The following is what some of the
southern newspapers think of the
president, as expressed editorially
With the, heading "Under Watch
and Pistol," the Greenville (S. C.)
News says: v
One hundred million American
citizens, who had most at stake, were
not consulted by their representatives
in the congress of the United States
who Saturday surrendered their legis
lative power The country
has paid dear for this "peace at any
price." A most dangerous precedent
has been established. Where will
this policy of surrender end?
If this statement had been ex
pressed by a republican paper none
of us would wonder, but when It
comes from a leading democratic
newspaper of a southern state, in fact
the state which fired the first gun
in the civil war, it shows the senti
ment of the people, irrespective of
politics, irrespective of sectionalism,
irrespective of everything but wish
ing and praying for a man to uphold
the nation's dignity and honor.
From the Newport News (Va.)
Daily Press we get the following

From the leading daily or Mem-j

ment of tho case headed "Better for!

It would have been better for the i
soul of the republic if the brother-!
hoods had forced the railroads to
grant all their demands rather than I
use the machinery or the state to
bring about the results achieved. :
When tho south doesn't support j
Wilson, who will?
An.l then tomes Roosevelt iu his
great speech In Battlo Creek, Mich.,
last Saturday who referred to the
president as "a m:in of words." He
further charged that President Wil
son "sacrificed tho national honor"!
because he feared to psy the price of ;
upholding it. Roosevelt also inado
nils ph. m statement: "President
Wilson i Med to the dictation of the
heads ef tho brotherhood and made
no effurt to find out wheUier tho de
mand ;ils right or wrong.
The settlement was due partly to
fear and purlly to hopo of political
profit."
Ti..- Mif.t is Inclined to think that
the political sldo of tho question was
a m .Iter of groat moment when the
president sacrificed all principles of
arbitration and made his grantstand
play for tho union labor vote. The
I-rin. ir.le of tho eight-hour day was
not nt issue but was invoked nerely
to clcik the real Issue and to play
politics.

Mr. Benson entertains strong hopes

Slnco tho Warren Construction did

standfi a good chance to be "busted,"
