en- for which the public conscience was
not already prepared, The people had
been thinking along those lines; there
was something approaching agreement
as TO what steps ought to be taken to
bring the laws in harmony with popular
thought.
The same fact holds true In the field
of trust regulation. The president
merely interprets, He is asking CON
gress to take action which the in
telligenee and conscience Of the nation
are ready to approve. Under the cir.
cumstances there is scarcely room for
doubt that success will crown this effort
as success crowned the administration S
previous efforts,
That guilt in trust aggressions is per-
sonal and should be punished on that
basis is nowhere denied AS to the mis-.
chief in interlocking directorates there is
small dissent. For will many dispute
the wisdom of substituting for the rule
Of reason an explicit definition of what
is and is not permissible under the law.
In these and other respects President
Wilson interprets the reawakened pub
lie conscience in manner at once graft
flying and promising.
The public has been schooling itself
to accept exactly such program as this.
No legitimate interest has anything to
fear. 1t is in the highest sense a pro-
posal of fair play. The best thought of
the country is with the president in his
and will support CON
gress as it writes them into statutes.-

W. o. Hefferman, Gov, Cox's expert
budgeteer, has recommended that the
legislature cut S97S,3l from the 1914
appropriation bill which the regular ses-
sion of the assembly passed last spring
That is a splendid move. II the state
can be run for a million dollars less,
what is the use Of appropriating more
money! An eXtravagant appropriation
breeds extravaganza. But the point in
this is-while the business and resources
OF the State are growing it is shown that
by careful inanciering the expenses Of
the State may also be kept at the mini
mum. But what will our Republican
friends, or enemies, say to this? After
awhile there will be nothing left for Re-
publican newspapers to print except
news, and Republican orators will devote
their themes to topics concerning home
gatherings.

THE PRESIDENT STRIKES
A POPULAR CHORD

President Wilson's trust mes sage de-
livered in person to congress last week
is fair, convincing presentation of what
well-informed public opinion holds in
reference to corporate rights and prac-
tees.
The president pretends no further than
that. Legislation is a business of in
terpretation, not of origination, - he
says.
Now comes the third great step in the
administration program. Ithas given the
country revised tariff and evidences
multiply that the country likes it. It
has given us the currency act, which has
received scarcely shadow of adverse
criticism. 1t is now time to consider
the trusts.
It was cause for surprise that the adj
ministration, entering field of discus
sion ordinarily marked by bitter contro-
versy, could accomplish results so strik-
ing and at the same time avoid disastrous
hostilties. Yet the reason is plain, as
Mr.. Wilson suggests no action was tax

ed under Governor Harmon's admin
istration, was intended TO buttress
and support the Smith I per cent tax
| law. That this Is true is shown by
| Governor Harmon's last message 20
the general assembly under date OF
Jan, 6, 1913. Speaking Of the sue
cess of the Smith law he said
"The unfortunate failure or the Ed
wards bill at the last session has pre-
vented thus far full enjoyment OF th2
results In view, The work Of elected
ward and township assessors has
proved failure in Ohio and else
where"
After discussing the provisions OF
the Edwards bill, which was in almost
precise form the same as the Wanes
law. Governor Harmon said to the
present legislatures Il recommend a
like law" He emphasized the neces'
sity of dcing away with the elective
system Of ward and township asses
scrs in these words:
Imperfect as the plan OF reform
was thus left, the good accomplished
under II has attracted attention In
other states. whose governors and
legislators have sought information
with a view Of adopting It, but the
plan has not had fair trial and will
not have until the defect named has
been cured"
While misrepresentation has ere.

Warnes law in some quarters, public
intelligence will absorb and public
opinion will indorse, in the last analy.
sis, the provisions Of the law.
recur to the report Of the McKin-
ley commission to remind you Of this
striking piece OF information which
II contributed:
1T may be remarked that the list
ing system in Ohio is one which has
been abandoned in many other parts
Of the world The assessment lists
used in Germany in medieval times
G53D were like those now in vogue
in the United States. All this has
been abandoned everywhere in Eu-
rope"
While your committee, seeking to
speak in behalf Of the Republican
party, commits itself to the taxation
policy of medieval Europe-four
hundred years ago-I would be lack.
ing in frankness not TO say that this
administration is headed in another
direction; and / am convinced, fur
ther, that the great rank and file OF
your party is not in sympathy with
the policy of your leaders, which
turns you back for inspiration to the
dark ages of tyranny and inequality.
For me, would prefer the today and
the tomorrow Of history, with their
humanity and their progress, as a
more certain guide.
l regret very much that your com
mttee has not sensed the spirit OF
the times and that the recommends
tions made are not for constructive
rather than destructive changes in
the laws.

SEVERAL REASONS WHY

rGreenville Democratic Advocate.

Greenville Democratic Advocate.
January Isl
Congressman Cookies friends will be
coming along in a short time and will be
proclaiming that he is one of the most
progressive Democrats IN the district.
When they do this Mr. Democratic voter
ask them why he stood shoulder to shoul-
der in the Baltimore Convention with
Tammany Boss Murphy and the Belmont
and Ryan interests and voted against
every reform movement that w. J. Bryan
and other friends of President Wilson
were trying to have adopted? Ask them
why Cooke was repudiated in his own
home town of Wapakoneta in the primary
of 1912 when the Progressive delegates
carried that city against the efforts of the
Congressman and his followers Ask
them if this Auglaize Hog Combine"
statesman o. is such a Progressive, why
he voted with the Republicans in Con-
gress against the resolution of Congress
man Henry for the investigation of the
Money TRUST Ask them why he repud-
lated some of the schedules in the tariff
bill of 1911, which the Democratic major
ity in Congress had agreed to, and ask
them why at the Toledo Convention he
had the infamous unit rule" imposed
on the National Progressive delegates
from Ohio and disfranchised every Pro-
gressive Democrat in the Fourth Con-
gressional dirtrict who had voted for the
Wilson delegates; why at Baltimore he
fought every move of w. J. Bryan and
other progressives who were trying to do
something for the peoples interests and
were fighting the representatives of the
combines who at first apparently had
control of the convention.
Mr.. Progressive Democrat, do not let
them bunco you at this time, when you
are just beginning to reap the benefits of
a fight of a quarter of century. Con-
greesman Cooke has already had two
terms, let him step aside and let the Pro.
gressive Congressional District send a
Progressive Democrat to Congress who
is in sympathy with the spirit of the
times

BRYAN ON NEW CURRENCY
AND BANKING MEASURE.

AND BANKING MEASURE.
In the last edition of the Com
moner Secretary of State Bryal
publishes the following commen
upon and estimate of the valu
ofthe new currency and banking
bill:
Currency reform is ac-
complished at last. For
more than ten years differ
ent bodies. some official and
some unofficial, have been
Investigating the currency
problem, but as the plans
have heretofore had in view
the promotion of the inter
ests of the fnanciers, those
back of them have not dared
to risk the opposition they
were sure to excite.
No other president in re-
cent years has been free to
undertake the reform from
the peoples standpoint, but
when the present executive
took the oath of Office he en-
tered upon his duties with
out obligation to special in
terests and therefore in a
position to urge a change
which would liberate the fl
nancial world from bondage
to the money trust. In a
speech delivered at Harris
burg, Pa, some months be-
fore the Baltimore conven-
tiOn he had called attention
to the source of trouble and
by so doing arrayed against
him all the powerful money
magnates. 1t was fortunate
for both him and the country
that he had this opposition
to meet for it proved they
are impotent when the peo-
pie are aroused. The pres
dent, after assisting in the
preparation of a bill aroused
the public to it's support and
overcame the opposition
which the money centers
endeavOred to organize.
The country has accepted
the new law and the banks
have commenced to adjust
themselves to it. 1t con-
tains provisions Of great
value to the banks and yet
provisions which impose
no burden upon the masses.
The Glass Owen law is a
boon to the business world
giving it access to the
government in time of need
instead of fmaking it depend
ent upon the will of Wall
Street.
''The law is a marvel Of
constructive craftsmanship
and will add to the confidence
already great, which the
people have in the president
''The law (1) recognizes
the right of government to
issue money; (2) recognizes
the right of the government
to regulate the banking bus
mess in the interest of the
people; (3) recognizes the
right of state banks to share
with national banks in the
advantages extended to the
business community through
