"Not ArbitrabIe"

IT do not regard the question Of the
principle Of the eight-hour day as ar
bitrable," declared Mr.. Wilson in his
last speech at Shadow Lawn. in which
he made pretense Of defending his
course regarding the railway wage-in-
crease bill. The Erdman Act, formally
enacted by Congress, treats the eight
hour day as arbitrable. In fact, 1t es-
pecially enjoins on the board Of media
ton and Cancellation which it creates
the duty Of. first, offering its own SER
vices as a mediator and, second, fail
ing to effect a settlement in the role of
mediator to do all in It's power to bring
about arbitration Of any controversy
which may arise between common car
rters and their employees.
Every President prior to Mr.. Wilson
has regarded a formal enactment Of
Congress as establishing the principle
embodied therein, subject only to the
verdict of the Supreme Court that such
statute violated the Constitution. But
with Mr.. Wilson has come the new dis
pensation, the rule that the personal
opinion of the President il supreme
and that before it no law enacted by
Congress is Of value.

Wilson, Free Trader

President Wilson's free trade declar-
alton IN his speech to the National
Grain Dealers convention at Balti-
more. has occasioned serious alarm
among his political managers. Mr..
Wilson said. Il want to see America
pitted against the world, not in selfish
ness but in brains" Expressed in
plain English, instead of in that para
bolic phraseology in which Mr.. Wilson
delights, this means that the American
policy Of protection must be abandoned
as selfish and that American brains
and American labor must be "pitted
against the world"
Woodrow Wilson and his party are,
of course, essentially free traders, but
strict injunctions have gone forth from
the Democratic headquarters to the
Democratic speakers to soft pedal on
the free trade stuff" as it is not popu.
lar with the American voters. In 1912,
100000 more votes were cast for
Roosevelt and Taft, both of whom ran
on frankly protective tariff platforms,
than for Woodrow Wilson, hence the
instructions Of the Democratic manag-
ers. instructions which the Democratic
Presidential candidate has been the
first to violate

II Is to Laugh

Nothing has recently occasioned
greater amusement in New York than
President Wilson's declaration, apropos
of the Latin-American republics, that,
For the first time in my recollection
they are beginning to trust and believe
in US and want us, and one of my chief
concerns has been to see that nothing
was done that did not show friend
ship and good faith on our part"
In the light Of his own invasion Of
Vera Cruz, his unreasoning decree that
"Huerta must co., his employment of
force in San Domingo and Hayti, even
compelling the latter country by force
of arms to change Its constitution to
suit his views. and his present menac-
ing attitude towards Nicaragua. Mr..
Wilson's declaration strikes those New
Workers who are in close touch with
Latin.America and the views OF the
people there as ludicrous In the ex-
treme The view entertained-it IS

The Mystery of Wilson

Oswald Garrison Willard Of the New
York Evening Post, has contributed
valuable paper to the political history
of the Wilson administration. by writ
ing on THE Mystery of Woodrow Will
son" for the North American Review.
Willard was once an ardent adnirer of
Wilson.
The great mystery is the change that
came over Wilson when he became
President. From a man who took coun-
sci with his co-workers, he became the
most inaccessible and secluded Pres
ident who has ever occupied the White
House. Even prominent diplomats re-
turning from their posts abroad and
ready with information that ought to
be of use to the head of the nation,
found that their advice and facts We're
not wanted. Cabinet meetings were
discontinued until public criticism
caused resumption Meetings with
representatives of the press We're
abandoned and secrecy became the
chief characteristic of the administra-
ton. Public men from over the coun-
try, whether members of his own jarty
or Republicans. We're not invited or
welcomed to the White House. Where
other presidents had taken almost
daily opportunity to confer with men
of affairs by entertaining them at
luncheon, Wilson maintained the ut
most privacy.
This became one-man government
and Democracy became a one-man
party. 1t was assumed that all wis
dom and integrity and patriotism were
confined to one mans personality and
the rest of the world was kept from
contact with him. No wonder the Will
son administration has been such
dismal failure.
To Col. George Harvey. who dis
covered" Wilson to be the long needed
Democratic Moses, it is no mystery.

That Mr. Wilson is still pretty IA

designation Of the railway wage in

is an axiom Of lawyers that the lawyer
