Undermining Mr. Wilson.
Gov. Ferris of Michigan promises an
interesting disclosure In a few days.
Jle has Information that a democrat of
national reputation Is preparing to oppose
Mr. Wilson for the party leadership
next year, and that a letter confessing
the purpose is In existence.
He withholds particulars. The letter
when produced will fully satisfy public
curiosity.
To defeat the scheme Gov. Ferris
urges upon democrats favorable to
Mr. Wilson a prompt expression of
their views. He wants the Michigan
democrats to head the movement. Tf
liis advices are reliable, his recommendation
is good.
Who is the man? What democrat associable
with the national leadership
of his party Is out for Mr. Wilson's
scalp? Who of that grade can see
success in any such undertaking?
The Wilson boom for renomination
can neither be torpedoed nor airshipped.
Too many good scouts are on
guard. Every democratic official in
the country has his orders and is on
the alert. Any unusual ripple on the
water or stir in the air will receive instant
attention. The interests of the
big chief are the interests of all his
subordinates. All arc In the same boat.
An attack on Mr. Wilson, therefore,
must dc in tne open ana on tne levei.
He cannot be overcome by any of tbe
tine work of secret maneuvering or
caucus-fixing.
Gov. Ferris declares lie cannot see a!
chance to win without Mr. Wilson.
There is none. It is Wilson, or "bust."
He is not only the party leader, but
more of a leader than the party has
had since Jackson. In fact, he is enpaged
in the experiment of trying to
tit Jacksonian spirit and methods to
these times.
The question of the day is, will the
country stand for an imitation of Jackson?
There are democrats who fear
not. For campaign purposes they invoke
the shade of "Old Hickory," but
realize that the grave at the Hermit-1
ige Is seventy years old. And in those
seventy years many changes have
taken place both in the country and
the democratic party.
Still, these democrats are not opposing,
and will not oppose, Mr. Wilson
for renomination. They have, in ef- J
feet, consented to what he has done in
the White House, and realize that the
;?arty stands committed by him. They
rxpect him to run again, and will support
him.
Undermining Mr. Wilson cannot be
lone without undermining the demorratic
party. The more the situation
a examined the plainer this fact be:omes.
And the man who holds the
?pposite opinion and acts on it is on
;he wrong course and wasting his time,
.t is Wilson, or "bust," and it may be
kVilson, and "bust." But the deraorratic
party must take chances.
The Excise Investigation.
A committee of the Senate has been
tamed to investigate charges specifically
advanced by a member of that
body that the excise law is not being
* forced or administered in this Disiiict
in accordance with its spirit and
rs letter. Wider powers are now
ought by the chairman of the committee
than those stated in the creating
resolution, and it is to be hoped that
hey will be granted by the Senate so
:hat the inquiry can be thorough and
the conclusions unassailable. If it Is
true that the law has been interpreted
ind applied by the excise board without
due regard for the prohibitions and
imitations prescribed the facts should
>e fully known. Mention of court pro:edure
has been made in the Senate in a
planner to Indicate lack of faith in the
ifllcacy of this method of securing a
revision of the excise board's actions.
The truth regarding this situation is
Sesirable. If the excise board has in
'act granted licenses In violation of
the letter and the spirit of the law and
;he courts are not in & position to rerlew
and correct such errors there
hould surely be an amendment to the
tatutes insuring a method of judicial
eview. In Justice to everybody con erned,
to the excise board and to the
romraunlty, the Investigation should be
?egun as promptly as possible and
>ressed to a speedy conclusion.
The felicity which William Howard
raft has developed in discussing cureut
conditions indicates that he would
e a much better campaigner if he
:ould have another chance.
No accountant is expert enough to
tgura on the riders that may be
:>rought in to affect calculations on an
impropriation bill.
The Dacia Case.
.e Dacia case is at the present stage
nterestlng, though not at a point war
anting any public apprehension of
'fiction between the United States and
iireat Britain. The situation with respect
to this ship, formerly of German
ownership and now the property
sf a citizen of the United States, involve?
more than the mere success
9f the present venture of sending
i cargo of cotton to Rotterdam. Briefly,
I'ne facte are as follows: On the outbreak
of the war the D&cia, owned by
i German company, was interned in
?n American port: subsequently she
ras transferred to an American ownpr.
who has decided to venture a voyage
with a cargo of non-contraband
goods; the British government announces
that it challenges the good
faith of the transfer to American
ownership, and proposes to detain th<
vessel if she ventures out at sea anc
to convoy her to a British port for th?
sonsideratlon of her case by prize court
This government is at the present
uage not actually involved, though the
State Department is said to have given
torn* aagpranoea to the owner of the
fhip that It will afford him protection
In case the ship Is seized. This must
} be interpreted to mean that It will
safeguard his interests before the prise
. court before which the Dacia is to be
taken.
According to the Declaration of Lon
don, to which the United States sub.
scribed but Great Britain did not, "the
, transfer to a neutral Hag of an enemy
ship interned after the outbreak of
war is void unless it is proved that
such transfer was not made in order
to evade the consequences to which
the enemy vessel as such was ex
posed." If the present owner of the
jjacia can jjiuvc umi mc uum^v>
In good faith, that he bought her for
his own purposes and not as the agent
, or representative of the former owners,
he is entitled to take his ship anywhere
i in the world, with any cargo save contraband,
subject to the limitations of
actual blockade. But the burden of
proof is on him if this doctrine, notwithstanding
the failure of the government
at London to subscribe to it,
is recognized as sound international
law.
The case of the Dacia will, in fact,
constitute a test and there can be no
satisfactory determination until it has
gone to a prize court, the findings of
which may then become the subject of
diplomatic action. At the present stage
there is nothing on which the govern|
ment of the United States can proceed.
J Tt cannot provide an escort for the
Dacia and thus become sponsor for the
good faith of the transfer. It must
await a judicial determination before
it can have any right of appeal, if It
should decide that it is warranted in
espousing the cause of the shipowner.
The Independents.
The present drive against Mr. Bryan
is said to be with the object of forcing
him out of the cabinet, and thus j
making way for an independent. What j
independent is not stated.
Tt may be that the story grows out
of Mr. Wilson's cordial reference to the
independents in his Indianapolis speech.
He wants their support, and will undoubtedly
need it next year. So far, he 1
has done nothing lor them in the way 1
of patronage. The offices have been be- *
? *?**?<? a < ?*? dowAorate uhlfl t n read
their titles clear. Cabinet places, diplo- 1
matic places, and all other places of
consequence in which changes have
been made, are filled by men who have
never been designated but as demo- g
crats..
Going outside of party in cabinet appointments
has never been profitable ^
politically. Mr. Hayes tried it in the
case of Mr. Key for Postmaster General,
but strengthened neither himself
nor his party. Mr. Cleveland tried it in
the case of Judge Gresham for Secretary
of State, but made a mistake. Mr.
Straus, an independent democrat,
brought no strength to Mr. Roosevelt,, t
nor Mr. Dickinson to Mr. Taft. Mr.
Dickinson retired after a short time.
Among those known as independents ?
are some able and excellent men. But \
not one of them lias a political follow- c
ing of any consequence. Not one could
"deliver goods" of value as a reward
for cabinet recognition for himself. He i
might serve satisfactorily in a cabinet
post, but Mr. Wilson's strength would B
not be materially augmented at the
polls next year by reason of the appointment.
This is a point of importance. Mr.
Bryan has not only a large but a de- d
voted following. When appointed to his
present place he had "goods to deliver,"
and he delivered them. Mr. Wil- Y
son's strength with Congress was most c
materially augmented by the presence s
of Mr. Bryan in the cabinet. 1
Naturally, should Mr. Bryan with a
following be forced out of the cabinet
for some man without a following, Mr. (
Wilsrm n-niiIrl no i- n vtAnnl*... j
....ww.. nvu<u k"*j a. |/cuaut, ituu maybe
a heavy one. As politics goes, it r
would be a poor trade?very much like j
swapping something for nothing. J
The topic tempts the gossips. Those ^
who were surprised at Mr. Wilson's
| choice of a premier have been disap- s
pointed because of the failure of their *
! predictions that Mr. Bryan would not ,.
last long. They gave him a few months
jat most. He is now nearly two years *
old, and still strong. He will probably
remain to the end, in the confidence ,
of his chief, and of value to him. 1
Admirers of Myron T. Herrick are
evidently not content to allow his i
presidential boom to find its finish as
a topic for complimentary after-dinner 1
speeches. jj

The Air Baid on England.
The German airship raid on the Eng- ;
lish coast which occurred last night
has been long expected and dreaded by
the English people. It proves, however,
to have been comparatively harmless,
though a few people were killed
and considerable damage was done to
S private property. Apparently nothing
' whatever was gained by the raid excent
to increase the ' anDrehension of
! tlie public, which, however, cannot be
reckoned as of military advantage to
the Germans at this stage of the campaign.
In fact, this raid, like the naval
attack upon Scarborough and Hartlepool,
is likely to cause a material
stimulation of enlistment and thus
prove ultimately of more benefit to
England than to Germany.
The belief is strong that the real objective
of the raid was Sandringham
Palace, one of the royal residences of
England, which the king and queen
have been occupying until Monday. It
has been suggested that information
had been given of the presence of royalty
at Sandringham and that the raid
was timed in consequence. Had the
king and queen been at Sandringham
when the bombs fell, however, they
would have escaped injury, as none of
) the missiles fell near the palace.
1 It is difficult to see what would have
3 been gained by the Germans through
the injury or death of the King of
: England by this means. King George
ts not a military figure and is in no
wise comparable as a war personage
' with th<SEmperor of Germany. Hie
personalWutbority in this campaign is
it
slight and his elimination would not
affect the situation In the slightest degree.
The killing of Innocent noncombatants
by these aerial bombB
seems a wanton sacrifice of life without
justification In any military advantage
gained.
The Newly Nominated Commissioner
In selecting a successor to Commissioner
Siddons the President goes again
to the newspaper ranks and chooses
L?o'uis P. Brownlow, who is well identified
with Washington through several
years of journalistic work, and is
closely acquainted with local affairs.
Mr. Brownlow Is known to possess
marked executive ability, ana will
without doubt prove an efficient municipal
administrator. It is important
that he should be promptly confirmed,
to the end of his early assumption of
duty at the District building, from
which Judge S'iddons will retire tomor- ;
row.

After adjusting conditions that pre- I
vent women who ought to vote from i

prevent men who ought not to vote (
from balloting without restraint.
Possible scarcity of wheat in the very
country that is producing it may yet
Invite serious attention to the suggestion,
"Feed America first."
The demand for food abroad prevents
any fear that wheat will repeat the *
experience of cotton as an example
of overproduction.
If Uncle Sam can conduct a successful
employment agency there will be
hope at last of a solution of the servant
problem.

Arming for Peace.
Yam tae Philadelphia Press.
Much has been said and written latey?and
Philadelphia as well as others
f the great cities of the country has
leard and read it?of the extent to
vhich the United States would lose its
noral influence among the other great
lowers if it went in for armaments on
he European scale. Most of these
.rguments come from the officers of "~
eace societies, but they have within
he last few days had the indorsement
f both Secretary of State Bryan and
f President Wilson himself. That the
Jnlted States is pre-eminently a peaceoving
nation goes without saying. But
o say that the people of the United
Itates would not fight to the death to
lefend themselves against aggression
>r to protect the rights of a free and
ndependcnt nation is to talk nonsense,
o call it nothing else. There is not the
ilightest need for the United States to
indertake to establish an army and a
lavy on the European scale. But for
>eace societies or pacifists outside of
>eace societies to try to convince the
>eople of this country as a whole that
hey ought not at all times to be ready
o defend themselves against such agression
as, for instance, Belgium Is
low the victim of, would be as futile
is to try to persuade the people of
Philadelphia that they ought to abolish
:heir department of public safety and
iisarm and discharge their police force.
New Ideas.
Prom the Columbus "Ohio State Journal.
It is funny to see the way the papers
ire fussing over President Wilson's
ieclaration that the republican party ~
nas not had a new idea for thirty
years; but all this time the republicans
have been claiming that just as
soon as they start a new idea the
democrats come out and appropriate it.
In fact, all the reform noise the demo- j
crats are making comes from stolen ;
republican thunder. That is perfectly <
natural. The primary idea of repub- i
iicanism is affirmative government;
that of the democratic party Is negative
government. The history of the
two parties shows that the former is
always claiming the Constitution al- ]
lows this, and the latter denies. This ;
very fact shows that the republican I
party is the home of new ideas, and I
when the democratic party comes along I
ana hi earn a lew, wnicn it is always
doing, we throw up our hat and shout |
hurrah. The meaning of all this is i
that between the two parties there is
a wide twilight zone, and within that
zone they could act happily together
if it wasn't for party spoils. These are
what knock that zone into a blaze of
belligerence. It is so much the case
that where our party stands there is
our faith. It should be the other way?
where our faith Inclines there is our
party.
Exposition of Folly.
From the Wilmington Journal.
Many persons of the present day deplore
the fact that the columns of the
newspapers contain so many stories of
vice and cri/ne. Bishop Home, however,
seemed to feel that such expositions
serve a useful purpose. He
wrote: "The follies, vices and consequent
miseries of multitudes, displayed
in a newspaper, are so many admonitions
and warnings, so many beacons
continually burning, to turn others
from the rocks on which they have
been shipwrecked."
