1t is well that President Wilson de-
tends his attitude toward the wage-in-
crease legislation. The great mass of
the people might be mised If he tried
to change his mind just before cleo
ton. 1t is far better that we have as
surance that he chose his course de-
liberately and that he will follow the
same policy any time and every time
one or more unions threaten to tie up
the transportation systems of the
country unless their demands are
granted within a specified number of
hours. Everybody now knows the
kind of stuff Wilson has in him and
those who want President who
yields to dictation at home and bluff
abroad can vote for him.
