New York, Feb. lc.-'Too proud TO
fight would have been a very pretty con-
ceit in one of the minor poets. But It
was hardly a happy phrase for an Amer
lean President to indulge in at the mo-
ment when he should have emphaticaIly
called a foreign government to account
for a gross injury and a gross afrront
upon nation"
Gov. Samuel w. Mccall, of Massachu-
setts, in the above words fayed Presi-
dent Wilson at the Lincoln dinner of the
Republican Club tonight The dinner
was held at the Waldorf Hotel Ad-
dresses also were made by Domiclo
da Cana, the Brazilian Ambassador. and
Rev. S. Parks Cadman. of Brooklyn.
After the destruction of scores Of
American citizens upon the Lusitania," ="
said Gov. Mccall" the President ventur-
ed protest. But 1t was deprived Of the
force which a manly and direct protest
should have carried by the speech with
which he heralded its deliverance.
Need Long Forseen.
Nearly a year and a half ago. a Mas
sachusetts Republican called attention to
the necessity of preparedness. The situa-
ton then was as apparent as it is to-
day. Although Consress was not in
session. no important step was taken ana
over a year has passed in which one
International crisis has followed another
although it required more than a year
for the President to focus his mind on
the subject so that he could see the
that he can see it today. Let us hops
that he will move upon straight lines
and in doing SO that he does not move
in opposite directions.
How He Got Presidency.
His method of reaching the presi-
dency is we'll known. The literary
representative of a certain school, he
rode out of the wilderness upon the
shoulders of Mr.. George Harvey. Then.
at critical moment, he transferred
himself to Mr.. Bryan and thus completed
the journey
