THE WISDOM or COUNSEL.

our strongest and most revered
presidents have always made it a
point to surround themselves with the
strongest and wisest statesmen ms
members of their cabinet. recognizing
the axiom that no one mans opinion
is as safe to tie to as the combined
decision of several thoughtful men.
In this one particular Mr. Wilson has
signally deficd precedent and has con-
sistently sought to make his admins
tratiOn n one-man affair. The mem
bers OF his cabinet have been COM
PEELED to be fgureheads, and when
ever one Of them did scrape up cour-
age TO have an individual opinion, he
has found IL advisable to resign. They
have been. not ministers of govern
ment, but mere agents of executive
authority. The chief post In his cab
met was bestowed in payment of q
political debt. after which he virtual
" relieved the secretary of state of
any initiative or real power by taking
it's duties into his own hands and
simply submitting his papers for the
Bryan signature. He has further
weakened the dignity and importance
OF the state department by sending
hither and yon over the world his
unofficial agents privately commits
stoned to represent himself personally
in dealings with the heads OF othei
governments and ignoring the regu
| lar consular channels. II is given ou
that the new secretary of war vii
| find his duties confined to giving the
official sanction of the department I,
whatever Mr.. Wilson may decree.
may be that the time has arrived
when the wisdom Of the prosiden
alone outshincs the combined wisdom
OF his entire cabinet but the common
people still believe that the best wa!
was the way of Washington, Jeffer
son and Lincoln who surrounded TIL
executive office with the biggest mel
and the wisest counselors that wer,
available at the time.

UNDESIRABLE ADVERTISING.

The state Of Oklahoma has been
held responsible for many uncouth

THE MAN WE ELECTED.

These have been exciting times IN
congress, when all the membership
was forced to align their individual
selves on the question Of supporting
the presidents foreign policy at the
risk Of whether their constituents
would approve or condemn the act.
As a general proposition, it IS not de-
sirablc that president should he
called ON TO exercise such pressure
ON the legislative branch. but it is a
matter for qualification that in such
an emergency as this he should have
been able TO secure a vote OF conii-
dcncc II was after all not so much
Of approving what the man Wilson
had done or would do. as II was
vote Of confidence in the citizenship
Of the United states as personified in
the man they had chosen TO act for
them. In the words OF Uncle Joe
Cannon. "he Is the man whom we, OF
our own Tree VIII, nave tl'cttd pI'Sl-
dent and to whom we have entrusted
our foreign affairs, and when we arc
engaged in n controversy with for
eign nation 1T is not the time 70 de-
plore or even TO admit our mistakes
This utterance Of the eX-speaker is
a pretty good explanation of the Re
publican attitude in this emergency.
Not all Of those who favored the up
holding of the national dignity voted
with the administration forces, for
some Of them favored dealing with
the issue in slightly different man
ner: but all Of them as far as we have
been able to observe were in line with
Uncle Joe's sentiments-the dignity
and honor of the nation demanded
that the president bc supported. with
out any question of party feeling or
personal preference. Bigger things
than partisan advantage were in the
balance. and Amcricanism triumphed.

help out conditions wonderfully. The
dust problem would be completely
