to them became at once real.
In the matter of business de
preston there is not man, wo-
man or child in this town who
does not hourly have some re-
minder of the fact that the lOca
want and misery are making this
the hardest winter within the
memory of most of us. Official
reports, personal experiences, the
daily mail which comes to news
papers filled with the most APP
pealing details of human suffer
ing, these are unfailing evidences
of the existence of business de-
preston.
But some months ago Mr.. Will
son decided that the whole trou-
BILE was psychological and not

it was made clear that Mr.. Will
son believed that wherever bust
ness was bad it was the result OF
moral rather than economic de-

of deliberate conspiracy to in

Now, what this means is simple
enough. 1t is that Mr.. Wilson
will not face an unpleasant fact,
an ugly truth. Instead he invents
some easy, more attractive sub
stitute.
Recently the United States
Steel Corporation passed its divi-
dend on common stock. The de
cision was made in the face of the
worst statement in the business
history of the corporation. This
is a palpable, tangible, Opaque
fact. Yet it will be recalled that
when, after a similar declaration
of the President about business

The weakness of the President
disclosed in all these incidents
is constitutional. The man simp

On the contrary, he reverses til,
process and makes a speech de

angrily rebuts all arguments

His latest declaration that tn,
stories of people out of employ

that he could see no signs of bus

Talk Of Convention City with
Philadelphia Regarded by
Some as Out of Race.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Senti-
ment began to develop Monday IN
the Republican National Committee
in favor of holding the Republican
convention before the Democrats
meet to choose presidential candi-
date. The Democratic convention
will begin in st. Louis June IA.
The committee met in formal
session here today to decide the
time and place for holding the Re-
publican convention. Members who
want an early convention favor hav-
ing the party get all the political adj
vantage 1t can by holding the first
convention. Those who favorsa date
after the Democratic convention con-
tend the Republican party should not
frame its line of attack until the
Democrats have made their nomina-
ton. Another argument used
against the proposal for an early
convention is that several states
hold primaries for the election OF
convention delegates in June.
