NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 1o.-The freight

day the coal that was aboard freight

THE. PRESIDENTS BLuNDER.

We are willing to give to President
Roosevelt fun credit for good and honor
able intentions in his efforts to settle
the coal strike, but we cannot but th1nk
that the President has made dangerous
departure. the evil effects of which Will
he seen later on. Indeed, some of them
gre already seen. AS the Washington
Post remarks: 'All sorts Of fantastic
and impossible ideas are at work IN the
nub1ic mind. and the President is ea-
pected to take measures and to produce
results Tar beyond his power and au-
fhor:ty.''
There is the trouble The President
has invited the public to look 10 him
Tor relief, and it is not surprising that
,fantast,c people should take him at his
word. True the President SAID TO the
coal operators and Mt. Mitchell when they
met him at the White House that he
was not acting IN an official capacity.
Put he is the President, and he met these
men at the Executive mansion, and peo-
pie generally do not distinguish between
Roosevelt the man and Roosevelt the
President. Moreover. in his appeal to
Mr.. Mitchell, the President did promise,
ff the men should return to work. TO take
am the whole question in an official way
md apnoint a commission to investigate
and report conditions. with a view 10
rcdrcssing the wrongs Of which the
strikers complain
we think that the President has set
a dangerous precedent Hereafter. when
ever there is a strike OF national im-
portance. VIII not the strikers or the
people appeal to the President to settle it?
onu II the President undertakes to set
Ne all such strikes. what will the end be?
There is an alarming sentiment in this
rountry in favor Of government control
IF everything. and President Roosevelt
has greatly encouraged and rallied it.
x1e began by urging the people to give
10 Congress the constitutional right to
control trusts, and he made many
speeches throughout the country in favor
Of that revolutionary doctrine. This was
followed by his efforts to settle the coal
strike and it is not to be doubted that
&c the PRESIDENT Hdo oeeH Cio1uco WIN
she authority OF law, he would have ex-
ercised 1t and forced one side or the other
into subjecion long ago. If he had had
the power his appeals would have bsen
orders, and he would have seen to IT
that his orders were obeyed.
Many people arc doubtless devoutly
wishing that the President did have the
power 10 end the strike An fndignan.
