Thv responsibilities of the ¡’resi

added as a sort of «de issue, but he
must maintain amicalile relations
with all the other nations of the
world. A mind big enough to take
in ths- vastm-wi of these responaHdli-
ties must be remarkably compre
hensive. But if we arid to the»-
manifold duties that of conducting
the greatest war of all history, the
burden a*sum«*s a proportion so col-
<swal that the ordinary human biped
cannot comprehend it.
President Lincoln had an enor
mous burden to bear in the conduct
of the Civil war. Up to that time
the Civil war was. of alt the wars of
the world, the greatest
More men
were employed tn the business of
war than ever l»ei<>re. The long list
of casualties, when a great batUe
was fought, made all other wars
seem but pigmies in com|«rison.
Roughly estimated, nearly 4.<HM>.000
of men were devoted to the busi
ness of war during the four years
*61 to .66, la*ing the largest bodies
of men engaged in actual war in the
history of the world up to that lime
Nor was President Lincoln's ad
ministration free from criticism.
Trusted officials failed in efficiency
and accusatmos of graft and dishon
esty were of almost daily occurrence
Troops were all within our own land,
yet there was frequent lack of sup
plies. During the first two years of
the war our troops were woefully
deficient in proper arms as well
President Wilson has a many
times bigger job than had President
Lincoln
It it a bigger job because
of the larger armv which will prob
ably be sent afield. It ia a bigger
fob because thia army is being sent
tn Europe and must be supplied
with food and munitions of war sent
oyer from this side. It is a bigger
job pecause ships must be built with
which to send these troops and sup
plies across the water. It ia a big
ger job because railroad» in private
hands proved inefficient
for the
work required and the goverment
was forced tc> take over and operate
the entire railroad business.
Having tn assume this enormous
responsibility it would be most re
markable if there were not manv
instances where the Wilson adminis
tration could be criticised <>n seem
ingly just grounds.
It would be
remarkable, indeed, if an official
here and there did not prove ineffi
cient or a grafter.
Senator Cham
berlain may have thought he had

paring an army for war. was too

President Wilson p o ss e ss es a re
markably comprehensive mind. Per
haps no other man in the nation un
derstands the war in all it* bearings
as well as be.
And. perhaps, no
other man in the nation ia au well
calculated to care for the interest*
of world democracy a* Wood row
Wilson, and it ia a surety that no
other national ruler will have great
er influence when the final peace
terms are arranged than he.
Anvway. Mr Wilson is president,
and the people believe he will carry
our nation through to the successful
conclusion of the war in a manner
satisfactory to the democracy of the
world. And ahouM some <>f his cale
inet or officials under him not meas
ure up to the standard nom«- admin
istration critics may set up. we
must remember that the war has
added tremendously to both thr war
and navy department*, ami it would
be a matter of surprise if some offi
cial docs not prove derelict.
President Wt!s«in, no doubt, will
welcome criticism if given in the
right spirit and for the purpose of
making the «ervice better.
But if
the criticism is given in a partisan
spirit and to discredit thr adminis
tration. such crilirum is. probably,
unwelcome. Upon the wh.»4c, the
president is receiving a hearty and
lovai support, irrrs|M-ctive of politi
cal affiliation.

Napoleon broke this solemn en
gagement when he eecaped from El
