WILSON FLExlBIllTY,

We do not see why there should have
been any stir in the senate over the
discovery that President Wilson has
completely reversed himself in the mat
ter of the proposed child labor law
Senator Borah was able to show that
Mr. Wilson described this legisla-
ton in his constitutional Govern
ment' as unconstitutional, an "obvi-
ously absurd extravaganza" CARRYING
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun-
darlcS of reasonable and honest infer
ence" and making it possible, if sus-
tanned, FOR congress to legislate over
every particular Of the industrial or
ganiZatiOn and action of the country."
That, we must confess, has also been
the Evening Posts view But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fOgies, dating back to the time
when 1t was the custom to have fixed
beliefs and principles and stick to
them. The senator has evidently not
read Mr.. Wilson's letter in explaining
his change of front on the tariff com
mlSSlOn-that 1t IS only narrow man.
whose mind IS stupidity closed to new
ideas, who does not alter his opinions.
BY this test Mr.. Wilson is obviously
one Of the broadcast minded men this
country has ever produced, for he has
changed his mind to date on the initia-
tive, referendum. recall woman suf-
frage, the tariff commission, tariff for
revenue only, permanent diplomatic
service beyond politics, the merit sys-
tom in the civil service, the proper
place Of Tammany Hall in the scheme
Of the universe, child labor legislation
preparedness, Bryan. continental
army-but why continue? 1t is long
enough list to prove that Mr.. Wilson's
political views are not fossilized by
any fear Of inconsistency.-New York
Evening Post.

How Much Is Now Left of the Bal
timore Platform


The president had boldly signed the
Pork river and hnrbor Dill, and his
facile pen IS dripping with Ink eager
to attach itself to Il pork public build
ings BILL
The fricndlicst apolOgiStS of the pres
1dcnt's part in the pronigatc waste OF
money wrung from the people by op-
pressive taxation have nothing better
to say for him than that it is hardly
fair to expect man to say II forbidr'
In his presidential year when he IS n
candidate.
The foregoing words describing the
prohigate waste OF the peoples money
with executive approval are taken
without change from q plank of the
platform on which Woodrow Wilson
was elected in 1912:
I'VE dcnOunce the profligatc waste
Of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through tile lavish
appropriations Of recent Republican
congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power Of
the peoples toll. We demand a return
so that simplicity and economy which
BELTS democratic government"
How much IS now left Of the prin-
clples declared and the promises reg
istercd at Baltimore as Inducements to
citizens to vote for Wilson.
Possibly IT IS because he and his
party have been such reckless, such
wholesale regulators Of the pledges Of
1917 that few people remember or care
to remember what pledges were made
In his behalf about forty days ago at
st. LOuis.-New York Sun.
