1t mast be apparent to each senator that there
is something fundamentally wrong with the laws
of a country which will permit strikes of the

All of US sometime in life have felt the heart

each of US. | trust, in his feeble way has endeav-

WHY is IT FOR WILSON

New York, Sept. 10. -Supporters OF
Hiram johnson, progressive republican
candidate for United States senator of
California, are railying in the standard
Of Woodrow Wilson. The San Diego
Sun, advocating the election of Gov.
johnson, has %repudiated the candidacy
Of Charles Evan Hughes and has de.
clared unequivocally for the re election
Of President Wilson. In the editorial
announcement of its position the Sun
says in part:
First of all the Sun is for Wood
row Wilson for president of the United
States. We are for Woodrow Wilson
because we believe he has to his credit
agreater store of genuine achievement
than has been vouchsafed to any other
president since Abraham Lincoln.
eve are for Woodrow Wilson be-
cause he has been the president of the
whole people and not for any certain
few of the people We are for Wilson
because we are opposed to swapping
horses while engaged in crossing a
mighty dark and very t%reacherous
stream in the middle of the night, and
finally, we're for Woodrow Wilson be-
cause the big predatory interest of the
country, the interests we have fought,

~ lined up behind the republican can

PRESIDENT WILSON

San Francisco, Sept. l5.-Henry
Ford. noted automobile manufacturer

Wilson because they constantly see
80 much good in the things he is do.
Ing. An interview with him was pub
lished In the San Francisco Bulletin
and attracted wide attention. In
part, 1t is as follows:
because of the many good things
President Wilson has done L think he
should be commended and heartily
appreciated.
II don't want a parallel between
the professions and the aims of the
republican and democratic parties.
In fact. the present trip of mine is

you the good things in the admins
tration of President Wilson. l feel
just - these people do about what he
hass done and realize keenly that his
great neutrality policy during the
European war has had the patient,
~successfnl result of keeping this coun-
nv ct peace.

In one term, President Wilson has
cleaned up all the political issues of
a quarter of a century and has made
this campaign a choice between a
party of honest achievement and a
party of carping criticism; between
a leader and a follower. There never
a great man who was not criti-
cised. But is it the mar of achieve
ment, or the critic that survives?

PEACE Note ASSAILED
AS DANGEROUS move
David Jayne Hill Attacks Presidents
Effort on Many Counts.
Special to Tho Washington Herald.

Special to Tho Washington Herald
Rochester, Dec. 29.-Dr. David Jayne
Hill, diplomat and historian, in an at
tack on President Wilson's peace note,
makes this remarkable statement:
Like Socrates. the President seems to
trust for guidance in moments of per-
plexity to a familiar or inspiring genius
from whom he believes himself to de-
five wisdom that cannot be obtained by
common counsel
IF it was designed merely to promote
an early conclusion of peace, the note
was untimely, Irritating and dangerous.
But perhaps the most serious feature
Of this epistolary adventure from the
point of view of American interests is
the statement that the United States is
ready and eager to guarantee the peace
Of the world.
This is a complete reversal of the
me-honored policy Of the United States
AS applied to Europe it is not only an
abandonment of that part Of the Mon
roe doctrine which pledges our non-in-
reference in European affairs, but it is
Implicitly an invitation to European DOW
ers to mix themselves up in our affairs
1T is the most perilous step the
United States could possibly take and
the impulse to take it betrays a lack of
foresight that is objectionable. 1t ought
to be resisted with all the energy that
the American press can put into the
cause Of national safety and self-preser-
vation-
I'VE are now informed that we are
on the verge Of war, without having been
informed Of 1t, prepared for 1t, or con-
suited about it.
What has become of that common
counsel that was to usher in and attend
the new freedomr BY what authority
does the President, without consultation
with the nation, pledge the people and
government Of the United States to en-
ploy every resource at their command
which, OF course, includes the army and
navy, for a purpose the Congress- has
never been asked to consider?''
