means of support at destination.
The practice above referred to has
been largely the cause of the increase
of vagrancy. Tramps that are led up
to the woodpile do not return soon
But If they are given railroad ticket,
or even escorted to the railroad yard
where they can jump freights, they
leave the city with benediction and
purpose of early return.
The shabby vagrant is an object of
some pity. 1t is easy to be lenient
and pass him over to some other town
which makes fair exchange by pass

class. This satisfies peoples good

ONE MORE YEAR OF WILSON.

| One year hence Woodrow Wilson
will quit the white house, giving place
to some man who will have received
the united support of the anti-demo.
cratic majority which undoubtedly eX.
lists in this country and who will thus
res tore majority rule in national af-
fairs.
| IN the year which remains to him in
the presidency Woodrow Wilson has
all opportunity to undo nulch of the
evil which: his administration has al
ready done to the country-and he
equally has the opportunity TO add to
the distress and humiliation which he
has thus far brought upon US. No
one can foretell the presidents choice
in the next fateful twelve months.
There are those who affect to see in
his recently changed attitude toward
the question of national defense, to.
ward the question Of tariff commits

ing the. treasury with sufficient rev.
enues, toward all OF the problems con-
corning which he has reversed himself
there are those, we repeat, who think
that Mr. Wilson is now remOrseful
for his previous conduct and that he
is seeking such measure of atonement
as the short time at his disposal will
permit
We are not of this number. We be-
lieve that all of the presidents revers-
ais of policy have been dictated by
considerations of self interest, and
that he is much more concerned with
his own future as candidate for re-
election than he is with the future Of
the country. He will doubtless sue.

tant party at the cost of the further
ravishment Of the platform upon which
he was elected; and he will attempt
to impose himself upon an aroused
country at the cost of any violation Of
THE lightly held principles which he
is now shedding so unanimously.
On the other hand there is not in,
considerable group who are seriously
questioning whether Mr.. Wilson'S
greed for continued power will not
lead him to thrust the nation into war
in order to insure his reelection.
More than two years ago, in one of
the acute stages of the Mexican prob
lem. an astute statesman remarked to-
the writer that he believed Mr. Will
son quite capable of this course. But
we doubt it. We doubt it quite as
much as we doubt the notion that Mr..
Wilson is suffering from any re-
morse for the results of anything that
he has done.
We look for Wilson to go on for the
next year as he, has gone for the past
three years. We look for him to hold
to nothing firmly-except his own. be-

THE ROOSEVELT MOVEMENT

Some Of our contemporaries and
more of our political friends are dis.
playing signs of extreme peevishness
because progressive and three re.
publicans in Massachusetts have said
that they want Roosevelt for presi.
dent" and have announced their can.
didacy for the Chicago convention on
that basis.
For the present, at least. we decline
to get excited over it. In the first
place, the colonel will probably dis.
avow the plan as soon as he gets a
chance to do so. Nobody knows bet.
ter than Colonel Roosevelt that he
can never get the republican nomina.
ton this year if it is to be fought over
in the primaries and state conventions
If Roosevelt heads our ticket this
year it will be because the delegates
at Chicago, after going thoroughly
over the ground, decide that he is the
best man on whom to unite in the con.
ventiOn and that he can secure the
complete, Old time strength Of the
party at the polls. To make Roosevelt
an active candidate in the pre-conven-
ton contests means to revive all OF
the animosities of four years ago, to
increase the intensity of those animos-
tiles as the struggle progresses and
to restore a condition Of resentment
in the party which will make it en-
tremely difficult, if not impossible, for
the anti.democratic majority of the
voters to get together in November.
This would insure Wilson'S re-elec.
ton, which is the last thing that Mr..
Roosevelt wants. Years ago Roose.
Welt described himself as "a practical
man." He still is in that classified.
ton, and he knows that the defeat Of
Wilson is the most practical and nee.
essary step to be taken if this country
is to regain the place which we held
as a nation prior to 1918. The colonel
has no intention of splitting the beans
if he can help it. That he would like
our nomination we do not doubt. But
that he intends to have the republi-
cans divided on that question we do
not believe. Therefore we shall for
the present regard the Massachusetts
episode as interesting-for Massas
chusetts-but as Of little consequence
elsewhere.

FOREIGN TRADE COMBINATIONS
BEING ARRANGED.

Washington, Feb. 2S-(Spccial Cor.
respOndence) American producers
and manufacturers are deeply inter.
ested in the movement on foot among
the warning nations of Europe to con.
troll trade after the close of the war.
There has already been much discus.
sion of the preparations on foot in
England. A recent development was
the unanimous adoption of resolu.
ton by the chamber of commerce at
of Austria and Germany to render
them more independent OF their polit-
ical and commercial opponents in re-
gard to the supply OF necessary food
stuffs, raw materials, and Industrial
products, and enable them to defend
with greater energy their commercial
interests in the world market"
/, The character of treaty providing
for such a union is thus outlined: 1t
should provide for the longest posi-
7. bic term of duration. The contracting
nations are to regulate their CONNER
cial policy according to a unified plan
and will act as unit in tile negotia-
tion OF commercial treaties with 9th
or countries. I'm order to make this
possible" says the resolution, "the
two governments must first come to an
agreement as to the customs tariff
which is to be used as basis for Ne
gotiations. This will be accomplished
most successfully by the adoption Of
a common tariff system" +.
The resolution gives expression to
the belief that mutual support should
make it possible for the two nations to
bring all their economic powers to full
development, increasing the consum-
ing power Of the population, lower the
cost OF production, specialize industry
and win for themselves an increasing
share in international commerce. "It|
! is especially desirable that the mon
archy and the German empire shall
favor each other in tariff matters toI
the greatest extent compatible with al
due regard for the protection of home
industries, allowing for differences inl
the conditions Of production. Through
careful reconciliation OF these differ.
ences the necessity for such protect
ton (that is. between the two con-
tracing powers) must gradually bel
lessened and. whenever possible, set
aside" Finally the RESOLUTION rel
cites: Especially is it to be desired
that the commercial union of the GEN.
trail powers shall be recognized in the
peace treaties with other states and
that every claim to most favored ma
ton treatment shall be excluded at the
outset"
The proposal to exclude claims of
other countries to any benefits under
this commercial union, on account of
the most favored nation treatment, is
particularly significant as marking a
step in the direction of the American
policy of interpreting commercial
treaties. In Europe treaty extend
ing benefits to particular nation,
ipso facto extends them to all others,
under the most favored nation clause.
The American Interpretation of such
treaties requires that for a third par
ty to enjoy similar benefits it must
make similar concessions. 1t was uh-!

The Washington correspondent of
the Houston Post intimates that Mr..
Wilson is by no means displeased by
the show of opposition to prepared
ness in congress. He is said to feel
that the eastern states are unduly
alarmed and and that little holding
back by other sections Of the country
will save the country from being
swept off its feet. In other words, Mr..
Wilson does not care much about pre-
paredness himself He thinks there
may be votes in it and he is ready to
play one section of the country against
another in order to make his own rec
ord straight regardless of whether the
nation is put in a proper state of de-
Tense or not. The Houston Post is a
thorough going democratic paper, so
that its utterances cannot be taken as
attempting to disparage the president.
