1t is doubtful If ever before a
president OF the United States was
subject to so scratching an arraig n

Elihu Root, in opening the New York
Republican convention. Dignity, In

and complete absence of violence

administration is today fairly wrlth-

gress are prone to admit. in private
conversation, that the former sena-

" exposed the clay feet of this IDOL
as to render his rehabilitation a
herculean task.
In a single chapter, Mr.. Root laid
bare the woeful inefllciency of the
Democratic party, the characteristic
and temperamental unfitness oil
Woodrow Wilson for his high Office
and the long array of deplorable and
humiliating plumbers which have re-
suited from entrusting the govern

Mr.. Wilson to protect the lives and
property OF American citizens
throughout the world and the
shameful, brutal facts. the weather
vane has shifted In manner to hui
initiate and disgrace Jus, citizens, In
the eyes Of mankind.
To sum up the evidence Of the
only witness we have cited, who Is
Woodrow Wilson himself, we find
that
President Wilson was in favor Of
a single presidential term. Now he
Is against it.
President Wilson was in favor Of
the Garrison continental army plan.
New he Is against 1t,
Presldet Wilson was opposed to
increasing the navy Now he de-
mands that the navy be made the
largest In the world.
President Wilson was opposed to
young men spending time in military
training. Now he demands that
400, 900 be trained.
President Wilson was opposed to
tariff commission, Now he de-
mans tariff commission.
President Wilson favored inter-
vention In Mexico, and did send the
army to intervene. Now he declares
that while he is president nobody
shall interfere in Mexico"
President Wilson demanded that
all Mexican claimants get together
in a conference to establish de lac
to government, and threatened nom
recognition OF any Who refused.
President Wilson then recognized as
the Mexican ruler the only claimant
who did not, and would not, Join In
the conference.
President Wilson was in favor OF
free Panama canal tolls. After his
election he compelled the Democratic
majority to repeal the free tolls law.
President Wilson wanted to knock
Bryan into cooked hat, and when
elected he made him his chief Official
adviser.
President Wilson was outspoken
against labor unions. Since his cleo
ton he has sedulously courted labor
union leaders.
President Wilson was opposed to
the initiative and referendum. Then
he declared in favor of it. Since
that he has forgotten 1t.
President Wilson was out and OUT
in favor Of free trade on theoretical
grounds. Now he says he doesn't
care anything about free trade theor-
les.
President Wilson Is for womans
suffrage in New Jersey and against
woman's suffrage in Washington.
President Wilson was opposed TO
preparedness as late as last year.
Now he is preaching preparedness
fervently.
President Wilson was pledged to
protect American lives and property
in any foreign country, Mexico In
cluded. NOW he says 1t Is none OF
our business" what happens in Mex
leo.
We leave to President Wilson's
apologists the task Of reconcillng SO
many contradictions.
To us it seems that President Will
sor has no fixed principles or con-
victions upon, any subject under the
sun, and that he is consistent only
in advocating anything that promises
to promote his recollection and his
personal ambitions.

New German Crisis.

Another crisis with Germany, one
manufactured at tho White House but
no less capable Of serious results Tor
that reason, is now agitating those
who have the peace and the good name
OF this country at heart. Prompted
by a determination 10 achieve some
thing which might promote his po-
litical fortunes, President Wilson
caused Secretary Lansing to propose
TO the neutral and allied powers Of
Europe that all merchant ships should
abandon the time-honored practice OF
carrying arms designed for self de-
Tense, and even suggested that this
country might decline to admit to Its
ports or permit to depart thereiron
any vessel so armed. And this pro-
posal was made with, apparently, no
realization of the difficulties attend
Ing the alteration Of international law
in time OF war and no recollection That
this government had as recently as
November, 1914. put itself on record
in opposition to such a plan.
Germany, naturally inspired by the
belief that, in view Of this govern
ment's having made this proposal, 1t
would DO in hearty accord with it, no
titled the United States that after this
month, while refrainlng from sinking
unarmed passenger vessels without
affording passengers and crew an OPP
portunity to escape, it would treat
every armed vessel, even IL armed only
for self defense. as q belligerent vessel
and sink it without warning. This
announcement was obviously pleasing
to Mr.. Wilson, who caused inspired
newspaper dispatches to be written
saying that tho administration cor
daily approved Germany's position.
On February Is, however, Senator
Sterling introduced a resolution pro-
testing against Germany's purpose
and calling attention to unequivocal
assertions of this administration, dated
September 26 and November z 19li,
that under fixed principles OF inter-
national law merchant ships were en-
titled to carry sufficient armament for
self-protectlon and did not, thereby,
forfeit anything OF the rights or char
acter OF MERCHANT ships, and to the
further declaration Of President VIII
son, Of May IS, 1915, that american
citizens we're within their undisputed
rights in taking their 1.-THE belliger-
ent's) ships and in travelling wherever
their legitimate business calls them
on the high seas"

Pnfs IT Clearly.

Judge Robinson couldn't have put
It more clearly or more forcibly than
he did in his speech in this city on
Monday evening. when he said: Il

publican party is going to make this
nomination, and nobody else. The
people are to decide this contest, and

RETURN OF GREAT DETECTIVE.
When Chris Columbus lowered sail
And landed from his smack.

A picture postcard back.

"EIave a seat, Mr.. Vlskits. Oh. not

thick-set man who had Just come in by

from a three days convention Of the
Retail Hack Drivers Association, and
my home was gone from its accustom-
ed place. There was nothing there
but dancing academy above a va

The great detective, seemingly
stumped for once, stroked his chin
with his violin. At last his face bright
ened.
"Are you in favor Of military pre-
paredness?" he asked.
Most emphatically mott" replied the
visitor angrily.
"Ah-hah!" calculated the great de-
tective. MY suspicion is verified. You
are not in your right mind"
And he yawned and rose to phone
for the bughouse wagon.

who is the personal manager of At
torney General Lilly's gubernatorial
boom, uses the columns OF the
Wheeling Register to inform an anX-
ious public that the only issue in the
gubernatorial fight is whether or not
Governor Hatfield can name the next
governor OF West Virginia, says the
wheeling Intelligencer. Mr.. Hughes
accompanies this momentous an
nouncement with a vicious personal
attack upon Governor Hatfield.
The lntelligencer regrets that the
managers OF General Lilly have seen
fit so early in the campaign to raise
personal issue, as it was to be hoped
that the campaign for a high Office,
such as The governorship Of West Vir-
ginia, could be conducted on a some
what higher plane.
So far as Judge Robinson is con-
cerned, thousands OF people In West
virginia know that he is no tempo
rary political accident AS teacher.
ms a lawyer and as public man he
made good and won the respect and
admiration of a large circle of friends
throughout northern West Virginia
long before either Henry d. Hatfield
or A. A. Lilly had begun to figure in
the public affairs OF the state at large.
He was big enough man to be a
formidable candidate for Congress
twelve years ago. He was big
enough man to be accorded the unan-
imous nomination OF Republican
state convention for the supreme
judgeshlp OF the state, after having
filled the position by the appointment
O. Governor Dawson. In the judgeship
he has been big enough to render
many decisions Of remarkable power
and originality, and stamping him as
a man strong enough to resist pub
lie clamor. political pressure and dis
urbing influence, under most trying
conditions,
The Intclligencer quotes one of the
most distinguished circuit judges OF
the state OF West Virginia in the
statement that:
"The opinion of Judge Robinson in
the martial law cases will cause him
to be remembered as one OF the
greatest, II not the greatest, Judge
that ever sat on the supreme bench
of the state of West Virginia"
To speak of such man as the can
didatc or tool OF any other man Is an
absurdity. However, should 1t become
necessary to compare the kind OF sup.
mort that Is being extended to Judge
Robinson with the kind Of support
that is being extended to General
Lilly, the friends of Judge Robinson
need not shrink from the comparison.
No great combination Of special in
terests Is backing Judge Robinsons
candidacy.
No men who have special favors to
expect from legislature are back
ing Judge Robinson's candidacy.
No organization that maintains
constantly a large and active lobby
in and about the legislature at
Charleston is backing Judge Robin
sons candidacy.
NO combination OF men VINO dellD'

Democratic Press Boosting Lilly.
Marked copies OF the Wheeling Reg
lister, the leading Democratic news
paper OF the state, are being sent out
from the Lilly headquarters to all the
Republican newspapers OF the state,
according to the Tyler County Star,
published at Middlebourne. The Star,
the leading Republican newspaper OF
Tyler county, resents such methods
from Republican candidate and its
editor, Harry Smith, member OF the
legislature from that county, says so
in words that admit Of no double in
terpretation.
The Star in its issue Of this week
has the following comment:
The Star is in receipt of marked
COPY of the Wheeling Register OF the
date of February 5, sent out from the
Charleston headquarters OF A. A. Lilly.
The marked article has the big head
line Bosses Confer on Machine Aid

licans Of the state. If General Lilly
