KANSAS CITY JOURNAL
STANDS BY PRESIDENT

The Journal was one of the coun-
try's newspapers that approved the
proposal to permit, Colonel Roosevelt
to take force of volunteers to the
front in France and do some fighting.
The Journal was not an ardent cham
pion of the idea, but felt that in
asmuch as he was anxious to go and
a large number of his admirers were
anxious to accompany him and fight
under him, there was no particularly
good reason in sight why the pa
triotic impulse should be thwarted-
especially as political prejudice
seemed to be partly responsible for
the opposition to it. The Journal,
however is not a military expert and
never pretended to be. President
Wilson in his statement explaining
why the desired permission could not
be given, Mr. Wilson says he
consulted experts both of this coun-
try and of Europe and they advised
against the scheme. The president
points out some of the reasons upon
which his refusal is based, and they
seem logical and sound-one of them
being that the officers whom the
Colonel had named as men he wanted
to accompany him included many
who could not be spared from the
work of training the new army of
soldiers which is to be raised and
prepared for action.
at would be very agreeable to
me-" says the president, Ito pay Mr..
Roosevelt this compliment and the
allies the compliment of sending to
their aid one of our most distin-
guished public men, an ex-president,
who has rendered many conspicuous
public services and proved his gal
lantry in many striking ways" There
is nothing lame or half-hearted about
this tribute to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is
doubtless sincere, for there was no
obligation upon the president to pay
any compliment in his statement.
"The responsibility for the successful
conduct Of our part in this great
war rests on me-" he truthfully says,
and adds: ~ am too much inter-
ested in the cause we are fighting for
to be interested in anything but sue
cess. The issues involved are too
immense for me to take into consid-
Grafton anything whatever except the
best, most effective, most immediate
means Of military action. What
these means are I know from the
mouths Of men who have seen war
as it is now conducted, who have no
illusions, and to whom the whole grim
matter is matter Of business.
shall center my attention upon those
means and let everything else wait"
Whether Mr.. Wilson's conclusions
are right or wrong, they are the con-
illusions of the man upon whom, as
he says, the responsibility for Amer
ica's part in this war chiefly rests,
and 1t is right and his duty to reject
the offers and suggestions Of any
man or men that he believes will not
be for the best interests Of the cause
he is serving. Deeply disappointed
though Colonel Roosevelt and his
many fervent admirers are in the
presidents decision. there is nothing
for them to do as citizens and pa
triots but to accept it and make the
best Of H.. Kansas City journal.
