RESPONSIBILITY is WITH C. o. P.

EPUBIICANS wanted office and sough
II power, but apparently they are unwilling t'
accept and discharge responsibilities Thl
sact is abundantly manifest to all who read the
pleas and plants that have come from repub-

lent's latest message AS minority in the last
congress, these same republicans were persist
snt-but not always consstent-crtlcs OF Pres
dent Wilson's failure to recommend tasks and
courses of legislation. As majority in the
present congress they begin their careers as
critics of his proposals for the very enactments
hey previously demanded.
These leaders of a ma jority that has taken
control of congress expect the president to re
;ain the initiative and accountability for all that
s done by way Of passing new or recalling old
avs. They seek to continue their role of critics
,f his performances instead of being themselves
performers. They have walled for six years
hat the president has usurped and exercised
autocratic authority in the Legislative as well
as the executive branch of the government.
They have called on the people to end his sway
by electing them. Yet, at the moment when
power is in their keeping, they decry the presi
dent for exacting of them the duties that go
with their dominance.
1t was charged that the president had failed

It was lamented that he had no plans for re-
ducing taxation. 1t was asserted that he was
without ideas for reconstruction. They were
indignant alike at his actions and his omissions.
But now that he has submitted to them pro

conditions that war has begotten, this repub-
lican majority is loud voice of protest and
denuncation.

He has presented the need and the outline for
industrial reforms. He shows the way to make
constructive changes in the tariffs. He has re
quested assistance to our foreign commerce
which will be help to our domestic business.
He has recommended provisions in behalf of
soldiers and sailors-and has referred congress
to plan already evolved.
What is the republican answer? at is the
most demagogic message that has ever gone to
congress-" says Senator New of Indiana. "He
has handed us a lemon" says a representative

they fear the coming of the ordered

Thus Frank II. Simonds sums up the
situation with respect to the peace
treaty. He might have added that the
German intends to harass the Allies
with a constant propaganda of Inter
nationalism" and that already the in
ternationalists" Of the Allied countries
and of the United States have enlisted

these ''internationalists" is to promote

not to sign. The German has no in

nounced in advance that the treaty of

not admit that the war was lost on the

Dr. BdrKefS S lecture at the chautauQua last
night may result in many sets of sore muscles in
this neighborhood, but if the folks who hear
him will take the daily exercise which he pre-
scrbed they cannot fail to be benefited there
by. The good doctor made one statement
which gave particular joy to the layman soul
of the present writer. who for many years has
fought white bread (whilst eating it, as one
of the chief enemies to human health. Some
years ago we promulgated the somewhat
startling theory that the South might have
riumphed over the North in the war between
the states but for the South's inveterate habit
of eating hot biscuits every day and three times
a day if they could be had. We are no scientist
but we believe firmly that a Metchnikoff or
Barker could prove that the hot-biscuit habit
is highly detrimental to health and happiness;
and that the fresh white bread (our beloved
"ightbread") habit likewise is one of the first
aids to bad health. That war-bread we were
eating last year wasn't popular but it was bet
ter for our health than the more palatable and
