system definite and inelastic quantity?
We believe the world will be made
safe for democracy; but when we see a
band of Creel propagandists setting sail
for Europe to act upon the mind of the
world, when we see ali the means OF
communication, cable, telegraph, tele-
phone and wireless, in the governments
control, and the volume of official traf
tic tending steadily to increase-we al
most despair Of ever being restored to
world in which news and criticism shall
be free entirely.
The restraints arc of many kinds For
example, Mr. Wilson's presence in Eu~
rope will be serious restraint upon
criticism in the United States, he will
lay down the fourteen points in France.
He will, in general, develop, his ideas
of what an international democracy
should be like He may go further
than we should like him to go. He may
go further than his countrymen would
be willing to follow,
But often, perhaps, we should not
know until long afterward just how far
he had gone, and in case we did know
in time we should be in an awkward di-
lemma. Could we afford to criticise the
President abroad? Could we with dig
nifty repudiate his principles, or any un~
expected development of them? Would
we not embarrass and humiliate our
selves in so doing? And in given case,
provided we had made up our minds to
do disagreeable thing could we reach
him in time, with the cables overtaxed
with Federal traffic and under the close
control of Mr. Burleson? Criticism of
Mr.. Wilson's conduct abroad, even more
than criticism Of his conduct at home,
would be thought disloyal and partisan
by all good Democrats.
However, this republican country is
in the hands of the Democratic party.
If Mr.. Wilson will go to meet the noun
tain there is nothing that can be done
about it. Everybody, Republicans in
cluded, thought the mountain was on its
way to meet him.

Americans can he profoundly thank
full that no such casualty list as Brltaln's
has been their lot in the war. But they
must as well be profoundly humble. The
toll that Britain paid in fighting our war
for almost four years before We took
up our full burden in it. The even greater
toll that France paid, makes our con-
tribution to the cause of civilization
seem small indeed.
British dead number 65S,000. The
French list has never been published, but
the smallest estimate is over 100000
Our reported dead, from all causes, are
but Is 800, and can hardly reach total
of 10000. 1taly's dead are far more,
So are Serbias and Rumanias. Even
tiny Bclgium's casualty list must sur
pass ours.
There can be no regret or SELF blame
for the fashion in which Americans have.

cepted its responsibilities. There can
be regret that these responsibilities
We're so long unrealized. There must
also be in every fair-minded American
hesitation to offer cock-sure opinions to
the Allies touching the solution of the
wars problems. Are we entitled to rush
in with advice and urgent demands in a
dispute which for two years and a half,
while Britons and Frenchmen were dying
by the hundred thousand our govern
mental head assured us was no concern
of ours? Did our leaders show such
vision and wisdom in analyzing the causes
of the war and determining it's issue as
to warrant our speaking with confidence
in the settlement of it's problems?
Is it ours to set ourselves up as seers
and prophets? Or should we rather be
helpful aids to those who bore the
burden?

Tired Of "Cuckooism"

The Republican Senators have voted
unanimously for a return to normal
American methods Of government 1t is
wise move. The day Of one-sided t,x-
ecutive control is over That dislocation
Of balances was an unavoidable incident
of war. 1t is an undesirable survival in
time of peace.
Since April, 1917, Congress has abdi-
Gated many Of its constitutional privi-
leges and functions. 1t did so from
motives Of patriotism. 1t gave the Pres
ident the extraordinary powers which
he demanded. 1t accepted his dictaton
in matters of legislation for the simple
reason that opposition to the Adminis-
tration's programme, however honest and
well-intentioned, could easily be con-
fused in the public mind with opposition
to it tinged by pacifst obstruction
1t is easy to sneer at Congress for
having yielded meekly to Executive en-
croachnent. The sneer is unjust Con-
gress made war sacrifice And that
sacrifice. cannot act now as a bar to the
reassertion by Congress of it's status as
an equal, coordinate branch of the gov
crnment, supreme in the field of legisa-
ton.
The Constitution prescribes that Con-
gress shall make the laws and that the
President shall execute them, Mr.. Will
sons practice for several years past has
been to draft the laws, send them to
Congress for unquestioning approval
and then execute them. 1t was for
showing some restiveness under this
procedure that the President recently
denounced the Republican leaders in the
House and Senate as "anti- -Administra-
ton" and asked the country to return
an Administration majority in both
branches of Congress.
The country disregarded that appeal
1t doesn't want to see the present one
man system of government continued at
Washington. The people want Con-
gress to do the work which the Consti-
tuition allotted to it. That work can be
done only if the two houses stand cour-
ageously on their rights and resume
their old attitude of independence.
and after the Civil War On the con-
trary, its authority and prestige never
mounted so high as in the period of re-
construction. Congress shackled An
drew Johnson. And its heyday of power
lasted through many succeeding Admins
trations.
Thaddeus Stevens, Ben Wade, Charles
Sumner and Oliver p Morton would
hang their heads in shame to belong to
"cuckoo" Congresses such as have been
sitting in Washington for the last six
! years. SO would the great leaders Of
the period from Grant to Cleveland.
Congress has sunk low in the popular
estimation because it has lost it's old
sturdiness and self-respect. 1t has put
its conscience and its sense of RESPONSE
bility too much into the keeping Of the
President. Thus the structure Of gov
ernment ut Washington has become lop-
sided.
Now is the time to get back to the
normal constitutional balance. The Re-
publicans in the Senate have faced a
big problem courageously II they stick
to their resolve, we may see the next
Congress regain in large measure its
! rights and dignity as coordinate

The Mistake of I848

The fate Of Hungary is sealed. The ter-
ritories inhabited by the non Magyar races
will be joined to the free states emerging
from the ruins Of the Hapsburg realm. Is
there any reasonable hope that the Magyar
leaders Of 1913 will avoid the fatal mistake
CT 184S and attempt to establish Magyar
freedom not at the expense of the other
nationnlities Of Hungary, but with their CO.
operation?
The ilmeat foundation, perhaps, of such
hope lies in the fact that what the Mag
var masses want above all is peace-peace
at any price. They have learned by now
the terms Of the armistice put the finish
ing touch to their educaton--what price
the Allies expect them to pay and the AL
lied troops which will probably be dis
patched to occupy strategic points in Hun
gary will sec to it that the Magyars shall
not forget the lesson. 1t is significant. by
the way. that Count Karolyi vas reported
to asks for the sending of English and
French troops should an occupation be de-
clded upon. There is no hatred against
France and England in Hungary--in fact
there is n good chance that English or
French troops will be cheered by tho
Budapest crowds which for the last four
years had to put up with the presence of
their beloved Prussian friends"
