An Unequlvocal Endorsement


President Wilson's orders to his
Huhordinates in Congress were ia
bring out of committee resolution
warning Americans off tho armed
merchantmen of belligerents and tt
vote 1t down. This was impossible
In the Senate. 1t may prove SO In
the House. The best the Senate
could do was to vote TO lay the Gore
resolution on the table. This is not
of course, declaration that the Gore
resolution is wrong, but rather that
the Senate does not regard 1t as wise
to pass 1t at this time.
Senator Gore put one over on his
Democratic colleagues by presenting
substitute declaring that the sink
ing by German submarine of such
armed ship. resulting in the death OF
an American. would be sufficient
cause of war with Germany. This was
the resolution which the Senate I'M
Willingly voted to lay on the table
along with the McCumber substitute
warning Americans, etc. This was
however, largely technical victory
for Mr.. Gore. as majority of tht
Senate undoubtedly did vote to sus'
tain the proposition that the Sen,
ate should neither debate nor vote
on the question at this time.
Just what form the action of the
House will take Is still problcmatical
but there is little prospect that tht
president will obtain the unlimited
qualification and uneQuivocal sort o.
endorsement which he demands.

Stand Inv WILSON.

In decidedly equivocal manner the
Senate has stood by President Wilson
in his demand that he be sustained in
his negotiations with Germany, and
the prospects are that the House will
do the same.
Thee views Of many senators and a
growing number OF representatives Is
that, despite their indignation at the
president for forcing this situation,
and irrespective Of the extent to which
they believe he has bungled the foreign
relations of the United States. patriot
ism demands that they withhold their
criticism and stand by the executive in
his dealings with foreign power, and
especially with one which has shown
disposition to disregard the rights OF
Americans. In private conversation,
Democrats and Republicans are al
most equally severe in their condem-
nation of the presidents course. The
Democrats are. perhaps. more bitter
than the Republicans because on them,
as the majority, falls the responsible
fly Of voting for President Wilson's
policy. policy which comparatively
few of them believe to be correct, and
which most Of them expect their con-
Ehtuents to condemn. 1t is the Demo-
cratic leaders in Congress who have
been most conspicuously ignored. They
tits who have gone to the White House
singly and in groups in an effort to
ascertain Mr.. Wilson's purpnse-only
TO be told, in effect. that it is not their
business to inquire or to think. but
merely to go back to the capital and
carry out the orders OF tho executive
"Traitor 10 his party" and "betrayer
nt his friends" are among the mildest
terms which are being applied to Mr.
Wilson by his party colleagues. Little
more than a week ago his orders con-
sisted OF a peremptory demand that al
debate Of foreign relations be prevent.
ed in'both Houses. and that all resolu'
lions bearing on the German sub
marine situation he buried In commit
tee. No sooner. however. had these
orders been carried out than Mr.. VIII

State Press Comment
Will Die Hard,

sumably bringing happiness and sue

ready to print stuff goes to the waste
basket with great promptness, for even
the personal liberty advocates have
sense enough to konw that the public
is no longer the gullible repent of the
arguments that once were accepted as
truth ard wisdom. And as newspapers
refuse to print the stuff, except such
newspapers as are in the employ of
liquor interests. the brewers and the
distiiiers ard the liquor distributors
are becoming fearfully alarmed. They
erantcally argue that prohibition has
increased the amount of Liquor used
in the country and frantically argue in
the same breath against the passage

situation, for somehow there can be
