Mankato Review: The Fairmont
Sentinel discusses the well known fact
that lawyer can stand up in court
and tear to pieces the character of q
man in the most scathing manner and
the person attacked cherishes no
grudge against him because of it, but
let newspaper make the most slight
1y disparaging remark concering the
same individual and he makes an un-
relenting enemy of him. The Sentinel
concludes that the reason for this is
that it is assumed that the newspaper
tells the truth while few people take
any stock in what a lawyer says in
court. The Review is inclined to think
that there is still another explanation.
The person attacked excuses the law
yer because he only says the things
that he has been paid to say, while
the newspaper man says lot Of
things without getting paid for them.

Washington, March 2.-President
Wilson has served notice on Congress
that he will consent to nothing less
than a record vote on the anti-admin-

cans of the armed ships of European
bellfgerents before he goes on with
the German submarine negotiations.
! No compromise proposition such
% a vote OF confidence in the Presi-
dents foreign policy, will be accept
able.
Such an action, it is said, might be
construed In Berlin as justifying the
opinion that the President lacks the
support of Congress and his own party
In his demands for a full observance
Of international law, while it's only
purpose would be to afford members
Of Congress way to avoid recording
their positions before the country on
the straight, out-and-out question.
Climax To Day Of Confusion.
President Wilson's warning was the
climax to a day of confusion, uncer-
tainty and political maneuvering that
marked the opening of his first real
fight with Congress.
It was made known that the United
States does not consider the latest as.
purances from Count Won Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, as broad or
satisfactory as those originally given.
No further steps will be taken, how
ever, while the President waits on
Congress.
Meanwhile, the pending Lusitania
agreement will not be finally accepted.

thrown into a snarl when the Presi-
dent outlined his position to Chair.

Mankato Review: A Michigan wom-
an sued for divorce on the ground
that her husband is over fond Of cro-
quet, and a number of the newspapers
have expressed the view that she is
entitled to a separation with alimony.
To our mind such a verdict would es-
tablish dangerous precedent. It
might incite some husband to sue for
for divorce on the ground that his
wife was devoted to bridge whist and
thus the very pillars Of our social or
der would be in danger Of being over
thrown.

old system party bosses and manipula-

It might be possible to make some
changes in it which will make it more
workable without destroying the prin-
