WILSON'S* LEADERSHIP Who are the great presidents of the United States, beginning with Washington and ending with Woodrow Wilson? Precisely those who, recognizing the public needs, and keeping in touch with the public conscience, have stamped their Individuality and their influence upon national legislation; those who. perceiving the need of a given policy, have had the courage to advise and to direct it; those who have prompted congress to the performance of their duties as outlined in their public declarations and as demanded by the public needs; those ■who have proven their claim to leadership by wisely and courageously asserting it. We need but name Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln. Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to types of presidents who, keeping close to popular sentiment, have counseled wise and needed legislative reform-:, and have commanded, because they earned, the popular approval. I glory’ in the fact that the presidents of the United States knows what the people want, communicates with congress upon subjects ot national concern, and reminds its members of the duty which rests upon them, and calls upon them to perform it. The president, in calling our attention to

needed legislation, keeping us in communion both with what we were elected to accomplish and what popular opinion demands, is always abreast of the times. He is abreast with, bur never behind, the people, and bears with serene composure that criticism and denunciation which pronounces him a tyrant and a usurper and which reproaches a democratic congress for complying with and conforming to a common purpose. It it a happy circumstance that we have a ruler who knows how to rule, and a leader who does not hesitate to lead. Such a man. I, for one, am willing to follow and to aid as my poor abilities will permit in the observance of a common duty. » Wo have had presidents of the United States who have been unequal to these supreme requirements. Presidents who have misinterpreted popular sentiment and ran counter to the declarations upon which they were selected; and the people, always just, have never failed to relegate such executives to the oblivion which they have justly earned.

So long as tne president, of the United States keeps in close contact with the people, so long as he seeks to interpret and obey the popular expression of the poular will, so long as he needs in the development of needed legislation for the popular good, just so long will the people sustain, and just so long wilt the democratic congress commend and follow him. Thus he has kept the faith and shows no signs ot weariness in well-doing.—By Senator Thomas of Colorado. Tomorrow is the day for registering.

IT DOES NOT BIND YOU TO VOTE FOR ANY PERSON BUT IT QUAII- - YOU TO VOTE IN OCTOBER. IT'S AN IMPORTANT DUTY. DON'T FORGET IT. L. A. Graham is still the chairman of the bull moosers. He called last night and said he wanted it understood most emphatically "that he did not associate politically with such cattle” as we had charged him with in speaking of the republican meeting held somewhere in this city. He also said that the meeting was not held jat his office. We cheerfully retract .the statement and offer our sincerest apologies. In fact we don't blame him any for getting mad over such a misstatement. County Superintendent Ed S. Christen today closed his first annual teachers’ institute and every teacher declares that it was a most successful week. The instructors were good, the ' attendance almost perfect and the 1 teachers paid the strictest attention ’to each lecture. The superintendent ’ is deserving o’ congratulations for he had but a short time after his election to arrange for the program. That he ■ did it so successfully proves that he ! is equal to most any task that may 1 come in his office. County Superintendent Lee L. Dri- : ver of Randolph county, in his lecture ■ before the Adams county institute : here last evening, paid a high tribute i to State Superintendent Charles A. i Greathouse. Mr. Driver, though a life- . long republican, had the courage to > say that Mr. Greathouse had made the s best record as state superintendent of i any man who has ever held the office. • to his knowledge. Mr. Greathouse has - accomplished real things that tend to- - ward a distinct forward movement of , every school and college in Indiana I and Mr. Driver believes in giving him i all due credit. Mr. Driver also praised the Hon. Fred CaldwelJ, now a I judge of the appellate coure of Indi- ■ ana and a man splendidly qualified for . that high position. The lecture was

one of the best of the week and pleased the teachers. And now these fair (?) and square (?) politicians who believe in telling the truth (when it fits best) announce In their own mysterious way that some great and famed democrat is to come to Adams county to deliver an address. This man is supposed to be a very close friend of Wilson and Bryan and he is coming here to tell us where we have made mistakes in voting the democratic ticket for fifty years past. His name has not been announced yet, but will probably be handed out secretly some evening soon, as have the other declarations of war and similar documents. Sure, he’s an independent democrat, so independent that he lias not had muth to do with the party except try to defeat it. We don’t know his name, but we believe there will be ample room for the crowd in that mysterious place where these rousing meetings are bsing held without knowledge to the public until they are over.
