This Admlnistraton will pas into
history with only one keen regret, the
President's lllnes. Everywhere smong
Democrats it is felt thst last Tuesday

bad Mr. Wilson only retained hi phy

Thar was ao ono to . tak bis plaee.
H had launched upon th world an
ideal that only ho could eary to real
Isatioa in the heart ef mea ia so short
a time, but as wss pointed out bril
liantly in the foreiga press this morn,
inf, the President has laid th founda
tions of peace and federation of tho
world that the hands of his immediate'
successors esnnot destroy. The Repub
licans can only change the names ef
things' but not their 'heart and -mean
int.
Administration Democrats nnd their
friends are saying tbwt ia view of what
tho Demecratie party fought for and
waa defeated, for it la idle for men

Then there is governor Cox who

idealism of the great leader of th

party. .Defeat cannot deprive: him of
this position snd bo will not likely yield
it to another without desperate strug
s-le.
Th Democrat who hav been at
out with th Administration appear to
think now I tho time when th
ministration is defeated to seise th ms
eblnery and forgo a new Democratic
party 1 but it takes now ideas to make a
now party of an old party ana us 01a
leaders her point out that tho only
idea th mea who ar just now talking
of reorganisation have ar negations.
