Tue President s Wnket

Of course President Wilson wants to go to Europe, and be hailed as hero by the people of the allied nations There's as much human nature in the president as there is in another man. And of course a great many people do not want him to go, for they have as much human nature in them as the rest of us have. And of course, Mrs Wilson wants the president to go, as most women naturally would And of course the allied peoples will feast and idolize and do everything humanly pos sible to turn the head of the man who is at the head of that great western nation whose might and resources turned the scales of the great war.
 But the question is, is 1t right for the president to leave this nation and cross seas while holding office2 Is it absolutely neces- sary for him to go? The temptation to go, any honest minded man will admit, is very great But nevertheless there is no man more closely bound by duty than is the head of nation. Duty has been preached and practiced in this country for the past year and a half to an extent not known since the days of Valley Forge. Hence the presi- dents ear should be as closely attuned to duty s call as any ear in the nation.
 As usual, the lines on this junket so far drawn publicly, are political lines. The re- publicans say nay and the democrats say yea to the plan. But there is this differ ence. The yeas are emphatic and indig- nant and ring like bell While the nays are merely formal and mechanical and ring like party slogan. Wilson's junket will be a glorious epic for Wilson and con- sume lots of newspaper and cable and tele- graph space and excite a great furore abroad and result in the spilling of lot of words and the consumption of lot of choice foods and the burning of lot of red fire. BUT it may also we'll mean the death knell of the democratic party for quite some spell.
 An, there's the rub.
 And no one knows it better than the democratic politicians who mechanically aye" And no one will take keener or more resolute and relentless advantage of it than the republican politicians.
 A great voyage it will be for the Wilson personality and fatal voyage for the demo- cratic party.
 Aside from its effect upon the political affairs of this nation, its effects for good or i'll upon the troubled and tremendous af- fairs of Europe cannot be estimated at this time It may increase or 1t may well re- duce friction between the allies. Who can say The danger lies in the great ovations the allied peoples will give to the head of this nation. Will Wilson take these trib- utes to himself or for his people as whole? If the former, he may well attempt autoc- racy in the councils of democracy. If the
