ColOradO's InsurrectiOn.

The real and only reason for order
ing United States troops into the strike
disturbed counties Of Colorado is the
confessed incapacity Of the officials Of
that State to prevent domestic vio-
lence The origin and history Of the
dispute which has eliminate in this
abasenent Of Colorado Is matter of
no consequence to the soldiery or their
Offlcers in the field. Its merits are
beyond their sphere OF influence.
The function OF the United States is
to restore peace and maintain It only
until such time as the State resumes its
functions and /. equipped TO perform Its
duties. To hasten that day by the ex-
ertion OF every inducement within his
power Is n proper and necessary Occu-
patton for the President. lie owes II
peculiarly to the people OF Colorado to
exert every power to bring about the
termination Of humiliating and dis.
turbing incident.
The administration OF Colorado may
be safely left to the electorate Of that
State. II will know how to reward
executive and legislative officers who
permitted anarchy 10 replace law and
violence to unseat peace within the Dor
ders of the State. and now find them
selves compelled to declare that n state
OF insurrection exists where they were
sworn to enforce order.

Justice in New York has had one ex.
perience in convicting CHARLES BECKER
Of murder in an atmosphere of hate.
That experience was unjust to the
accused. injurious to our legal system
and expensive to the taxpayers, No

BECKER Is to he put on trial again
next week. Public interest in the pro
ceedings will be almost as great ms II
was when he was originally brought to
the bar. Is 1t too much to ask OF all
who are concerned In his prosecution
and defence that they assume n per
sonal and professional demeanor In
keeping with the gravity OF his cause
and refrain, inside and outside the
court room, from such activities as are
calculated TO prejudice his case?

Bold Assumption OF Responsibility
for the DOings Of Death.

Ambassador PAGES magazine, the
Worlds Work. presents this month an
article by Mr.. WILLIAM BAYARD HALE
on President WILSON'S policy in Mex
leo. The article Is entitled Our
Moral Empire in America" and 1t
manifestly was written and probably
was printed before the events which
led to the occupation of Vera Cruz.
1T would be an unhappy day for U.S."
remarks the author Of Our Moral
Empire in America" ITO put soldiers
on Mexican SOIL"
Our reason for referring to this not
very attractive piece Of writing. in
which commonplace thought finds ex-
preston in the pretentious form which
usually denotes excessive personal
vanity, Is solely on account Of the pre-.
lmnary editorial statement OF Mr..
iIALE's relation to the policy he dis
cusses In Ambassador PAGES magazine.
The circumstance that Mr.. HALE Is an
employee Of that magazine, with resi-
dence mt the place Of Its publication
makes 1t seem very unlikely that the
subjoined explanation was prefixed to
his article without his knowledge and
consent:
Perhaps no one except the President
himself Is entitled TO speak with greater
authority upon the problems OF Latin
America and the relation of our Govern
ment toward the Latin American repub-

Others. though content that treaties
should be made in the mode proposed,
are averse to their being tho supreme
laws Of tho land. They insist and pro-
fess to believe that treaties. like acts
Of Assembly, should be repealable at
pleasure. This idea seems to be new
and peculiar TO this country: but new
errors As we'll as new truths often APP
pear. These gentlemen would do well
to reflect that . treaty 10 only another
name for a bargain; and that It would
be impossible to find a nation who
would make any bargain with us which
should be binding on them absolutely
but on us only so long and 30 far as
We may think proper to be bound by 1t.
They who mako laws may. without
doubt, amend or repeal them; and 1t
will not be disputed thar they who
make treaties may alter or cancel them:
but still let US not forget that treaties
are made not only by one OF the con-
tracing parties but by both. and con-
seQuently that a. tho consent Of both
was essential to their formation at frst
SO must It over afterward be to alter
or cancel them. The proposed Consti-
tuition. therefore. has not in the least
extended the obligation Of treaties. They
are Just As binding. and just as far be-
yond the lawful reach Of legislative acts
now. as they will be At any future Pc
