 WILSON'S ATTACK

ugtEOOtt - ltl ltAOti INDIANAPOLIS. Ind Feb 2 Sen ator sherman of Illinois replied To President Wilson's recent Jackson day speech in an address here Satur day before Che Indiana Republican Editorial Association He arraigned Che President and his administration, criticised Che work of tine present Congress and promised the country an early return to prosperity under Re- publican rule and a restored protective tariff
 Quoting the presidents declaration that the Republican party had not had a now idea in thirty years the sem ator asked:
 "Where has this Rip Van Wrinkle slept the last thirty years who now ubs his eyes and says the Republican party has not had new idea in an ha, ume2 The great national statutes of thirty years have sprung from the councils that party He cannot dis tneuish between the morning light or Republican sunrise oi things doing and done and the dusk that is falling on the Democracy"
 The President recently admitted In Indianapolis" Senator sherman said at the outset "that the Democrats are a minority party and that they aro stm on trial The returns of the last November election indicate that he is unable 10 distinguish between
 'aI and a verdict against the de- fendant"
 Referring to President Wilson's election "by majority" when the majority mas divided the Senator said.
 "If three men be in a race and two stop and quarrel, the third can walk to tbe goal and win. but let not the victor eXult in his speed for hc won not on his own swifness hut by the quarrel of his adversarie7 The less shall he invoke 'is decep- tive stregth 10 justify legislation to which his adversaries are both op- posed For when his adversaries shall see that what has been wrought by President Wilson they will rise toecther and overthrow him.
 "The President must and does as- sumes the responsibility for both the legislative an dexecutive acts Of his administration. Congress until re- gently, has only reeistered his exec utive decree. The first sign Of leg Sslative independence evoket & constitutional npresident. sworn to do his duties They are the lawless proclamation Of a man who has thrown aside the order and procedure Of government by law and constituted the unregulatad will of the arbitrary and accidental man
 "T5e president assaults the United States Senate in language the seua- tors are forbidden to use toward each other even in the, acrimony of per sonal debate. While his attack is on the Republican minority. it reach es an senators who do not agree with him.
 Tn dealing with men nothing is gained by ure-emptory orders to shut up. This language may be used in the Kindergarten. An executive who applies it to the United States sen ate betrays his inability to erap the difference between an independent legislative power in the conduct of human affairs and the absolute do- minion of his arbitrary impatience.
 Cease your talking he says. "You are misguided. blind ignorant. have settled everything I have cleared the decks" He has said how the business of the country shall be done. how the Philippines shal be governed how our water powers shall be handled. how the resources of the public do- main imprisoned because of evces- sive conservation shall be unlocked: how the government freight boats shall be run by the government at 8 cost of profit and then sold out to
