Undermining Mr.. Wilson.

Gov Ferris of Michigan promises an
interesting disclosure in a few days.
He has information that democrat OF
national reputation is preparing to OPP
poso Mr.. Wilson for the party leader
ship next year, and that letter con-
Tossing tho purpose is in existence.
JIe withholds particulars. The letter
when produced will fully satisfy pub
lie curiosity.
To defeat the scheme Gov. Ferris
urges upon democrats favorable to
Mr.. Wilson a prompt expression OF
their views. He wants the Michigan
democrats to head the movement. II
his advices are reliable, his recon-
mendation is good.
Who is the man? What democrat as
sociable with the national leadership
of his party is out for Mr.. Wilson'S
scalp? Who of that grade can see
success in any such undertaking?
The Wilson boom for denomination
can neither be torpedoed nor airship-
ped. Too many good scouts are on
guard. Every democratic official in
the country has his orders and Is on
the alert. Any unusual ripple ON the
water or stir in the air will receive in
slant attention. The interests of the
big chief are the interests of all his
subordinates. All are in the same boat.
An attack on Mr.. Wilson. therefore,
must be in the open and on the level.
He cannot be overcome by any of the
fine work of secret maneuvering or
caucus-6xing.
Gov Ferris declares he cannot see a
chance to win without Mr.. Wilson.
There Is none. 1t Is Wilson. or bust"
He is not only the party leader. but
more of a leader than the party has
had since Jackson. In fact, he Is en-
gagged in the experiment of trying to
lit Jacksonian spirit and methods to
these times.
Tho question of the day is. will the
country stand for an imitation of Jack
SON? There are democrats who fear
not For campaign purposes they in
yoke the shade of "Old Hickory" but
realize that the grave at the Hermit
age Is seventy years old. And in those
seventy years many changes have
taken place both in the country and
The democratic party.
Still. these democrats are not oppos-
ing, and will not oppose, Mr.. Wilson
for denomination. They have, in eff
feet. consented to what he has done in
The White House, and realize that the
party stands committed by him. They
expect him to run again, and will sup
bort him.
Undermining Mr.. Wilson cannot be
lone without undermining the demo-
ratio party. The more the situation
> examined the palmer this fact be-
comes. And the man who holds the
opposite opinion and acts on it is on
:he wrong course and wasting his time.
i is Wilson, or bust and it may be
Wilson, and bust" But the demo-
ratio party must take chances.

The Newly Nominated Commissioner

In selecting a successor to Commits
sioner Siddons the President goes again
to the newspaper ranks and chooses
Louis P. Brownlow, who IS Well fdentl-
fed with Washington through several
years of journalistic work, and Is
closely acquainted with local affairs.
Mr.. Brownlow is known to possess
marked executive ability, and will
without doubt prove an efficient mu-
nicipal administrator. 1t is important
that he should be promptly confirmed,
to the end of his early assumption OF
duty at the District building, from
which Judge Sfddons will retire tomor-
row.

Exposition of Folly,
,m the Wilmington Journal.

From the Wilmington Journal.
Many persons Of the present day de-
plore the fact that the columns Of the
contain so many stories of
vice and CRIME. Bishop Horne, how
ever, seemed to feel that such EXPOSE
lions serve a useful purpose He
wrote: 1.-THE follies. vices and conse-
quent miseries of multitudes, displayed
in a newspaper, are so many admoni-
tions and warnings. SO many beacons
continually burning, to turn others
from the rocks on which they have
been shipwrecked."

Speech!

Oh, human speech is something
strange;
It's uses very widely range.
1t may express a truth sublime:
1t may be used for killing time.
One man a bunch of words will take
And keep his hearers wide awake.
Another with the selfsame lot
Will make them sleepy, like as not.
The dictionary shows a list
OF words whose meaning can't be
missed;
But when in lines we string them out
They fill us with eternal doubt.
