President Is His
Own Premier

The popularity of the American Con-
stitution lies in the fact that the head
of the state is his own prime minister
He sits in the Cabinet Sometimes, it
may be, he sits upon it. He is, in prac-
tice, as abso !utely master over his min
isters' appointments as the Emperor
William IS himself over German min
iaters
OF course. President may be-~so
am told-impe Technically, Con-
gress may legislate against has con-
ttiinued existence shut up The White
House-pull down the curtains of the
State departments. But-assuming that
government is to go on, that the ma
chine is not to be roughly pulled to
pieces-the President, during his tern,
of office, wields power, if he wishes
to WELD it. far in excess Of the power
usually welded by prime ministers
elsewhere. And this power exposes him
almost inevitably to discussion, in
which he sometimes plays a very ami
mated and impressive part.
In theory Great Britain is governed
by her High Court of Parliament. In
theory the United States of America is
governed by Congress and subordinate
legislatures. But what does this theory
mean IN practice? Neither Parliament
nor Congress nor legislatures can die
tate dispatches to typists, answer calls
on the telephone and grant interviews
% people, with or without business,
who send up their cards.
Parliamentary control in all coun-
tries means, in actual fact, not doing
the job in Parliament, but choosing
people to do the job outside Parlia-
ment Parliamentary control consists,
broadly, in the right to lay down rules,
and secondly. in the right to nominate
and dismiss those who are to obey the
rules. Your Interpretation of both
these rights differs widely from ours
Parliament Led
BY Ministers
In laying down rules that is. in leg

lhough this was not the custom for
merry, all our important bills are to-

Parliamentary
Control Is Trend

In other words, the movement here
seems to be in the direction Of Parlia
mentary control at time when. in
britain, Parliamentary control is said
30 be weakening. 1t was not our
Parliament that dismissed Mr. Asduith
from the Premiership. Parliament has
never condemned his administration,
and at this moment, if he wished it,
Parliament would recall him to power.
1t was disscnson within the Cabinet
that brought down the Liberal admin
istraton and let in an ever increasing
Conservative element.
So far as I am able to judge from
your press, there is no similar dissen-
sion within President Wilson's Cabi-
that point may be reported as between
Mr.. McAdoo and DR.. Garfield. That
merely shows that you conduct your
discussions rather more publicly than
we do in London. Your newspapers
are rather formidable in their imagi-
native enterprise. But the pressure on
your Cabinet seems to be from with
out. not from within. 1t is strictly
parliamentary pressure.
lhe solution proposed runs curiously
parallel with the plan finally laid be-
tore Mr.. Asquith by Mr.. Lloyd George
before they parted company. Mr..
Lloyd George demanded that Mr..
Asquith should continue to be Prime
Minister and should carry on oil the
civil duties of that onerous office, in
Guiding attendance at the House of
commons, appointment of bishops and
ordinary legislation. The old Cab-
net would continue. with Mr.. Asouith
as chairman. to discuss and debate
such measures as hitherto, but would
be relieved of the conduct of the war.
That situation seems to reproduce the
position of Mr. Wilson and his Cabi
net as it might be arranged if SEN
ator Chamberlain's bill became law.
An important difference would be, of
course, that the Presto dent would not
attend Congress, whereas Mr.. Asquith
would have attended Parliament.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-24
By P. w. Wilson
Of The London DAILY Neacs


THE relations between President
Wilson and Congress offer GER
tain fascinating problems for
ANALYSIS by those of us who study
constitutional politics. From the days
Of Sparta and Athens to this present
critical hour it has always been con-
tended that democracy. and especial
IL an alliance of mixed democracies,
cannot wage successful war against an
organized and central dcspotism.
When Franco raised Napoleon to
dictatorship. she frankly gave up the
attempt, and for the last three years
Britain has been cndeavoring, with
more or less success, to secure prompti-
tude and efficiency without sacrificing
her parliamentary institutions. With
This end in view she has postponed an
overdue general election until July,
and if the war is still being waged at
that date a dissolution may be put off
TO still later period
But this ahdication by the people of
rulers has been accompanied by n dras-
tic extension CT the suffrage, which
means that the election, when it does
come At last. Will be more democratic
than ever before. Thus, an apparent
sacrifice Of freedom broadening slow
" down from precedent to precedent"
only foreshadows leap forward into
a larger liberty ~hen the strain of this
long agony is released.
While Parliament has been kept in
beng. we have thought as you think,
that the control of war must be CEN
tralized in one, or, at most, very few
men. This was the real significance Of
Lord Kitchener's appointment when
war broke out.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-24
Wanted 4 Pilot
Chosen by People


Your President is, by virtue of his
Office, commander in chief of your
armies and navies. With profound
ssgacity your builders of the Republic
realized that, with your country in
peril the pilot at the helm must be a
man, chosen and approved by the uni
versal vote of the people.
The reason why in England we
talked of kitchener's army instead of
the Kings army was that Kitchener
had been put where he sat at the War
Office by the acclamation cf the whole
country He made mistakes. That is
now fully admitted. But he also rem
dered great services. And not the
least Of those services was the simple
fact that Kitchener's personality at
tracted and focused and retained the
national confidence.
Amid the discussions which fill your
spapers--never more interesting
than -day-nothing is more sgnii
cant to an outsider than the respect
paid to The elected head of the com.
rnonwealth because he is elected. 1t is
the divine right of kings translated into
modern and democratic terms.
But there remains the question now a
great Republic is to associate this rev.
erence for the President with rapid and
vigorous organization for war. Ir
Great Britain, Germany, France and
Italy the head Of the state is ore man
and the chief minister of the Cabinet
whatever he be called) is another.
The result is that if things go wrong

Walter Scott Barlow was one
Of the most promising young
young teachers in Berea Col
lege. He made friends rapidly
from the very day he came in the
fall OF 1917. His influence among
the men OF the Normal School was
especially good. His scholarship
was Of the best he having received
his masters degree from the George
Peabody College for teachers, in the
spring before he came to Bcrea. His
Christian life and influence added
to this made him an ideal man for
Berea.
But the cause Of democracy called
him. He volunteered in May and
ehtered the navy as a musician.
Stationed at Great Lakes Training
Camp. he played in the band and
made several trips TO various cities
to help in promoting patriotism
among the people. He was stricken
with influenza. He was in the hos
pital for three weeks. and died Oc-
tober 10th. He was denied the thrill
ing experiences Of the battlefield.
He didn't get TO serve on the fields
Of France, nor even 10 chase tn
submarine. But he gave his life,
as many another OF our boys have
done. for humanity and democracy
and justice-and Berea honors him.
