One Democratic Term Enough.

Governor Colquitt of Texas in blunt
ly declaring the failure OF the Wilson
administration is only expressing
what plenty Of other Democrats are
thinking. 1t is the truth that has
dawned upon the party since the late
election. The glamour which enveloped
the presidents leadership of the party
was largely, if not completely, dissi-
pated when the election demonstrated
that the,policies which he forced upon
congress were not acceptable to the
country
The country has given very i'm
pressive notice that one term of a
Democratic administration is as much
as it cares for, and while the president
has managed to avoid any Endorsement
of the one-term plank of the last Dem
ocratic ma ional platform, the people
are likely to see to it that 1t is made a
reality in this instance

NOT As RECORDED
Mr.. Wilson Makes Absurd Claims
for Party.
Achievements for Which He Asks
Credit Shown to Belong to the
Republicans Long List OF
Progressive Measures

II We were devotedly attached to
| the Democratic party. as we certainly
are not, if we thought the Republican
party was all wickedness and sin. as
We certainly do not, we think we still
should be able to see plain facts to
which Mr.. Wilson. both as politician
and a historian. is blind. declares the
New York Press
Did Mr.. Wilson's Democratic party
in the less than two years it has had
possession of the government estab-
lish the national control of railway
rates. or did some other party, years
before Mr.. Wilson went to the White
House?
Did Mr.. Wilson's Democratic party
enact the antitrust laws after March
I, 1913, or did some other party do that
work years before that date?
Did MIR. Wilson's Democratic party
stop railroad rebating. take combina-
tions in restraint of trade into court
and break up such monopolies. or was
this work begun and to all intents and
purposes finished before Mr.. Wilson,
at least in his present official capacity,
ever saw or dreamed of the White
House?
Did Mr.. Wilson's Democratic party
set up and put into operation the
policy of conserving the resources OF
the United States. or was this
achievement put into full swing two
whole presidential terms before Mr..
Wilson was elected to the chief mag
istracy of this nation?
Did rtr. Wilson's Democratic party
in the last twenty-odd months acquire
the Panama strip, plan the canal
across the isthmus. provide s35o.o00,ooo
for the work and build it. or did two
previous administrations perform that
.eat, leaving it to Mr.. Wilson's admin
istration to open the lock gates after
the work was done?
There may be difference of opin-
ion among honest men as to whether
the Republican party did good thing
or bad thing when it took SO progress
sive course as to establish control
of railway rates; but there can be, no
difference of opinion as to the fact
that it was the Republican party which
did it.
The same thing is true of all the
other progressive measures we have
mentioned, Whether they were the
wisest things in the world or not. they
were Republican achievements, every
one of them; and all the Democratic
party has had to do with those pro
gressive measures has been to admin
lister them after they we're brought
into existence and operation by the
Republican party.

When Edward Nv returned to Eng
land in 1471, ten years after he sue
ceeded to the throne, he obtained
some forces from his brother-inlaw,
the duke of Burgundy, including 300
F1emings armed with hand guns, thus
being the first to introduce these
weapons into England. Afterward they
became common. At first they were
fred by the application of a lighted
match to the powder by the hand. The
match was a wick lighted and pressed
against the powder in the pan. The
invention Of a lock to fire the powder
in place of the hand was suggested by
the trigger of the crossbow. The
matchbox fired the arquebus, or
harquebus, used by the soldiers Of the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in
projecting a ball which weighed near.
ly two ounces.
