THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH

In his address in New York on the eve of his depart
ure for France, President Wilson seems to have paid more
attention to inspiration than to information. That he did
this purposely is probably because we are not accustomed
to regard him as a man if impulsive action. It would
have been gratifying to many Americans to have received
from the president further enlightenment on the plan for
the league of nations. 1t is true that on his return home
a week ago he did make some analysis of the league con-
|stitution, but that constitution can not be adequately treat
ed in a single speech by any man, no matter how able.
Former Presiden Taft has been working industriously and
effectively to bring the facts relating to this subject home
to the American people, and his address at the New York
meeting seems to have been more analytical than was the
presidents. But eminent as he is, Mr.. Taft is not the
chief American sponsor for the league plan. BY virtue of
his office as we'll as his activities, that position is held and
must be held by President Wilson. It would have been
pleasing. therefore, to have received from the lips of Mr..
Wilson himself something Of argument on the provisions
of the constitution in addition to what he has already
given us.

MARSE HENRY

Colonel Henry Watterson has begun the publication
Of . series Of memoirs. and it Is not easy to think OF any
one whose recollections will be read with greater interest.
Colonel Watterson- has, perhaps. ceased to be q very active
participant in the affairs Of the world because of.his years.
but the fact remains that he is one Of our most cherished
institutions. The American people accept him. and love
him. and hope that he may be spared to enjoy for years
the repose to which he is entitled after a long life of ac-
tivhy. and to delight them with occasional contributions
from the pen which has been welded with such dizziness
and such vigor.
There are not left to US many men who had not only
attained to full manhood before the Civil war. but who
had been in close personal contact with people and events
that have become historic. In this respect Henry Waiter
son Is especially fortunate, and for this reason, aside from
the genial personality Of the great editor. the recollectons
which are now being pubished will be read with unusual
interest.
Colonel watterson came Of good stock. His father
congress. and the close friend of many who were, or who
became eminent. His son was therefore reared among
conditions which brought him into contact with some of
the most prominent men of his day, and which familiar
lied him with events which have become historic. AS a
boy he met on familiar terms such men as jackson. Frank
lin Pierce, Taylor, Fillmore and Cass. While serving as
a volunteer page in the house of representatives in Wash
|ington he became q sort of protege of an aged member
who, he was told, had been president Of the United States.
This man. Of course, was John Quincy Adams, one of the
finest figures in our history, and the little friend of the
|sreat man was present when tn great statesman collapsed
on the floor of the house. and was carried out in. a dying
condition.
1t seems strange that there should, be now living and
taking an active part in the affairs of the world a man
whose personal reconections carry him back among people
and scenes of which most Of us Know only from the read
ing OF books of history. There are many delightful mo-
ments in store for the readers of Marse Henry's reminis-
|cences.

largest packing firms in the world. which has Just been
issued, is a notable publication, both because of it's typo

Allied flags in their proper colors.
But the real interest lies in the contents of the pub-
LEGATION. The book is packed with figures and statements
as to the scope and character Of the business carried on
by the firm, and many of the statements which have been
made in criticism of the great packing firms are answered
in a manner which seems to be conclusive.
The Herald has repeatedly discussed the manner in
which the the packers by the
Federal Trade commission was conducted. The manifest
purpose in those proceedings was not to ascertain facts
but to convict Of crime, with or without evidence. the
firms which the commission was supposed to be investi-
eating. That attitude was. unfair and unjust. 1t was an
unwarranted attack on business concerns whose guilt had
not been proven, and it was an insult to the American
people; who were interested in what was being done. and
pre5udiced, 30 that actual grievances might be brought to
light and concerted, and actual criminality. II It had ex-
listed. might be punished. But the public had the right Ia
demand that no concern. big or little, should be made the
object Of attacks without proper evidence.

and makes specific statements concerning tho business.

Trade commission to point out wherein they are wrong.

SLOW ACTION

With the passing of the late congress and the Incl
dents in connection with it's closing which have been
brought forcibly to the attention Of the country. there
stands out again conspicuously the remarkable slowness
of action provided for in the constitutional regulations
relating to the creation of our congress and its sessions.
Last November members were chosen to a new congress.
Under no circumstances is it possible for those members
to take their seats until March 4 of this year. Four
months must. elapse under any circumstances before a
newly elected congress can convene. Unless called into
extra session the new congress does not convene until a
year from the December following its election. There is,
therefore, a period Of thirteen months between the cleo
ton of the new members and their assumption of their
duties except in special cases.
Just now there is urgent need for legislation on a
great many subjects. The urgent deficiency bill failed
Of passage. That bill contained a provision for the appro-
priation of $3.50, 900, 900 for the use Of the railroads which
are now being operated under government control, and
whose affairs are taken out Of the hands Of their owners.
A project proposed by Secretary Lane recommended by
the president and without question approved in principle
at least by a vast majority of the American people pro-
vided for the expenditure of 500, 600. 900 on works of
reclamation which would render available for use millions
Of acres of public land which would provide homes for
great numbers of families who need them, including the
families of returned soldiers and which also would pro-
vide labor of a productive and profitable character for
those soldiers during the period Of the readjustment. That
bill failed of passage. Many other highly important meas
ures went by the board. Regardless of who is responsible
it is evident that a failure of this needed legislation must
result in very unfortunate conditions.
AS the matter now stands no extra session is in sight.
The president has stated definitely that he will not call
one until his return from Europe which may be several
months hence. Thus, legislation that is needed now goes
over and the execution of whatever mandate was given
the congress at the fall election must be postponed. I'm
der the British parliamentary system there would be no
such delay. When a British parliament is elected it can be
called into session within a week. Almost invariably it is
called very soon so that the members can proceed imme-
diately to the execution Of the duties with which they are
charged and there can be no such thing as the long delay
which is usual and which seems to be almost unavoidable
under our system
