Ienue standpoint or from the pro-
lection standpoint. The issue IN
the 1912 campaign was whether
we should have a revenue tariff
or a protection tariff. The op-
Iponents of the former, realizing
that popular opinion was against
them, sought to confuse the is
sue by talking of a commission
land in order to prevent the con-
fusion of issues the Democrats
were obliged to appear as oppoS-
ing a commission. They never
did object to a scientific inveSti-
cation of the various schedules,
and now they have taken oppor-
.tunity to provide for this.
The President put the case for
the ship purchase bill as strongly
as it could be put in so few
words. An emergency exists
this is a temporary measure of
relief-if not this, what? Such
was his argument. That discus
sion of such a measure can be
and ought to be helpful is evil
dent. There are several provis-
ions of the bill now before the
Senate the scope and Importance,
and possibly the danger, of
which have not been appreciated
either by Congress or the people
of the United States. These
features should be thoroughly
debated. But after the Presi-
dents straightforward talk, and
his straightforward challenge to
those who propose to beat the
bill by flibustering, we doubt if
any unreasonable delays will be
tolerated. At any rate, we
should not like to be the Senator
responsible for them.
1t is not possible to comment
on all the subjects touched upon
by the President, but the fine
thing about the whole utterance
was the spirit which rang
through tia splendid humanity.
a fine optimism, a great belief in
the people. The man from the
White House never appeared tc
better advantage as a democrat
whether that word be spelled
with a little or big D.

President Wilson at indianapolis.

EreSlQent wilson at Indianapolis
From the Baltimore Sun.
The most interesting feature OF
the Presidents address at India
napolis was his reference to the
Independent voter. So far as we
know, no President of the United
States has ever before been so
frank regarding this matter.
Others may have acknowledged
that the Independents form the
balance of power-or have
known it if they did not acknowl-
edge it-none other has said
that the things they want are
the things he wants. None other
ference, as there is between the
party led by Roosevelt and the
party led by Taft. The indie
pendent refuses to let a party
name tie him to principles and
policies to which he objects.
Independent voting tends to
purify the great political parties.
They must cater to the indepen-
dent vote, even as the President
of the United States is now cat
ering to it, openly and unasham-
has so thoroughly identified HIM
self with them in spirit. Curtis
and Godkin and Wallis would
have reioiced to see this day.
Parties are, of course, neces-
sary to government in this coun-
try. but the little group Of indie
pendents is equally necessary. 1t
is really inaccurate to speak of
them as nonpartisan they have
strong prepossessions and pref
udices and are anything but
neutral about anything. Intrin-
sically they are not infrequently
more regular than the party man
who boasts of his regularity the
regularity of the one is a matter
of substance of the other a mat
ter of form. Parties themselves
change from day to day. Be
tween the party which would
make Bryan President
and the party which would
place Parker in that office
there is a great intrinsic diff
ed. If it tends to keep the
parties pure in the matter of
adherence to principle
it is even more necessary
to keep them pure in the
, matter Of m honesty
that is, to hold the political ma.
chine in restraint. The object
of the machine is to control gov.
eminent regardless of public
opinion. 1t is thus in direct an.
tagonism to the purpose of a pc.
litical party, which is to contro.
government in accordance with
public opinion. Party ties, ther
are absolutely not binding wher
a machine gets control of a par,
ty and perverts it to its own uses
More and more the people are
coming to realize this. Party
ties do not bind as they used to
Colonel Roosevelt and his Pro.
gressive party movement contri
buted greatly to the spread o.
right thought on this subject.
This and more the Presiden'
has seen, as his speech indicated
We share his ambition to max,
every Independent voter in tn,
country a Democratic voters,
long as that party remains as j
is at present, so long as it stand.
for the things Woodrow Wilson
stands for, so long as it proves a
effective in administration as
has been during the last tw
years. When it departs fror
these standards we hope that tn
Independent voters will depar
from it, for thus will the part
learn the error of its ways an
the more quickly return to tn
paths of righteousness.
