FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8,
THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
The object of true cdurntlon is not
merely to make people do tho right
things, but enjoy tho right things;
not merely pure, but to lovo purity;
not merely Just, but to hunger and
thirst after Justice.

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
No one will begrudge our friends
tho Democrats the pleasure they are
deriving over their victory at the
polls. Nor will any one wish any
thing save the best of good fortune
and success In his conduct of affairs
to President-elect Woodrow Wilson.
Ho Is able, clear-headed, upright,
no political past to rise up and
plague him. And while his lack of
experience in political affairs will be
a handicap to him, at the same time
his freedom from political entangle
ments should be of great benefit.
There is no reason why his adminis
tration of affairs should not 'be con
ducted on a High plane, to the best
interests of all tho people, provided
ho and his party leaders act wisely,
and with extreme caution in the
matter of tariff revision, and hold
the incoming Democratic congross in
check accordingly.

The asnlrinc youth that fired the
Enheslan dono
Outlives in fame the pious fool that
rals'd it.
But in tho eyes of tho world such
fame, with Its trail of abandoned
principles Is a melancholy exchange
for the universal admiration for a
man who, after exercising tho high
est power In tho Republic, achieving
great things and performing great
services, retired to private life com
mending to the people tho wisdom of
tho tradition which forbade that he
should again bo President.
Mr. Taft in his defeat may Justly
feel satisfaction in having achieved
something greater than a re-election.
He has stood faithful to principle. He
has held the Republican party true
to its noble traditions. Ho has pre
vented tho judicial power of tho
country from being made subservient
to the changing whims of tempor
ary majorities. He has preserved to
the powerless the guarantees of per
sonal liberty against tho tyranny of
passion. Ho has moved serene amid
misrepresentation and abuse, dis
charging his duty as he saw it and
refusing to do anything for spectacu
lar political effect at a time when
Tho Federalists were in power
twelvo years; Jefferson Republicans,
twenty-four years; Democrats, since
Lincoln's time, eight years. Now
for four years more.
.... ... demagogy was in demand. Ho will
congratulated on meir success iu , . , ,
winning votes. As they could hard'
ly have hoped for success in the elec
tion, they are therefore not greatly j
disappointed. Indeed the purpose of I
their leaders, as Indicated by them,
was not so much to win the election
of Roosevelt as to prevent the re
election of President Taft and the
continuance of tho Republican par
ty in power. In this they have suc
ceeded, and they are entitled to such
satisfaction as they can derive from
thl3 fact. Tho Republican party
was defeated, not by the Democrats,
but by Col. Roosevelt and his fol
lowers. When the excitement has
died away, and the magnetism of an
attractive personal leadership has
become dulled, and sober second
thought in the face of a Democratic
administration has taken tho place
of sincere but mistaken Impulse, the
great body of Republican voters, who
have for the time being been led
away by the noise and glitter and
promises of the new party, will drift
back to the old safe and permanent
party home. For the Republican
party will continue to be as it has
been for a generation, one of tho
great parties of this country, with a
record of splendid achievement he
fore It as well as in tho past.
Let us cherish no resentment or
ill will, but set about to reform our
ranks, and make ready for future
success, welcoming all who desire to
onron under our banner and partici
pate with us in tho work which we
shall do to make this a country of
prosperous and contented people.
turn over to his successor the admin
istration of a country whose laws
were never before so well enforced,
whose expenditures have been cut
down, whose governmental methods
have 'been systematized and made un-
precedentedly efficient, whoso general
prosperity and happiness are at a
high pitch. His trust is faithfully
discharged.
As for Mr. Wilson, he has large if
indefinite promises to redeem. He
is to reduce tho cost of living without
reducing the stream of individual in
comes. He is radically to cut down
tho tariff without injuring business.
He is to abolish trusts and restore
general competition. He will carry
out the sacred pledge tho radical
platform which Bryan made for him
at Baltimore. Behind him will bo a
Congress as undisciplined and hard
to lead in sane paths as that which
confronted Mr. Cleveland. His task
is difficult. That he may perform It
with credit to himself and honor to
the country is our most sincere wish.

If tho Republicans, including Pro

no salary. Varying views as to tho
amount of tho salary wero held by
tho members of tho 1st Congress, tho
suggestions Tanging from $15,000 to
$70,000.
Tho sum finally agreed upon was
$25,000, and this remained tho com
pensation until President Grant's sec

$50,000.
At tho second session of tho 59th

Congress from Brooklyn; only Re

THE RESULT.
Governor Wilson wins tho Presi
dency through tho division of his nat
ural opponents. Ho did not inspire
enthusiasm or show himself a strong
er candidate than Mr. Bryan. He
owes his victory not to suporlor pub
lic confidence in himself or tho Dem
ocracy, hut to Mr. Roosevelt's desire
to wreck tho Republican party tho In
stant ho could not rule It. Inspired
"by overweening ambition and person
al animosity, Mr. Roosevelt turned
against tho party which had given
him the highest honors and through
which bo had obtained his mar
velous hold on tho popular imagina
tion. Its leaders and policies wero
the leaders and policies which ho had
long commended, and ho stood ready
to tako a nomination from It If ho
could. But when It declined to de
part from Its historic traditions of
loyalty to representative government
under fixed constitutional guarantees
and an independent judiciary and
tako up radical and revolutionary
doctrines which ho had opposed
along with It until bo saw In them a
sultablo instrument of personal ag
grandizement, ho devoted his ener
gies to tearing down tho structure
built by Lincoln, Soward, Grant, Gar
field and McKInley which has over
been tho homo of liberty and con

More in sorrow than in anger,
more with a feeling of sympathy
than of condemnation, wo would like
to ask the leaders of tho progres
sive party whether they aro entirely
satisfied with their work which cul
minated Tuesday in tho wreck of tho
Republican party and tho defeat of
William H. Taft
Mr. Roosevelt and his followers
began on tho assumption that they
could convinco tho voters of this
country, in times of prosperity, that
a nation was being badly treated,
that thero was a great lack of Jus
tice, that the rights of man wero
being Invaded, that tho rights of
women wero nil, that generally tho
country wns on tho vergo of damna
tlon and that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Johnson woro tho only persons who
could save It from perdition. .
In tho campaign which they havo
conducted very hard blows havo
been given and taken. Mr. Roose
velt has entirely changed his visiting
list. Ho has broken practically all
his friendships of a life-time, and ho
has fallen In his ambition to have a
third term as President. Ho has
caused numerous of his newer
friends to spend their prlvato for
tunes like water, and ho has creatod
a feeling of distrust of American in
stitutions in tho minds of a largo
number of persons.
But, fortunately, that largo num
ber of persons is a very small mi
nority of tho total citizenship of tho
United States. The constitution still
stands, tho government still lives,
and It is to bo hoped that courso of
prosperity will continue.
Was it worth while? Out of tho
wreckage of tho Republican party

MEN PICKED FOR WILSON CABI
NET. Princeton, N. J., Nov. G. Choice
of his "official family" the cabinet
faced President-elect Wilson to
day. It is known that Wilson has
mado no promise or pledge.
But leading Democrats said sever
al appointments wero considered as
practically settled. These are:
William J. Bryan as secretary of
state.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former chief
chemist, as secretary of agriculture.
Louis D. Brandels, the Boston at
torney, as attorney general.
William G. McAdoo, vice chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, is also slated for a cabinet port
folio, either as postmaster general
or secretary of war. Joseph Dan
iels, national committeeman of
North Carolina and chairman of the
Democratic publicity bureau, is also
regarded as a likely choice for post
master general.
Chairman McCombs, of the nation
al committee. It Is reported, will not
be called to the Wilson cabinet, but
will be taken care of in some other
capacity If he desires. His health Is
poor and he is expected to avoid any
heavy or confining work.
Cabinet FInco for Palmer.
For secretary of tho treasury, Rep
resentative A. Mitchell Palmer, Wil
son leader in Pennsylvania, or Rep
resentative William C. Redfield, of
New York, aro generally regarded as
leading in Wilson's consideration.
Redfield, who retires from tho house
March 4, Is also talked of for secre
tary of commerce and labor. Labor
Commissioner Charles V. Nelll Is
also a possibility for that portfolio.
Representative Burleson, of Texas,
campaign general of Wilson, is gen
erally considered assured of a cabi
net Job, with chances favoring ,his
taking tho navy or interior depart
ment desk.
Tom Pence, newspaper correspon
dent and Wilson publicity man, is
talked of for secretary to the presi
dent. Mayor Newton Baker, of
Cleveland, is another thought to bo
considered for tho Job of "little
president."
Soveral senators, Including O'Gor
man, of New York; Luko Lea, of
Tennessee; Gore, of Oklahoma; Ray
ner, of Maryland; Gardiner, of
Maine, and Culbertson, of Texas,
havo been mentioned as cabinet pos
sibllitles, but It is generally believed
that Wilson will not recruit any cabi
net members from tho senate be
cause of the small Democratic ma
jority there.
Other Cabinet Timber.
Other Democratic chieftains said
to bo cabinet timber aro: State
Chairman Homer S. Cummins, of
Connecticut; ex-Mayor George W.
Guthrie, of Pittsburg; Colonol Robt.
Ewing, Louisiana national commit
