THE EXPOSURE OF SULZER.
The .shame and disgrace (hat
William Sul/.er lias brought up
on the state of New York will
end his career and keep him out
of public life. That satisfaction
wc have, at least. After what is
known about the man, no caucus,
primary, lor convention would
have the hardihood to put his
name before the voters for any
office whatever. The only ques
tion remaining is as to the time
of his going out.
We say this with all due re
spect to the venerable formula
about suspension of judgment.
Judgment has been held in sus
pension for Sul/.er while he has
been behaving like a guilty man.
It is necessary now to look the
facts im the face. The facts are
that Mr. Sul/.er did swear (o a
falsehood in his statutory state
ment of campaign contributions
received and disbursed. If, as is
said in his behalf, he accepted
as true a statement prepared by
others, then he showed himself
to be so egregiously reckless and
imprudent that his unworthiness
for public trust is established.
The other, and many would call
it the darker, part of the expos
ure puls a slain upon his per
sonal honor that we do not sot
how he can remove. The evi
dence of checks bearing his in
dorsement, his accounts with j
Wall sli.I. brokers, ami the los- j
tinmny of persons having Knowl
edge ol‘ his l rairsaelions, show
that he used funds rnnfribulcd In
help him in his campaign for
speculating in securities—In call
it investment does not mend the
mal ter.
What explanation can Mr. Snl
zer make that will change the
damnable showing of his check
ind rscmenls and his Wall street
accounts? lie will have a chance
to explain; nobody would he so
heartless as lo deny him Hint.
Rut already his reputation is
damaged pasl repair. No denials,
no palliations, no imaginable
thing lie can say will place him
where lie stood before or regain
for him the eonlidenee he lias
Xitlrrly forfeited.—New York
Times.
FEDERAL LEADERSHIP.
President, Wilson is making a
determined effort to establish an
effective leadership of his party
in congress. With the mean" he
employs or contemplates, or with
the use he may make of his lead
ership if lie secures it, we are
not now concerned. Hut il is
worth while pointing out that our
legislative system lias long suf
fered for something of the sort,
has lacked responsible guidance,
lias become clumsy, inert, and
confused, and has been exposed
to serious errors in limes of ex
citement. It is to be noted, also,
that the experiment of executive
leadership has been undertaken,
in differing spirit, by two of our
recent presidents,
Mr. McKinley, in his first term,
lived up very faithfully to the
old notion of the relations of a
president fo his party. He tried
to keep bis party united, and
when lie could not quite do that
he took what seemed to him the
stronger side. But in thie few
months of his second term that
were permitted to him his pol
icy underwent a signitlcant
change. In his last public ut
terance he showed that he had
done what he urged his party to
do—he had turned his face to
ward llu future. Had he lived,
there is no doubt that he would
have used all his powers of per
suasion and his ran* skill as a
politician to bring his party in
to line! with what he saw to be
the steady advance of public sen
timent toward the emancipation
of business and industry from
the outgrown restraint and in
terference of the tariff. The bul
J
let of a crazy anarchist blocked
that change and brought into the
executive office a man far more
bent on leadership than any of
his predecessors, and on leader
ship of a different sort from that
of the patient and unselfish Mc
Kinley . .
Mr. Roosevelt abandoned with
out hesitation the aim of com
mercial emancipation which Mr.
McKinley cherished, and turned
his energies toward a leadership
which depended for its success
Jnainly on ils appeal to popular
'feeling. 'He did not neglect—far
from if—the use of influence up
on congress, but he found that
'method tedious and not as pleas
ing to his temperament as the
amusing of popular excitement
centered on his own personality.
The net result was the disorgan
ization of his party in congress
and its utter demoralization in
the country at large. The order
ly advance which Mr. McKinley
had undertaken to guide was
turned into a wild scramble, a
free tight ranging around his per
sonal banner. It is idle to spec
ulate what may be the ultimate
outcome, for Mr. Roosevelt is a
man of large, though not varied,
resource and of tireless energy;
but for the present, not yet a
year from the close of his whirl
ing campaign, his following
seems in the process of progres
sive dwindling. Certainly his
experiment in executive leader
ship has not left the situation
in congress improved, has con
tributed nothing to the orderly
evolution of'popular representa
tive government. Quite the con
trary.
Mr. \\ ilson, \\(> think, sees Uie
problem ami has his own ideas
as to how it shall be solved. Ap
parently his mind is fixed, though
not narrowly, on the British sys
tem, so clearly described by Pro
fessor, now President, Lowell, in
which the initiation of all mater
ial legislation, as well as its
guidance through the legislature,
is in the hands of the executive.
That system has very great ad
vantages, as it has been worked
out through centuries of exper
ience. But its advantages de
pend largely oil a permanent ma
(diinfery for the preparation of
bills and upon the direct pres
ence and activity of the members
of the ministry in the two houses
of Parliament. The latter we
have* not, and cannot, hardly gel
without a radical change in the
Constitution. The former we
could adopt, hut the task would
be exceedingly difficult. Mr. Wil
son, it seems, is inclined not to
wait for it, but to do what he can
to guide and influence congress
through consultation with com
mittee leaders and, when occasion
repuires, with leaders, or would
be leaders, in the parly caucus.
This he supplements in a signi
ficant fashion by his policy of
personal appearance in the hall of
congress to lay before its mem
bers, not so much his specific
recommendations but the gener
al considerations on which they
are based.
It is an important and intense
ly interesting experiment. It, is
I o soon, of course, to predict its
outcome. So far it has worked
better than could have been ex
pected. For one thing, it, has
made the president in some re
spects more conservative than
strictly logical interpretation of
Some of his earlier utterances led
the country to expect,, though by
no means so conservative as still
earlier utterances indicated that
he then was. It is to he remem
bered, also, that in this big game
In* is, in a sense, playing a lone
hand. He has no single strong
man in his cabinet to aid him,
and the strongest is there main
ly to keep him-from opposition.
