FOR PRESIDENT — - WQODRQW WILSON The New York World, May 31 Woodrow Wilson of New Jei sey should be the Democrat candidate tor President. That is the opinion of Th World. That the counsel o the Naw Jersey primaries. Thai is the logic of the situation. It h time for facts and not theories. Judson Harmon migh prove a strong candidate in New York and Onio, but his nomina tion has been considered impos sible. Champ Clark would be fc hopelessly beaten candidate in New York, New Jersey, anc Connecticut. He could do n better than Mr. Bryan, who ha.- losc these States three times anc would loose them again if nom inated. Oscar W. Underwood 1 u£ presidential size, but he ha; I -en untested as u candidate in v* North and is an unknown quality to most of the voters. Wuodrow Wilson alone has a rec ord of continuing victories in the section in which victory is essen tial to Democratic success. What other Democratic candi date could poll so many votes 11 the great debatable States of tht East—New Ydrk, New Jersey and Connecticut? What other Democratic candi date, who could carry thest States, wouid be so strong in tht great debatable States of tht Middle West—Ohio and Indiana: What other Demoiratic candi date could make so powerful ai appeal to hundreds of thousand; of thoughtful independent voter? without whose support no Demo cratic President can be elected? What other Democratic canui date cotild so well stem the rising tide of Rooseveltism, which no\* threatens to engulf representa tive government and republican institutions? What other Democratic candi date would so fully measure up to the ideals of the sane radicals and the sane conservatives upon whose joint action the result 01 the election will hinge? The World hitherto has with held its active support from ai candidates. It advocated an open convention at Baltimore, ana au vised its Democratic friends t* await the action of the Republi cans at Chicago. The open con vention is assured. Tne meas ures of all the candidates hav. deen taken. The situation i. clarified and further delay is un necessary. Like a twentieth-centur> Genghis Khan, Theodore Roose velt, with his horde of praint Populists and Wall street Social ists, is sweeping down upon thc- Republican National Convention. Mr. Taft seems as powerless t check him as the degeneiat Romans v:ere to check the de scent of the Goths and the Van dais. The historic party of Lin coln and Seward and Chase ana Surnner, Conklin and Chandlei and Blaine and Garfield and Har- Sherman and McKin ley is apparently in the death throes. This is the twilight 01 the gods, and the Democratic party must rise not only to its op portunity but to its responsibil ity. How can it do its duty better than to match sanitv against lun acy; statesmanship against dem agogy; the historian against the Rough Rider; the educator o; public opinion against the de baucher of public opinion; the first term against the third term; the tariff-reformer against the stand-patter: the man who would prosecuie trust magnates against the man who protects trust mag nates; tne man with clean hands against the man who draws his campaign fund fiom Wall street; the supporter of constitutional government against the cham pion of personal government, law against lawlessness; American ism against Mexicanism; the Re public against the dictatorship? Who better represents these issues than Woodrow Wilson? Who is better qualified than Woodrow Wilson to appeal to the intelligence and common sense of the American people against the most cunning and adroit dema gogue that modern civilization has produced since Napoleon III? Who would stand a better chance of election in this great national crisis? Let us look at the facts: It will require 266 electoril votes to elect a President. The so called Southern States, inc ud ing Maryland and Missouri, have 175 votes. Assuming that Ariz ona will go Democratic too, practically any Democr. t'c candi date for President can count on 178 electoral votes. But 88 more are necessary to victory._ Wnere can these 88 be found? It is foily to look for them west ?>f the Mississippi River. The West is in the midst of an other revival of Populism. In Theodore Roosevelt it has founo a new substitute for its gospel of free silver, lie is the political rt incarnation of James B. Weav er, Mary E Lease, Jerry Simp son and Peffer. He is the heav en-born ratio of 16 to 1 in a still more fascinating form. It i idle to think that any Democrat could to the West against Roose velt, It is idle to think that any boo.v who is not a far more masterful and dangerous dema • tnan Roosevelt could com mand the support of the Popu lists who now call themselves Republican Progressives. The Democrat party, if it is to vin the election and safegard American institutions, must inite the East and the South as Tilden did in 1876. Th-i candi iate must carry New York with its 45 electorial votes. He must I jarry New Jersey with its 14 'electorial votes. He must carry Connecticut with its 7 electorial votes. To lose these States is to give Roosevelt i walkover. To win these States is to win not only 66 of the 88 electorial vctes that are needed, out in all probability it is to win Ohio with 24 votes; it is to win Indiana with 15 votes, which i cne historical political ally to New York and New Jersey; it is to give the Democratic party an opportunity of victory in Mass achusetts witn its 18 votes, and co bring Delaware with its 3 votes back into the Democratic col umn. In other words, it is to elect a Democratic President or the United States. It is in the East that Demo cratic victory must be won. It is in the East that Rooseveltism must be overthrown. It is the East that must save the country from a third term and all it im plies. For that reason The World regards Woodrow Wiison as the strongest candidate the Democratic party can nominate The New Jersey primaries were a vita! test of his political strengtn not only in New Jersey out in New York. They proved that local opposition to him is iargely a myth. Although the campaign against him was well organized and abundantly financ ed, it failed miserably. He swept the State and th,e only four Jelegates he lost were lost through the personal efforts of James Smith, jr., a political boss whom Gov. Wilson kept out oi the United States Senate. In a section of the country where Wall street and the political bosses are most powerful, Gov. Wilson demonstrated that he hat the confidence of the rank and rile of the party, without which any man's candidacy is futile. Hs demonstrated as well thai .lis political strength is the kino jf strength that if essential to Democratic success in the vitally necessary States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. So much for that. During Gov. Wilson's public career Tne World has been com pelled to take issue with him 01 many questions. We regardec ■witn grave misgivings his sud den conversion to tne initiative and referendum, reversing th principles of a lifet me. We re gretted his apparent dispositioi to imitate Mr. Bryan's sweeping charges against the so-calle. Money Trust without supporting these charges with facts ant specifications. We regretted hi Jong campaign tours, his tot eager chase after the nomination, and certain symptoms of insta bility which threatened to weak en his public usefulness. Wi have not hesitated to warn hin. when we thought he was astray, and shall not hesitate t do so again in the future. B'lt Gov. Wilson's elements 01 weakness are vastly overbalancec by his elements of strength. Ht has proved his political courage and his fearlessness. He ha.s proved himself sound on tarift reform. He has proved himseli sound on the Sherman law. H. has proved himself sound on cor poration control. He has proved himself sound on trust prosecu tions and personal guilt. • He has proved himself sound against government by Wall street pluto cracy. He has proved himseli sound on the independence of tht judiciary. He has proved him self sound on the fundamental principles of constitutional e:ov- has proved that he is instinctively and temperamen tally a Democrat. He has proved himself a free man who cannot be bulldozed by bosses or in fluenced against his convictions even by his personal friends. Tnat is the sort of man who ought to be President. • Gov. Wilson has had more public experience than Grover Cleveland had when he was elected President. He is better known to the rank and file of the party than Samutl J. Tilien was t when he was nominated for President. The * World believes that he would be a progressive constitutional President whom the American people could trust a'nd for whom they would never have cause to apol gize. We appeal to all Democrats to consider this matter soberly and thoughtfully and without prej udice. Wd appeal to the dele gates to the Democratic Nationa" Convention to be swayed by no considerations except these o; principle and the public welfare. We appeal to Mr. Bryan to throw his great political influence upon the side of Gov. Wilson and aid the Democratic party to meei adequately this great crisis in the Nation's history. He ha» the most brilliant opportunity for disinterested, patriotic lead ership that has come to any American of this generation, and he has before him in Theo doie Roosevelt a striking and un yielding ambition. It is not in behalf of W oodrow Wilson that The World urges his nomination. It is not merely in hehalf of the Democratic party as a party. It is in behalf of American institutions. It is in behalf of the Republic. It is in behalf of the Nation that is now confronted with the grayest menace that it has faced since the obliteration of human slave ry and the overthrow of seces sion. The Spirit of Unrest. Saturday Globe. What's the matter with this old worid, anyway? Why this spirit of discontent and unrest everywhere manifest, in Europe and in America? There are wars and rumors of wars; there j are strikes and rumors of strikes; j there is revolt among the women of the world; there is political madness in the air and in the blood; there is rampant Anarchy oeing preached from the house tops; there is heresy thundering from the pulpit; there is a deluge of calummy and slander; of ly ing and of envy, enveloping the j the land in its slime; there are waves of crime—of shocking robberies and of more shocking butcheries—sweeping over both i city and hamlet; there is utter disregard of law, of * justice, of human rights, displayed as well by the plutocrat in his auto as by the submerged victim of hu man avarice and oppression. Now the American flag is trampled in the dust of our greatest city, again the right or free speech is denied at the other extreme of the land. To-morrow or next day perhaps, a negro will be burned at tjje stake, for the pleasure of men, women and children, and as at Coatesville public sentiment will sustain the infamy. To-day, to-morrow, as many times in the past, a poor, ignorant, neglected mortal will be railroaded to jail for a trifling offence and at the same time the doors of the penitentiary will open for some wrecker of banks and despoilers of homes to walk forth free in his gilded defiance. Such things are occurring all around us. They are pointed out as blots on our civilization, but they are becoming so numer ous that they may ba regarded as essential psr.s of civilization itself. Wnat is the 'underlying cause? Have we raised ma terial success to be our God ano are we thus paying the penalty for our blind worship of the dol lar, of social prestige, of powei and of prominence—for out reverence of the "golden calf?" Certain it is that grave unrest and disorders, vices an( crimes, assail our age. Then aas been, indeed, somewhat o; in awakening of the public conscience during the past de cade, but "graft" still sits en throned in the places of the higl tnd mighty and the incense oi worship still rises before th golden throne. Man has sub dued the earth, conquered th» ocean, chained the roaring cata racts to his ear of progress an now is engaged in a conquest o* the air. But he has not con quered himself and he never wil while his heart turns to follow after strange gods—the deities of fashion, wealth and powei and selffshness- Man Coughs and Breaks Ribs After a frightful coughing spell a man in Neenah, Wis., felt terrible pains in his side and his doctor found two ribs had been broken.

Text of the Lesson, Matt, xi, 2-19. Memory Verses, 5, 6—Golden Text, Luke vii, 23, R- V.— Commentary Prepared by Rov. D. M. Stearns. According to the harmony of the gos pels. the Sermon on the Mount was fol lowed by His using Simon Peter's bout as a pulpit and then tilliug their net with fishes after a night of fruitless toil. After tliat came the healing of the leper and the palsied man. the call of Matthew and the feast he prepared iu hist owu house, tlie healing of the impo.cul UJUU at Bethesda, the man in the synagogue with the withered hand the night of prayer, the choosing of the twelve, the sermon on the plain, tin healing of the centurion's servant, tin raising to life of the widow's son anc: much teaching dayby day. W hethe: this is quite correct as to the order ol events or not is not all important if wt can by faith see ourselves day by da; with Him who. being anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power, wen. about doiiy? good and healing all thn were oppressed of the devil. God beinj. with Him aud doing through Him tin miracles and signs and wonders (Act* x. OS; ii. 22). There was one great and good mai, who did uot see these wonders of Hi: power from day to day, for he \va? shut up in a prison for the truth's sake but he heard of them and evident I; wondered why the one upon whom In had seen the Spirit descend like a dov and remain upon Him, who. he Inn 1 .':'U told by God. was the Messiah ant. whom he had pointed out as the Latnl of God (John i. 31-3G>, did not delivei him from prison, for it had been pre dieted concerning Him that He would proclaim liberty to the captives am' the opening of the prison to them that are bound (Isa. lxi. 1). As far as w know Jesus uever visited John in pris on nor sent him any message up to thi>- time, and the father of lies was no doubt very busy with J«lin questioning the way of God and the love of God and insinuating that, after all, John must have been mistaken in pointing out Jesus as the Messiah. If John had uot been in some way and in some measure offended with Jesus would He have sent him the message He did ••Blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me?" (Verse G.) To the question of John through the two disci pies whom he sent, "Art thou he thai should, or do we look for another?" (verse 3) Jesus in that same hour wrought many miracles and said, "Go your way and tell John what thiugs ye have seen and heard," and then He add ' ed the word about not being offended (Luke vii, 20-23). At one time Jesus said to the Jews, "If I do not the works of my Father believe Me not. but if 1 do. though ye believe not Me, believe the works that ye may know and be lieve that the Father is in Me and I in i Him" (John x, 37. 3S). All this is in accord with last week's lesson on the ne; essity of works as an evidence, and doing always precedes teaching (Matt, v, 19; Mark vi. 30; Acts i, 1; iv, 20; Luke xxiv, 19). Notwithstanding all His mighty works ou behalf of Israel when and after lie had brought them out of Egypt, they were constantly being offended with Him and murmur iug against Him. They spake against Him, they believed not in Him, they provoked him, they forgot Him, and many a time He, being full of eompas sion, turned His auger away from them, for He remembered that the. were but flesh (Ps. lxxviii). What : picture of ourselves and how much w need that absolute confidence in Him and obedience to Him at all times which will keep us from ever being of fended (John xvi, 1-4). The disciples of John having depart ed. Jesus said to the multitudes that .John was no reed shaken with tbt wind nor was he such as live iu kings' houses, gorgeously appareled and living delicately, but he was indeed the mes senger predicted by Isaiah, and n greater prophet was ever born of wo man, and if they had received him h would have been to them Elijah. Com pare Matt, xvii, 12, 13, but do not fail to notice in the preceding verses that the real Elijah is yet to cdme. Tli saying, "He that is least in the king dom of heaven is greater than he" (verse 11), has perplexed many because they have not noticed the meaning of "in the kingdom" and have not under- stood that the kingdom cannot come until the king comes back again. Then the least in his resurrection glory will be greater than John was, and John himself will be greater than he ever was before. The kingdom was at hand when Jesus was on earth. It was in their midst in His person, as He said in Luke xvii, 21. margin, but they did not recognize Him or it. but by force resisted It, ill treating John and later nimself and doing to both as their re bellious, wicked hearts prompted them. He therefore told them plainly that the kingdom would not come at that time and not until His return (Luke xix, il-13). I am continually perplexed by statements from men who ought to -un derstand about the extension and the advancement of a kingdom that is not yet begun. Neither John nor Jesus Christ can please some people, and the number of those whom the Bible does not suit seems to be increasing, but the word of the Lord stands, and "wisdom is vindicated by her actions" (verse 19, Weymouth). On the special occasion of my re cent attendance as Commissioner to the General Assembly ot the Presby terian Church at Nashville, I was taken with a severe dysentery, accompanied bv great pain. Two doses of Dr King's Dysentery and Diarrhoea Cor dial gave me permanent relief and en abled me to be in regular attendance and participate in the leading move ments of that bodv. JOHN W.
