Ii there is no more than a small
percentage of fact in the popular say
ing that a knock is a boost more often
llr n not, one should not have more
than a reasonable doubt as to the re
sell of the coming presidential cam
I Knocking the opposition is, of
i ii i, an essential part of politics.
Tii ammer is by all odds the natur
I . upon of the politician and its
i the politic al arena an accepted
gc. Without the knock and the
r, politics would at best no
than a dull and lifeless game
d like by young and old. Out- ^
ill' politics the knock is more or,
ii s abhorred and condemned by
.one who has no occasion to use
' inselves and the "knocker” is a
I hi despised by everyone but him
self. Hut, let the knocker lie a poli
tic a ml tin1 detested knock under
i singulai transition. When he
us' it, its use becomes more or less
of virtue; is no longer an evil tiling
exec pt lo the opposition.
And, the greater the ability of tiie
point, ai knocker at swinging the ham
mer on the opponents of his party or
liel 1 t the greater his prestiage among
filitieal henchmen. The harder
In ceil knock the better he is liked
use cef similar persuasion. And
happens to he a master knocker,
the opposition will grant him
, admiration in recognition of
sui . kutlve ability.
, sa ver, it was not the intention
cuss the knocker in any of his
stations. What we wished to
s that if one fourth of the
c directed against the present

V- ! ■ into tiie almost proverbial
’ he must infaliiably be re
nin I the winner at tiie end of the
present campaign.
Even the oldest politicians can
hardly remember a presidential aspir
. lit who has been so consitently
kite ed and 1 singed as has the aca
deme Mr. Wilson. The old timers

Hide Mr. Wilson hits been guilty of
many things during the course of his
presidential career, has been guilty
of many liltlr slips which have tended
to make him a legitimate object for
attack. For one thing he lias made
an awful mess of things in Mexico, j
and has not boon above censurious
criticism in o:her matters. However,
the man who does not bungle things
once in a white is to be found only
under an epitaph in the quiet shades
of u cemetery so Mr. Wilson should
not be unduly blamed.
And, sifter all, it is possible that he
saw things with a larger vision, with
a more prop! etic eye* than most of
us who have condemned his methods
and has shaped his conduct of na
tional affairs along lines which pre
sented the f< west undesirable alter
natives. In sa doing he has perhaps
spared us many unpleasant things.
Perhaps his apparent faults were
really virtues even as the knock may
sometimes lie the best kind of boost.
At any rate, if knocking ever helped
anyone the pi -sklent will undoubted
ly be a gilt edged winner When the
votes are coupled in November.
