Washington just now is how long President Wilson will be able to retain his remarkable control over the Democratic House and Senate. A good many Derriocrats have been sullen almost to the breaking point over- Wilson’s insistence that the currency measure be attended to at this session. The present writer bql,ieves that Wilson’s coritrol will be sufficient to pass the' currency bill. How much longer it will last is a-different matter; nor need any one feel very apprehensive about the consequences of a break. The present writer believes the break will come, sooner or later, and that JVilsón’s-leadership won’t lose any thing by it. The ensuing situation will be clearer, more definite, and altogether, more wholesome. Wil son will probably get as many re cruits from outside the party as he loses within it, and, whatever hap pens in the immediate future of American politics, he is pretty sure to be a leader of an important group, which will be compact and homogeneous. —Collier’s <!■ I Land For Sale i I I I I I Mealey Bros.
