THEIR COMMON GROUND, President Wilson Has Done Nothing That the HRepublion.es and Progressives Would Dere Undo Hf Returned to Powar, From New York World, The Republicans want the Federal offices now held by Democrats, The Progressives want the offices now held by Democrats, The two factions have a common hupger for place and power and patronsge; but have they anything common? Federal else in Joth eagerly ‘denounce the Under wood-Simmons tariff; but if there were 8 Republican-Progressive msjor- ity in Congress, would it undertake geriously to restore the Payne-Aldrich or the Dingley schedules? Would it undertake seriously any general scheme of tariff revision ? Both are in sympathy with the prin- ciple cf a central bspk; but if there were & Republican-Progressive msjor- ity in Congress, would it venture to any regpect the new currency and banking laws that a Deraocratio administration has writ. the books ? at President Wilson's ; but would a Repub. amend in important state ten into Hoth sneer Mexican polies rogressive administration aban- don his wi e and humane attempt to| establish a permanent peacs in Mexico by removing the cause of revolt, or lican.¥ or would it turn a distracted country back to predatory privilege and preda- | tory poverty 7 Worse still, would it| enter upon a war of conquest ? | Both complain of ‘the Wilson eco- nomic pf would a Hepubli- can-Progressive party halt the investi. leies ; buat gation into New Haven corruption, would it refuse to ensct laws giving | the Interstate Commerce Commission | railroad capitalization, it even repeal the proposed | to the Sherman Anti- Trust act, in case they become law?

It is always easier for a minority to ciiticize than for a msjority toact, and it is = matter of record that no other Administration since the civil war has secon much in an «qual pericd adminis tration. All the fundamental differences in priceiple that existed between the Re. | pub 1912 exist can be forg:« be recon. ciled. only basis for a compro- mize lies in the fact that Mr. Roosevelt is personslly stronger than any csndi- date the Republicans can name, and that without the Republican vote Mr, Rooseveil’s candidacy in 1916 would | be a farce, Ary compromise between the Re. pubiicans and the Progressives gets back to the elementary question of dividieg the spoils.

The proposition was made and backed by the argument that each of their customers was a prospective patient. That was a frank and honest confes- slon to make, but they made it, though not until they hed gone out of the business. And, very likely, their statement Is true, No man who dallies with the bottle does so with the intention of becoming a drunkard, but the fact that so many moderate drinkers do end sa drunkards seems to substantinte the argument of the Ken tucky whisky house.
