The Psychological State.
From the Chicago Herald

Speaking at a dinner of the New
Jersey State Chamber of Commerce. Mr.
Frank A. Vanderlip. president of the
National City Bank of New York, in
dorsed President Wilson's view that
1.-The main reasons for any business de-
preston at this time are psychologist
cal" None of the familiar signs, of
national or international financial dis
aster is visible. This is certainly not
the critical moment when a period of
undue expansion and discounting of the
future winds up with a bump. The
balance of trade for the last fiscal year
is in our favor. Good crops are pre-
dicted. The storm signals afforded
by the rising discount rates of the
great national banks abroad are con
spicuously missing. But to say that
a cause is psychological doesn't mean
that it isn't logical. Behind the psyche
logical state there is usually a material
situation which explains, even II it
doesn't Justify it. And when we go
plainly in evidence in the search OF
this explanation, we have no trouble
in getting to the root of the matter
The plain truth is that never before in
the history of this country was bust
ness called on to confront at one time
SO many contingencies depending on
governmental action.

The Independence Day Deficit.

1, IS reported that there is a deficit
in the community Independence day
fund. This should be made good
promptly by those who have not yet
subscribed. The fact that the affair
is Owe should not deter any one who
regards the new method of celebrating
the Foartn of July as satisfactory from
SEEDING in something to help pay the
bills that have been incurred, and that
nus; be satisfied. 1t is true that the
~ain somewhat marred the Climax OF
the days program, cutting short the
fireworks display on the Monument
grounds and interfering unfortunately
with the pleasure Of the great multi
tude there assembled. This, however,
was in no way the fault of the com
mi,tee in charge. and the citizens who
have been actively at work for weeks
past in providing a most satisfactory
program of events should be given the
fullest support In completing the bust
ness.
1t will be lamentable il the members
of this committee are obliged to as
sumo any part Of the deficit as per-
sonal obligations and yet this will be
necessary If the citizens do not now come
forward with contributions. Not only will
this be unjust to the men who have given
unsparingly Of their time and energy.
besides contributing personally to the
fund. but 1t will be a deplorable spec
tacle as an evidence Of lack Of practi-
cal public interest, and will cause hest
tation on the part of business men to
participate in such work in the future.
Every dollar Of this Indebtedness
should be guaranteed in advance Of
the final presentation Of the bills. The
amount involved Is small as compared
with the pleasure given to the people
Of Washington, and particularly when

from carelessness in the motors. So

responsibility for their safe use rests
upon the chauffeurs They are sup
posed to know exactly where they are
at all times. and although it is de
plorable that the railroads are not
compelled to safeguard their tracks by
installing overhead or underground
passages. while dangerous conditions
continue the motorists must take warn
ing from them and be certain of their
safety at every crossing.
These successive Sunday death rec
ords from reckless motoring constitute
one of the gravest evils of the time
Many thousands of cars are in use
every Sunday. carrying a multitude of
people. who are dependent for their
safety upon the judgment. skill and
carefulness of the drivers That many
OF those in charge of these cars are
incompetent through lack of expert
ence or faults of temperament is only
TOO evident from the frightful success
sion of casualties resulting from reck-
less driving. 1t behooves every per-
son who enters a motor car as pas
senSer to be sure of the trustworthi-
ness of the man at the wheel.

The Trust Tug.

Now for the tug of war. The Presi-
dent has said there must be trust leg
islation before Congress adjourrs. and
the democratic senators in caucus have
served notice to that effect. They are
going to fight out the matter on the
Presidents line If it takes all summer.
and even fail.
The legislation proposed is so i'm
portant to all interests, it should not
be whipped through. As the business
is to be done it should be done car.
fully and in order.
Night sessions of the Senate are sug-
Sested. But the suggestion is a sort OF
threat. AS a cloture rule is Impossible
in the Senate-at least at this time-a
physical test, it is thought, would be
an effective substitute. The majority
of senator's on both sides of the cham
Der have passed the age when a ten OF
twelve hours session appeals.
Come, now say the advocates of
legislation and early adjournment to
those senator's who would be glad to
see the matter go over until December.
or If pressed at this time not tyran-
nically so. we must hurry. The Presi-
dent desires it. and the country is i'm
patient. Your speeches will not affect
the result. but if you insist on deliver
ing them. the sessions must be doubled
In length for your accommodation"
Well. reply the senators thus ad-
dressed. If that is your view of the
matter. and you insist. you must fur
nish the quorum. We shall refuse to
speak to empty seats. AS little as you
may think of them, we think much of
our views. and after taking the trouble
to put them into form we must have an
audience. We shall insist on being
tried by jury of our peers"
Such a contest, if continued, will not
make for sound and serviceable legis-
lation- Moreover, there are senators
absent from the city. and others ar
ranging for early departure. whose
presence would greatly help in the
shaping of things. They are among
the leaders in the Senate and are al
ways looked to in the consideration o.
great questions for contributions of
Importance.
These men are not fairly open to
censure- Some who have already gone
need the rest they have sought. Some
arranging to go are physically run
down. and are obeying medical advice.
Nevertheless. the work Is presented
to the Senate. and the country under
stands the situation. Conditions are
not such as they should be at such a
time Not an exhausted and a rump
Senate. but fresh and full one. should
handle the trust matter. If business
needs trust legislation to steady it in
its efforts to adjust itself to the new
tariff and the new currency law, such
legislation should be the very best pos
sible in the circumstances. For bust
ness. like Congress. is very tired.

George Fred and the Future

III is stated that the powers have not
complained to this government about
George Fred Williams activities and
proclamations. OF course not All must
have felt assured of what the result
would be as soon as President Wilson
was put in possession of the story. Mr..
Williams had so marked himself for re-
tirement. nothing else was to be en-
pected.
A London cable says that In the Brit
ish foreign office and the London diplo-
matte set the affair has caused great
amusement 1t must have We some
times assert that the English are de-
ncient in the sense of humor. But it is
Mr. Williams distinction to have shown
that their case is not hopeless. He
stirred them. He made them laugh.
But although there has been no COM
plant from abroad, there has been COM
plant enough at home Everybody in
this country is curious. and inquiries are
numerous. How could an educated man
of experience have blundered so signally ?
As blunderer he has set the pegs He
stands without brother on the Hottest
peak Of diplomatic, or undiplomatic, ash
ninity.
What may be Mr. Williams own ex-
PLANTATION? Upon his return he will prob
ably call on Mr.. Bryan. who in turn will
call with him on the President. and then
the full story should come out at least
for the President and the Secretary Of
State
If those two officials should not care to
take the public into their confidence. and
Mr.. Williams should desire the public
Informed. he will have his remedy in the
chautauaua field. And a good drawing
card he will prove if he enters that field
He is a practiced speaker. though not an
impassioned orator. and he could tell a
story that would prove very interesting
to all
Mr.. Williams is too round for the role
of the great don. who was tall and lean
and too tall for the role of Sancho, who
was squat and fat But he has sur
passed both as an entertainer. Verify is
truth stranger than fiction. Cervantes
made his immortal puppets do some eX-
traordinary things, but nothing so ex-
traordinary as Mr.. Williams has done.
By his exaggerauons the Spanish au
thor laughed chivalry Off the stage"
But while Mr.. Williams has laughed him
self of the stage. he has not put an end
to diplomacy. We shall continue to need
diplomats in our business. though hence
forth they must be chosen with greater
care.
Maybe Massachusetts, serious and
even staid old commonwealth-rejoice
now that she never elected Mr.. Williams
to the governorship. He aspired to the
office, but never landed What rec
ord he might have made elevated to first
place, and with opportunity to disport
himself according to his bent and ability!

New Charter for St. Louis.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

After a campaign of much bitterness
been usual in other cities St Louis
Tuesday adopted Il new city charter
which radically revises her old form
of government The most striking re-
form is the abolition of the two cham
bered Legislative body and the substi-
tuition of u single body with purely
lawmaking prerogatives. Students OF
civic affairs appear to agree that St
Louis has made material advance in
the new charter. The charter is com
paratively short and flexible estab-
fishes the initiative and referendum
and recall. centralizes authority and re-
sponsibility, provides an efficiency
system. an adequate accounting sys-
TEN and what looks like a proper control
of public utilities.
