Wilson Not Always Perfect.


1t is a small matter, but we confess.
we should have higher respect for
Doctor Wilson's methods of rhetorical
depression if he would cease certify
ing so frequently to the entire sincerity
of his utterances.
There are continual manifestations
of an inveterate habit which it is per-
haps more reasonable to consider as a
literary vice than as moral infrm-
ity. The presidents state papers. ad-
mirable in many ways for clearness
and apt phrasing, would gain much
in force if he could be made to see
that nothing is more calculated to
weaken confidence in persons sim
cerity than frequent protestations Of
this sort.
The president can also strengthen
his style by eliminating nine out of
ten of the "verys" which he expends
SO profusely.
