Standard Democrat: Our
people are willing to wait; they are not
being influenced by the wordy wind
tanning of pseudo patriots who, in the
event of hostiities, would manage to

majority of the president fellow coun-

and they have an abiding confidence in
the Judgment, wisdom and true patri

meet it.
Bloomington Record: Most of the
people who have made study of the
cost of our state government are CON
WINGED that IA big saving could be af-
fected by consolidation of the various
commissions and other departments of
the state, and still continue practically
all the good work these commissions
and departments are doing. We be-

that are necessary to carry on the work

too many of the low tax men, however
is that they are more concerned about

The Cabinet Maker.

Sioux City Tribune: Not the least
among President Wilson's successes
has been his work as d cabinet maker.
1t has been considered remarkable that
any man should occupy the presidential
chair for year, do as much as he has
done and receive so little real criticism
If this be true of the president, it is
equally true of his cabinet and to him
attaches the greater credit for the wise
selection of advisers.
