"WEAK" AND "VACILLATING". Iike so many whining pups taking fo their kennels, the republican pre.-s ind republican orators heard frm

since I'res't Wilson'.s speech of acceptance, are hainiC

the time of their lives trying to recover a le somewhere to stand on. This supplemented by the quick action of congress in passing the Adamson eight-hour bill, a a measure of railroad strike prevention, and the additional republican w hine, lest it be injected into politics, is making the situation even more ludicrous. The republicans would inject it into politics quick enough if they dared. They had it injected into politics already, when they thought the president had fai'ed through the refusal of the railroad magnates to accept the adjustment which he i ad proposed to them. Already references wee being made to the president's "weakness" and "vacillation" but evidently somebody else is "vacillating" now. It is about the same as it has been throughout the camnaign, and. probably will be to the end of it. It is net that I'res't Wilson is 'weak" and "vacillating" that is worrying the republicans. It is not that I'res't Wilson is "weak" and "vacillating" that is worrying the magnates and linancial interests who are backing the republicans. It is rather that he is not "weak" and "vacillating," that constitutes the "My in their ointment." They say, "they tan never tell what the president is poing to do next." and right there they evade and prevaricate again. What they do not like about I'res't Wilson is that they do know what he is going to do next. They know that lie is going to do riht, which with him means the ri ht thing by the ptople, who are hia constituents as distinguished from tho-spvcial interests who are the main republican constituency. One republican worry too, and that of its financial constituency, is the president's keen sense of public right. Tho president is not much given to shining with gold-plated godliness. Having determined upon an end and aim to be attained, and announced his purpose, he makes the goal, perhaps by a somewhat zigzag route f-ome times, but he has made a reputation for getting there just the same. No man can encounter ditficulties w.'iiiout having to shift his bearings now and then, but it need not change his general course, even though eventually he may have to go a trille farther than at first anticipated, in order to accomplish his purpose. The republicans, and the republican press, are quite right in pointing out to the democrats that the president has pursued his strike elimination course to the limit, not for political effect, but to prevent a strike, this in the interest of the puWi'1, and that therefore democratic newspapers and democratic orators should not seek to make political capital out of it. " We are heaitily agreed. We merely mention it in passing aa Indicative of the "weak" and "vacillating" campaign methods f the republicans. What would their attitude toward injecting it into politics hae been, had not the president hie gone to congress after his failure to bring the railroad Magnates and trainmen together, and there forced the i.-suo to a successful conclusion? And still they tell us that the president literally took congress by the throat, and forced it to piss the eighthour legislation. He did it 'weak" and "vaeillatingly" we suppose; u.is so "weak" and vacillating" about it that ic look him all of four days the quickest record for drastic legislation ever made in the congressional halls. That it succeeded, tlo- republicans would like to have nothing said about it; had it failed, would they b so anxious for silence then? If the republicans art .;ot interested in it politically too, vve would like to have it explained, as to why it was that only one republican voted t"r the bill in the senate, while in the house, on th- republican side, the split was about "hfty-iifty ?" Tact of tho matter is, the republicans and their hnamial htr.chmen. after crossing the last dith. have dis ovon d that they are licked, and they are afraid that ;h- di-nucrats will rub it in. They know

t that the president was light, and that the nation will j Uphold tho hand- ..f u.:i:r;'.-. and not daring, to go be- j

THAT JUDGSHIP MUDDLE. Will somebody please explain. We have here a story that Judge Herbert I. Warner has resigned from the city benh, effective Oct. 1, and that there is a difference of legal opinion as to whether Mayor Keller or Gov. lialstnn has the power to till the vacancy. Mayor Keller appears to have appointed W. K. Miller to succeed Judge Warner and Mr. Miller has accepted, and notitied the governor that if the latter claims the right of a ppointment, and wishes to appoint someone other than the Keller appointee, such appointee wants to "tile a brief." Xow it is asserted by Judge Warner that rather than permit the appointment to go to a democrat by gubernatorial order, he will continue to hold his job urtil January 1. or at least until after election, in the hope that James P. Goodrich, republican, will be the next governor, and thus save the appointment fdr a republican, via Goodrich. Politics is, indeed, entering keenly into this police court job, and the consequent muddle is, indeed, a perplexing one. A number of questions are suggested: 1 Has Judge Warner resigned or hasn't he'.' Did he resign to take effect, Oct. 1st? 2. If he resigned, who to, and to whom should he resign, and has his resignation been accepted by the proper authority? : If his resignation has been accepted, how does Mr. Warner pect to continue to hold the office after Oct. 1st, the date that his resignation and the acceptance becomes affective? Isn't he. after acceptance of his resignation, literally out of a job from the moment designated in such resignation and acceptance? Can an acceptance of a resignation be withdrawn? 4 Can there be a vacancy without acceptance and if there is no vacancy by such process, isn't Mayor Keller showing considerable anxiety, political haste, and lack of administrative acumen, in so hurriedly appointing Mr. Miller to till a vacancy which has not, ax yet, been created? 5 Isn't Mr. Miller exhibiting a considerable itching for office in his hurried acceptance of an appointment to something that doe not exist? What phase of his appointment does he ask permission of the governor to "brief" the vacancy or the mayor's power to fill it in advance of its existence? This rcpublico-citizenistie rush for the swill, reminds us of a herd of swiae which dad kept back on the farm sometime in the eighties. There was a squeak to the hog-pen door that those porkers could hear full a fortnight off. Kverytime the door opened and the squeak sounded, forthwith there was a rusi for the trough from out the gully, the orchard, the clover pasture, or other hog-patch, always laned to the pen and the pi"yard. The hog-entrances to the pen were by way of two swing doors, hinged at the top and under which the swine pushed their way. They were about three feet wide and tall enough for the other accommodation, self-closing by the law of gravitation so as to let in the hogs and kept out the hens. Now if you can imagine from ten to fifty hogs, hearing that squeak, realizing that it meant some slop or some soft corn, and all of them trying to get through those two doors at once; packing themselves in like a South Rend republico-citizenistic rush after a poller court judgship and none of them getting anywhere but to squeak, until ycu had gone around and pried them out; well, you can perhaps understand our reasons for asking the above more or less pertinent or impertinent questions?

terms of republicanism or democracy. Ileal Americans must drop parties and get down to big fundamental principles. "More than any other president in my memory. Wilson has been faced with a succession of tremendous problems, any one of which, decided the wrong way, would have had disastrous consequences. Wilson's decisions, so far, have not got us into any serious trouble, nor are they likely to. Peace With Honor. "He has given us peace with honor. This talk about the l.'nited States being despised is nonsense. Neutrality is a mighty trying policy. but back of it are international law, the rights of humanity and the future of civilization. "With reference to Mexico, I think that the president has acted wisely, justly and courageously. It was right that United States should not have recognized such a murderous personality as Huerta. I do not believe that we should have intervened, nor do I believe that we should intervene now. Mexico is a troublesome neighbor just now, but war and conquest are not going to make her a better one. "It has been said that Wilson at first was against preparedness. Perhaps he was, but when convinced that intelligent public, opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of it he changed. "That is the proper thing for ein president to do. A president defiant of public- opinion would be a dangerous man in our government. raot Tariff Hoard. "His attitude on the tariff shows an equal openness of mind. A tariff commission will take the whole problem out of politics. "They say he has blundered. Perhaps he has. But 1 notice that he usually blunders forward." Taking up - the railroad labor controversy, Mr. Edison says of Mr. Wilson: "He is acting with his usual courage and sanity." About Mr. Hughes, Mr. Edison remarks: "His capacity for hindsight, as we learn from his speeches, is highly developed, but as to his foresight we are not equally well informed. "Mr. Wilson has now had about four years of experience and he has earned faith and trvrth. I do not think it a logical or sensible thing to change to an Inexperienced and untried man just for the sake of change. v nor without much better reasons being given for the change than I have noticed."

Speaking of the small boy, ever notice how insistent he can be at times. The other day we were near a crowd of youngsters and they got to talking about weights of horses and various animals. Finally one youngster said: "I weigh I0i lbs." He waited a few minutes and then said, "I weigh one hundred and one pounds1." He waited again and then said. "I weigh exactly just one hundred pounds and one pound." o Suing a college professor for $.10.000 seems the bright of the improbable. o A telegraph operator is quoted by the Chicago Tribune as follows:

"Gobs of grease from a blue

whale." said he as his eyes popped out like a liter's That wouldn't only stop a strike; jfd stop the war in Europe." The operator we have known don't swear like that.
