USELESS
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.

The new secretary Of agriculture
has said that he would abolish use
less offices and that useless employ
es must go. Here's where one can
see trouble ahead for the secretary,
for no public official ever under
took such a job as pointing out use
less offices and abolishing them
who didn't have something on rand
as soon as he started to getting the
useless employees on the march out.
Then is when friends and polite,
ians and interests get busy with
their appeals to cali halt and let
the useless ones stay on the salary
list. Creating new jobs is easy;
but abolishing Jobs and setting the
holders adrift is another affair. The
hold is taken with such grip that
it is the most dicicult thing TO pry
the holder loose That is seen in
many an experience that has cost

RETURN TO THE
FOURTEEN POINTS.

We are not at all impressed by
the explosions of anger against the
President in Europe. They ema-
nate from politicians and from
newspapers controlled by polite
ians. In view of the history of the
Peace Conference they are not to
be taken seriously. The treaty
with Germany is already under at
tack everywhere, and it is generally
admitted that it cannot be executed
in the form in which is was rati-
fed. The clauses that are breaking
down are the clauses that the
President opposed and on which he
felt he was obliged to yield in
order to reach an agreement.
There is nothing to be gained by
going through the procedure again,
at least so far as the United States
IS concerned. II the Allied govern
mcnts had adhered to the general
principles of peace that they ac.
copied when they framed the armi-
stice, there would have been no
Elume crisis. The way TO insure a
permanent peace in Europe is to
return to those principles without
further loss of time.-New York

ADVANTAGES OF
CABINET GOVERNMENT.

1t Is likely that the cabinet tr0u-
bles at Washington will make the
organizers Of the new German re.
public more convinced than ever
mat they were in the right in fol
lowing the French rather than the
American system in regard to the
functions Of the president. When
American officials in the occupied
zone Inquired the reason of not
copying American practice Germans
pointed to the deadlock in the SEN
ate as exemplifying a defect in our
constitutions. In the present case
they might urge that under their
SYSTEM the temporary illness of the
president could not interfere with
the conduct of affairs, while if the
premier should for any considerable
time be incapacitated he could he
replaced by vote of the national as
sembly without general election,
ms successor being free either to
form new cabinet or to continue
the one already existing. No CON
stItutfon can be devised which is
ideal at all points, but it is unde-
niable that those systems which
center about the cabinet, while
they may be subject to more over
turns than we would like. have a
certain advantage i'll fiexibility. A

Mr. WILSON'S
THREE GREAT ERRORS

Mr.. Wilson has made many mis-
takes since becoming president. but
he has been guilty Of three monu-
mental errors that stand out from
the others. The first Of these WIS
his defiance Of the senate. on the
eve of his second trip to Europe,
when he replied to protests con
corning certain features of the lea
cue covenant draft by announcing
that when he brought the com
pleted peace treaty home with him
for ratification the nation would
find the covenant so interviewer
with 1t that the two could not be
separated without destroying the
whole document Up to the time of
his defiance it was still within the
presidents power to take a place
IN history as one of the leaders of
the United States and possibly as a
world statesman. But the moment

America that they must do his will

the road to decline. That day he
passed the apex of his power and
prestige.
Mr.. Wilson's second great error
was his appeal to the country to
elect a Democratic congress. Here
by implication, he made charge
against the patriotism Of a great
section of the American people.
and undertook to Interfere in
matter thai had always been con
sidered sacred from the touch of
the chief executive. He aroused
the resentment and suspicion of
voters even in his own party and
the rebuke he received at the polls
was decisive. 1t revealed the wan.
ing of his prestige in a way moth
ing else could have done at that
time.
The third ana most reckless en-
ror of President Wilson was the
one of which he became guilty last
week. Then he laid bare the
