NOT PSYCHOLOGICAL. But RUINOUsLY REAL.
FOR man professedly wise in statecraft President
Wilson has said and done more foolish and inn
polite things in the comparatively short time that he
uas been chief executive than be laid at the door
oi any President in recent years BY nsstenee upon
ms policies ne has brought industrial and commercial
disaster upon our country outraged the spirit or
American patriotism forced our business men 10 de-
eide that the Wilson administration is the enemy and
the DESTROYER and not the friend and the conseryator
Of American business and led to discomfort IN and
dsoganzaton Of the Democratic party in many states
IA all sections OF the Union
His assertion that the industrial and commercial
depression that is working such havoc throughout tho
country Is psychological and real has made him
an object Of national ridcue For instance the New
York Sun says:
President Wilson viii have difficulty in convincing
even his most enthusiastic admirer that the Clann
company receiVership is either psychoorica or the
outcome Of conspiracy to dscredt his adminstra-

Mr Wilson has seriously believed that business has
not been bedeYiled into timidity retrenehment and

husinessg
Mr.. Wilson betrays fondness in his nuhlic a,s
courses for illustrations derived from the operating
sneaues ot hospitals devoted TO surgical cases Has
ne ever heard of the operation which was a perfect
success although the patient died?
y Is absolute folly for President Wilson "a A.
tempt to unload psychology or anything else his
responsibility for existing conditions The man whose
business has BEEN or is being ruined and the wage
Garner whose earning capacity has been utterly
destroyed or seriously curtailed cannot be piacated
by White House assurances that their troubles ara
psscnoogea or the result Of widespread conspiracy"
on the part Of American business men To such suf
terers the depression is real as il is nnous and

WILSON, who is insisting that his anti-trust bills he

Inc president is expected to take up this conspiracy
as soon as he has run the other one to earth
That shows that even President Wilson's talkative
Secretary OF State is not above working up artificial
puolic sentiment in support OF the administration
which by reason of his work in Baltimore he in
nicted upon nation. Nor does he eyince anv
mouesy IN the matter of his work as an eccelerator
