Denial of Information.
New York SUM


He Is bidding farewell, among
other things, TO even the slenderest
pretense that either the people of the
United states, OF whom he again says
he is the servant, or the Senator'S of
the United States, his constitutional
partners IN treaty making. are enti-
tied to the least enlightenment con
corning his real reasons for going
abroad or his purpose while abroad as
the bearer of the Wilson fourteen.
Any expectation that he might, at the
last moment. take the people and the
Senate into his confidence has been
rudcly shattered when the concluding
paragraph Of his address has been
read lie plays with fair words that
carry no meaning. The denial of in
formation to the nation is absolute I;
the servant goes out slamming the
door in the face of the acknowledged
master. standing in dumb surprise
and awaiting an explanation of the
errand. The refusal of information
TO the Senate, his senior partner in
the treaty business in which he is en-
gagged, is so marked in the cynicism
of the ignoring as to some nigh to the
edge Of insult.

THE CLERGYMAN'S PARROT.

An old lady of Indifferent health
who had a pet parrot told her servant
she had left her one pound week so
long as Polly lived. One day, the
servant who was longing to receive
the promised pension. ii is feared,
said. in an impatient voice, " if the
old lady would only die!" A short
time after the mistress came in. Polly
cried out, "if the old lady would only
die" Terribly upset and thinking
her end was near, she sent for the
parson, n near neighbor. Hearing
her tale. and seeing the depression
caused by Polly's speech, the parson
said, Oh, that's nothing, parrots say
all sorts of foolish things. the bird
is perhaps duh and wants a com
panion, will send my bird over; he
is full of spirits" In a short time
the parsons parrot was brought over.
When the cover was taken off its
cage, the old lady's bird at once re-
peated his new phrase, "Oh, if the
old lady would only die" Hardly
had il uttered those words before the
parsons parrot responded in the voice
of his master we beseech thee to
hear us. good Lord. In Il letter

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
Somewhat Perfunctory.
New York World.D

Aside from the few words de-
voted by Mr.. Wilson to his diplomatic
errand his address was almost as
perfunctory as one of the old-time
written messages of the Presidents.
Ne could have said no less of the tri-
,imph of our arms at. the crisis of the
war, or of the devotion of the people.
or of the necessity for wise measures
of reconstruction, or of the impor-
lance of placing our vast industries
upon a peace basis with proper recog-
nAion of public rights. He might
have said less in regard to the woman
suffrage by national amendment and
II he had not been intent upon going
abroad upon an errand which few
Americans understand, he might have
said a great deal more on the sub
ject of the railroad and shipping
problems for which we are sorry to
say he had no solution to offer.
