canal question it will not end thi:
contest. The present controversy ir
the House is rather a preliminary
symptom.
One more suggestion of a parable
, between the Wilson and a former
! Republican Administration: During
the first year or thereabouts of his
Presidency, Mr.. Taft made some sad
mistakes; but they were set down
to errors of judgment. Among the
rank and file of his party there was
general urwillingncss to fall to and
engage in any warfare against
him. 1t was hoped that he would
redeem himself later. The voice of
harsh criticism was curiously stilled.
Gentlemen might disagree, but they
We're slow to denormce. They might
vote against his program, but they
admitted reluctance to do it. They
feared the possible attitude of their
constituents; they were honest in
not wanting to bring on a desperate
party warfare for control.
But at the end of that first year
or thereabouts the fight came cut
into the open. Mr.. Taft gave the
signal for it when he made the Wi
mona speech.
With President Wilson the expert
ence has been very similar. Opposi-
ton has been reluctant to make
open warfare. But now the canal
question is serving the same pur-
pose that the Winona speech served;
it is bringing the contest out into
the broad daylight. 1t is beginning
to be freely admitted that there is
E fight for party control, with visions
of the national nomination Of 1916
in the minds eye of both sides.
The result of the elections next
November will 60 far toward de-
Gliding the extent to which this party
schism may 60. In 1910, the men
who had opposed President Taft
were, if recollection serves, all vim
dicated at the hands of their con-
stituents. 1t is not recalled that a
single one of the anti-Administration
Republicans suffered defeat at home.
That was the conclusive dcmonstra-
tion of the country's and the party's
drift away from the President. What
will be the result of that same test
next November! It will depend on
widely scattered constituencies, on
some Senatorial, and some Congress
sional fights. But if the men who
are now opposing the President shall
generally receive the approval of
their constituencies there can be no
doubt that opposition to the Presi-
dent will in the succeeding two years
be bolder and more insistent than
in the first half of the Administra-
ton.
To say these things is not to in
dicate a belief that the President
can be defeated for denomination
in any case. The power Of his office
is tremendous, and he has by no
means forfeited his hold on the gen.
eral confidence of the country. What
ever may be the results of the
party's policies as they are written
into law, it is not conceivable that
the feeling of confidence in the
President will be greatly weakened.
If he has divided his own party, it
is also true that he has divided the
Republicans, and that the feeling be-
tween their factions. as to the pres
ent canal issue, is hardly less acute
than between the Democratic groups.
But the political significance Of
these schisrss is vastly greater as
affecting the dominant rarty than as
the opposition.

LONG PRAIRIE.
From the Leader

Our community was shocked last
night to hear that George Fehren-
bacher had died. Very few knew that
he was i'll so that his death came en-
tirely unexpected to his many friends
and acquaintance throughout the VIII
lage. He had been in poor health for
some time past, having been a suffer-
er from rheumatism for many years
but so far as his acquaintance knew
there was nothing new or unusual af-
fecting his health. 1t seems, however,
that on Saturday he was taken ill
with cold which gradually develop
ed, bringing on other complications
and fastening his death. Mr. Fehren-
bacher was one of the old residents
of this village, having lived here for
nearly forty years, He was an hon7T {
est, upright citizen, the type of 2 man aal1
every community needs. He is surYiX-
ed by his wife and one daughter, Mrs.
