the bonds which bound his party. The
capacity to get things done is the test
of leadership, and SO Wilson surely
leads. That it is sane leadership the
future is likely to recognize.
| Whatever criticism may he made of
what the president has done it will
have to be recognized that he has given
jolt to the long maintained republican
claim of the right to govern this coun-
try by virtue of democratic incom
! potency. The course Of the democratic
party during the civil war put it under
a cloud that was long in lifting.
Occasionally the sun shone through
this cloud during the last half century,
but not for long. The two terms Of
Grover Cleveland lifted the ban on the
democracy little; the country gave
somewhat reluctant praise to this presi
dent while in office and little to his
party as represented in Congress.
Unity and the ability to use it in con-
structive legislation did not distinguish
the democracy, but the contrary.
Democrats in Congress differed widely
in their views and exhibited no tact in
yelling these Emergencies. "The wild
horses Of democracy were not amen
able to discipline, and no sensible
1nn ~.
came has been able to drive them to a
common goal.
Men of independent thought and
broad vision deplored the fact that it
seemed impossible to build up party
of opposition fit seriously to dispute
control of the country with the re-
publicans. 1t is inevitable that party
long in power grows unresponsive to
public opinion and dares much. The
belief that, in the popular phrase, the
rulers Of a party "can get away with
almost anything does not conduce to
unseltish wisdom in legislation. 1t
does not pay for the people to narrow
the margin of safety in progressive
government by keeping one set of men
too long in power lest they presume on
popular favor and grow arrogant. Our
past has amply demonstrated this
proposition. Public interests are safest
when the voters stand ready to approve
a record deserving of Endorsement, but
are always watchful not to permit
either party to become intrenched to an
extent that lessons that sense of
responsibility to the people which is
our safeguard.
If the democrats are to be saved from
overthrow in November it will be be-
cause of the things which they have
been inspired to do by the leadership of
President Wilson. Their hope of
salvation lies in the number of the
voters who share the view which
Thomas A. Edison has put in these
words: ''Mr Wilson has now had
about four years Of experience, and he
has earned faith and trust I do not
think it logical or sensible thing to
change to an inexperienced and untried
man just for the sake Of change, or
without much better reasons being
given for the change than Il have
noted" Mr. Edison has never been a
democrat, but thinks for himself in
politics as in the field of invention. It
seems altogether likely that the voters
who, regardless of previous political
affiliations, hold the Edison view, are
many.

The railroad dearly wanted that
piece of land. It could not get it at
any price. The public clamor against
it frightened the town council into
refusing to negotiate. And without
it as a terminal the railroad would
have to tunnel under half a mile of
mountain to bring its goods into the
city.
John was the only man who knew
the facts from end to end. A pre-
