OPPOSITION BENEFICIAL

Members of the political party OPP
posed to President Wilson are making
much of the opposition which is de-
veloping in some. of the southern
states to the policy of the president.
To their mind this is to the detri-
ment of the Democratic party, but
the real thinkers of the party see this
as an asset rather than liability.
For too many years there has been
too much sectionalism in politics for
the good of all the people of the coun-
try, and we are of the opinion that a
little breaking up of political fac
tions is a good thing, even though 1t
may temporarily disrupt a party.
We cannot but think that what
President Wilson will lose through
the DETECTION of some of the southern
states, will more than be made up
through the same influence in the
northern and western states.
President Wilson has not catered
to the political interests of the south
and has not allowed them to dominate
his policies, and it is to be expected
that he would be opposed by those
he opposed.
A little family jar is sometimes
beneficial to the people, and if we can
get rid of some of the bonehead lead
ers of both parties through this agen-
cy we believe the country will be
better off in the future.
President Wilson is still the ac-
knowledged leader of the Democratic
party and according to the best in
formation we can get will have no
trouble in handling the San Francisco
convention. Even should he fail in
this, the stand he has taken will work
for good and the leaders will be a
trihe more careful in the future as
to the kind of material they offer the
people as candidates.
A solid political alignment is det-
riment to a party, for the reason that
the people as a whole have little or no
than voting, and the sooner the poll
tical scales balance in the United
States the sooner the government will
be returned to the people, rather
than being played in the hands of
politicians who play the game from a
purely political standpoint-the peo-
pie be hang.
Perhaps the light is beginning to
break.
