Constructive Legislation Is Safe

N ESPITE an apparent shrinking in the
- Democratic ma jorities in the Senate and
House. il now seems certain that there is
still ma jority in both branches OF Congress.
Apart from all other considerat ions. apart
from all questions OF party pride. this fact is
sufficient to sustain the country'S confidence.
For il means that Woodrow Wilson's great
program OF constructive lcsisa ton, carried
on, almost in its entirety by Il Democratic
Congress. cannot. for at least four years, be
upset by the rcactionary opponents OF Democ-
racy. The Federal reserve act. the farmers
loan act and all the other reformatOry and
progressive measures pressed by the admin
istration are saved TO the country.
