Wood row Wilson. The following is from tire Haitimore Sun of election day: Today the voters of the I'nited States will elect a successor to Woodrow Wilson. Whatever the result of the election, he will cease to be, after March 4 next, an active factor in i American politics. From tomorrow on 110 further abuse or criticism of him will hurt the Democratic party or help the Republican party. Mr. Wilson is a very ill man. In the New York Times of Sunday last were printed statements regarding his condition from several of the proleaguers who saw the president at the white house a few days ago. We do not think any humane person can read those statements without being profoundly moved. The president's condition is directly due to his devotion to duty, lie has quite literally spent his life's blood in the interests of the American people as lie saw them. In their behalf he cheerfully assumed a burden greater than he couid bear, greater probably than any man could have borne. At bottom the criticisms, even of those most violently hostile to him, amount to but this, that he made a splendid effort to achieve a noble purpose?and failed. The last half of that statement will not be admitted by millions of his fellow citizens. They feel, they know, that he has not failed, but has been gloriously successful. But even if he has failed, is that a justification for abusing him for the attempt? There are failures more sublime than successes. lint ear hi* nrmonents. it was nec v> r esarv to fight him in order to put : an end to "Wilonism." Perhaps so, | from their standpoint. But it was not necessary to abuse and malign him. At any rate, the time for fighting him is over. He is no longer an ac-j tive factor in our politics. j Is it not a matter of mere justice, a matter of common decency, that with today should end all these bitter attacks on a man who has been made ill by faithful work for the people. Isn't it appropriate and humane that from now on his critical fellowcitizens should think more of Wilson the man and less of Wilson the official? It is one of the astounding illustrations of the cruelty of partisan feeling that the president's illness and his sufferings should not have evoked more, and more sincere, expressions of sympathy, even from his political opponents. Mr. Wilson's greatest defect as a politician has been his incapacity in the art of self-advertisement. He has no skill in thpse Ittle artfices of which Mr. Roosevelt was a master, which bring home to the wide public the essential humanity of men in the public eye. The limited number ot men who have come into contact with him personally rather than officially?Mr. Grasty, who spent some weeks with him at the white house, , Mr. Tumulty, who has been in intimate association with him since the days of the New Jersey governorship, and many others?have indeed, testified to his personal charm and his warm human sympathies; but Mr. Wilson has no capacity to project this impression throughout the country, as a whole. Newspaper men, at least, who have seen so much of the efforts of politicians to advertise themselves, will account this quality to him as a virtue. But it has prevented hm from becoming known as he is to the whole people. Our greatest presidents have been those who were the most greatly maligned. Washington. Lincoln, Wilson ?all of them were made the targets for the bitterest kind of abuse and criticism. It is a tribute to their greatness that this should be so? strong men provoke antagonisms. But hasn't the day for this sort of thing as concerns Mr. Wilson passed? We have been talking from the standpoint of those who have honestly oppos?-' Mr. Wilson's policies. But there is u-. -ther standpoint. To millions of his countrymen Mr. Wilson has oeen for the last eight years an inspiration and an ideal. His ideas and his policies have made life and politics meaningful and purposeful to " " * A 1 them. They have maae tnem reei thai: politics is something more than a game and progress something more than an illusion. There is no need to appeal to them for an expression of \their tribute of loyalty and faith. , But for the others, hasn't the time \ come for them to voice that sympathy which is this very great man's due 1 and which, at the bottom of their , hearts and as a result of their sober second thought, they must surely feel?
