PRESIDENT WILSON COMMENDED.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger, one of the strongest!
independent papers in this country, pruned a very sella
ble editorial on President Wilson recently. It endorses
him for his earnestness, his sincerity and his personal in
tegrity. The Ledger concludes that although the presi
dent may feel a certain chagrin that one or two of his
"personally conducted" bills have fallen into oblivion, no
chief executive of this nation has ever had a congress
more deferential, pliant and responsive to his wishes. Per
haps never before has a president impressed his personal
ity more completely upon a legislature, and even when
there were signs of recalcitrancy, as in the ship purchase
bill, and the holding up of appointments, he was always
treated with the respect that his great office should com
mand and his personal attainments undoubtedly merit.
Even those who have differed most completely from
Mr. Wilson's policies have acknowledged the purity of his
motives and the ability with which he has supported his
favorite measures. At the close of the first half of his
presidential term Americans of all shades of political be
lief will gladly arid gratefully admit that the high tradi
tions belonging to the leadership of the republic have not
been lowered or brought into the slightest ill-repute. Mr.
Wilson has invariably stood as a scholar, a gentleman and
an unselfish servant of his nation.
