A SANE OPPOSITION.

Governor Cox indicates the proper
policy of the Democrats Next March
the Republican party will control both
branches of the government Its task
will be to formulate and carry out policies.
1t will have to be positive and construc-
tive. The Democratic oppsltlon must
critcise, but temperately and larry.
Unreasonable and obstructive tactics
would be foolish politically and also un-
patriotic. The bitterness OF the campaign
should not be revived. "We are Ill the
midst of an emerfencv,' Governor Cox
says, land the nations every resource
should coordinate in behalf of the things
that are helpful.
In more concrete terms the Demo
Gratis should support every well-con-
ceived Republican measure. Ii the Re
publicans can reduce taxation, II they
can prove definitely government ex-
travagance and waste, the overgrowth
and lnefficlency of the Civil Service, and
so on, the Democrats should cooperate
heartily in every practical proposal for
for economy and improvement.
If the Republicans III power should
abate the edge OF the reforming passion
which is easy and traditional III a party
out of power, the Democrats should hold
them to their pledges. BY moderate,
sensible course, by avoiding mere OPP
position for the sake of opposition, by
being business like, specific and helpful
instead of mouthing helated stump
speeches and gnawlng files, the Democrats
can begin their journey back to public con-
fidence.-New York Times.
