President Woodrow Wilson
and Government by Conspiracy
From the New York Times9

President Wilson no doubt is fol-
lowing closely the reception BY the
country Of his discovery Of con-
spiraey Of business men against his
policy for the dissipation Of the
psychological depression Of business.
he announces from time to time the
opinions which agree with his that
tne country Is more prosperous than
y thlnks, but. ne preserves an elo-
quent silence regarding the conspir-
acy This is remarkable because
the proofs of the conspiracy are
acenmulating most conYinclngly. The
opinions of our contemporaries re-
gardless of political afiliations or
section Of country, Overwhelmingly
agree that the business men are
agreed as the President describes
Ihe editors of the country arc of ALI
degrees of opinion about the depres-
SION and its psychology, but they also
are co-conspirators with the business
men The proof OF the editorial
conspiracy Is even stronger than the
PROOF OF the conspiracy Of the bust
ness men. The Presidents views
feached them all by telegraph, and
without opportunity for deliberation
thelr next issues contained the same
opinions IN various phrases. Clearly
TINS was impossible without a prev
lous understanding. 1t would have
been impossible to produce such re-
suits without previous organization
ana conspiracy of unanimity.
rms IS either portentous or ridden
lous. Either the country is threat
ehed with government by the inter
ests hitherto the monopoly Of SEN

IN the same old manner under an
other name. The President is Presi-
dent either by a conspiracy Of the
electorate or by the full and free ex-
preston of public opinion. The agree
ment OF the business men and the edi-
tors Is either conspiracy or inst such

PUBLIC OPINION.
From The New York Times.

From the New York Times
The weakness Of the Presidents
position toward the business mer
whom he accuses Of trying artihcially
to create business depression is that
he ignores the right OF those men to
have opinions touching public mat
ttrs and tc express them as often as
they please. He attacks the methods
Of their acceleration of public opin-
ion rather than the substance of their
opinions. and himself accelerates his
contrary views. Since the opposition
Of opinions Is explicit one or the
other is wrong, and since the meth
ods Of acceleration are similar, both
must be either right or wrong. In
substance IL is not possible to agree
with the President without disagree
ing with the business men. and in
methods II is not possible to condemn
either side without condemning the
other II the Presidents opinion
shall prevail his method will be ap-
proved, but until II does prevail his
appeal to public opinion must be re-
warded as an attempt to create Il
rather than TO follow It.
As the matter stands, what is en-
phasized is a difference of opinion
even more serious than that between
the business men and the President
Both are representatives OF schools
Of thought and methods OF legislation
whose antagonism is at least as pro-
nounced as the personal differences
exposed by the President. The Presi-
dent represents those who thus far
have found profit IN the newest meth
DDS of both politics and economics.
Those who are in the Office are there
for the execution of popular theories
ui reform by legislation. They are
pursuing what they regard as their
duty. They must as honest men
proceed with their duty at every cost.
and they should so proceed so long
as they have the support OF public
opinion
The business men, on the other
hand. represent those against whom
this legislation is directed. 1t may be
good for them. or Il Is bad for them.
However mistaken their views. thoy
are entitled to hold them, and to
press them before public opinion.
The President is wrong If he thinks
lhat ne can suppress views different
from his own, or that he can impose
his views upon those differing from
him. The fact is that the President
and the business men are strong only
SO long as they are representative
The country holds both parties 10 the
dispute in the hollow OF its public
opinion. The country rules Wash
ington, and is not ruled by Wash
ington
The same is equally true about
the rule OF what is known as hip busi-
ness. or Wall Street II cannot hone
by any form Of conspiracy To have its
way contrary to the public opinion
e which i has a right to appeal. In
the long run the side viii win when
Is right even though for a time me
wrong may prevail Both the Presi-
gent and the business men should
