Below-the- Belt Criticism of Mr.. Wilson.

President Wilson is justified in complaining or
the attacks made him in the course Of the canal
tolls debate. He has tried TO keep the question or
repeal free from personalities and petty insinua-
lions He has admitted that lis own speeches and
the Democratic platform originally committed the
party to the exemption OF American cOastwise ship
,ing from canal charges He said that he had come
% the conclusion that the exemption policy not
Dnly an economic mistake but that If persisted
in would interfere seriously with the successful
conduct Of our foreign relations He threw himself
on the patriotism and sober second thought of
Congress.
The response of a considerable element in Con
Cress has been what Mr.. Wilson describes as "a
series Of insults" He has been accused Of dcker-
ing personally with British diplomats for Great
Britains support Of the administrations antIuerta
policy in Mexico He has been charged with official
,mproprieties and with cowardly trucking to for
Ngn opinion. 1t might be merely paying off his
critics in their own coin for him 10 say that they
ire trucking to the shipping interests and seeking
20 vote subsidy to those interests under the guise
Of recovering rights which were signed away in
the HayPauncefote treaty The President might
rail- Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood subsidiSts in
Sleeps clothing. Yet he has wisely refrained from
doing so.
The issue Of repeal ought TO be kept clear Of the
Issue OF grants out Of the Treasury to domestic
shipping. IL Congress wants TO vote aid to the
ship owners it can do at any time after the
canal opens. The only real question involved in
the Sims repeal bill IS that OF living up or not living
up in the strlctest the nations treaty obli-
cations.

\ Little Man in the Presence of
Big Opportunity.

rho moro Governor Glynn tries TO Justify his re-
cent appointments the worse mess he makes oi IL
lie has pleased Murphy and the 1ammany gang lie
ha, not pleased the upft element in his party ana
he has not satisfied the public And he seems utterly
incapable of understanding why. "These appoint
ments embrace all the factions Of the Democratic
party" he insists, only to have Dudley fleld Malone
and Mayor Mitchell, who certainly voice the sen'-
ments of a considerable portion Of the Democratic
party tell him the jobholders he picked are hope
lessly bad.
II IS the Governors trouble that, in spite Of all
his declarations that he was not going TO Try 10 ne
'party leader" or fuss with the mechanics or poll
tics he has insisted playing politics with these
nominations. He has said he was going to be Gov
ernor and he has become a miserable job dispenser
The public would be glad TO the Democratic party
uplifted The party needs it badly. and the state
would be better, of II the process could take place
But the public Is not deslrous enough of bringing
about that uplift tosapplaud Governor who makes
appointments worth $125O00ra year on that basis
leyen ifshe accomplished 1t. And Glynn wasn't any
iuplifter Instead of taking vacuum cleaner 10 ms
pary he turned the bulk Of his fat jobs to Muir
lphy and his gang. 1.-The Evening Sum- a short time
ago the Governors most enthusiastic friend and ad-
yocate says well in concluding an able article that
the, Governor was little man In the presence OF
great opportunity and he could see it only as little
man" It is true, and he is now raging and infu-
rated. little man in a very bad temper, because
members Of his own party and the public refuse 10
shut their eyes to the fact that he is little man,
sometimes talking high sounding phrases, but unwiIi'
ing or unable to live up to them.
The Governor had his opportunity In the most
important task of his Governorshp he ceased to be
Governor and became a political msnipulator-a
dickerer, thinking OF politicians Endorsements and
trying to reconcile fighting factions instead Of think
ing of the merit Of the under consideration and
the claims of the public to efficient and disnterested
service The voters could support and continue to re-
spect Governor who made mistakes If he made his
own mistakes They have neither respect nor
use for Governor who abdicates his functions 70
the politicians and makes he boss's mistakes.

Fashions lin Men and Facts.

OF course men change. We will not say that
they strive to please any more than we believe
such to be the feminine habit Of life But when you
have clinging vine you must have sturdy oak
and now that the vines are standing alone, and
doing quite nicely thank you, the Oxks natu-
rally losing their excess Of sturdiness. Taking
neither sex effect, let us rather con-
slider them Complementary, both changing their
fashions " fiji one another's needs.
The interesting way in which our heroes Of fc-
ton have reflected the changing males of real life
is pointed out by Mrs Katharine Fullerton Gerould
i'm the current atlantic Monthly Where are the
brilliant, dark, compelling gentlemen who fought
duels at dawn? Gone down the river of time, along
with all the weeping, vapory James. The Satanic
charm" as Mrs Gerould names this ancient mascu-
line quality, has given way to such un-Byronic
soul Y. VS..
1t is pleasure TO follow Mrs. Geroud's exposl-
ton of the Meredith heroes. Here as on dozen
paths the great man Of Box Hill outran his century
and showed the way Of many years that TO
come. There are plenty of old fashioned heroes in
the Meredith books-Sir Willoughby Patterne Lord
Ormont and Lord Fleetwood for example. But they
all conquered by the real heroes, the thinkers
Of whom Matey Weybun sounds perhaps most pro
phetic I'm the Of to-day.
We must quarrel a little, however. with Mrs.
Cerouds smokers at the successors to Meredith
She feels that sentimentalism has flooded in and
that the world is reform mad. She longs for some
Of the old, solid conventions-as, for instance that
there is an 'impaSsable barrier between the upper
and lower classes, that pedigree counts nightly
and that there is hierarchy Of souls quite along
traditional lines Our noyelisls from Mr. Wells
down tanper with the facts. she complains.
But what are the factsf When Meredith was dis

Act 1876 relates to the Rapid Tran
