- THE COMMISSION FORM!.
, . .. s-We note that the newspapers in the
' i - cities V which . have the commission
form of government are enthusiastic
?. in their praise of it. ' It is the kind of
' government, that gets results and re
sults are what counts,, for the day
V when theory and . sentiment .xan takri
-. tne place ot action; a it ever existed,
is past anL gone. ;. The Wilmington

'"Undoubtedly every progressive city
snouia accept tne commission iorm oi

get the genuine article. ; However.

Vilmington has lacked one : of the
great essentials of the form, yet "its

of the change. Wilmington somehow

MAKING THE DEMOCRATIC
' PARTY THE DOMINANT
J, . PARTY.
It is hard for us to reconcile these
V' two paragraphs taken from the editorial
, columns of yesterday's issue of the
Charlotte Observer: ....
" v '"The Observer had hoped there
. . would be a Republican or two in Wil
son's Cabinet The first Democratic
uj.iPresident who gives Cabinet recogni-
tion to Republican ability and talent
will take a long step toward making
tne democratic party the dominant
political organization of -the country."
' The Observer has always stood for
'giving the Republicans the offices
t when they would get in at Washings
ton -which has been pretty mueh all
. . the time-r-and it holds the same idea
. . when the ' Democrats get in. We are
, t3v spoilsman, and believe with Gray
Toole that "t the victors belong the
( ruins." We are in accord, therefore,
.-iththe success of the Democrats in
i holding up as many of the postoffice
appointments as they could. And We
.':,vaneJ;.-hpping that the Democrats who
::.: are to go in will not only have the
'jobs for life, but will be able to hand
them down to Democrats, world with-
4Mit end.' ' -,
. Mabye the Observer holds that
Vvf cabinet places do not come under the
, ;, head of spoils. Or maybe it has "two
? ; neo writing for its editorial columns
, land in the hurry of handling the inau
; T. :guaration news night before last the
U;tw editorial writereo mmitted to com-
"pare notes. . , ; .
v iAt ; all events we agree with the
, Observer in the larger of the two
J:-; paragraphs quoted rather than in the
.' shorter.. There are plenty of good Demor
,JiS$teato imply -qualified to fill all the jobs
' Uncle Sam has to offer and then some.
.' We always felt a little sorry for folks
. who were seeking office, but Democrats
: v are just as excusable, for wanting it
-. and trying to. get It as Republicans
i ever; were. ,." It is only natural for the
. horse that pulls the plow to wa"nt the
" fodder and it is perfectly fair to give
-it to him, , ,. i '
nt And now as to the effect of giving the
representatives ' of the opposing party
, office as a means of drawing converts
, from "that f party. It is only nec1
easary to -i cite Ithe. example and
and the fate of William H. Taft. That
was his idea of, how to make the Re
publican party grow in strength and
power. ' J How jthe schelne worked all
. jnen ' know. . lie wrecked his - party;
.-, There's no getting around human
', nature and it is intensely human for
the 1 winters in a conflictuo want the.
fruits of victory.. It is equally, natural
for the winners ,-to feel sore and dis- i
. gusted when the man ; who has the
listrjbution of the fruits of ictory in
charge passes them around, to persons
who not only did mot endure the heat
and burden of the day to win them but
who actually tried to appropriate
them" for theit. own exclusive useft P.
We areith the Observer, however,
in wanting , Jo ee the . Democratic
. party become permanently the dominant-
"party. ; But' frankness Will com'
pel all Democrats to admit that, there
is walking ahead. The combined, vote
f ir Taft;' and. Roosevelt '.in last
November's election , was, substantially
! irger than the vote 'for Wilson..: Mr.

Says Veteran EiJjKjr.
Lo'JSivi;fe, March 5. Col. Henry
Watterson, in an editorial uliich bears
the caption "Gloria in Hicelsis," says,
among other things, ' regarding the
change in national administration.:
"Going back no farther than 1892 to
the rovsterine hordes that shouted:
"Grover, j rover, four years mare of
U rover,." , ' I
Out they go, in we go" ' " - '
the refrain closing with eomething about
"clover." and the pen of the historian.
the mind and heart of the moralist,
experience something like a shock with
the thought of what did acutally happen
, "Though of differing personalities
and wide apart ' ia their antecedents
and equipment, Grover Cleveland and
Woodrow Wilson may be said to ihave
been mutually endowed by God and
nature with one of the most dangerous
and essential qualities known to man
that of 'abounding self-confidence
where ' blind, -- sov- misleading,'- yet -, in
dispensible to leadership. ' -.'.-. r-'i
: VThe Courier-Journal - opposed " the
nomination of Grover .Cleveland as it
opposed, .the nomination , of rWoodrow
Wilson. : la - it regarded Mr.
Cleveland, v through ' lack of political
training ' and . experience as ' wholly
unqualified; in 1892 although he' had
learned much, It regarded him as still
unequal, through influences and limi
tations of. which he. was not conscious,

justified the apprehension, i- :A

Decause it jpaa aiscoverea, or inougnt
it had discovered, in him an insensibility
to personal obligation, an indisposition
or incapacity to make common cause
and to work in harness, and a tendency
toward the tyrannous exercise ot power.
-"In his utterances since the election
Mr. Wilson has disclosed a very marked
manner in t he 'academician if not the
schoolmaster.' He has given to each
several occasions the air. and tone
rather, of the platform lecturer than the
party program. This is not to say. that
he has betrayed a want of wisdom, or
of . the sense of things practical and
real. His political philosophy is wholly
up to date, whilst he has shown, as
Governor of New Jersey, that in the
hurly-burly of personal' and fractional
strife he is altogether a man to be reek-
one with. g
'8ut Trenton is not Washington?
Mr. Cleveland in his first administra
tion made the mistake of judging the
congress ot the United States by the
Legislature of the State of New York.
Me' paid the price tor his error and in
time got", bravely over it. Mr. Wilson
albeit - new to the national capitol,
may know better. Even if he does not,
he may find a less defying, more com
plying body of political associates in
the two houses at the other end of the
avenue than Mr. Cleveland found,
and in any event, Mr. Wilson is so much
stronger in mental calibre and training,,
and in intellectual attainment, and
reach, .than Mn Cleveland that he
may be able to compel his will and way
where Cleveland A ailed. The law of
force, not of suasion, nevertheless is
the rule with both of them;
"Assuredly the "new President has
the right pig by the ear. . .
rutting the. Wilson vote, and the
.Roosevelt . vote , together as a joint
protest against prevailing. ' conditions
and a kindred demand for a change,
not only ot parties but of systems.
two-thirds oL the electorate want a
strong man at the helm and are. ready
to follow him toward .the extirpation,
root and branch, of the - syndication
of Government which long ago became at
once the source and resource, the. but
t ress and the bell-tower of old-line
Repulicanism
. The overthrow of corrupt-bossism.
involving everywhere a laison between
politics and business, is but an incident
of the task set forWoodrow Wilson.
All honest men may . support him in

the preservation of our representative
form of government " from the assaults
of crude opportunism and " maudlin
sentiment seeking the impossible that

clamor and legislative enactment of

of the Democratic principle ; and
