Not a Master.

A Paris correspondent writes to his

TN leaving Paris. Mr.. Herrick is be-
lieved to be progressing toward higher
destinies. In any case, when the day

raised and listened to in arranging the

Mr.. Wilson's Democratic Critics.

Some of the Presidents friends are
watching-though with no great un-
eaS1neSs just now-those democrats
who are open in their criticism of him.
How far will they go? What response
are they expecting? What use will
they make of it if the response is en-
couraging?
Not a man who contested with Mr.
Wilson for the Baltimore prize is a
party to this criticism. All but one are
Wilson men, in the sense that they
concede and advocate his denomination.
Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Underwood and Mr. Mar
shall have so expressed themselves.
Mr.. Harmon has said nothing one way
or the other on the subject. But he
has taken no interest in political af-
fairs since leaving the Buckeye gov
ernorship. He played but a small part
at Baltimore. and has played no part
at all in connection with the Wilson
administration. No Harmon men have
been appointed to Office in Ohio. Mr..
Harmon has not even called at the
White House.
So far as Mr.. Bryan is concerned
there seems not the slightest war
rant for assuming, as some are doing,
that he is hoping and planning to sup
plant Mr.. Wilson in the leadership of
the democracy. His pronouncement
against the liquor interests is not for
the purpose of embarrassing his chief,
but simply to warn his party against
an evil which has intrenched itself
within its domain. His idea is that if
the democracy does not divorce itself
absolutely from those interests they
will carry it to the bottom. And Mr..
Bryan has long held this view.
But among the men dissatisfied with
the Presidents course and SO expressing
themselves are some democrats of
prominence. They are not declaring
against his denomination. nor do they
suggest a leader for his place; but they
think he has made mistakes, and fear
he may make others. Hence their out
spokenness.
There is expectation that at the COM
ing session of the present Congress and
at the first session of the next Con-
gress this feeling will be voiced. The
recent elections showed a change of
public sentiment toward the party in
power. Except that the south blocked
the way, the republicans would have
carried the House. In all sections
where there were real contests they
won.
The result may give the critics of
the administration within the party
confidence, and even increase their
number. With the republican party d.
vided, Mr.. Wilson looked strong; and
he showed the courage of his strength.
He led, and but few democrats stood
out against him. But the early future
may have a different tale to tell and
the Presidents friends are on the alert.
though not as yet apprehensive of in
jury to him. They are looking to 1916
with steady eyes and supported by a
large hope.

The National Defense.

Representative Gardner will meet
the President Monday and discuss with
him the subject of the national de-
Tense. They are supposed to be on
opposite sides. At any rate. Mr.. Gard
ner wants a special investigation. while
the President has not encouraged the
proposition.
There is promise of early discussion
in the House. Opposed to Mr.. Gardner
will be Mr.. Sherley of Kentucky and
Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York. None
of the three has had military training.
and none offers himself as an author
fly on military matters. Mr.. Gardner
is capitalist, and Mr.. Sherley and
Mr.. Fitzgerald are lawyers.
These men have read the same Off
cial reports. and probably conversed
with the same army and navy officials,
about our military establishment, and
yet they differ in their deductions. Mr..
Gardner thinks conditions such as de-
mand material strengthening of the
establishment. while MIR. Sherley and
Mr.. Fitzgerald think they do not.
Could better reason be given for
a full investigation? Mr. Gardeners
allegations are grave. If he is right
in his reports and deductions, our un-
preparedness LOT war is OlSCreQltaDle
to US, and she matter should be at
tended to at once. If he is wrong, the
public uneasiness created by the
charges should be dispelled at once.
Both Congress and the country should
be fully advised. and the facts should
come from professional soldiers and
sailors-men not only familiar with
the facts, but able to explain them
to the everyday comprehension. A
congressional investigation with this
object in view and serving this end
would justify itself completely.
This matter did not enter into the
recent campaign. True, Mr.. Gardner
introduced his resolution at the long
session of Congress; but nothing came
of it, and the heavy losses sustained
by the democrats in the congressional
elections are not attributable to that
neglect. Congress. then, is not in
structed by the people, and must act
If at all uninstructed on Mr.. Gardeners
motion now.
1t is safe assumption that if Mr..
Gardner can make good the country
will be with him. If we are not pre-
pared for war we should be. If
larger outlay on our military establish
ment is necessary it should be made.
The money can be raised, and such
money will be the best justified of all
appropriated at the coming session.
Let us have no politics. no cheese
pairing, no delay about matter which
touches US all right where we live.
