THE REULT OF SUPER EGO.

1t is unpleasant and sordid. but it Is
a fact that the impelling force back OF
most OF the opposition to the peace
treaty and League OF Nations Is ire
concilablc opposition TO Woodrow Will
son. 1t is deeply regretablc, but a fact
that the Indifference with which the
large majority Of the American public
regard both the peace treaty and the
League OF Nations springs from the feel
ing thai Mr.. Wilson has made tho peace
treaty and the League purely personal
matters, and instruments Of his own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. and their acceptance
without amendment would, in some
sense. be an endorsement OF his course.
Nothing is clearer than that Mr.. Wilson
has lost the leadership which he once
held. Ills power TO excite the imagin-
alton and TO secure the acclaim OF the
people has been dissipated. n their
confidence in his judgment and his sim
cerity has been rudely shaken
This began to be seen when Mr.. VIII
son made his unfortunate appeal for a
Democratic Congress in 1918. Tho re-
sponsc of the, people to that appeal
showed how deeply they resented an
effort to gather partisan and personal
advantage out OF the sacrifices. the
patriotism and the service OF the en-
tire country. A wise man would have
profted by the rebuke administered at
that time. but Mr.. Wilson chose to con-
tinue In his previous policy and to make
of the peace negotiations purely an OPP
p~ortunity for the accentuation OF his
own personal Importance and for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF his leadership. II Is
not too much to say hat no representa-
