Confidence in Wilson.

Waterloo Democrat: A friend of the
editor of the Democrat who is pro
fessor of history at the University of
Wisconsin recently allowed US to read
a letter from friend holding similar
position in the University of Chicago.
Here is an extract:
'Are these not marvellous times: All Europe
war mad Wilson is my only hope in Washing
ton. If he says war, am content; if he says
peace I am also CONTEXT. SO much confidence
have in the discretion and wisdom Of the Pres
ident Of the United States There have been
few like Woodrow Wilson in poise and clear
headedness. If only there was chance for an
other such, four years hence.
Truly very remarkable tribute from
one of the leading historians of the
United States.

TRUTH STRANGER AND WORSE
THAN FICTION

In Old Mortality Sir Walter Scott
tells in his masterful manner how, act
uated by fanaticism and craftsmanship,
Scotch covenanters allowed Boutwell,
bridge to fall to their arch enemy
Claverhouse rather than follow the he
role young Henry Morton in its defense.
They stood on Louden hill disputing
and expostulating while the day was
lost. But this striking chapter from a
great historical novel was outdone by
the actualities Of the closing hours Of
the Sixty Fourth congress.
A little group of wilful men rendered
government helpless. Using that ugly
and rusty old weapon, senatorial toler
ance of talk, they took the life CT a
measure of great Importance to the
welfare of this great nation in this
awful world crisis. They made a trav-
esty of majority rule; and upon major
ity rule our government is founded
Their names will be had in derision.

RETURN JUDGE MARSHALL.

After quoting approvingly para
graph from this paper asking for the
return of Judge Marshall to the su
preme bench, The Bloomington Record
says:
And the Democrat might have added
that Judge Marshall 5 only opponent,
Attorney General Owen, was elected
to that position only last fall under
the tacit understanding, of course,
that he would serve out his term; that
on January 1st he became partner in
a private law firm in Madison, and his
present candidacy for the supreme
court adds strength to the belief that
personal welfare is far greater con-
sideration with him than public ser
vice-a pretty good reason for keeping
him off the supreme bench.

GOVERNOR MARCUS H. HOLCOMB.
and opposite each will be not only the
nature and amount of goods it turns
out, but the nature and amount of war
supplies it could turn out under pres
sure. !.
Under the active direction of Gov
ernor Holcomb, 5000 volunteer work
ers are engaged in the preparation Of a
card catalogue of the entire male pop
ulation sixteen years Of age and over.
There are more than 100000. This will
bear complete details, showing the age,
nationality and physical condition.
1t will show whether the man listed
has any one dependent on him and thus
whether it would be fair to allow him
to enlist in the army at the first call.
It will show whether he has had any
perience and thus whether it would be
wise for the government to allow him
to bear rifle when perhaps he might
render far more valuable service as a
surgeon or munitions worker or mem
Der Of the signal corps
Similarly every factory, large and
small, is being listed separately. Con-
fdential and closely guarded informa-
ton given by the owners to the gov
ernor will afford him an exact idea of
the resources Of every industry. He
will know, too, how many workers,
trained and unframed, are needed to
equip each factory and how easily new
workers can be trained to take the
places Of the more highly skilled who
may be needed elsewhere.
The proposal to make the inventory
was placed before Governor Holcomb
by one of the leading attorneys of
Hartford on the night following Presi-
dent Wilson's announcement Of the
break in relations with Germany.
The governor was quick to seize the
idea. He arranged to address a joint
session of the assembly the following
day. In just 800 words he outlined
what he wanted.
Citing the costly experience of Great
Britain, he said that "a prerequisite OF
a mobilization of men and Industries is
the collection and classification Of in
formation as to the available resources
of the country. If we are to serve
bravely and efficiently we must begin
early and act promptly
Within an hour after the governor
had finished speaking the bill providing
for the census, approved by both houses
was presented for his signature.

Congressman Rucker says that if at
any time the Democrats are largely in
the minority it is only case of arrested
mental development which will yield to
treatment. The return of Senator La
Toilette and Congressman Nelson by
large majorities last fall was certainly
a case of arrested mental development
on the part of their constituents. By
voting for the Gore and Nc Lemore
resolutions they had served the country
badly. And back in power again at
Washington, last week they carried
their stubborn opposition to the general
welfare still farther and did all in their
power to Illustrate the efforts Of patri-
otto statesmen who were trying, in time
of need, to strengthen the hands of the
President of the United States.

that q considerable number of King
