A President S Power

Intoward results followed the
,aI9 failure of our friends in Eu-
rope to understand the complexities
Of the American governmental sys-
TEN and the constitutional limita-
tions which surround a President.
During the peace conference it
was repeatedly brought to the atten-
ton of our allies that a President
was not supreme master of our for
eign rclations-was not even 4 prime
minister who spoke while in office
for the government But, in spite
of warnings and appeals, Europe
refused to listen
That the delusion persists is
saown by the foreign comment on
President Harding's inaugural ad-
dress. There is complaint because
he does not promise specific action.
He can't. The Senate must be con-
suited. He must mature a plan be-
fore he can ask the Senate's opinion,
and It would be poor tactics for him
TO seem to attack the Senate's pre-
rogative.
A propaganda committee might
we'll be sent to Europe to instruct
European statesmen and newspapers
N The rudiments Of American civics.
Such committee fffigat uproot the
notion that PRECEDENT can do as he
pleases.

The Citadel of Liberty


That peculiar ability which Mr..
Coolidge possesses Of bringing one
back to face an old yet ever new truth
in all it's original vigor gave the eli
max to his distinguished speech of
inauguration before the Senate. Said
he after enumerating various func-
tions Of the elder house:
But its greatest function of all,
too little mentioned and too little
understood, whether exercised in leg
islating or reviewing, is the pres
ervation of liberty Not merely the
rights of the majority-thcy little
need protection-but the rights of
the minority, from whatever source
they may be assailed. Tn, great OBJ
ject for US to seek here, for the Con
stitution Identifies the Vice-Presi-
dency with the Senate, is to con-
tinue to make this chamber, as it
was Intended by the fathers, the cita-
del of liberty An enormous power
is conferred, capable of much good
or i'll; open it may be to abuse, but
necessary; wholly and absolutely nee
essary, to secure the required re-
suit
Our friends the Reds can jeer at
these words to their hearts content.
They constitute a truth of American
government not always perceived,
because from time to time the power
in question has been cloudcd by what
MI. Coolidge fairly calls "abusc," yet
lying at the very basis Of our repub-
lican rule. Impatience with the Sem
ate has been AMPLY justified at
times. Criticism of it's actions in
such hours is necessary and right.
The election of Senators of broader
outlook, of better wisdom, is the first
duty of the voters.
But accurate criticism and just
impatience should not blind US to the
larger view Of our institutions. The
United States was builded not for
presidency or decade or even
generation. AS the Vice President
remarked, the body over which he
assumed the duty Of presiding has
functioned through five generations.
1t was fashioned and devised not 10
Il chioxyo orxy cx.,ir ~. ,,ort;c>,io,, ,roo1
but for the broad and far-hung pur-
pose of preserving liberty in the
only sense that is a vital sense-lib-
erty of the minority. The majority
can always take care of itself, as
Mr.. Coolidge observed 1t is the
rights Of the minority as against the
hasty impulses, the too swift judg-
ments of the majority, or against,
perhaps, a headstrong Executive,
that the Senate, with it's maturer
wisdom and it's securer tenure of
Office, is primarily designed to stand.
Sometimes it will be one minority,
sometimes another, that the Senate
will protect. But the principle is
one and the same, and every Ameri-
can should appreciate and under
stand the service which this ma
chinery of review and careful debate
performs in our democracy 1t is
good to have our vision refreshed by
thus. revisiting these old shrines. 1t
is good to know that an American
thus keenly sensitive to these vital
principles Of American faith has as
sumed this honorable post.

Other Inauguraiions


It sometimes seems as if the surest
way to get the fixed attention Of his
tory and succeeding generations. is
to invent a tale. Witness the myth
that Jefferson, when he came to be
iHaugurated, journeyed to the Capi-
tol astride a horse which he forth
with tied to a fence. The story's
baselessness has time and again been
shown, but every four years it bobs
up, unkilled and apparently un-
killable.
The horse fake" as it would be
called in modern journalism, was the
invention of an Englishman named
John Davis, who put it in a book on
America published in London in
1903. The man, to give an air of
verlsimilitude, said he was present
at the Jefferson ceremony. He
wasn't. True accounts say that
Jefferson, lodged 81 boarding house
close to the Capitol, walked with
military escort and a procession of
citizens to the north wing, then the
only one completed, and took the
oath in the Senate chamber amid a
most distinguished company. Jeffer-
son believed in simplicity, but held it
would be unkind to disappoint those
who had gathered to honor him.
Washington, in ruff1es and small
Clothes stood beside table brilliant
" covered with red velvet, and took
the oath amid the greatest throng
mat up to then had assembled in
America. Cannons doomed and bells
rang, and at the ceremony's conclu-
son the official party, escorted by
several companies of soldiers and a
Troop Of horse, proceeded on foot, to
tae music of a Scotch bagpipe, to st.
fauls Chapel for a religious service.

The Man

That, then, is the man Adroit. but
obstinate; conscientious, but light
minded; eloquent. but more carried
away by the rhythm Of his words than
by the depth of his thought; cul-
tured, but too entirely devoted to
certain type of culture; understand
ing Greek and shorthand, yet ignoring
entirely the souls of foreign peoples;
attracted by humanity's terrible prob
lens. but believing that they can be
solved by philosophical and literary
formulas. Make your picture from that
melange of qualities and you will have
perrait which is neither that of a
dreamer nor of genius. 1t is the
perfect portrait of college professor.
Let US be just. There was one
hour when that college professor rose

I AM always carving arrows
Or polishing my bow,
Yet why l care for hunting

For they are long and lonely,
The ways of wood and hill.
And it is wearisome to seek,
And sorrowful to kill.

Wilson in French Eues
and Valleys of His Career as Painted by Stephane
Lduzanne

Inc following paragraphs are quoted
from new voletme By the distinguished
French editor, StephaNe Lauzanne. It
is entitled Great Men and Great Days,
and is published by D. Appleton & Co.
The first time | saw Woodrow Will
son. the evening Of the Statue of Lib
erty banquet in November, 1916, |
watched him for three hours from the
opposite end of the dinner table end
was able to study him entirely at my
leisure
His forehead is little too narrow
obstinacy of which every one who ap-
proaches him complains. His eyes are
clear and briliant-which denotes an
undtnable faculty of assimilation. His
mouth is broad and expressive-which
explains his extraordinary facility in
speaking. The ensemble of his profile
has something awkward and timid
about it; one feels that behind this
solid outward appearance there is, pos
sibly, weakness
Naturally President Wilson made q
speech that evening. His voice is
agreeable and engaging. 1t doesnt
hesitate-perhaps it doesn't hesitate
enough. 1t goes along freely, it speed:
up, it decides, it clears all obstacles
it tries to please its audience anc
almost always succeeds in doing So
at least as far as the immediate audi
tcrs, who can hear Mr.. Wilson speak
are concerned

1t was and will remain to the imper-

act, which is his sole glory, proved
to be also the cause of his
downfall For in it he lost that
address and that fair which for
merly caused him to trim the sails Of
his pride when he felt foul wind
blowing. He lost. that native timidity
which made him hesitate when some
obstacle appeared in his path. His
doctrinal vanity no longer recognized
any limit. He thought that he could
play professor to the entire world.
Six months later a shock that was
still more severe was going to be In
fiicted on the Allies trusting happiness.
This time there could be no doubt about
it. The vanity of which Mr. Wilson had
given the first signs, far from growing
less, had grown greater. Little by lit
tie, bit by bit, it was to fill every lobe in
the Presidential brain.
On the 9TH of November, 1e1s-six
days before the armistice-it burst
forth, undeniable as a thunderbolt.
when Mr.. Wilson signed his own polit-
ical death warrant.

The Tragedy

You know the rest-the second trip
to Paris, the long debates by which
in the dead of night the peace confer
ence regulated the fate of the nations
OF the earth; the signing Of the Treaty
of Versailles; the final return to the
United States; the Republican opposi-
tlon that was irretrievably against
the treaty; the Presidents oratorical
peregrination across America under
the torrid heat; the sudden utter phys
ical breakdown which left the Presi-
dent stricken in the midst of a pub
lie meeting, with his words and his
thought paralyzed. They took Mr.Wil-
son bac6 to Washington However, the
Senate, even in the shadow of the
Presidential shade, continued to dis
sect the treaty, to cut it up and kill it.
The man and his work were in agony
side by side. There is something that
recalls an old Greek tragedy when We
consider Mr.. Wilson laid low by his
mysterious malady and by an almost
unbelievable series of his own NAL
adroitness. He slipped, fell pros
trate in sight Of all, slept gently.
When we Frenchmen, who are it's
victims, consider this drama we try to
be just. The Republican party in
America can say to France, sWe only de-
tended ourselves. We solemnly warned
France on the 9Th of November, 1913,
and the Sd of March, 1919, that the
peacemaker who was coming to her
was not all powerful" We Frenchmen
should censure ourselves because we
did not see, did not know, did not be-
lieve this, and because we were led
astray by the official censorship and
by the oficious optimism Of the voices
Of certain Frenchmen which at that
time raised themselves in America and
in France in order to put US on our
guard

4 Clap Of Thunder

On tnat day-rhe ocn or November
1918-elections were being held in
America to vote for all of the members
of the House Of Representatives and
third of the Senate. The electoral cam
palgn, faithful to the sacred truce, had
been carried on with an unprecedented
calmness when sharply, some days be-
fore the election, just as clap of
thunder bursts in calm sky, sounded
forth the Presidents call to arms. A
message was addressed by him to the
nation. and its title alone was decla-
ration Of war-"Appeal to the electo-
rate for political support"
Mr.. Wilson had taken his chance IN
the political gahble-and lost!
However. President Wilson did rot
give up the fight. Three weeks later
he embarked on the ocean liner with
the glorious name George Washing
ton, escorted by feet of cruisers and
dreadnoughts. He took along with him
delegation that he himself lad
chosen. That delegation included no
member of the Senate, which the Con-
stitution Of the United States has
stipulated shall assist the President
in the making Of treaties; not SEN
ator Lodge, who was going to be chair
man of the Committee on Foreign At-
fairs; nor Senator Hitchcock, who was
the Democratic leader in the Senate:
nor Senator Knox, who had been Sec
retary Of State; nor Senator Uncer-
wood. who is adroit, conciliating and
influential with both political parties.
The President took along only subordi-
mates and men who had his confidence,
whose submission surpassed their de-
votion.
