A King who Plays a Kingly Part

ssIF we are to have universal peace" said
l Professor Franklin III. Giddings, ad-
dressing the other night the Institute Of Arts
and Sciences of Columbia University, the
Kings, the good ones with the bad ones must
go.''
Professor Giddings's idea was that popular
sovereignty does not hastily make for war,
while monarchical sovereignty does. With
all the Kings dethroned and republican insti-
buttons established, the inevitable consdera-
ton of the supposed causes of war in the
popular assembly would be strong guarantee
of peace.
1t may we'll be, and on the general PROPOSE
ton it is quite possible to agree with Pro-
fessor Giddings in full. In this war, how
ever, the neutral world would wish to see
an exception made in the case of Albert OF
Belgium. He has played a kingy part and
played 1t like King If his people love hin,
and the world honors and respects him, it Is
because he has displayed in this time OF stress
trial and desolation the royal virtues OF
courage, fidelity, honor and truth.

civilized people and savages alike. The man
with the ring in his nose works himself up to
fury to the beating of ton-toms; Funston's
men march into Manila to the humorously
inspiring strain of "There'll Be Hot Time

Nlukden go into great battle with Tschai-

Music means much. 1t gets into the blood
and nerves of people, whether in peace or
war 1t arouses them or sends them to sleep,
stirs their passions or soothes them. Who
that reasons will ever forget the magnificent
passage in the sinking of the Titanic, when
the band played Nearer, My God, to Thee
as the ship went down, and doubt that the
music sent many poor soul to its doom in
infinite peace?'
And now they are clarifying music--the
mad, passion playing, fighting music with iron
in it--out there where SO many white faces
are turned cold to the sky. It's wonderful
institution, is the band, and we only wish the
whole war could be fought with the music
of instruments instead of the singing OF bull

The Man ut the Wheel

a PRESS story from Washington indica ties
something OF an issue that may be
raised in the next presidential fight The
story, printed widely in the news columns
declares that never in the history of the coun-
try mas executive power been so absolute and
arbitrary; that the Jeffersonian principle OF
tri-part authority has been set aside by Presi-
dent Wilson, who has practically compelled
the majority to follow his dctation in tariff,
currency and Panama tolls question: and that
he has dominated the wills OF Representa-
ttves and Senators alike through eighteen
months OF congressional sitting, (which estab-
fishes a record. 1t is set forth that on every
vital question President Wilson has cast the
vote Between the lines, criticism is evident.
There is much truth in this. The country
found a President SO wise, so well-balanccd,
so clear-headed and dependable, that the
party of Jefferson could afford to accent his
counsels with very little argument There
has been no buster as Roosevelt would have
clustered. There have been simplicity and
directness and reason and judgment And
the man at the wheel was man so keen
sighted and sure that solid party was ready
to vote as he dictated, because no faction
within that party could discover any rational
reason for differing with him in his conclu-
sions.
Well, what would the country have better
than cne-man intellect of that sort? And
If Woodrow Wilson lomed so large stood So
squarely on his feet, thought and smoke so
convincingly that no rift i'm party solidarity
could be found, won't the country thank God
for such n D,an andIaugh at the bogy OF over
grown executive power?
