he received or worship devoted to him as Idol of the World, or the priceless blessing of the blessed covenant or the Immortality of his name, cannot be weighed against the situation an absence of the president Imposes on the
'country. He should be where bis duties are and where
they can only be performed. Mr. Wilson and Mr, Wilson's devotees will answer that the president felt the pressure of an imperative duty to go abroad to save the world. Give him all the credit that can be Imagined for that. But the next president who goes abroad for sir months or a year or half his term may go for purposes and In tfursuit of designs far less exalted. It may be on a health Jaunt, to study art in Paris or as a jollyone of an excursion to gay capitals or as a solemn member of a holy pilgrimage to Palestine. No matter what, he may go. remain long, return as he lists and answer the question to nobody not even of congress. Such an abuse could grow. Mr. Wilson has set the precedent and succeeding
fractures of the hitherto unbroken tradition will come

A NEW FOREST PROBLEM. Te demand for liynber for rebuilding in Europe will work havoc !n American forests unless some precautionary measures are taken to prevent it. This is the dictum of Col. Henry Graves. Chief of the United States Forest Survey, who has Just returned from a trip to investigate conditions abroad. The dictates of generosity make it seem a selfish thing to deny the needy countries all of our timber which
may seem necessary for their rebuilding contracts; but
as a matter of fact, the United States cannot do this without seriously diminishing its own supply for years to come.

necessity for such a restriction, not provided a mere' tar
get for partisan aim. For a period of more than seven montns tr.e president has been absent from his seat and the countryexcept a few days in latter February and early March, when he returned to see the last congress go out and to complete its work with his signature. Mr. Wilson has not been president of the United States during this long perlodelse than In name. He has bossed his cabinet and its departmental subordinates, made some appointments and delivered speeches in the name of the nation, but he has not been on the job. , No one has been on the job. Not even the vice president has been on the job as, during the absence of Mr. Wilson, he should have been. The president in no wise nor in the least degree abated his presidency, though it was Impossible that, in the old world for moths he should discharge its functions. He was neither ,here to do so himself nor would he permit the vice president to do so, notwithstanding good authority has held that Mr: Marshall should have asserted himself under that provision of the constitution which requires him to discharge the duties of the president when that functionary is unable to perform those official labors which Mr. Wilson, three thousand miles away, manifestly was not. It has nothing to da with the case that Mr. Wilson went abroad self-appointed to a high mission- Any question of the Importance and value of his services as America's chief envoy at the peace conference, or esteem of
ible for failure to mitigate it. Following the demonstrations in Italy it is suggestive that the food issue may shortly transcend all. other questions in Continental Europe. The peoples there have been accustomed to hold the governments responsible for failufe to mitigate it, and the fialure to check profiteering is a grevience that will not be denied. The territorial policies and ambitions of the statesmen may not be accepted as a substitute.
NOT READ. Following the publication of Taffs reply to Senator Lodge, the New York Sun interviewed all senators who could be reached and found that thirteen out of nineteen Republican senators and fourteen out of twenty Democrats had not even read the Taft article. Evidently the senators are more interested in reading the treaty than in reading Mr. Taft's Interpretation of it. And, moreover, most of them seem to think it unwise to ratify a treaty that needs interpretation-
THERE is an excess of 33,000,000 pounds or frozen poultry in storage over what there was last year- Eggs have gone up in price five cents in the Hammond restaurants. But please don't say anything about profiteering. It annoya Mr. Wilson's administration.
THE Czechs are reported to be getting results In their dealings with the food profiteers. They quiz the

The following letter was written to I
the Carnegie Steel Co., a U. S. Steel subsidiary, by the head of the board of directors of tha steel -corporation: ' Judge Gary's letter, dste New Tork, September 18, Is as follows: "Not long since I respectfully declined to meet for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining to labor at our various plants a number of gentleman representing certain labor unions. They claim this furnishes cause for complaint and have stated that they intend, if possible, to prevent a continuance of operations at our mills and factories. "I deem it proper to repeat In a letter what heretofore has been said to .you verbally. I entertain no feeling of animosity toward the gentlemen personally and would not hesitate to meet thm as individuals, but I did not and do not consider it proper to confer with them
under the circumstances. QTZSTZOXTB ATTTHOSXTT OT IQV. "The declination was made for two reasons: First, because I did not believe the gentlemen were authorized to speak for large numbers of our employes, whose interests and wishes are of prime Importance; secondly, because a conference with these men would have been treated by them aa a recognition of tha "closed shop" method of employment. "We do not combat labor unions as such. We do not negotiate with labor unions, because it would indicate the closing of our shops against non-union labor, and large, numbers of our work
men are not members of unions and do not care to be. "The principle of 'open shop' Is vital to the greatest industrial progress and prosperity. It Is of equal benefit to em
ployer and employe. It means every man may engage In any line of employment that he selects, and under such
terms as he and the employer may agree
upon; he may arrange for the kind and I
character of work which he believes will bring to him the largest compensation and the most satisfactory conditions, depending upon his own merit and disposition. UNIONS USTUCT ACTTOHS. "The 'closed shop' means that no mat) can obtain employment in that shop except through and upon tha terms and conditions impoesd by the labor unions. He is compelled to Join the union and to submit to the dictation of its leader before he can enter the place of business. "If he joins the union he Is then restricted by Its leader as to place of work, hours cf work (and therefore amount of compensation) and advancement in p"osition, regardless of merit, and sometimes, by the dictum sf tha union leader,' called out and prevented
from working for days or weeks, although he has no real grievance, and hs and his family are suffering for want of the necessities of life. In short, hs is subjected to the arbitrary direction of the leader, and his personal Independence is gone. Personal ambition to succeed and prosper is stifled. CAN'T AJrrORO "CIsOSED SHOP." "This country will not stand for the 'closed shop.' It would signify decreased production, increased cost of living and Initiative, development and enterprise dwarfed. It would be the beginning of industrial decay, and an injus
tice to the workmen themselves, who
prosper only when Industry succeeds. The 'open shop' will generally be ap-
