The cotgress may not represent the people. It takes at least two years to change the house and much longer to change the senate. Two weeks is nearer the time we shall ever have in which to decide to fight or lie down. We “plunge” or are “plunged” into war; we don’t go to it with long months of deliberation and preparation, Our constitution-makers took the risk that, in the vital and sudden emergency of war, the congress would always represent the people’s will. Today, we have an ex-president sounding the tocsin of war with Germany. About three years ago, several millions of voters cut loose from party ties and consented to follow this man whitherso he might lead, and had he won, we would today, very likely, have at least two wars on our hands, simply because the president can cause war, whoever may hold the exclusive right to declare it. While our constitution-makers took the risk referred to, they failed to provide safeguards against congressional misrepresentation of the popular will, such as the initiative, referendum and recall. Constitutionally, our destiny, when the world’s atmosphere is charged with hatred, greed and blood lust, is left at the risk of the ignorance, willfulness and personal bigotry and egotism of congressmen. It is called representative govern- ment. It is, if you and the world stand still for from two to six years—until you can turn your representation the other side up. But war waits on no nation. as "A SORRY CONFESSION | 667 HAVE been a voter for 31 years,” says Henry Ford, ‘and in all that time | have voted only ‘Six times, and then because my wife made me.” It is a shameful confession for a professed patriot and lover ot men, and, incidentally, it is What wht has such a man to talk about the danger of ' national preparedness and the getting of men out of ‘the trenches? He fails to perform his highest duty "as an American and that failure is not atoned for the fact that he pays for industrial justice in wages to his employes. Donated justice is one thing. Justice estab- overnment is quite another. No sort financial circumstances of individuals. Mr. Ford has given some strong proof of his | belief in industrial justice and failed to take the right way to reach it. His way is to give. The right way is to secure it as a matter of principle and good government. It would be mighty interesting to know how Mrs. Ford made Henry vote those six times in 34 years.

Waldorf Astor will be “especially pleasing to Americans.” “Amusing” would be the right word for it. Americans cannot work up much pleasure or feel- ing of being honored by the gift of title to a fellow who expatriated himself and who gets the title simply because he is very rich. The American sen- timent is pretty much what it would be had William bought a pig and put it in his parlor. George’s advisers would do well to consider what effect Astor's “elevation” has on British titled circles. The pleasure of the latter, just now, must be somewhat modified by the cheapening of titles, It is to grin, so far as real Americans are concerned.
