quently been the pleasure of this newspaper TO

OF the present occupant of the White House. it's

Whole-hearted national support than his Since
April 1917, criticism even of constructive
nature has been practically silent upon the theory

The Presidents remarkable appeal Yesterday
for the return of Democratic majorlties in both

state of affairs. He has now opened for ex-

maintaining an attitude toward Germany less

The curious presidential obsession with re-
spect to the personal pronoun is also most
strikngly revealed by his announcement of
yesterday. The thought which seems to lie lp-
permost in his mind is my" leadership my"

to him that the employment of the personal
is something to which the American Republic is
wholly unaccustomed. Americans believe that
the present war is no mere adventure of the
Democratic party and Woodrow Wilson, its
head, but an adventure to which all Americans
regardless of political creed, are committed
And, as the United States and not Mr.. Wilson
is waging this war, so the United States and not
Mr.. Wilson, will make any peace that is to be
made. The country will properly resent as we
think it should, the suggestion that it is either
necessary or advisable to hand itself over either
to one individual or one political party for the
settlement of such mighty matters OF war and
peace as now engage universal attention.
