THE SLAPLICITY OF WOODROW WILSON. The simplicity of President Wil- son's lile, his well-known aversion to display, and the dominant fntel- lectuality of his character forbid the ! conclusion that he is secking to pose 8s an original by such departurea from custom as reading his own mes- sage to Congress and visiting the capitol frequently to help alonig measures which he wishes enacted into law. He doesn’t pose as an original, but in the strength and clarity of his mental vision which instantly sees! tencath the mere veneering of things' and grasps their essential philoso- ' phy, he has the originality of all stron and simple characters, and piecedent fetters him only to the ex- | tent that his ingellect approves it. This country can gtand a good many ' new departures from prevailing customs without any risk to its moral or ruateinl interests, for we are all gettine to be the elaves of econven- ' gld of & couragens he head of the nation lony new lines, The all rizht, nl has very and, whiln e bad an 3 tnd o'd, trailing the chief to enc neyr pi Our ¢ ho wershin m he. row that he has ho mont anp of four yeors of White House, wheore enoblovy will be alike dogr give u3 ¢ n the aprothessis of in- telleet, enlture and simpiicity di- vereed fiom wealth as in the J: good old Themes Jefferson, If a man reat enoeh he ean be gimale even ina complex aze, and what we need now above all other | thin:s is a shining instance of sens vine simplicity of compellng force to €1 ¢ us from the herd of snobs wor- shiying ot the shrine of the cuil, whose evil excmple is percolat- Ing in inaumcrable streans throu,h every grade and walk cf sceiety from bunkers to bootblucks, We value ilr. Wilson for many thin: s and not the least of these is because he is such an obvicus rebuke to our hordes of snobs, snubbing their betters and groveling at the altar of money, sccks and neckties. B | u— colden Trade and Traflic, a Jacksonville!™ Ppublication, arguing fcr a new con stitution for Florida, makes a goo1 point: when it says of the present in- strument: "It is a constitution which, owin to the stress of the times, was framed almost solely to end the wicked graft {n offices and the feared nesgro dom- naticn that were allowed and en- ccurazed under the offensive recon- struction days constitution of 1568, The quick suppression and ending of the stinkinz public craft, the polit- feal rottenness and the nezro influ- ence in pelitics were the things up- permost in the minds of the peonle who framed our present ecnstitution Ttey wanted to end evistine evil cenditions and evil times, and end them anieXly.

Etate. The success of the movene: .L' will depend more or less upon Lh«-i personality of the lobbyists withcut; reference to the merits of their cause. for there never yet was mortal man who was not more responsive to the { coaxings of beauty, grace and good- ‘nen than to the iron logic of the i other sister who had none of tiese weapons in her arsenal. But we can tell the ladies right now that it would be bad tactics to get such an| amendment submitted by this Legis-. lature, for it would be overwhelm- fugly defeated at the polls and that: defeat would cook the proposition for many a year to come in Florida. It will take mcre than ome campaign of education to make woman suf- frage stay on the cracker stomach.
