T*: American mind at ite best is not easily beguiled. certainty for a promise, To many thoughiful voters of all political shades, Woodrow Wil- son has come to seem not primarily a party President, or even a party candidate for the Presidency, but rather, and in an extraordinary sense, an indispensable national prescience and force, to remove which would be dangerously to cast aside experience and interrupt the con- tinuity of the Nation’s attitude and policy at a time when the reat of the world is watching to see how consistent the American spirit really is, At euch a moment to turn out the tried for the untried goes against the Yankee grain. We believe this instinct is active just now in many minds, irre- spective of party leanings. It may be noted in men of widely differ- ing activities and modes of thought. One day it finds expression from the head of a great railroad system. The next day it chances to be @ minister of the Gospel, the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, who announces that, though he has never before voted the straight Demo- cratic ticket, he means to vote for Mr. Wilson, because “It is not a square deal to place unparalleled burdens apon @ man, heavier than any President's except Lincoln's, and then to ‘turn him down.’ To give four years’ training in our high- est office and then to throw away what an exceptional man has learned in that office is not economical, It wastes the highest human acquisitions.” We lay stress upon this reasoning because it is typical and be- cause it has nothing to do with parties or politics. It is the eound, untrammelled good sense of a people whose birthright is freedom to think independently and act accordingly. And it is unquestionably the kind of thinking which, when the reshlts of Nov. 7 are analyzed, will be found to have played a powerful part in keeping Woodrow Wilson where the Nation needs him. —_- 1+ -—__—_—_ His Letters Opened, Ory of O’Leary—Headline What with bis mail, his telograms and his tongue, Jere miah O'Leary is by this time marked as one of the most un- mitigated and nolay nuisances that ever cropped up in a cam- palgn.

The interest of New York eongumers in the price of milk, 00 far trom being et an end, ie only just beginning. Too mach has been disclosed regarding the methods and profits of milk distribution to leave the public satisfied until it hes the whole story. ‘When the State Commissioner of Foods anf Markets confidently asserts that a $50,000 co-operative pasteurizing and creamery station in the eity is practically all that is needed to provide eight-cent milk, New York naturally wants to know more about it. The Commis- sioner clatme that he can “prove trom the vory figures of the large distributors themealves that such a plant, selling the farmers’ milk dizestty threugh the small dealer at low prices, properly handled, weuld make money. If the people of this city want milk at « fair paige the method is easily accessible to them.” Commissioner Dillon may be al wrong. But st least consumers are entitled just new to hear what he or anybody else knows about the prodection end handling of milk. The city has narrowly escaped 8 eetfous milk famine, It is now certain that the milk distributing Companies mean to boost milk prices in order generously to compen- sate thamecives for the five-cent rate they have agreed to pay the New about we are ft, let's get to the bottom of the milk question.
