CR1TICIZING WILSON.

According to a London dispatch of
recent date, Europe is blaming Presi-
dent Wilson because of the muddled
condition of the treaty issue in this
country and because of much of the
unrest in Europe. The dispatch in
question says:
Americas absence at the general
peace ratification ceremonies in Paris
Saturday brought revival OF bitter
comment in certain quarters against
President Wilson.
The presidents critics heap upon his
shoulders the responsibility for most Of
Europe's troubles and add that the
foundation for these was laid in the
presidents course at Paris.
Among the most severe OF the fresh
outbreaks against Wilson is found in
an interview with, Lord Charnwo0d.
published in the London Observer.
THE present SITUATION said Charm
wood. ''is almost entirely due to Presi-
dent Wilson's course during the peace
conference. He appears to have taken
scarcely any pains to get in touch with
the United States senate or the leading
people in either party. except his own
personal friends. His conduct now
greatly increases the feeling Of his ar
bitrariness and desire for isolated pow
err. Having acquired reputation as a
somewhat self-centered individual who
did not readily take counsel with men
Of his own standing, Wilson has been
doing everything to make the people
critical and anxious
Lord CharnwOod asserted that the
United States senate feels, under the
circumstances. that the important feat
ure of American constitutional liber-
ties is in serious danger by acceptance
Of the treaty at orders from Wilson.
Harold Cox, writing in the Sunday
Times. declared that the most hopeful
feat Of the new conference at Paris
| is the absence of President Wilson.
Few Englishmen," wrote Cox. yet
realize the immense obstacle to the
peace of Europe created by Wilson's
attitude at the former conferences. If
he had had any ordinary regard for
constitutional decorum. he would have
invited prominent republican senators
to accompany him to Paris to consult
with him and secure the prospect of
united support of the whole American
people. Instead he preferred to as
sumo the role of an autocrat. with the
result that practically all the policies
he championed ended in failure.
'Why his colleagues at the confer
ence accepted him at his own valuation
has never been explained
Cox further eXcOriates Wilson for
forcing" inclusion of the League of
Nations covenant in the treaty to be
used las coercion of his political Op-

In the coal shortage periods from
which the country has suffered in rec
cnt years. particularly in the severe
winter of 1911-191S one of the great
est factors has been the unequal dis
tribution of ears. That was true also
last summer. when q shortage of coal
for this winter was predicted. and
everybody was urged to lay in an early
supply The mine operators insisted
that it was not their fault that more
coal was not forthcoming. and laid the
blame at the door Of the director gen
eral of railroads for not furnishing
more ears. There can be little doubt
that if there had been a fairer dis
tribution of available transportation
among the mines the situation would
have been greatly relieved But no

Which Of the two great political par
ties will be first to adopt plank for
the prohibition of strikes? That party
will be popular with the American peo-
ple.-Toledo Chronicle.
This question must be approached
with discriminating Judgment. Strikes
in such industries as railroading, coal
mining, public service corporations. ETC..
ought to be prohibited by law but this
method of securing rights for workmen
in private industries, such as steel
mills. printing offices. cloth factories,
etc. etc, should not be abridged.

Governor Lowden owns farm Of
1900 acres in Illinois and manages it
successfully. That means, of course,
that he knows the problems of the far
mers of the middle west. This may ex-
plain in measure why so many far
mers are for him for president. Bur
the principal reason Of the strong sup
port he is getting is the fact tla5 he
has made good as governor of one OF
the greatest states in the uniou.

The senate ought to get together on
some form Of treaty ratification and
pass the problem along to the presi-

position where it will be up to him to
accept or be held responsible for de-
lays. The senate has the whip hand
if it only has the wisdom to exercise it.
