IT lkA y H V tf i 8r ly IV 4 WISOrS TRIP HAS , HOTED PRECEDENTS Speecfr-Maklng Journey in Lino ';'" With Examples Beginning With Monroe FRAUGHT WITH IMPORT Bu o Blaff Correspondent Washington, Aug. 30. The sticech-makinf- tour pf the country which l'rcs idont Wilson will start next AVcdnesilay will be the greatest thing of its Kind ever undertaken by a President o the United States. In the thirty days or so that President "Wilson will be gone from Washington In waking the twentytivc-odd speeches he will not cover nearly so much ground as President McKlnley did on n cro-s country tour In 1001, or President Itoosevelt in 1003, or President Taft in 1011. , , But the immense importance of the questions which hang in the balance, depending upon the acceptance or re jectlon of the appeals President Wilson will make to the people in his speeches dealing with the peace treaty and league of nations, the high cost of living and the general strike situation have no equal in history. "Upon the series of speeches President Wilson will make from const to eoat 'may depend the future peace of the whole world and the future domestic welfare of the people of the entire United States as directly nuVetul by our international relations nnd cost of living and earnings. Living Cost, and Wages While the primary purpose of the President's tour will be to ohlniu the support of the people for the pun. treaty and league of nations as a means of whipping the Senate into line, it i eertaln he will touch tcry liberally upon the other two burning subjects befor the American people toda the big i rost of living and the wages of workeit.. ' The President is expected to force homo some solid arguments against profiteering in foodstuffs that will lime a noticeable moral eftect In stemming .the rise In food prices and to place the 'national economic situation before the people in such away as to halt tem porarily at least the clamor on nil sides for Increased wages or htiiUcs. Presidential Precedents President Monroe as the lu-st Amei lean President to make an extended journey. In the summer of 1S17 lie left Washington and MtciI all the states and the principal fortil'uatinu. He was rowed up the Dc'.awnie inn from Wilmington to the Philadelphia navy ard in a barge of the frigate Franklin. The barge was lined and trimmed with crimson olet and was rowed by sixteen oersnu'ii. diessed in scarlet ests, with white sleces mid trousers. His route lid him through New York. New Haeii. Hartford.

He took the southern mute to Los Angeles, stopping at the princi pal cities en route, nnd visited San Francisco. Portland nnd Seattle. He then took the northern route home Since Harrison the people of the far West have expected to get at least one look at each President during his ad ministration. The longest tour ever tnken by an American President wns that of Theo dore Roosevelt In 1003, when he trav eled 14,000 miles. Beginning on April 1, 1003, he took the northern route west and the Routhern route home, made forty stops nnd returned to the White House on June 5. Roosevelt First to Cross Line President Roosevelt wns the first American President to rcallj leac the borders of the United States when he xvent to the Pnnaiua 1'aual Zone to make an inspection of the canal. Presi dent Cleveland and other, only sailed a short distance beyond the three-mile limit from the coast. William McKlnley was the first Pres ident; to make anything like a 10,000 mlle tour. On April 20. 1001, accom panied by a distinguished imitj. he left Washington, visiting Memphis. Xew Orleans, San Antonio, San Francisco, Seattle, Butte, Salt Lake City, Den ver, Kansas City, Chicago, Buffalo nnd several other cities, and returned to "Washington on June 15, after lowring lO.fiSO miles and making almost in- v i. numerable speeches in behalf of his re- ,-t1 t . . . 'election. The second longest tour eer taken by an American President was that of William H. Taft, who in the autumn of 1011 covered 13,000 miles nnd made speeches In all the principal cities of the Pacific coast nnd Middle West in nu effort to secure re-election. After the tour made by President .,Monroe no President attempted such n 'journey until President Andrew Jaek " json in June, 1833, went out to dupli cate Monroe's trip, but became' ill after getting as far ns Xew Hampshire and was forced to give up. "Old Hickory accompanied by a number of his friend aucf peveral of) bis cabinet officers. started for a visit to the middle Atlantic j atld northeastern states.

Tho President Under Quiz The country forced the two together. The President was quizzed, not boldly, out quizzed. lie answered frankly, like the humblest of witnesses; In fact, moro frankly than most witnesses be foro Congressional committees. The press stood in the ante-room. (A certain sacrcdness hedges about this new function In spite of this age of open diplomacy.) The words of the nugust witness were rushed out to the natives. A way had been found to make the one-nun government render an ac counting. An extraordinary tiling, the signifi cance of which one can jet only dimly guess had taken place. A new point of cohtuet hud been established between President nnd Congress. Congress has assumed n new function between the public nnd the executive. The countij has now through a com mittee of Congress a means of Inter pellating the executive. It has cen tered power nnd responsibility In the hands of the executive. It has now n means, rudimentary indeed, but still a means of checking up the use of the power it has lodged in the executive. An Entering Wedge To be sure the thing has only been done once and in the case where a president has chosen to be his negotiator in making a treaty. Hut wane nu uc-eu lone once may be done many times. Whnt has been done witli ropcci co treatj making may be done with respect U aii one of the functions the Presi dent exercises. The important thing is mat me con entriitioii of power lias produced a cer iiin rcnetion almost certain iu a healthy democracy, the development; oi a myuus f establishing prompt rcsponsiunuy for the use of thnt power. The President is no longer free mirelv to make speeches nt us from the rear platform of a train for which his liartj managers paj , upon n route carc fulh chosen by his party managers as ceitain to be fertile In votes. He must take the stand before the entire nation and submit to be questioned by repre sentatives of the people, including men of the opposite part. The compulsion is theie plain ns da. If we go on having presidents like Mr Wilson, autocratic presidents, great men chosen to meet great emergencies, "ml endowed with nil the authority that U,c concentration of popular coiibdencc upon them gives, then we are like y to m. the interpellation of presidents ns ' "nerd Tuesday for the first t me in history bj the Senate foreign relations committee. Dilemma and Solutions There are now apparently two ways out of the dilemma into which our s cady aggrandizing of the executive has .rented, a dilemma which caused the e U e country to hesitate in the last Congress election to call a halt, and ask if it had not gone too far iu the di icction of one-man governmet.

"'n " the congressional investigation. Ees Opened by Last FJectlon The la'st election opened the eyes of the politicians Tt opened the eyes of the Piesideut. It opened the ejes of Congress, espi chilli the Republicans In Congress The country wanted some thing done to redress the balance upset by the war Congress must be stronger. It must count for something in the sthenic of things. Congress set about being strong, by tin owing out its chest, bv posturing, bv talking about "equality." by stuffing the foreign re lations committc", the committee chal lenging just now lite President, with all the professional strong men avail able. The President set about meeting the iritieism thnt he had been too auto crntic bv smiles andboksnnd courtesies, bv a new "graeiousness." Both were mildli ridiculous. President Senses Opportunity Congress might have been really htiong and asked the President to ap pear before the Senate foreign relations committer, ns a pence delegate, at his own time and plnre, of course. Congress would lime redressed the balance at one stroke. The President might have been really gracious and offered to appear before the committee nt its option of time and place. He didn't. He sent mi "intimation" of willingness, how ever, and by so doing showed he still had a little keener sense of political op nortunties than his rivals. The difficulty with great power Is the difficulty of rendering nn accounting of jour (stewardship The President found u way of reading an accounting of his stewardship bv submitting to being interpellated. He made the road of the aggrandized Executive easier for the future. lie extended the power thnt Congress is slowly tending to de veloii under the new conditions, that of (heck upon the Executive, that of pub lic ' inquisition, the nations cross-examiner. Not a Happy Opening Tiie beginning was not the happiest in the world.

A iiangH la .ungianu rest upon me una foundation of public heckling. Wo Americans, or rather our politicians, nre bad questioners.. An Investigation by a congrcsionnl Investigating committee Is one of the feeblest forms of mental exercise. Pour-fifths of the committee arc lazy. They know nothlug of the matter in hand. There is no party diclpllnc con trolling them, , There Is no committee discipline. Everyone is free to ask questions in tu,rn or out of turn. Every one may interrupt. Questioning Buns Wild The most intelligent line of ques tioning is likely to be broken into by Foolish Question Number 4,11,44 pro pbunded by a man whose intellect Is one of the jests ot Washington. The inquiry jumps all over the lot. It touches Shantung. It moves instantly to the Snrro Valley. It goes back to Shantung. In a moment it is at Arch angel. Then again nt the Sarro Val ley, then at Shantung, then at Upper Silesia then at Shantung, then nt Plume, then at the Sarre Volley. It seems to have been, dovised to make the getting of information difficult nnd to develop tlft art of political camouflage. In addition, interpellating the Presi dent is an awesome task, A senator a-klng the President questions Is' for all the world like a schoolboy catechis ing his master, or worgo, for there Is a measure of irrevcrenco In the schoolboy nature which no senator in the foreign relations committee has In his make-up, except Senator Brandagec. The awn of the presidential office on the Capitol Is greater than the awe of (!od iu nny church in America. Some say it is awe of the mind of the present occupant of the presidential chair. But however thnt Is, there It Is, awe, awe that makes the tongue" cleave to the roof of the mouth, owe that makes you self-conscious nnd cnuses you to stam mpr out apologies, awe that prevents j on from following suggestion'. President -Baiting Needed If the interpellation is to mean much in our public life there must grow up a good healthy custom of President-baiting on the witness stand. Congres sional committees muit get over their awe and must ask questions with 7enl. And tho press must be present, not in the ante-room, to do the occasion jus tice. Once you have this situation Con gress Is restored to its ancient dignity. Its functions are somewhat changed, but it will be powerful. It will have its popular following. There will be room for strong men in it. And a check upon autocracy will eist. Autocracy that has to go on the witness stand nnd Mibmit patiently to being questioned is unthinkable. The critics of our Institutions who snw that some way must be established by which our legislative should be able to question our executive saw trulv. Only they were deceived by the European or, more particularly, the British analogy. Cabinet Officers Only Clerks It would do us no good to have cabi net officers sit in the Congress nnd be subject to questioning there. Cabinet officers are not the government in this country. They are clerks of the gov ernment. At their negligible work when ques tioned they yield tho results Secretary Lansing yielded when questioned the other day by the foreign relations com mittee. At their most evasive best they yield the significant results that Secretary Baker jiclded when questioned by the Sennte military nffalrs committee iu 1018. A cabinet officer never can talk frankly. He docs not know enough. He has to seem to be the final authority when he isn't. Interpellation by Committee Moreover, the real work of Congress is done in committee. Interpellation must be by committee. Our committee liiicstigntion is the American equiva lent of the British system of direct in terpellation on the floor of the Parlia ment. Committee investigation has been carried nn important step further. The real government in America has been virtually forced by public opinion to t,o before a congressional committee nnd submit to inquiry. A congressional committee has bren forced to lay aside Its stnndoffishncss nnd its pretense of impotence and ex amino tho President. It has done o timorously.

LABOR UNRESTMS SPRAGINSTEELTRADE Main Issue Is Unionism Rather Than Increase of Pay, Iron Masters Say DEMAND IS FALING. OFF Pltbhurgli, Aug. 30. Activity In the Iron nnd steel trade is at a reduced pnee, duo In most part to labor unrest. Through the settlement or abandonment of stocks in various sections, there Is nn increased number of resumptions and, for the present, the labor situa tion is generally improved. Tho out come of the proposed general strike of men of the Federation of Labor in the ttteel mills Is still In doubt. Steel manufacturers feel that wages now be ing paid should be considered quite satisfactory. With the men, however, the question seems to bo more of union izing the steel industry rather than a question of wages. In most lines, manufacturers, despite falling off in demand, have order iooks comfortably filled, and with tho outlook uncertain, are not concerned much about orders for 1020 or prices. Outside of the Inbor question, there is the matter of finnnring ns well as transportation nrnMnms. inclinllnL' n car shortage. In view of these conditions, steel manufac turers who are sold up for two or three months ahead, or even longer, do not feel, thnt there is nny widsom In com mitting themselves further, and in sev eral lines, principally pipe, wire prod ucts, bars and sheets, some makers nrc nut of the market. The Carnegie Steel Company is taking no contracts for forward delivery of ingots, billets, slabs and sheet bars. In most lines contracts running into next year nrc refused for the present. It is almost Impossible for the chance or occasional buyer to place an order. Such business as is put through is almost wholly be tween mills and their regular customers of years' standing. Under the circumstances mere is lit tle talk of nny general advance iu prices. Last spring there wns tnlk of "stabil izing" iron nnd steel prices by menus more or less artificial. Present cir cumstances haic now very thoroughly stabilized niices. Price concessions lire altogether out of the question, except possibly in plates. In the case of plates, the market as a whole is firmer, but on plates for battleships 10 and CO, nearly 30.000 tons, the Carnegie Steel Compnm hid $2.50, while other .bidders nnmed $- (m. With many departments of the steel industry sold tin for months to come. even quite adverse conditions would not result in nnce declines. In several dis tricts merchant blnst furnaces have been advancing their asking prices for- pig iron, but such nctiou is always taken after the furnace becomes well sold up and any large increase in demand would doubtless result in the blowing in of Idle furnaces. While higher prices arc ueing nnmed on some steel products, there is aimarentlv no dlsnosition ninnm; leading steel manufacturers to advance prices on major products this lear. The Carnegie Steel Company is operating lorty-six ot its titty-nine blast furnaces, 07 per cent of its ingot capacity, while, its finishing capacity is being operated at about 85 per cent.

The situation abroad is only slightly chnnged and the greatly Increased de mnnds In this country nnd elsewhere cannot correct the difficulty abroad, where the mills nre only working half time becnusc of the shortage of flax. Interesting reports arc being received lu this city continually from the other side. Only a day or two ago James Uilmoifl, of .McDonald MacLeod & Co,, linen importers, New York, returned from nn extended stay in the linen sec tions of Ireland and Belgium, during which time he made an exhaustive in vestigation. In summing up the story of his trip, Mr. Gilmorc snld that the stabilization of the linen industry depends almost entirely on the flax market. This mar ket wns itcver in a greater state of un certainty than now. He bays thaC2os, HOs and 3us nnd a number of other nrns nre entirely exhnusted, and for the meager stocks found here and there In dealers' hands quotations change ciery few hours nnd always upward be cause of the neute shortage, " Speaking of the industry iu Belgium, Mr. Gil moie explains thnt that little country Is rapidly iceoveriiig nud that the linen workers nre progressing ns promptly as the yarn stocks will permit. The ilflx acreage in Beleitim is nbout .'10 nor pini of pre-war ears, which is fnr short of requirements. Belfast manufacturers are at their wits' ends in an endeavor to inciense production of linen fabrics and mer chandise made therefrom.
