For once the Presidents habit Of
dependence on mass psychology may
have led him to trap. Mr.. Wilson
may present himself boldly as the friend
Of labor. But can Colby at the con
vention get labor to swallow Palmer
and Burleson? Can Colby cause the
women of the country TO forget that 1t
was the Republican party that actually
gave them about all they have of the
rights of citizenship, and that their
new friends in the South are the same
folk who fought the franchise ever since
the days of Susan Il. Anthony?
Can Colby purify Charley Murphy
and the Tammany hordes and make
them acceptable as units in party
pledged to the New Freedom? Who
will chain Mr.. Bryan If Colby urges a
moist plank into the platform, and who
will still the agonized cries of the
Palmers and Burlcsons il the platform

1t Is pretty clear that the President
is aiming to dominate his party, and
that at the same time he seeks nothing
at its hands beyond the defeat Of the
opposed ticket. He aims apparently
to lure detached masses of voters to the
Democrats in November. There is a
labor vote. woman vote and a very
large farmer vote to be swung by clever
management.
Mr.. Wilson occupies in Washington
a position of extreme advantage. He
knows that whatever he chooses to say
will be printed and read with careful
attention over the whole country. Be
cause he sincerely desires to be the
prophet of his party and because he is
pretty good hater he is likely to use
every method available to him to battle
and confuse the Republican campaign
managers. His tactics will be bold.
They have already been bold. So it is
the duty Of the Republicans to prepare
for hard fighting in the open.
Meanwhile it will be interesting to
study the fate of the Daniel sent by
Mr.. Wilson to pacify the lions that he
himself made wild. Mr.. Wilson's fate
in his party will depend On the success
or failure of Colby to unity the warning

TT Is odd to find Mr.. Wilson in these
L momentous hours depending largely
on a Republican to make democracy safe
for the world. That plainly is the hard
mission of Bainbridge Colby at San
Francisco. And it will be hard to con-
vince Democrats, or any one else for
that matter, that Mr.. Colby has out
lived his essential Republicapism in a
few short years. His bolt was an act Of
rage rather than an act of conviction.
1t was one of those appalling gestures
that men resort to when they wish to
inspire horror in beholders and plant
bitter remorsc for imaginary wrongs in
the bosoms of their friends.
Mr.. Colby went out of the Republi-
can party as he might have gone over
q cliff or into wild desert with n good
by vain world wave of his hand. But
those who burn their bridges and go
into the far places of life meet with
hard adventures of which they never
dreamed.

II the amateurs in the game Of parties
can only stand and gaze and complain
at the current display Of political uc-

it with dazzling skill. lie has a knack

President could no longer be a factor in

quickly get rid of that dclusiOn and
learn to play the game as Mr.. Wilson
is playing it., their victory may not be
so easy as they now expect it to be.

DUT Mr.. Kienzl may find comfort in
- the fact that II Is sometimes pos.
sible to do again what has been done
once, and. strange as it may seem, the
Austrian hymn, both words and music
was the result Of a deliberate nten.
tion on the part of both writer and
composer to produce national hymn.
1t Is the only case on record where a
national hymn, generally accepted as
such by the people, was not the spon.
taneous outpouring of words and melody
as the result Of national crisis.
When Haydn visited England he was
much interested in the effect upon the

to, carry out the instructions OF his

in melody, dignity and general fitness,
