MR. WILSON’ S VINDICATION.
(From the Philadeiphia Record.)
It is interesting to observe that as
President Wilson's term draws to a close
the Republicans, being now assured of
the offices from which they have been
separated so long, no longer find it nec-
essary to lie about him and malign his
every action, They find some things to
commend in his record and some im-
portant precedents of his to be followed.
Thus that hardened old sinner, The
New York Herald, which has probably
taken the prize for mendacity and un.
fairness during the past eight years,
gives high praise to Secretary Colby's
note on the Yap mandate given to Ja-
pan and speaks of the “aleft, competent
and altogether admirable way in which
this matter has been handled by our
Government from the first to the last.”
It adds :
This whole paper, indeed, is a beduti-
ful piece of workmanship, radiating Am-
erican spirit and reflecting the highest
credit upon the State Department of
President Wilson's Admifiistration ia its
closing hours,
From The North American, seli-ap-
pointed custodian of the sanctity attach-
ing to everything connected with the
name of Roosevelt, we learn that, not-
withstanding the Colonel's violent op
position to the treaty awarding Colom-
bia $25,000,000 for the rape of Panama,
“President-elect Harding will favor rati-
fication of the Colombian treaty, and
will probably ask the Senate to consider
this document in the extra session of the
Senate prior to the assembling of the
whole Congress.” President Wilson
urged ratification as a matter of justice
to Colombia and to uphold the good
pame of the United States. Now the
Republican Senators will follow his rec.
ommendations, repeated "by his succes-
sor, and slight heed will be given to rea-
sons offered for Mr. Roosevelt's opposi-
tion. The dollafis now held superior to
G. O. P. consistency. As The North
American puts it :
As a fact the Colombia treaty is no
longer considered in connection with
Mr. Roosevelt's activities in Panama.
Many claims to oil and mineral lands
in Colombia established by Americans
are held up pending action upon the
treaty. A number of these claims are
represented by Pennsylvanians, and it.is
understood both Senators Kpox and
Penrose favor a termination of the con-
troversy.
Next it will be the League of Nations.
As soon as Mr. Wilson out
the Republicans will discover great mer-
it in that organization. Mr, Hughes
has always upheld it, with some reser-
vations as to Artiole X, and may be ex-
pected to urge it upon his chief.
much as Mr. Harding's ideas on the
subject are largely and are
chiefly concerned words rather
than principles, he preferring
tion” to “league,” his liescence may
be looked for after some little
save the Republicans’ face.
It begins to look as if Woodrow Wil
son will not have to wait long to behold
the splendid vindication which will come
to him after the passions of party strug-
gle have cooled and Americans begin to
appraise the value of his remarkable
achievements in a calmer spirit than has
been possible during the past two years,

HARDING'S CABINET.
The New York World is turning the
searchlight upon some of the Presigent-
elect’s prospective Cabinet appointments
in a way that is highly informative.
The record of Henry M. Daugherty,
Ohio, who is generally expected to be
the next Attorney General, is especially
interesting. This gentleman is a pro-
fessional politician, lobbyist and cor-
poration agent, and rarely makes his
appearances in Court. He pulls many
strings and has become rich, but no one
has ever accused him of being a great
lawyer, such as the Attorney General is
supposed.to be. If Mr. Daugherty is
named for this high office it can safely
be predicted that he will figure largely
as a boss machinist in the next few
