THE PRESIDENTS DECISION

As was expected President Wilson has not hesitated q precedent in de- eidirg to leave the country and par- tieipate in the preliminary discussions of the peace conference in Europe and possibly attending some of the ses- siohs. This is in keeping with the attitude which he has taken relative 70 other practices of the chief execu tive. The plan to go 10 France while not forbidden hy tho constitution is in siYect opposition to any course which lis predecessors in office have felt at liberty 70 follow. and as has been shown. it is contrary to opinion as widely expressed throughout the coun- try.
 That the peace conference will be q matter of much importance cannot be denied, but there have been some i'm pertant matters to be decided up to this time leading up to the ending of the war and the conference which have not required the presence of Fresident Wilson in Europe or for that matter the heads Of European na- lions in the United States. Tn fact 1t Is not likely that the rulers of the European nations will be in attend . anoe at the coming peace conference
 whether or not there are reasons for his going which have not been disclosed to the people of this eoun try will be made known in time. He is of course in touch with the situa- ton and should know but it is only natural that it should be felt that the one who has been selected as the head of this nation should remain in the county and direct it's affairs. His decision to go to Europe may be based on the fact that it is an extra ordinary occasion, but the fact that ii iS no ordinary situation which prevails right here and will continue for a Iona time ought not to be overlooked.

A BLOT ON ANY STATE.

Once more the lvnchinS fever has broken out in the south. This time it is in North Carolina, which is sup posed to have greater respect for the upholding of law and order than some of the southern states. and where the resistance offered to the mob indi- cates that there is disposition to see that the law of the commonwealth is allowed to take it's course in the pun :shment of those who are guilty of crimes.
 How great a toll some of the peo- pie of that state are ready to. exact is evidenced by the fact that several were killed and q score or moro wounded in the determined effort which was made to carry out mob rule.
 From the fact that the Negro, whose life was sought. but who was l1ep. from the mob, is charged with hav- ing killed a man. afterward attacking his wife and later wounding the sheriff there appears to be every reason why he should be made to pay the full pen alty of the law for his acts, but there is nothing to indicate that such a course would not be carried out by the authorities. It is but natural that 6 community should be ineensed at such cPiminality but that dces not justify it's people in taking affairs in to their own hands The state has laws with which to deal with such matters and they need to be respect ed. This could be shown in no bet ter manner than by the action of the mob in shooting one Negro prisoner only to find out that he was the wrong man. That shows the injustice which is involved in lynch law. It should lave no place in any civilized com munity. The crime which aroused the reople called for the taking of nc more than one life at the most. Only enc was alleged to have been guilty of it and yet several have beer killed and wounded It certainly is a wrong method of dealing out justice and se- Eously injures any state that tolerstes if

NORWICH DISTRICTS RESPONSE.

The Norwich district has certainly made a magnificent showing in the united war work campaign. It set out with the determination to meet every obligation and the success which las been obtained simply shows what excellent cooperation has been given.
 At the start Norwich was asked to give ss9 900. That was it's quota for the raising of the 70500, ,000 throughout the country. When the 50 rer cent addition was called for it was boosted to sg0 900. This did no; discourage the local campaign com nittee for, knowing the worthiness of the cause and the need for carrying on he important work that had been started, they were prepared to meet the levy and displayed an ambitious spirit by voluntarily adding another iio.n0O.
 With s100. coo as tho goal placed be- fore the district the workers buckled to their task with will with the re- suit that a most gratifying response was made on the part of the people who, even as the campaign workers, realized the importance of tM cause for which they were asked to give. The very fact that the opportunity was of- fsFed them 10 open their pocketbook for the benefit of the boys over there seemed 10 Alspire them to greater ef- fert. Such was as it should be and none will be prouder of the accom- rlishment than those who went out from this section to the war
 Much credit is due to the recogni- ton on the part of the people that they should meet the call which they have done by pushing the amount far over the voluntarily fixed quota, but it is not possible to overlook the dili- gent and praiseworthy work which has been done by the campaign com mittee. the team captains and the busy solicitors. They displayed such admirable team work that nothing but success could be expected.

seuELcH THE TRoURLEMAkERs.

There certainly is just as much need for 100 per cent. Amerieanism right kere at home. now and in the days to come, as there was during the time when the country was exerting every effort to produce war supplies and get it's armies across the Atlantic to Eu- rope.
 There were many problems to be faced while we were plunging into the great world war with all our ability, but it must be perfectly evil dent that there are likewise serious problems to be solved during the days of readjustment And they must be handled in a manner which will work to the benefit of everyone involved. There must be regard for safety dangerous and this has apparently heen given due consideration by the labor conference which has gone on record as denouncing boIshevism and all forms of the I. W. W.
 What such extreme radicals have done in Russia is well known. The effects of a certain element in Ger many are becoming manifest and it is well known what menace was ere ated in this country previous to and during the early days of the war by the l. W. W. That they will do theiI utmost to seize upon the existing con- ditions as an opportunity for them tC capitalize their ideas and increast their menace can be expected if they are given the least bit of encourage ment But the situation is such that il should be made plain that there is nC place in this country for the bolshe wiki, the I.

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

Much has been said for the past Your years, to say nothing of what went before, regarding the importance of bringing North and South America much closer together along trade lines. Although they are continents on which large developments are un- deWAy, there does not appear to have been the proper efforts put forth whie,, weuid result in greater good to each OehAg.
 The war made it necessary fos Ssuth America to look to this eoun- try for much of the materia; which il had formerly been getting from Eu- rope. Tn this way greater recog- milton has sprung up of the wisdom of establishing better facilities fo, trade between South American coun. tries and the United States. This oountry has always been interested in their welfare but strange to say too little attention has been paid tc Retans together. There has been toe much willingness to AzAow aftatra tl

go along as they were because of the effort which would be involved in bringing about the change. South America has even claimed that it was able to set it's wants filled in Euro eeau countries better than it could here because those countries were anxious to furnish what it wanted and did not insist upon giving it what 1t didn't want.
 With the ending of the war it is but rroper that increased attention should be directed to the building up of . bigger peace time trade with the coun- tries to the south. Europe will be anxious to reestahlish its markets there and it is certainly time, while banking facilities have been improved and we are committed to a much greater merchant marine, to see that our interests in South America are not neglected. It is 8 fertile field for foreign trade which needs to be in- tensively cultivated.

 Paid One Visit To Seattle Split-the-Wind paid one visit to Seattle, but he found the city "too much war enough" He had never seen a tree larger than an Arctic willow in his life until the ship on which he was travelling entered the Strait It was early morning, and Split-the-Wind rushed to the room If Mike Sawin, another musher, who later was killed with the Montene-

 Split" was very friendly with a member of The Times staff and for several days was at the office first thing in the morning and last thing at night, to ride up and down in the elevator. When the elevator oper- ltor stopped him, he acquired the habit of going into every building in Second Avenue and asking to be ta ken to the top floor. Elevator joy riding was his favorite amusement.
