government but in all other occupa.

the government set the example to other
employers by paying living wage, to
be continued at the proposed rate until
economic conditions warranted new
adjustment of the rates of pay. This
would have been the statesmanlike thing
% do, because 1t was economically
sound.
And at the same time he could have
called upon the Federal Reserve Board
to begin contraction of credit by
slowly calling in loans on government
bonds and on commercial paper, a
credit that has been expanded by
$40, ZOO. .O00. 900, and has had a more
direct effect on the Cheapening of the
dollar than any other single cause.
But he did none Of these things.
Instead, he contente ed himself with going
before Congress and walking around in
circle and going back to the White
House again. And now he is denounc-
ing Congress because it did not attempt
the impossible
He is not content, however. with
condemning Congress for its failure to
reduce prices. He has denounced the
new railroad law along with other con-
structive legislation as so unsatisfac- :
tory that l could accept it, IL at all,
only because l despaired Of anything

nitted to be one of the most advanced
pieces Of railroad legislation passed in q
generation. No one calls 1t perfect,
but It is workable. In its field it is just
as important as the federal reserve
banking law passed by a Democratic
Congress with the assistance of the
Republicans. Apparently If the bank
ing law had been passed by a Repub-
lican Congress Mr.. Wilson would be
saying that he accepted it because he
despaired of anything better. Yet the
banking law has had to be amended in
many particulars since he signed it anc
characterized 1t as a vindcation Of the
wisdom of the country in trusting its
affairs to the Democratic party.
We are likely to have the political
side of Mr.. Wilson exploited for the
next few months, to the regret of those
who admire the man when he acts as a
statesman.

JEKYLL STATESMAN,
HYDE POLITICIAN
The Dual Wilson, with the Bad Side
Predominant In His Partisan
Pronouncements

OUCH fame as the President has
~ achieved has come to him because
of his conduct when he has forgotten
for the moment that there is such
thing as political partisanship and has
acted as the spokesman for the Ameri-
can people.
In the early days of our participation
in the war his splendid utterances
thrilled the heart Of the whole nation.
He put in words the emotions and as
pirations OF tho inarticulate masses re-
gardless of party. He spoke for Amer
ica. and America responded to the ap-
peal to its higher ideals.
It is when Mr.. Wilson assumes the
role of a partisan leader that he dis
appoints the nation. which has had a
right to assume that the man whom the
adherents of all parties accepted as
their leader in a great war should be
able to refrain from the petty tactics
Of the leader of n political campaign.
No more stupendous political blunder
was ever made in the heart of a great
crisis in America than the President
made on the eve of the congressional
election in 1918. when he called upon
the country to elect Democratic Con-
gress because he could not trust the
Republicans. This was n palpabc at
tempt to make the war a Democratic
enterprise when it was a war of the
whole American people. The American
people resented il and Mr.. Wilson has
suffered from this resentment ever since,
and the hard feelings created have COM
plicated the work of government in
Washington.
And it all came about because the
narrow partisan instincts of the Presi-
dents mind dominated his action at the
time.

Distressing Conditions Surround Kru-
ger Family at Elmont.
Unable to obtain a nurse at any
price and with no one to care for the
sick, the entire family of Charles Kru-
ger, living near Elmont. with the ex-
ception of the baby, is i'll with the flu.
Frank Kruger, a brother of Charles.
has developed pneumonia and was to
be brought to a Topeka hospital today.
Physicians said his recovery is doubt
full.
This will leave at home, uncared

| in a delicate condition. their three
children and Mrs. Kruger's brother,
| Wesley Ridgeway, who was taken i'll
1 when he braved the danger of ~infec-
ton to render aid to his relatives. All
! attempts to obtain a nurse have been
unsuccessful. According to DR.. o. F.
Narcotic, it is not matter of finance.
but simply a case where no nurse is
available.
A week ago Frank Kruger arrived
at his brothers home from Illinois
and, it is believed. brought the disease
with him. In a short time Charles be-
came i'll, then his wife and at last two
of the children, who were already i'll

Ridgeway. finding the family helpless.
entered the home to help them and
was also stricken.
Sunday, Chat Chilson. a neighbor
living on a farm adjoining the Kruger
place. went to the home OF the unfor-
tunate family to wait upon them. This
is the first assistance they. had re-
ceived since they became ill, but had
been compelled to wait upon each
other. Neighbors, it is said. are keep
ing the family in provisions by leav-
ing them on the porch, but are afraid
to enter the house. When Doctor Mar
cote made his calls he pumped water
and brought it into the house where
the family might reach it with the
least effort.
TITS a distressing situation" the
doctor declared today. There are
not enough nurses. Something must
be done for the family at once. It
isn't a question of money, for they
have the means. I have exhausted
every effort to get a nurse for them
without avail. We now have eight
calls for nurses on the list which can
not be filled"
