Wilson's Words Of Mystery.

In hsSSybline role Mr. Wilson Is most in.
teresting. He filled his closing address OF
Shadow Lawn with gloomy forebodings and OBJ
scure hints of something of dreadful portent
lowering over the United States, to be avertsd
only through his continuance in power. Mr..
Wilson commenced his administration in the
same way, going before congress with personal
statement Of serious complications with an un-
named world power. sure to follow if his wish
were not granted. All through his career as
president, he has thrown out from time to time
mysterious predictions of misfortune of calamity
waiting just ahead, from which his foresight and
prudence alone could save the nation. Why
doesn't he come out in the open and tell the pub
lie the real nature of some of these bogies he is
forever suggesting? He is pledged to "pitess
publicity" and shrinks at the thought OF "ins
visible government" so wouldn't he but be living
up to his professions If he to take us all into
his confidence, and>tel us from what source we
are to look for the dsastera He'll bave the peo-
pie soon looking on his powerful foe as did Mrs.
Harris on Sairey> Camps friend: 81 don't be-
lieve there never was no such person"

Comparison and Contrast.

Oxford Neb., Nov. 6.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: We are about to
elect a president, and there are but
two scores by which we may wisely
Judge their fitness-first, by the, party
they represent, and second, by their
ability to understand and their firm
ness to execute the. laws and policies
of our government as shown by their
public record.
Hughes, as a legislator, as an execu-
tive of New York state and as a Judge
Of our. highest court. has shown an
aptitude, to meet squarely and justly
every duty and obligation devolving
upon him while in those offices The
party he represents came. into power
with the election of Abrahams Lin
coin, and Mr.. Wilson's managers are
now likening the present administra-
ton to that OF Lincoln, and even claim
that Wilson has had to meet the more
grave and difficult problems. There
is not one iota of truth in the claim
or in the comparison. Lincoln found,
on taking the office, bankrupt treas
ury, our national credit destroyed and
our government shaking to Its very
foundations from an organized rebel
lion. This deplorable condition came
about under a democratic administra-
ton lacking in financial ability and
processing that they would keep US
out of war. On the other hand
Woodrow Wilson, on taking the reins
from the republicans, found treas
ury full to overfowing, national
credit the best on the globe; he found
united, happy and prosperous peo-
pie and firm, powerful union which
was at peace and respected at home
and abroad, Under the republican
party, the blqodiest and most cruel re-
bellioh was terminated and reunion
maghanimously organized. Since that
time our nations wonderful growth
in wealth, prosperity and world
achievements has been under the
leadership and guiding hand of the
republican party.
The democratic party too, is quite
different In convention assembled
in 1864 they openly declared the war
failure (now Wilson says it is
treason to say. aught against his wob-
bling Mexican policy. They then
told us the war must be stopped and
that Abraham Lincoln must be re-
called, Today the same democratic
party is praising Lincoln, admitting

What Of Bryan,s Political Future1

At this particular time little speculation on
the political future Of William Jennings Bryan
may be- entertaining, even though premature.
Is Mr.. Bryan to continue to be figure in ma
tional politics or is he to drop out? The answer
naturally depends somewhat upon the, result Of
this election
1t goes without saying that whether Wilson
is defeated or elected the democratic party will
have to have another standard-besrer four years
from now 1t also goes without saying that Mr..
Bryan's ambition to occupy the White House has
mot been completely extinguished by three hope
less efforts
To whom can the democratic party turn or,
rather, whom other than Bryan can the demo-
Gratis develop as an acceptable rational leader
in the coming four years? Can any one else get
in front Of him in that short timer
True Mr.. Bryan's position must rest, in a
large degree, on control by his friends Of the
democratic organization of his own state. He
must have the home folks" behind him to COM
mand consideration abroad. And the chief OBJ
stacle before him is the control Of the demo-
cratic organization in Nebraska by the political
highbindefs who are his personal and party enc
mics Mr., Bryan also is certain Of steady back
fire from the principal democratic newspaper
organ Of Nebraska. Senator Hitchcoek's World
Herald, directed by an, envious self-seeker who
has felt the abasement forced upon him>by the
recognition accorded Bryan in the national coun-
ellis. Of the party. II Mr. Bryan is to maintain
position Of leadership his next great battle"
must be to drive the democratic money changers
out Of the inner sanctuary iof his own party in
Nebraska.
This Is the significance of the skirmishing
which has been taking place within the demo-
cratic lines since the prelude to the April pri-
mary. II is the import Of this years campaign for
Mr.. Bryans future activity in politics.

Watching Popular Drift

Mr.. Wilson's Cincinnati speech was not tie
first in which he revealed the fact that he shapes
his official course by HIS conception Of the popu-
lar drift The first intimation anybody had
except the democratic members of the house ju-
dietary committee who pigeon-holed the proposed
amendment on the strength OF a private letter
from the president-elect to A. Mitchell Palmer
that Mr. Wilson would violate his single-tcrm
pledge came in speech during the first year Of
his administration, when he told Of looking out
over the Potomac and trying to read the public
mind. In bit Of Hibernan merriment proceed
ing bovine encounter, he conhded to the coun-
try in his Jackson day speech at Indianapolis in
1915 that Woodrow sat back and chuckled"
when numerous editors thought they were re-
fecting the nations sentiment as, to admnistSa-
tion dealings with Mexico In an address to the
National Press club he again commented on the
difficulty OF ascertanng popular sentiment He
reminded the correspondents that while each
thought he knew what the people of his own Sec
ton were thinking nobody was sure OF it. He
prided himself on his superior ability at Inter
preting the nations thought which is euphem-
ism for Catching tho popular drift"
The whims he has most systematically studied
since the congressional elections OF 1914 were
those of the progressives. That was why he pro-
posed clumsy and invalid federal presidential
primary scheme as the chief recommendation to
the short session OF the sixty-third congress.
That is why he favored federal trade commits

plains his reversal on the subject OF tariff com.
mission. 1t accounts for his eager advocacy Of a
federal child labor law, although as publicist he
said that such measure could be upheld only by
ian absurdly extravagant Interpretation OF the
constitution" Thai is why he abandoned his
contention that the governments relations to a
rural credit system should be merely supervisory.
II was in difference to popular sentiment that
he switched on the subject OF preparedness and
joined the ranks Of nervous. and excited men

Labor Not Easily Fooled:

Those democratic politicians who think the
labor vote can be berded ITO the polls in mass
are making serious mistake, The workingmen
Of America are not fools, and have every reason
to keep fully abreast Of political Developments
Moreover, they know when an attempt is being
made to. deceive them and are we'll aware Of the
emptiness Of democratic pretense OF friendly in
terest, having had long experience in the SOUTH
where the democratic party is in full control and
from whence it gets whatever or strength it has
in the nation. The sham OF the Adamson law
is we'll understood by the workers, who are also
fully alive to the fact that the child labor law and
the compensation law for federal employees was
forced on the president against his will and car
lried through congress BY republican votes. These
facts cannot be hidden by democratic clamor
II the democrats are so solicitous for the well
fare Of Che workers. and sincere IN their profess
sion Of desire TO help, why didn't they raise the
pay Of the government employees in the District
Of Columbia where many hundreds are working
for such miserable pittance as would make a
slave driver blushi One grave digger, employed
at the Arlington cemetery, testified that his pay
was $40 month, that his family had not tasted
meat for many weeks and he didn't know when
they would again, and his fellows were in ,the
same fix. He was locked for the time he lost
from work in going before the house committee,
and the bill again was laid over although it has
BEEN before two democratic congresses, At the
federal building in Omaha janitors and char
women are paid at the lowest rate, and have been
compelled to take vacations without pay, that

their pay reduced, that Mr.. Burleson could in
fate fake surplus in his department. Further
more, the eight-hour law for postal employees is

uation are met with threats Of dismissal from the
service.

ing star of Senator Hitchcock's cam

Something, however, has suddenly
occurred, something in the way of an
unknown force, which has made it
politically expedient for Chris to vir-

endeavors to assail the character of

Quinby Restates His Reasons.

Omaha, Nov. 5,-To the Editor of
The Bee: AS to Senator Hitchcock,
for whom l have voted every time he
has been a candidate for anything.
his action four years ago disappointed
me. Even after Wilson was elected
and inaugurated Senator Hitchcock
continued his opposition to him, and
always along reactionary lines. j do
not now recall. and / doubt If bis
most ardent friends can recall, q sin
gle piece of progressive Legislation
backed by Wilson that did not receive
Hitchcock's opposition. Indeed,
heard the senator at our Commercial
club luncheon, during those days,
confess to his audience that. though
he was democrat. at Washington he
often stopped to examine himself to
see if he were democrat or repub-
lican. Truly he was right, for thou
sands of others at that time had the
same difficulty about him.
You surely have not forgotten that
during that time Hitchcock was the
one member of his party on his COM
mittee to join with five republicans
to force through substantial dupli-
cate of the Aldrich currency scheme,
plan which had received the specific
condemnation Of the Baltimore plat
form, / do not criticise some amend
meats which he finally made to the
bank bill; that is not now the ques-
ton. The fact is that he was the
constant antagonist of the president.
You have not forgotten his fight
against the presidents shipping bill,
as we'll as every other forward move
ment. The presidents Indianapolis
speech at that time censured certain
senators, among whom was Hitch
cock. ~
Yet there was a sudden transforma-
ton in the senator's actions. 1t was
at the time when Mr.. Bryan had an
apparent difference with Wilson.
Then Hitchcock transformed from an
antagonist to supporter. l dislike
to question motives, but judging by
the senator's subsequent, actions, some
iof which were mentioned in the letter
to which you take exceptions, l am
forced to the conclusion that he
thought this difference between Will
son and Bryan afforded him the OPP
portunity to accomplish Bryan's hui
initiation. He and his paper have
done much work in this direction
since that time.
Whatever regret might have from
personal considerations l feel that
my attitude is right L. J. QUINBY.
