OF averting II.
These treaties do not delegate away from
the Senate the power Of advice and consent
with which It is vested by our federal Con-
stitutlon. When each individual question
arises the Senate is bound simply TO deter
mine that questions justiciability. For that
purpose the joint high commission comes
into being, and not till them. The Senate
thus exerts its full treaty making junction
end more by sitting on that commission
through tho persons Of fits own chosen
agents. And though the Senate is bound
10 arbitrate in case the question Is FOUND
justicisbe. the question cannot be found
iusticiable without the consent Of all but
one Of the agents OF the Senate itself. Thus
the Senate is practically empowered to de-
eide in each case whether it Is willing TO
arbitrate at all. So true Is this indeed. that
Germany, now seeking a similar treaty with
us. regards the obstructing power OF our
Senate as more likely to be unduly enlarged
thereby than to be unduly abridged.

PUBLIC MURDER.

Gcudish offences ever perpetratcd BY citi-

REPUBLICAN, DUTY.

Because OF reports that upstate Re
publican legislators would vote for the
Tanmauy- Gaynor charter. Mr.. Kracke,
the new head of the Kings County Re
publican organization, has sought TO en-
list State Chairman Barnes In the fight
Nj Kracke takes the ground that the
welfare Of Brooklyn demands that this
proposed charter be thrown into the
waste basket, and that it is the duty Of
the Republicans unitedly to help in that
Commendable act.
1t would be peculiarly unfortunate
for himself and for the Republican party.
if any Republican legislator should vote
for the proposed charter 1t is Tam
many Hall charter-a ripper charter
with provisions dangerous politically and
vicious from an administrative point Of
view It would rob duly elected officials
Of the powers which the voters con
ferred on them, for the benefit Of Tam
many Hall and the Democrats in Office
II would open the door 10 extrava gance
and encourage corruption in the hand

and members Of party now in the mi
nority the Republicans in the Legislat-
ure are in duty bound TO stand as one
man against this vicious charter. They
owe il 10 the Experimentation city
officials they owe it 10 their party.
Still more. they owe it 10 the people Of
this city upon whom Tammany pur-
poses 10 foist this infamous law. If
this charter is to be damned through
the Legislature, let Tammany do the
Trimming. and let the responsibility be
undivided.

His views have changed less than the views of his party, because he entered public life from very high level of liberal theory. He has had tho satisfaction of seeing the ideals of his early manhood generally adopted and 10 Q considerable extent put into practice by a trlunphant majority, They have mel- lowed but have lost scarcely any of their original distnctness.

Loneliness

 There are those who dread to be alone for as much as half an hour at one time, Which is a sad confession One must greatly be lacking in mental resources who cannot entertain himself On the other hand To most of us, think, comes, every now and then an overpowering wish to be alone, not merely for half an hour, but for half a day or longer. To be sure, no one liveth to himself, and there is great need of human fei- lowship and the touch of elbows and di- version and change. But
 One who has cultivated the habit of being alone betimes, who finds a keen pleasure in doing his own sweet will, who is content to be what he Is and where he is-this one has learned one of the secrets of resourcefulness.
 For it is true, as Robert Louis Ste venson has said:
 After all, it is my not they who carry flags, but they who look upon 1t from private chamber, who have the fun of the procession
 Surely:
 Watch from your quiet place the hur- rying. sweaty crowd bursting hither and yon, and let philosophy teach you the fun of it. Watch the procession from the band wagon in front to the calli- ope in the rear. Does it not add to your pleasure that you Haunt no flags and beat no drums?
 Or list to natures teaching:
 Walk out of doors by yourself in this big world, sky overhead, God above and you! q
 Follow your freakish fancy where it leads, over highways or in byways. Open wide your soul to each impression. Make yourself as Stevenson says. pipe for any wind to blow upon" What com pany of mortals can give such pleasure?
 And the solitude of books
 Who would not wish to be much alone to live with the best and wisest souls of every age? Earth has no such company.
 And to sit still with yourself and of yourself and contemplate-it is the d. vnity that stirs within you.
 Surely it is good to be alone.
 No human was ever great or helpful or happy as he deserved who did not understand the alluring possibility of being alone.
