Much less can such a one be a true and loyal supporter of the government. President Wilson himself said: “While exercising the great powers of the office I hold, I criticism.” Assuming that the president meant what he said, no person can be a loyal supporter of thePresident and take a different view. But in this or any other crisis, the first con- sideration is not support of the president, but support of the government. Mr Asquith, the British statesman; recognized this when he said: “There is no reason, there was never less reason, why the voice of honest and patriotic criticism should be hushed into silence.” 4 = ; There is not now and there never has been any serious danger of injury to the country from criticisms voiced by the country’s enemies. Criticisms coming from an enemy ecarry with them a note of disloyalty which the people of the country will be quick to detect. On the other hand, there has been and will yet be much good accomplished by criticisms voiced by the country’s friends. And there will be ‘little difficulty in de- termining whether the critic be a friend or an enemy. The doughty Colonel who was refused to..chance :to.go into the trenches and whose four sons went to the firing line, one of them to lose his life, has been one of the most persistent and most vigorous of the administration’s critics, but one whose loyalty to the government no one has ever questioned. There are thousands of others, in and out of Congress, who have pointed out the shortcomings of the administration, with the result that faults have been remedied with great good to the allied cause. ¥ By his frequent changes of mind, President Wilson has been the most conclusive witness to the value of . criticism, Every time he changed his mind he has added testimony to his fallibility and the superior wisdom and foresight of ‘others. Passing by the long list of instances in which he changed his mind relative to domestic affairs, one can readily recall numerous instances in which he altered his policies regarding the war. At first he denounced the advocates of preparedness as nervous and excited, and said we had not neglected pre- paredness. A few months later he came around to the views that had been so vigorously asserted by Roosevelt, Wood, Gardner, and others. ‘He declared that with the causes of this war we have nothing to do, but later asserted that we must see Belgium restored—a declaration in effect, that Belgium was ;nnocent and that we have an interest in seeing justice done er. . He declared at the naturalization meeting in Philadelphia four days after the sinking of the Lusitania, that there is such a thing as a nation being too proud to fight, which could not mean anything else than that he so considered this nation. A few months later, without any atrocity having been committed that equaled in-barbarity the sinking of the Lusi- tania, the president asked congress to declare war. Shortly before we entered the conflict he declared that there must be “peace without victory.” Since we entered the war he has declared against any peace short of victory, though there have been some expressions that cause apprehension re- garding the steadfastness of his resolution in this regard. These are the more important instances of his change of mind in matters relative te the war. In every instance, his earlier attitude was assailed by leading public men, by editors, and by citizens generally. That free and courageous ex- pression of opinion finally convinced him of his error and led to his change to a sound policy. < These and other instances fully confirm the soundness of his position when he said that he would regret in the ecrisis like the one through which we are passing to lose the benefit of patriotic and intelligent criticism. The great danger to President Wilson lies largely in the fact that he confers with few people and those few are more likely to tell him what it is pleasing for him to hear, rather than to tell him the truth. Frank and free criticism is, therefore, the more important to the nation. () SOUND BUSINESS IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS. It is with pleasure that we are able to announce the im- portant changes to be made in the management of the Bemidji public schools, in that the department of business is to be added to conduct the affairs. of the schools as they should be. Here- after, the boo}(s will be kept at the business offices at the high school and will be in competent hands, that the tax payers of the city may obtain whatever information they may desire. It is also gratifying to know that in the new principal, J. W. Smith, a capable instructor and athletic coach has been secured and that the school management will hereafter be in charge of athletics ‘of the schools. Lax standings in studies have at frequent intervals invalidated the participation of school athletes in contests, only to have outside influences brought to_bear to allow the offender to play in scheduled games, which has caused endless friction and disruption of school discipline. The other matters mentioned in The Pioneer of yesterday were only a few of many that will be given close attention. _Superlptendepi; Bolcom has been hard at work all summer and is getting efficiency injected into school affairs and when once brought to a satisfactory plane will be maintained. 0 in the conquered and reconquered portions of France.
