To the average citizen unfamiliar
with the possibilities of hair-splitting
statesmanship and mindful only OF the
most direct route by which TO reach an
end. any delay over the ratification of
the treaty Of peace with Spain seems
incomprehensible on whatever ground.
Actually a state of war exists until the
peace treaty Is signed and our govern
ment has not the excuse left to Spain
that the legislative. branch is not i'm

will be ratified. Many of the anti-ex-
pansionists are i'm favor OF postponing
the issue they make until it is ratified,
until peace is concluded in form as well
as in fact. And yet there are Senators
