Cuban Treaty HeadWinds

1t is reported from Washington that
the question as to giving effect to the
Cuban treaty when ratified is troubling
the statesmen who have arrived at the
national capital to attend the extra
session of congress.
Last year the claim of the house to
participation in the process of ratifi-
cation was settled by the amendment
brought in by the senate to the effect
that the treaty should not take effect
until approved by congress-, AS con-
gress is body comprising the senate
and house, that settled the debate
about the constitutional right Of the
house to assist in giving effect to the
treaty, based upon the fact that the
theory Of our tariff laws is that the
duties are revenue measures and the
Cuban treaty affects revenue measures
by the reduction of regular tariff
duties in favor of Cuba. 1t was agreed
last year that the senate should ratify
the treaty and that the house should
originate a bill carrying into effect
the section involving change of rev
enue. The whole contention grew out
of an apparent contradiction Of the
terms of the constitution (Article i,
Section Z, and Article 2, Section a..
in which it is provided that all bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the
house. while the president, by and
with the consent and advice of the
senate, shall have power to make
treaties, provided two-tfirds Of the
senate concur. The provision of Sec
prerogative Of the senate. The house,
which originated the tariff measure,
has the right Of approval or disap-
proval of revenue changes made by
the senate.
In the discussion Of the treaty in
the senate there was pretty general
opinion expressed that the treaty could
not become effective until after legis-
lation by bill or joint resolution. in
which both houses Of congress should
concur. Senator Allison and others
cited several reciprocity treaties in
which the cooperation Of both houses
of congress had been secured, because
revenue changes were involved, and
Senator Teller and others commended
that the legislative enactments en-
bodied in the treaty (for example. the
provision that the reduction on Cuban
sugar should not be more than 20
per cent during the term of the treaty
and that no reduction Of the duty be
I.allowed on sugar imported from any
other foreign country can be repealed
at any time by congress, just as any
statute may be repealed, If congress
so wishes.
Congressman Tawney made the
same contention yesterday, and he
would seem to be right, as he is touch
ing the proposition to give the treaty
effect BY joint resolution of senate and
house. That proposition may as we'll
be dropped and the agreement Of last
year should be adhered to, viz, the
senate ratify and the house originate
a bill carrying into effect the treaty's
revenue-changing terms.

A large portion of the footballing pub
lie will hope that the suggestion Of a
post season game between Michigan and
Minnesota--in the event that both remain
undefeated-be not lightly brushed aside
by those who have the power to bring it
about There are some good arguments
against a post-season game, but A1neri-
cans like defniteness. They like to win
or suffer defeat, rather than argue as to
which is the better man or the better
team. 1t was satisfaction to every
lover Of football to know last year that
Michigan was the undisputed champion
of the west.

The Merger and the Governorship.

Governor Van SAINT gave out an in
yesterday in which he said
! tHat the next governor of Minnesota
q ught to stand for the enforcement of
the law. What is there about that to
find fault with? That interview, how
ever, has already stirred up a st. Paul
apologist for the merger and pro-
voked it to the utterance of senti-
ments which are calculated to be en-
bdrrassing for any candidate which
it may support. 1t exhibits so clearly
the attitude of hostility assumed by
that publication toward any effort to
hold the merger amenable to the law
that any candidate to whom it may
give it's support is in danger of being
strongly suspected of entertaining the
same sentiments.
And yet every one knows that this
principle Of enforcing the law against
culiar to Minnesota. The national adj
nlinistration has taken quite as adj
vanced ground, and, owing to peculiar
legal questions involved, has made
more progress toward enforcing the
law against the merger than the state
has yet accomplished. Surely no
candidate for the office of governor
of this state would dare to place him
self in the attitude of hostility or even
of cool Indifference to the policy of
law enforcement for which President
Roosevelt stands. The republicans of
Minnesota would have a nice time in
the campaign of 1904 supporting
Roosevelt for president and merger
candidate for governor.
A favorite contention of merger
apologists is that the merger issue is
In the courts and not in politics.
There might be something in that if
1T were not for the repeated. and posi-
tive declaration of merger managers
that the merger will not be aban-
doned no matter what the decision of
the supreme court may be; that if the
Northern Securities company be dis
solved as illegal some other means
will be discovered of accomplishing
the same result.

Restrict Temptations and 0pportu'
mites.

The charter commission is admit
ted by one Of it's members to be acting
on the theory that councils are a
necessary evil of local government.
That being the case, obviously, the
correct line Of procedure is to reduce
the evil to a minimum-to restrict the
powers Of the council as much as pos
sible.
1t Is too much to act on the theory
that every alderman is a boodler In
fact or embryo, but it is all right to
reduce to a minimum the temptation
to which an alderman may be sub
ject. The council ought to be a de-
Lucrative and legislative body pure
and simple. It should be divorced
from the executive and administra
tive branch of municipal government.
The more the commission lops off the
councils administrative and executive
powers, the better.
A morning contemporary which
rather overdoes an attempt to demon
strate that the charter commission has
done nothing more than excite the
amused 1nOlIeTSnCS OIL Tie puUllC
renders service, however, in
pointing out that aldermanic cor
ruption in Minneapolis has largely
arisen from the power a few corrupt
aldermen have where two-thirds or
three-fourths majority is required.
The requirement Of a three-fourths
vote for street opening, for example,
puts it in the power, often, of two or
three members to hold up persons or
corporations asking for concessions
that are often perfectly legitimate in
themselves. According to stories that
are often told and generally believed
it has sometimes happened that cor
porations have found 1t necessary
(from their point of view to pay a
bunch of boodlers to line up with the
respectable majority of the council.
If such questions were left to the de-
cision of a majority Of the aldermen,
the boodler's opportunities to ply his
trade would be greatly restricted.

In Canada they do not play the Amer
lean game of football, but play instead
the game from which our game was
evolved. This fact has prevented inter
national football matches. But last Mon
day the Winnipeg Shamrocks, after a
hasty attempt to master the American
rules, went to Grand Forks and played
the eleven of the University .,of North
Dakota OF course, the college boys put
it all over the Winnipeggers, who, never
theless, played a plucky game, despite
the handicap Of ignorance Of the Amer
lean game. We hope that the American
game will be learned by other Canadians,
as many interesting games might then
be arranged.
