Now read again the sentence pro-
nounced upon the chairman of the War
Industries Board: "You will not always
have Mr.. Barney Baruch, of Wall Street,
deciding how much money you ought
to have"
The least of the implications Is that
Hearst would deliberately call up from
the depths of social discomfort and from
the sloughs OF ,!isaffection mob in which
to take refuge from the wrath Of his
own country.
The worst seems utterly incredible.
Abnormal motives to certain point are
protecting 1t took more than two
years for the French to believe the evil
dence Of their own senses. For example,
Lenlne, who afterward went and sold
Russia for few German marks was al
lowed for long time openly to conduct
a defeatist campaign in France. When
the scandal broke it reached from Bolo
Pacha, who has been shot, through NAL
wy Minister Of the Interior, who is on
trial, to M. Caiilaux, former Premier
who now lies in prison awaiting trial
for treason. Until Clemenceau, "the
tiger" attacked it, sinister disloyalty to
France, wearing many guises, was 30 in
trenched that few dared even to de-
nounce it. And none ever had been so
boastful of their patriotism and their
love of France as those who traflicked
in her betrayal.
We are not impatient. We know the
proverb. The grist is in the mill But
meanwhile we are a little curious. Does
the President know what everybody else
knows? We wonder
Does ne know that Arthur Brisbane,
in The Washington Times, is point
ing the mob to the chairman Of the War
Industries Board?
Does he know that Arthur Brisbane
parades himself in the reflected light of
the Administration?
Does he know that Joseph P. Tumulty
his secretary, writes notes on White
House stationery which Hearst distrib-
utes by the hundreds of thousands as an
official Endorsement Of his newspapers?
We should like to know 1t may be
historically important.

For many weeks reports have been
