A One Man Government

When he changed his mind on the
subject of a tariff commission, Presi-
dent Wilson said: II wish that it were
not necessary that it should fall to my
lot to choose the men who are to COM
pose it," Then. in a couple Of weeks he
changed his mind again and let 1t be
known that he would not consent to a
tariff commission law that provided for
selection Of the members by any one
except himself.
The plan proposed by those who de-.
sired a commission as nearly fair as
possible was that the commission should
consist of five members, one selected by
the President. one by the Democrats Of
the Senate, one by the Democrats Of
the House. one by the Republicans Of
the Senate and one by the Republicans
Of the House. That would give the
Democrats three Of the five members.
But Wilson considers himself the great
I AM of the United States and won't
permit any one but himself a voice
in selecting the commission. Perhaps
he will finally decide to be a commits
sion all by himself.

It is a real and not a manufactured
"crisis" which confronts us in the
Mexican matter; and there appears to
be no desire on the part of Congress to
hamper the President" This phrase
has been used a great deal Of late by
those who wish to criticise the exercise
of an undoubted Congressional func-
ton, i. e., to demand the facts upon
which an Executive is shaping a pol
icy. So far as Mexico is concerned, the
President is making no speeches; for
once he is taking action. Under these
conditions Congress is indulging in no
debate and is itself practicing watch
full waiting" The history of this coun-
try shows plainly that a President who
acts finds Congress entirely compla-
cent while O. President who only talks
finds Congress quite ready to join him
in the discussion.

Shifty Louie,

. The nomination Of Louis d. Brandeis
to the United States supreme bench
was unfortunate. It matters not what
his ability or legal acumen may be. the
fact remains that the possibility Of his
being a supreme court Judge has caus-
ed more heated discussion, more pro-
testation. than ever before in the his
tory Of the bench. Brandeis may be all
his partisans declare him to be, and
yet there will ever remain a respecta-
BILE minority who will lose respect for
the highest court in the land If Bran
deis is elevated thereto. The bar Of
public opinion will never be able to re-
move the cloud from his title. Wit
nesses have testified before the SUBJ
committee considering the question of
his fitness that Brandeis is "shifty."

man on the supreme court bench

The Milwaukee, Wis, Journal Is
boosting that the beet sugar industry
has not been ruined by the Democrat
ic tariff law. There are just two rea-
sons why it has not: First, the war
gave US protection and a larger mark
ct, and. second, the final repeal of the
sugar duty was not to become effective
until May, SO that, as a matter Of fact,
the sugar industry still has a large
measure of the protection given it by
Republicans. And the Democrats will
continue that protection.
