Dissatisfaction over the proposed
extension of Walker avenue from
Third street TO Grand avenue is being
expressed by busine. men, who say
that the widening Of Hudson avenue
would be Of much greater benefit. II
Is intimated that the plan to extend
Walker avenue is being pushed with 4
view Of furthering private interests
rather than looking TO the actual I'M
provement Of the business district
Several times in the last few years
il has been rumored that Hudson ave.
nue would be widened. None Of the
plans was ever brought to an issue
on account Of the war.
Whether Walker street will be ex-
tended depends directly upon the re.

A great moral force had flung

why U. S. Entered War
"1hc United States entered the war
upon a different footing from every
other nation except our associates on
this side OF the sea. We entered it,
not because our material interests
were directly threatened or because
any special treaty obligations to
which we were parties had been vio-
lated. bu. only because we saw the
supremacy, and even the validity Of
right everywhere put in jeopardy and
free government likely to be every
where imperilcd by the intolerable ag-
gresson OF a power which respected
neither right or obligation and whose
very system OF government flou,ed
the rights OF the citizen as against the
au,ocra,ic authority OF his governors.
And in the settlements OF the peace we
hive sought no special repara,ion for
ourselves but only the restoration OF
right and the assurance OF liberty
everywhere that the effects OF the
settlement were TO be felt We en-
tered the war a. the disinterested
champions Of right and we interested
ourselves in the terms OF the peace In
no other capacity.
"The hopes Of the nations allied
agains, the central powers were atea
very low ebb when our soldiers be-
gan to pour acro" the sea. There
was everywhere amongst them. except
in their stoutest spirits, sombre fore
boding of disaster. The war ended in
November, eigh, months ago. but you
have only 10 recall what was feared
in midsummer last four short months
before the armistice, to realize what
il was that our timely aid accom-
plished alike for their morale and
their physical safety. That first new
er TO be forgotten action at Chateau
Thierry had already taken place. Our
redoubtsble soldiers and marines had
already closed up the gap the enemy
had succeeded in opening for their
advance upon Paris--hsd already

THE NEED OF CRITICISM.

At time when there is II peculiar
need of honest and constructive crit
ici~m of Government officials in this
country. u storm Of protest goes up
from democratic sheets. whose opin-
ions nre plainly influenced by the ev-
er present hope OF favors nj the
hands OF the administration.
The theory OF these papers seems
TO be that the office and personality
of the president are sacred. that IT
is unpairioilc TO differ from him or TO
find fault with the vast machinery
of government oi which he II the
head aud from much OF which he IL
responsible. The contrary il OF rourse
true. The president IL after all the
servant of the nation, and ms such
his acts nnd his policies are subject
to public scrutiny aud 10 the frank
expression OF public judgment.
The trend toward nutocrncy has
gone altogether too far IN the United
States, and it Is the proper function
OF criticism to point oni thni fact
and do what 1t can To bring about II
wholesome return to former condi
iions.
There can be no safety IN u coun-
try like ours without constant witch
fulness and determination. On the
part of The hon.st newspaper press
and public men to criticize when crii-
cism is required. Ii there is u dan
ger ol lnpsing into mere captiou'nes-
there l. a larger danger oi shutting
nur eyes to conditions and tendencies
which, ii persisted in, will bring about
our nnlionnl humiliation Neither
Mr.. Wilson nor any other public
oflirnl in the United States enn cx-
p,cI by virtue ol his position TO cs-
cape the vigorously expressed ver-
diets of hi- fellow citizens. And the
present admins ,rntion. more than
any other We have had for genera

on itself the flood of dcnunciniion
