Republicans Lose Issue

HAT ancient and always unreliable super
stition to the genera. effect that Wood
row Wilson was poor politician has re-
ccivcd so many staggering blows in the last
three years that little vitality remains in it,
but even that lingering remnant is due now
to disappear. In taking the leadership in
the plans for national defense. the President
has destroyed the single healthy political
issue by means Of which the Republicans had
hoped to regain power.
They tried desperately TO get the public
excited over the Mexican problem and the
policy of "watchful waiting" but they had no
success. Perhaps the President has not been
at his best in dealing with this veXed Ques-
uon-ccrtainly he has no notable
triumph-but the critic host. although both
numerous and vcnOmouS never suggested
measures that promised more satisfactory re-
suits. In this state Of the case, the American
people stoidly refused to feel that passionate
resentment so madly urged
The administrations conduct OF the coun-
try's foreign relations. products of the Euro
pean war, next received attention. but the
Republican politicians were too astute to at
tack openly in this quarter Privately. they
encouraged Germanophle and Anglophie
disa Election, but in the light of day they were
constrained to admit that Mr. Wilson's sturdy
Americanism and unhinching insistence tina,
neutral rights be respected by both bellig-
crents had their approval and Endorsement.
Only such newspapers as the New York
Tribune, which wanted this country to de-
clare war on Germany. and the New York
Journal. which wanted war with England
only such politicians as Colonel Roosevelt and
Herman Rider remained unsatsficd So
this issue failed also
Then the Republicans got out their old
stand blythe tariff--and tried il on a long
suffering public. There was no response
Even New England was apathetic to the time
worn appeal.
The national defense program was thought
to be Il valuable find. Its use was heralded
by various malicious and untruthful attacks
on the President and members OF his Cabi-
net. whom il was sought TO hold responsible
for army and navy conditions that had pre-
vailed for years before Mr. Wilson entered
politics. The country began TO see that il
should be prepared for defense. and the Re
publican leaders hoped they would stir the
President To such resentment that he would
place himself on the wrong side Of a popular
issue.
But he refused to he caught in this trap
Refusing also To be hurried, he made up his
mind calmly as 10 the country's needs, con
suited with his Cabinet and the experts of
the War and Navy Departments, and then
formulated and announced comprehensive
and consistent policy. to which only minor
exceptions can he taken. He has received
the promised allegiance of most of the lead
crS OF his party. including the party leaders
in Congress. He has the people behind him
There is every probability that his program
with some changes, will be the one finally
adopted.
And the Republicans arc left without an
issue on which even they believe they can
win,

GRADUAL MARKETING
OF COTTON ADVISED

SAN ANTONIO, Sept 3O.-Farmers
Of Texas and of the south should
market their cotton gradually II it
is worth II cents a pound today they
should see that it remains at this
price or goes higher They should
rot dump AN of their cotton on the
market at this time and thereby
cause a slump in the price
This advice is given by Joseph
Hrsch of Corpus Christi, president
of the Texas Bankers association.
president Of the cotton states bankers
conference and member of the agr,-
cultural committee Of the American
Bankers association.
Mr.. uirsCh does not advise farmers
TO refuse TO take advantage Of the pre-
yailius high price for their staple but
he urges that they use sound iudg-
mcnt I'm the marketing OF the crop.
lie says a great rush by the farmers
an over the south To- dispose of their
cotton at the present market price
would send the market down by leaps
and bounds. and this despite the fact
that the crop will only be between
eleven million and twelve million
pales.
