HIS FRIENDS PROTEST

~ AVID LAWRENCE, one of the
Washington newspaper corre-
spondents, said to be close TO
the President and who recently
wrote an appreciation of Colonel
House, has just given expression in
a dispatch to the New York Evening
Post to some rather surprising news
concerning the man in the White
House. He declares the President
must clean house: that he must re-
organize his cabinet, that he has
done many things recently to alien
ate his warmest supporters Unsel-
fish friends, this intelligent observer
of events says, are ''grieved and dis
appointed" and 1t is declared that
as he goes to Europe the President
will leave behind a detected and
depressed following whose enthusi-
asm for him will have been seriously
diminished"
Men who helped TO elect Mr.. Will
son in 1912 and in 1916 are severely
criticising his insistence upon the
peace conference trip to Europe and
it is strongly intimated that he has
lost touch with American sentiment
that he refuses to listen to those
who are best able 10 advise him in
this critical hour; that he is ignor-
ing great domestic questions in his
that he is too ex-
elusive; that his taking of George
Creel with him to Europe at the
same time Postmaster General
Burleson has grabbed the cables has
produced a most serious impression
on the public mind; that the Cabinet
is in rut, and that permitting Nc
Adoo to retire at this particular
juncture is the greatest mistake of
all.
There is also feeling at Wash
ington that the President has still
further grievously erred in refusing
to take into his confidence in for
eign affairs Republicans as well as
Democrats, and that, in short. the
President lis drifting away from the
original precepts of openness and
managing the government in a per-
sonal and private way, which does
not square with his professions of
democracy"
Boiled down, the story is one of
the loss OF prestige, the decadence
of morale among his friends and inn
minence of party revolt.

A BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL
From the New York Sunl

From the New York SUM
No more appropriate, beautiful or
sensible memorial to the men who
have fallen in the war could be de-
vised than the plantations of trees
which have been set out in some
towns, and which all communities
are urged to adopt as the enduring
symbols of their gratitude.
Some of the monuments raised to
soldiers in the United States are
splendid in conception and eXecu-
tion. Others are pitifully inappro-
pirate and would not be tolerated
for moment We're it not for the
sentiment they represent Most of
them are merely commonplace, fail
ing to do justice to the thought that
inspired them or to the martyrs
whose fame they are designed to per-
petuate.N
A grove of trees can never be any
thing but beautiful. No matter what
design is followed in planting them,
they will be dignified, interesting and
increasingly worthy of their purpose.
Their care would enlist the thoughts
of succeeding generations; the re-
placement of those which fell VIC
TINS to ,accident or disease might
well be the occasion of memorial
services at which the glories of the
men in whose honor they We're set
out could be recalled. The planta-
tions reserved for them would ma
turally become the scenes of pa
triotic gatherings at which tribute
would be paid in succeeding genera
tions to those who in the great war
gave their lives for their country.
This suggested scheme of memorial
decoration can be adapted to the
natural requirements of any town.
Nothing is nobler than a splendid
boulevard lined with trees.

For The People TO Decide

The recent seizure of the ocean
cables by Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson. while warranted as war
measure. was not effected until the
close of the war and has been
severely criticised on this account,
because it is well known that Mr..
Burleson. favors Government control
of all telegraphic communication as
part of the postal system.
However desirable such owner
ship might he in the interest of eff
cheney, it cannot become effective
by an official mandate of any sort.
Ii must be realized, ii at all, by
and with the express approval of the
citizens of this country, after full
and fair discussion OF ,its merits
and drawbacks
The resolution introduced in the
United States Senate last week by
Senator Lewis. declaring that 1t is
the expression of that body that
the policy of the United States Gov
ernment for the future should be
that of Government ownership of
railroads. telegraphs telephones and
national lines of communication, and
that it should possess and own all
national agencies for the production
of fuel" as well as own ships of
commerce, opens up very broad
subject.
1t is a prograne not TO be decided
by any authority short of the people.
and for this reason is likely to play
an important part in the next ma
tiOnal campaign, when a President
and Congress will be elected.

THE ISSUE OF 1920
(From the Phila. Bulletin)

The report given currency by the
Providence Journal that the under
lying reason of Secretary McAdoo's
withdrawal from the Cabinet and
his position as Federal Director of
Railroads, was his opposition to the
commitment of the administration
to the policy of government owner
ship of all public utilities, has some
circumstantial backing. whether true
in all particulars or not. The Cabinet
has not been entirely harmonious on
this question, save as a war policy.
and it has been rumored that one of
the reasons for the apparent shelV-
ing of Secretary Lane, who had ap-
pealed to the public as one of the
strongest OF the Presidents advisers,
was his opposition to the Burleson
idea of governmental expansion in
this direction. The division of the
Presidents party in the Senate and
the House has been even more no
table, and, even though the chief eX-
ponent of government ownership is
from the South, the party in that
section, solid for a half century, is
threatened with a split on the issue
should it be forced.
If this shall be the dominant issue
of the next national campaign in
1920, it is likely to bring about a re-
alignment of party forces the coun-
try over, and in its differentiation
between the conservative and radi-
cal elements in the electorate to
create new lines of division which
will entirely upset the customary
bases of political estimates.
Possibly Mr.. McAdoo's brief eX-
perience in the federal management
of railroads was sufficient to demon
strate to him the impossibility of
satisfying the continuing demands of
the railroad workers for increased
wages and at the same time meeting
the expectation of the public for re-
duced railroad rates when the gov
ernment substituted for the so-called
railroad "barons," and he was un-
willing to carry the burden of in
creasing responsibility for the dis
appointment which threatened.

For a century to come no German

surrender of his nations fleet with

whelming despair. This is the killing
affiiction that kultur has imposed

which Wilhelm tried to found an
empire provided its own end in utter
degration. 1t was not merely
