The Wilson Organization.

The republicans charge the President
with building u machine in furtherance
of his desire for a second term. AS
they read events. the men he is ap-
pointing to office are such as he can
rely on to work for him next year
Hence his picking men without consul
tation with, and even against the pro-
tests Of his constitutional advisers. and
insisting on their confirmation without
inquiry by the Senate.
Machine" is one of the harsh words
of politics 1t goes with boss" and
"'henchman." Its polite equivalent Is
Organization as the polite equivalent
of boss is leader" and that OF
.'henchman.' lieutenant
Let us employ the polite word. NJ.
Wilson has an organization. and the
members favor second term for him.
Many are in office. and others may be
appointed to office before the next
presidential campaign begins. All VIII
exert themselves ia behalf of the man
to whom they owe their places. Not
one will consider him barred by the
plank in the Baltimore platform re-
specting Il single term in the White
House.
This has been true of nearly every
administration. Federal office-holders
have as Il rule taken their cue from the
White House. They have remembered
their creator in the days of his aspi-
rations. When he has desired second
term they have worked for him.
In one instance they went further. In
1896 many federal office holders either
opposed or were lukewarm toward the
democratic candidate for President be-
cause their chief was opposing him.
Mr.. Cleveland fixed the status toward
Mr.. Bryan OF nearly all the men he had
appointed to office. Only one member
of his cabinet retired in order to sup
port the party's nominee. Mr.. Smith
now one of the senators from Georgia
did not subscribe to Mr.. Bryan's free
silver views, but felt bound by the at
titude of his home people, who did.
Mr.. Wilson's organization should not
find it difficult to line up the rank and
file for the denomination feature of the
program. The argument is SO strong
for that it needs scarcely more than
statement. The party's sole hope is
in the man now on deck
1t will be later when the organization
must hump itself. Then every man
whom Mr.. Wilson has favored will be
expected to favor him. All must get
busy, and stay busy until election day.
If the republicans put up ticket ac-
ceptable alike to those who left that
party in 1912 and those who supported
Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Wilson. even with a pow
erful machine, will have hard road
to travel.

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT Is DOING

had been given free publicity at first.
Smallpox today Is little feared in
practically all communities, because the
health authorities know how to fight
does not occasion the fear which 1t
spread few generations ago. In
speaking of the practice Of giving pub
licity to communicable disease when
officer of the public health service said
yesterday:
TT has been the experience in this
country that whenever an unusual out
break of any communicable disease oc-
CURED in city. and more particularly
in the large cities, the commercial IN
terests. often through the local press:
attempt to belittle the importance OF
the outbreak and to refrain from pub
fishing full information. The usual re-
suit of such a course is that rumors be-
gin to spread to the neighborinG COM
munities and states.
"Rumors. in the absence Of knowl-
edge of the facts. seem to produce in
the minds of the people of the neigh
boring places a fear and dread out OF
all proportion to that merited by ac-
tual conditions. In many such cases
the establishment of quarantines which
interfere with business are made by
nearby cities and considerable embar-
rassment is caused UNNECESSARILY. In
it's own interest. and to avoid uncalled-
for fears and unwarranted precautton-
airy methods on the part OF other COM
munitieS. the only course city can
follow when it has an unusual out
break of a communicable disease is full
publicity.
qualification of the facts about an
epidemic creates in the minds of out
siders belief that the affected COM
munity has conditions we'll in hand and
is capable of controlling the epidemic.
Publicity seems to show confidence on
the part of the affected community and
to produce confidence in others. The
suppression of the facts has just the
reverse effect, causing fears and sus-
picions and resulting in unnecessary
quarantines.
