THE ADMINISTRATION.

Commenting on the president’s statement to the church meeting in Washington that “If I can speak for you, I am powerful; if I can not I am weak,” the Kansas City Journal says: “The failure of the Wilson administration has been due more directly to the refusal of the president to take the people into his confidence, to learn at first hand what the people wanted and to get close to the actual humanities.’’ What getting close to the actual humanities may mean we do not know. Nor did we know that the Wilson administration had been a failure It has had a difficult task, for it has had to do with economic questions in which there was no appeal to the fervor of patriotism. Congress has passed many important measures and they were according to a program which the president formulated. The tariff and, the currency and banking reform acts would be sufficient to make the reputation of an administration for a four-year term. President Wilson has been confronted with two grave situations, the European war, which : sprang with a suddenness equaled only by its overwhelming importance, and the Mexican situation, which has increased in complications. As to the great European war, the , drainistration has been'suddenly confronted with the gravest foreign problems that any administration ever had. In this crisis, the administration has so steered the country’s course as to leave us with the honors of the situation and with our peace unassailed. To talk about the “failure” of such work as all this, is' to say a thing that good Americans should shrink from. There may be legitimate opposition on the ground that the democratic party is mot liked and the tariff is not liked, but to say the administration is a “failure” is not just.-—ln-dianapolis News.

“Billy” Sunday Pays Compliment to the Newspapers.

■‘Billy” Sunday, the noted evangelist, recently paid the following compliment to the newspapers: “A newspaper can be one of the greatest moral forces hi the . -universe,” he said. “I have known the liquor forces to go into small towns and offer $5,000 for the use of the editorial page during a revival, and I know that the editor of the paper has replied: ‘You go to hell; I need the money, but I need the manhood more.’ ■ . . : ■ “I believe the newspapers can clean up the co u n try from New York to San Francisco, and there is hardly a town that does not need to be taken down to God’s bathhouse and have the hose turned on it. . “Rid this world of Christianity and you will sound the death knell of morality. You might as well try rosink a battle-ship with a shotgun, to batter down the rock of Gibraltar with green peas and a blowpipe or vain Niagara with hairpins and to’othpirks as to try to have morality without Christianity .and newspapers., ' . “The whole gang of thieves and panderers and , gOo.d-for-uor hing, lickspittle, grafting, pie-coufiter, free lunch politicians would beat it if the newspapers got after them. “Tlie mission of a newspaper, a’s I look at it, boys, is to enlighten the public, and if it performs,its mission rightly it is bound to be the greatest of moral forces, if every newspaper were suppressed tomorrow crime would increase 100 per cdht in twenty-four hours. All the bod,filers and grafters and loan sharks ami thugs and the redlight district woTOI join in a jubilee. All the forces of good government would pray to have the newspapers restored.” «. ,

Famous Grumblers-

Very many men think it’s a diss grace to grumble, but the grumbler whose coinplaints are prompted by ’earnest devotion to principle is preferable to one who is indifferent to all principles or fears to indicate a wrong. Some: fatuous grumblers' ’aaye been indicated by AVilliam Matthews, ( who in years gone by wrote much for th e Nprt h Am er i can Rev ie w, Moses was a grumbler or he would have remained in Egypt. Luther was a grumbler when he inveighed against Rome. Bacon began grumbling a.t sixteen and kept at it all his life. Howard grumbled at prison systems and compelled re iorm. Burke, Fox and Chatham grumbled when the mother country undertook to tyranize. over the American colonies, and Franklin, Adams and Jefferson grumbled until we gained independence, and but for those grumblers, the Garrisons, Adamses • and Phillipses, slavery might still overshadow the land. No great change was ever effected without previous grumbling against the evil to be redressed.^—Exchange.
