| tention regarding the meaning OF the WORD
treaties and the meaning OF the Consul
tuition
Another critical question ia whether OF
not there is In the Constitution any reason
to think that its trainers and the voters In
each State who adopted II by their dele
gates, met in State convention. believe
that the word treaties" IL so separable into
two parts-one principles and the other
"details--that the Senate need not con-
slider the latter but can leave it TO the Presi-
dent and whether or not, If the Senate is 40
dilatory, fault finding and altogether cussed
in foreign affairs, it should not be altogether
excluded from participation in their con-
duct and the President be quite absolute
in making by treaty "a supreme law OF
the land
cynical pesdmist may perhaps suggest
a third critical question, which is whether
or not the American written Constitution
has become very unpopular rag
1t is probably accepted American ethics
that the President and each Senator who
has taken All oath TO support the Consu-
tuition il bound in official action to interpret
the Constitution as he understands it. The
Supreme Court cannot compel him TO aban-
bpl MS NltWs III u hAlRhtrp Ndo' wv H"'
ties ltigant must submit to the court.
| The decision becomes a rule for inferior
courts and a precedent in future liugated
cases. but the President and Congress are
not thereby bound in future legislation or
in treaty making. If the President and the
Senate differ over agreement and treaty
and the relative meaning Of each word in
the realm OF the Constitution there Ia no
common superior in our political system
besides the party organization to which
the President and Senate both belong.
The Republican party organization Is the
hoop and ito which should force together
Republican President and a Republican
Senate when they have fallen apart. IL is
the tremendous power, outside OF the law,
which prescribes candidates TO be voted for
makes political issues on one side or the
other Of which party voters must GO drives
the electorate TO the ballot boxes. and in
general runs the governmental national,
State and city. 1t is the arbitrator Of
differences between such opposing and in
dependent coordinate government forces
as now are the President and the Senate.
Arbitration seems TO be. at the present
moment, more needed between those two
domestic powers inside Of our country than
between the United States and any foreign

The Rhodes Scholars First Term In
Oxford.

The history OF the foundation of the
Rhodes scholarships is familiar TO all
who are Interested in the great educa-
tional scheme; but with the completion
of the first year Of the operation of the
endowment its actual working value
can be estimated more accurately than
hitherto.
CECIL JOIN RHODES, by whose will
the great international scholarship
scheme was endowed, was a comhina-
ton of the materialist and the idealist
the man Of hard practical business sense
and the visionary. The Rhodes endow-
ment was made in the belief that a good
understanding between England, Ger
many and the United States will secure
the peace Of the world, and that educa-
tional relations form the strongest tie. I"
Whether such political result may
properly be expected from an educa-
tional union, time alone may show; in
the meantime, it is interesting to note
the progress of those upon whose efforts
the outcome must depend.
OF the forty-three young American
students who have recently completed
their first term Of Oxford residence,
several have written letters that have

The jurisdiction of the State Superin-

How hot for arbitration the strike leaders

Some little time ago the Japanese en-
deayored 20 obtain from the Samese Gov
eminent the concession OF port to serve as
a coaling station for their ships Of war
They selected for this purpose the island
OF Koh Kram, on the east side of the entrance
to the Bay of Bangkok. at the head of the
Gulf OF Siam. The Japanese Minister at
the Siamese capital made an offer for the
purchase Of this island. The British and
French Ministers at Bangkok, on learning
Of the Japanese proposal, took immediate
alarm, and at once notified their respective
Governments. koh kram is capable of
being made a naval base Of the first class,
and it occupies commanding strategic
position.
The British Government lost no time in
making representations at Toxic that led
10 the abandonment Of the negotiations
with Bangkok; but the Siamese Govern
ment suddenly enlightened as 10 the value
and importance Of Hoh Kram, has decided
to fortify the island on its own account and
establish there a naval base Of its own.

However lamentable what is taking
place between the Local and Superior
Boards of Health may be, there is
not hing strange about it, nor should Il
occasion the least surprise.
With a regime ike the present. it
weuld be singular if what is happening
did not occur.
The abnormalities, the profound
perturbations, which SOW the seeds of
unrest everywhere and bring disorder
into all the spheres of public and
private life. are the legitimate off
spring of the chaos into which the
island has been sunk 10y the system
now in operation.
We are every day forced to witness
painful spectacles like the ones produ-
ced by those unavoidable conflicts bet
ween the various organisms. left to
chance. in the entangled confusion of
authority. Of functionaries, of boaY1s
all of them u h pompous titles, witk
many attributl1 vs., with opposed facul
ties in a confounding of powers which
lacks all kinds of prestiges because
they are rivals, and rivalry produces
discredit and dishonor.
The consequences Of this disorder
and i'll feeling are borne by the citi-
zens among whom some of them. like
Mr.. Miro. are becoming real victims.
For this municipal funtionary, it
would seen as if constitutional qua
rantees and individual rights has been
suspended; daily, constantly he has
been imprisoned without his knowing
the cause of his arrest, nor what the
reasons are for the many denunciations
made against him.
Although We d not live in feudal
times, we have these cases of ass
aults against citizens; organizations
created for the defence and protec
tisn of the community coverted into
threatening prosecutors of this same
community which should be defended
and protected.
But this is self explanatory. The
system cannot legitimstely produce
anything different from what is now
being produced
Scandals. obstacles quarrels be
tween organizations. rivalries between
the func;ionaries who ought to have
no other aim than that of the public
service; perturbations of all kinds,
brutal anomalies, unbridled acts, due
10 lack of respect for the law and
fsmented by the powers.
We are com PEELED lo say this', by
necessity il is ne, esSary to confess
that what is happening is inevitable
nd that it is essential to demand a
radical change and reform, 50 radical
and so complete that at the same time
we can escape the danger of a repiti-
tion of occurrences like those which
we are lamrnting today.
1t is not question of curing the ills
from which the Ahole country is suf-
fering, by useless household remedies.

Plasters and potions have lost their
efficacy, Now we need. more heroic,
more scientific measures than those re-
recommended by charlatans and quacks.
The evil has gone too deep, has
|capsed serious harm, has produced
such great contsgion, that it requires
drastic remedies. The salutary, the
|eAicacious, and the indispensable one
lis that which has been indicated:
change of regime.
In this wav the germs, the unheal-
thy germs, which have takek root SO
deeply, thriving in an atmosphere
foully pestilential. will not fad favor
able conditions for their alarming
development.
A radical change, that cleanscs all,
that purifies everything, that SURF
ounds it with new air, purer atmosp-
here and healthier Surroundings is
what is needed in the present circuns-
|tances, seeing the failure that has
|overtaken all our institutions.
A chang of regime which guaran %
tees the rights Of citizens and observes
respect for the law; that will not con-
sent to tho improper acts of certain
functionaries who pretend to exercise
the wicked monopoly of violating the
laws in behalf of SO called american
ization without any other object than
THAT of acclimatizing foreign festl-
vols with ruinous waste of the money
of the people, and who display sus-
picious energy and zeal when 1t comes

Bad examples are like plaques and

For this the Secretary Of Porto Rico,
even though he believes that the re-
