Brm,- btratiora Washington, March & Excepting alone "war Presidents," few national Executives r ever faced upon March 4 a more, stupendous task than yester day confronted President Wilson. And probably no President ever . realized more fully the gravity of the tremen dous responsibility that is his. Sentiment for-"progressive" reforms, which put the Democratic party into power today,- demands performance. To secure legislation of real reform is the four years' task facing the new Administration. Factional divisions within the dominant party. Demo cratic leaders themselves" admit, make the next four years potent wi th pos sibilities. This nation's course of peace and friendship with the world powers and its policy in Central and South Ama-r ica have been placed in the hands . of President WilsOn. Alone this consti tutes a mountainous task. Confront ing him in' prime importance -' is the civic strife in Mexico the problem of preserving peace and order there with out shedding of American blood. Administration of the Panama ca nal was another giant problem as sumed involving settlement . of dis putes with Great Britain, Canada, and other European countries over the "free tolls" concesson given Ameri can shipping. The Taf t Administra tion left these negotiations practically in a state of incubation. Repeal of the "free tolls" clause is the demand Wilson's Cabinet must face, and solve Other diplomatic questions confront ing the new administration is pro posed recognition of- the new Chinese Republic, negotiation of a new trade and passport treaty with Russia, work o the Alaskan boundary commission, tariff reprisals in Europe, Jointe action in conserving the Alaska sealing sit uation, and the Newfoundland fisher ies, muttered rumblings of strife in Cuba, Santo. Domingo, ".Haiti, Salva dor, and Honduras, besides the dispute with Brazil over coffee importations Immediately confronting President Wilson was the great question of pa tronage and the program for the ex traordinary session of Congress. Re vision of the tariff and possibly bank-' ing and currency reform are urged for special, immediate action. ... CralUnsr of the special session is to be one of the first acts of the new President, prob ably within a few days. -:' . Platform pledges -galore . await ful filment by the Democrats. These in clude such knotty problems as Phil ippine independence,- Porto Rican cit izenship, amendment or strengthening the Sherman anti-trust law, a single Presidential term and "labor" legis lation. , "Jjegacies" innumerable were left to the new- Executive by former Presi dent Taft.'

THIS IS THE PRESIDENT'S ROOM IN THE CAPITOL WHICH PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS HE WILL OSE WHEN CONGRESS IS IN SESSION Will. nth J t. ; Washington, March 5. Senators and representatives are greatly Interested in a published statement credited to President Elect Wilson that he in tended to spend part of each work ing day in the ' president's .room at the capitol to keen in close touch with legislative affairs. Such action would overthrow a precedent which has re stricted the president's " visits to the capitol to the last hours of a session of congress. Few Senators really be ETjsNUJc , TIT 'j,jf.A ..'.'

It is thought that Mr! Wilson will find himself sufficiently busy at the White House.
