Excepting alone “war presidents,” few national executives ever faced upon March 4 a more stupendous task than today confronted President Wil- son. And probably no president ever realized more fully the gravity of the tremendous responsibility that is his. This nation’s course of peace and friendship with the world powers and its policy in Central and South Amer- ica were placed in his hands. Alone this constitutes a mountainous task. Confronting him in prime importance was the civic strife in Mexico—the problem of preserving peace and or- der there without shedding of Amer-: ican blood. Administration of the Panama canal is another giant problem, in- volving settlement of disputes with Great Britain, Canada, and other European countries over the “free tolls” concession given American shipping. The Taft administration 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 passpost treaty with Russia, work of the Alaskan boundary com- mission, tarift reprisals in Europe, completion of the Honduras line, joint action in conserving the Alaska sealing situation, and the Newfound- land fisheries, muttered rumblings of | strife in Cuba, Santo Domingo, Haiti, Salvador, and Honduras, besides the dispute with Brazil over coffee impor- tations. “Legacies” innumerable were left to the new executive by former Pres- ident Taft. These include the Pan- ama tolls controversy, the Mexican tfouble and many measures which “dled” in congress when the sixty- second session ended today. Among the bills and policies await- ing action by the new administration and congress are: Senator Works’ constitutional amendment limiting tenure of president to one term of six years. Limited independence for the Fili- pinos. : Representative Clayton’s .anti-in- junction bill. The “seamen’s labor’ bill. The Page educational and vocation- al bill. Conservation of water power and beauty of Niagara Falls. Direct election of presidents and senators. Regulating of campaign contribu- tions. Maintenance of the ' commerce court and the econoxfly and efficiency commigsion. Repeal of the Canadian reciprocny treaty. Congervation of forests and water power, g Physical valuation of railroads. Prohibition in Hawaii. “Shipping trust’” investigation and regulation. 2 Senator Owen’s bill for direct elec- tion of federal judges. resolution for a Senator Bristow’s bill for a nation-| al initiative and referendum. Establishment of a national public tealth service. Opening of Alaska. Recodification of patent laws. Limited woman’s suffrage. Reornniudon of militia, Creation of a national council of defense, Reorganization of the customs and Tevenue service. Increase of pensions. In sddition to these problems, the|\ “[than a chronic disorder of the stom- opening of the Panama ca.nnl and es-| tablishment of a civil government on the Isthmian zone faces the new pres- ident. Scores of unfinished trust prosecu- tions, begun ‘by Attorney General ‘Wickersham, also await the new ad-|" Many import- |.. ministration’s action. ‘ant cases must also. be Dpresented to the supreme court by the new execu- tive heads which were instituted dur- ing recent years. Administration and extension - of the parcel post is another lmpqrnnt problem. Appropriation for navy, army, good . roads, the San Francisco exposition and economy in expenditures generally -furnish even | more huge tasks. Organization of the sixty-third con- gress augurs difficulty for the new party in power. An extremely small majority in the senate and an over- whelming majority in the ' house; with disputes over iiportant commit- tee chairmanships, present a delicate partisan situation. : Half-Done Work. There is an old story of a miser who hed hidden his great treasure un- der a large bowlder. The secret was discovered .by two blacksmiths, each of whom determined to sccure the wealth, and set about preparing. crow- bars to pry up the rock.- The one was in such haste that he did his work' carelessly, and though he was first on the spot his poor tool snapped, and he could not accomplish his purpose. While he hastened back to his shop te repair the damage the 'second smith, who had made ready more care- fully, came with his strong bar and carried off the treasure. Half-done work defeats its own ends, and the success for which one is not redy is not ready for him. Chronio Stomach Trouble Cured. There is nothing more discouraging ach. Is it not surprising that many sufter for years with such an’ ailment when a permanent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle? “About one year ago,” says P. H. Beck, of Wakelee, Mich., “I bought a package of Chamberlain’s Tablets, and since using them I have felt perfectly well.
