League became the object Of derision in

Democracy's Danger
(From ihe Wall Street Journal }

When the Plumb railroad steal was
proposed, the conscience OF the coun-
try was aroused.
When outside union labor leaders
proposed to confer with the Steel Cor
poration with a view TO its surrender
to the un-American policy Of closed
shop inside the lines, but dominated
outside the lines. Judge Gary very prop
erly declined the conference.
When nineteen Boston policemen
were found guilty Of violating the rules
and after trial were dismiss ri, 1900 po-
licemen struck for the right Of union
ism 90 dominate the police force.
At the same time. Mr.. Wilson post
poned the issue with the Washington
police over the same question.
The next step from uniOnism for The
police is unionism for the army and the
navy-and this is Russian BOlshevikism.
Every honest American railroad man
should feel the disgrace and stigma
that Plumb placed upon him.
Every true Bostonian feels the dis
grace with which this American city
has been covered when so per cent. OF
IFS public guardians were found dis
loyal Mr. Plumb, Mr. Wilson and the
Boston police are all putting the Demo-
cratic form Of government In jeopardy.
Mr Wilson is stumpng the country
appealing 10 the anti-war passions Of
men to force the United states Senate
to cease deliberation over the Peace
Treaty and his League Of Nations pro-
posal and force it's acceptance.
The bulwark Of Democracy for 100
years has been The United STATES, its
Constitution and its representative gov
ernment. Mr.. Wilson is striking at the
very plots Of representative government
by his appeal 10 the LOB against the
United STATES Senate in deliberatiye as
sembly.
II is an open question whether the
present proposal for League Of Ma

a worthy publishing, house Of Chi
cago, hitherto best known in literary
circles as the purveyors Of that sd-
mirable volume "Bill Nye's Comic His
tory Of the United States," has taken
step and issued book entitled
President Wilson's Great Speeches and
Other History Making Documents" on
the paper jacket Of this addition to the
groaning self Of Wilsoniana Is what
was anciently known as an advertise
ment and is now quite generally STYLED
blurb. The burb is almost always
an interesting, II not an integral. part
OF the modern book. II is usually
frank effort on the part Of the publisher
to be intimate with the prospective
reader, and the blurb OF the present
book is no exception, for It says, in
part:
President Wilson talks TO you I'm 4
this book and he reveals TO you his <
thoughts i'm an intensely interesting
way. So long as the world shall last
the addresses and speeches of Presi-
dent Wilson shall live"
A little journey through the inside
Of the book leads the examiner to
wonder Just what effect its perusal
would have on visitor fresh from
the interior Of Tibet, who. though he
understood the English language. was
unfamiliar with Mr.. Wilson and his
attitude during the last six or seven
years toward American affairs. For this
volume unlike most Of the volumes OF
The Presidents speeches, is not devoted
to one or two phases of the Wilsonian
mind. II includes speeches made in
every year since Mr.. Wilson came TO
the Presidency.
The stranger reading through this
new book, would come on Page 75 TO
The following utterance:
America ought 10 devote
itself only 10 the things that Amer
lea believes in and. believing that
America Stands apart in its ideals, It
ought not 10 allow itself to be
drawn. so far as its heart is con-
cerncd, into anybody's quarrel"
On Pages $40 and 81 he would find
Mr.. Wilson saying:
America is fighting
for the liberation Of peoples every
where from the aggressions Of auto
cratic force
I'VE are fighting for the liberty.

tated development Of al peoples"
On Page i7i the visitor would find

But on Page 344 this quotation from
a Wilson speech would face him:
"All the people OF the world are
in effect partners in this interest
The program OF the worlds
peace, therefore, is our program"
on Page IA our innocent guest from
the East would encounter a classic.
There is such a thing as a man

such thing as a nation being so

Asia would care TO explore
further To discover in one small vol
ume, covering in time less than two
Presidential terms, as much as we have
indicated by these brief and familiar
extracts might be enough to muddle
the literary explorer.
Referring TO the blurb, the amazed
man might express an honest doubt
these addresses shall live
so long as The world shall last'-or
at least whether they will be able 10
live together between the covers Of one
book. Other publishers Of Wilson
speeches have the happier way OF print
