Mr. Kahn did not need Mr. Wilson’s commendation. Repub- Hlecans in both branches of Congress have been zealous to promote legisla- tion which is really designed to facilitate the conduct of the war. They have sought, without fear or favor—and certainly with no hope of re- ward beyond that of a clear conscience—to advance preparedness and to fit the United States to do its full share in the war. When they have agreed with the president, as in Mr. Kahn’s case, they have received a belated and grudging acknowledgement. When they have ventured ta have any opinions of their own, the White House press exhausts the vocabulary of vituperation to execrate them. Meantime, the Democratic members hold the chairmanships in both House and Senate, they neglect their duties, they refuse to ‘‘stand by the President,” but they are never or rarely censured for it. It is a queer world. CAN'T BE DONE Mr. McAdoo's constantly increasing estimates and demands for money necessary to carry on the war recalls the story of the two ladies who were talking about money matters. ‘‘Does your husband give you all the money you want?"” asked one. ‘Mercy, no,” replied the other. “There isn’t that much money in the world.” . JUST IMAGINE! Says Secretary of State Lansing: ‘“Imagine Germany victor in Europe because the United States remained neutral.” And yet it only a few months since Lansing was helping to re-elect the president who claimed to have “kept us out of war.” ‘What a jolt it would be if some slacker, forced into service, should suddenly develop the genius of a Grant, or a Joffre, or a Hindenburg! But he won’t. He'll be paring spuds in the kitchen. Crops are reasonably good this year, including that of geniuses who can end the war by the pressing of a button. inventive ‘War hasn’t all been transferred to the trenches. the back fence.
