That It lias been in the high-: est degree successful is. we think, the sober judgment of the country. The president has, as lie deserves to have, the confidence of tlie people. F'or he has served them faithfully and intelligently—and with a whole-hearted de votion to them and tiieir interests. It is much to have got through a currency bill and a tariff bill—both admira- i ble measures —in one year; much to have helped bring about the ratification of the arbitration treaties. Under liis leadership it seems certain tiiatu the free toll subsidy will be abolished. I Here is almost work enough to be distributed over four years. But quite as important is the good feeling that exists lietween the president and the people and between Lie president and congress, in this particular the situation at Washington is better than it has been for years. Other presidents have got along peaceably with congress, but only by abdicating in its favor. Other presidents have “got things done." but only by wielding the big stick, by kindling back-fires, and by threatening to ;>et j secret service men on the trails of individual congressmen. Under Mr. Wilson the public business has been , carried on in a dignified and gentlemanly way. and yeL with* the highest efficiency. Certainly he has not "loafed on the job.'' To him being president is not a game, not something to be "enjoyed." We do not suppose that be has had "a bully time." He spoke of his inaugur at ion day as "a day of consecration.*' So it has proved to be. He has kept his vow. Also he has impressed hituse .f on the country as a man of greet intellectual force and remarkable e E ciency. He is. as he deserves to bo. the un« halleng<-d leader of bis party.

lit is fortunate for the country—ar.d for the democratic party—that His) ideals are sound and ills purposes pa ! triotic. There are, of course, many tests ■ which tlie president has yet to under-1 go. The questions connected with i the trust legislation are of tlie. greatest j difficulty and complexity. Tltere are ! I radical demands yet to lie faced. Mexico presents entanglements of the I most embarassing character. In the I light of what has already been accomplished and it will be remembered that it was predicted that currency legislation would fail—there is every reason to believe thut these and ail other tests will be successfully mt t. or Mr. Wilson is a man of poise as well as of initiative. He is firm—his critics are obstinate —but he knows how to yield. .The business world has learned, greatly to its surprise, that he J is no wild crusader or rash experimenter. On the contrary, he seeks the I best advice he can get, considers it i carefully and acts in accordance with a well-matured judgment. But, as a j ; famous statesman once said, "the past j at least is secure.” The Wilson ad I ministration lias more than met the I expectations of the people. It would | be unfair not to speak of the loyal and ! intelligent co-operation which he has I j had from his party in congress. In H deed. the .republicans and progtes isives have also, on more than one oc-1 ■ casion, manifested their confidence in | him. The best w ish that can be made ! for the president is that the remainder ! of his administration may be as su- -| cessful as its first year has been. — ; Indianapolis News. X I. Z W k«Z ZZW •- ».
