The writer OF editorial comment
In the Philadelphia InQnirer had the
following TO say recently:
ION December 2. 1918, in announc-
ing his proposed iunket, Mr.. Wilson
said: 4 shall be in close touch with
you and affairs on this side of the
water On May 20, in his message
Mr.. Wilson said: Il hesitate to venture
an opinion - with respect to do
mestic legislation while absent from
the United States and out of daily
touch with intimate sources of inform
alton A too brief memory often
maketh deadly parallel"
Democrats are insisting that the Re
publicans must pay attention to the
address cabled from Paris to Washing
ton in which the chief executive insists
that the party now in power repeal
many OF the measures that he thinks
are not OF benefit to the country. The
Democrats appear to have lost sight OF
the fact that President Wilson has had
a Congress of his own party for nearly
eight years and that the measures he
now finds to be detrimental were pass
ed by his own Congress, many Of them
at his dictation and now, after having
appealed to the people to give him a
Congress that would sustain him and
his ideas, and having been turned
down, he wants the Republicans to be
the goats.
Congressman Bacharach was on
Wednesday appointed member Of the
House Office Building Commission.
This commission is composed OF Speak
er Gillette as ex-officio member, ex
Speaker Clark, and Mr.. Bacharach
Mr.. Bacharach as member OF the ma
jority party becomes the chairman Of
this commission. This commission
has control OF the building and will be
responsible for its proper care and
maintenance. Heretofore the commits
sion has been composed Of the speaker
Of the house as chairman, the chair
man of the appropriations committee
and the minority leader, and this is
the first time in the history OF the
house office building that any MEM
Der other than those holding these i'm
portant places has been selected as a
member Of the commission. The ap-
pointment is therefore an important
one and adds to the honors that have
already come to Mr.. Bacharach in the
short time he has been in Congress.
There is much criticism Of the ad-
ministration in many quarters but the
most outspoken and fearless journal to
discuss the present conditions is Har-
vey's Weekly, which reaches our desk
promptly each Saturday, giving time
to thoroughly read and inwardly digest
in the quietude Of the following day.
Not an issue OF the Weekly that does
not contain food for reflection. Each
paper is a whole volume and each ar
ticle is a separate story full OF prickly
points. The beauty Of the whole situa
ton is that Col. Harvey, the editor OF
the Weekly, has an intimate know
ledge on all the subjects he discusses.
He is perfectly aware how much he
had to do with making Woodrow Will
son President, and he is man enough
to admit that present conditions are
such as to cause him to regret having
been instrumental in that action.
Thrice armed is he who has his quar-
rel just" and Gel. Harvey has the
triple ammunition.
