which would make you, If the need
arose, able to put your last ounce Of
pluck and strength into contest. But
I do not want you to squander these
qualities. To have you play football as
well as you do, and make good name
in boxing and wrestling, and be cox Of
your second crew, and stand second or
third in your class in the studies, is all
right. I should be rather sorry to see
you drop too near the middle of your
class, because, as you cannot enter col
lege until you are nineteen, and will
therefore be year later in entering
life, I want you to be prepared in the
best possible way, SO as to make up for
the delay. But know that all you can
do you will do to keep substantially the
position in the class that you have so
far kept, and I have entire trust in
you, for you have always deserved it.

TO my delight, yesterday, Kermit,
when I tried him on Diamond, did ex-

corner in his riding, and was just as
much at home as possible, although he
was on my saddle with his feet thrust
in the feathers above the stirrup. Poor
mother has had hard time with Yag-
enka, for she rubbed her back, and as
she sadly needs exercise and could not
have saddle put upon her, I took her
out bareback yesterday. Her gaits are
so easy that it is really more comfort
able to ride her without saddle than
to ride Texas with one, and I gave her
three miles sharp cantering and trot-
ting.

ARCHIE AND QUENTIN.
Oyster Bay,
May Z, 1901.
Blessed Ted:
Recently have gone in to play with
Archie and Quentin after they have
gone to bed, and they have grown to
expect me, jumping up, very soft and
warm in their tommies, expecting me
to roll them over on the bed and tickle
and "grabble" in them. However, it
has proved rather too exciting, and an
edict has gone forth that hereafter I
must play bear with them before sup
per, and give up the play when they
have gone to bed. Today was Archie s
birthday, and Quentin resented Arch
lie s having presents While he (Quen-
tiny had none. With the appalling
frankness of three years old, he re-
marked with great sincerity that it
made him miserable and when taken
to task for his lack Of altruistic spirit
he expressed an obviously perfunctory
repentance and said: Well, boys must

presently did run, with the result
that the President addressed to the
Italian people an appeal over the
heads of the government, with conse-
quences still to be measured.
The European powers might have
accepted the views of the Senate
and championed them against the
President, but the President alone
could negotiate a treaty, in any
event, and he was the master Of the
vast army, the powerful navy, the
incalculable resources which were
so important an element in the sit
uation year ago.
Technically, then, the European
nations might have rejected the
Presidents credentials, resisted his
leadership, recognized the legisla-
tive rather than the executive
branch Of the American government
as dominant. But practically this
was out Of the question. Such hope
as there was Of American assist
ance became a matter Of life and
death, flowed from the friendly re-

Deceiued Himself

He told them also that whatever
opposition there might be in the
Senate an appeal to the American
people would insure the passage of
the resolution Of ratification. He
believed this, his European audience
believed him, and most, if not quite
all, Of the Americans abroad at the
time confirmed his statement.
1t is clear that, technically, the
cry now coming from Europe that
the United States has repudiated an
engagement already entered into is
not accurate. 1t is equally true that
technically the countries with which
the United States negotiated the
peace treaty should have been able
to discover the anomalous situation
which enabled our legislative branch
to reject a treaty negotiated by the
Executive, and further to discover

that a customer, no matter how
vital it may be to his system, has a
great dissemination to ask a bar

seem to stick in his throat. That's
where psychology comes in.
"Now, since it is mani9estly i'm
probable that the rank and file of
citizenry will be able to tickle their
parching threats in the future with
anything stronger than Parnassus
punch and it's blood relatives, the
Hotel Majestic was confronted with
the proposition of making the act of
ordering violet drip easier for the
consumer. So from now on the
Majestic, which has been famous
for more than it's psychology, will

anarchy Is Result

The legislative branch cannot,
however, negotiate a new treaty,
while the President can, if he
chooses, reject any amendments to
the treaty and can refuse to accept
any settlement which departs in any
degree, even the smallest, from his
own views. Now, taking the situa-
ton at its highest possible level,
eliminating partisan and personal
considerations, assuming for the mo-
ment that both the President and
the majority of the Senate are act
ing with equal sincerity, good faith,
patriotism, each believing its own
solution not merely the best but the
single one conforming to the stand
ards OF national honor ana lnJerna-
tlonal peace, the result is anarchy in
the world so far as the United
States is concerned. We lose our
vote, we lose our chance to partici-
pate and, in the present case, we de-
lay the return to peace all over the
world, since all nations desire our
participation.
So far the single logical sugges-
ton of an escape from the deadlock
comes from Senator Lodge, who
proposes to carry the question to
the people in the next national cleo
ton. But this means postporiLg
peace, SO far as we are concerned,
for whole year-possibly more,
for even after the election the Pres
ident cannot be compelled to act,
and he holds office until March 4,
1921. More than this, it means
withdrawing American influence
from the international field all
through what must be the most
critical year of all.
Any other proposal comes to
mere nonsense, since peace. by con-
current or joint resolution leads
back to the President beyond per-
adventure, while it raises whole
multitude of questions and leaves for
adjustment all of our various out
standing litigations with Germany,
which would have to go to the
courts and there be decided against
us, almost inevitably, if the victory
itself were not translated into es-
tablished fact by the treaty itself.

the present, but even they are only

Rerision Necessary

Yet some revision certainly seems
necessary when one recognizes that
the peace Of the world has been al
most indefinitely postponed owing tc
the absence of any official or body
capable of breaking the deadlock be-
tween the President and the Senate.
Possibly some way might be found,
in case of deadlock, to throw the
whole matter into the House of Rep
resentatives and let it break the tie.
But the discussion of solutions is
rather irrelevant What Is impor-
tant to recognize is the fact that the

Discredited in Advance

What results, then, Is an obvious
discrediting Of American negotia-
tors in advance Of their arrival at
any peace conference, any world as
semblage. They can pledge noth-
ing, promise nothing, for their coun-
try. They do not, or at least they
need not, have any relation whatever
with the Senate which will decide
the fate of the treaty. Their voices
are thus destitute of authority. Is
it not plain that such a situation
carries with it patent disadvantages
and even potential dangers?
A system of checks and balances
may be essential to preserve liberty
in domestic affairs, but it carries
with it the certain possibility of an
archy in foreign affairs. If it be re-
garded as unwise to permit the
President to go abroad and under
take engagements on behalf of his
country, subject to no legislative re-
stralnt, ought not the Legislative
branch then to be permitted to name
at least majority of the members
OF any international delegation, to
name them from it's own ranks and
thus to remain in immediate rela-
ton with the treaty-makers?
The alternative is to give the
President absolute power, but in the
present temper Of the nation it is
plain such revision of the Con
stitution is unthinkable.

Example IL, England

To take concrete example: At a
certain moment in the Paris con-
ference an influential faction in the
House of Commons felt that the
course Lloyd George was pursuing
in certain questions jeopardized
Anglo French relations and i'm
periled British interests. AS a con-
sequence a "round robin" sort of
document was framed In the House
and duly transmitted to Paris, and
Lloyd George, instantly sensitive to
the peril, promptly modified his pol
icy to suit the circumstances. The
legislative branch was thus able to
make it's will felt before treaty had
been framed, not after, and thus to
defend national interests without
paralyzing the whole machinery of
the peace settlement
Over against this must be set the
warning conveyed by the Senate in
another Ground robin" drafted in
March, as l recall, after the Presi-
dents brief visit to the United States,
and setting forth the fact that the
treaty in the shape in which it then
was-a shape which was in part re-
tained-would not be accepted by
the Senate. Such warning the
President could and did disregard,
because he was satisfied of the recti-
tude of his course and confident that
if he appealed to the country popu-
lar sentiment would compel the SEN
ate to accept any treaty which he
had signed.
We have, then, on this side Of the
water machinery for negotiating
peace settlements which can lead
directly to complete paralysis. The
events of the last year have disclosed
the fact that the President Of the
United States can lawfully go to a
peace conference and there, in the
name of the United States, negotiate
a treaty, unhampered in any way by
interference from the legislative
branch. But similarly, when this
treaty has been signed in the name
Of the country, the legislative branch
can reject it.

Had Immediate Power

Ultimate power in the matter of
the treaty lay with the Senate, but
immediate power, command of the
army and the navy, control Of re-
lief resources, lay with the Presi-
dent. For France, Great Britain
or Italy to refuse to follow the
Presidents wishes, to refuse to con-
form to his demands, so far as he
declined to modify them, was to run
obvious risks, which Italy, to be sure,

Break-do,un Revealed

If one eliminate all partisan con-
siderations; if one put aside all cir
cumstances which arise from the
treatment by the President Of the
Senate, both in the composition Of
his delegation to the Peace Confer
ence and his subsequent course since
he returned from Paris; If one dis
count all maneuvcring which is the
consequence Of the approach Of a
national campaign, there remains q
solid fact, the most significant fact
in the whole controversy, looking at
i. with any historical perspective;
that our machinery of government
has broken down, has been disclosed
as inadequate in the presence of q
great international crisis.
The theory of the makers of the
Constitution, who sought, by i'm
posing system of checks and bal
ances, to maintain an equilibrium be-
tween the two branches of govern
ment, however we'll it has worked
for century and a quarter in do
nestle affairs, has led us straight to
one of the most humiliating and dan
gerous situations in foreign relations
which can be imagined.
What has actually happened has
been that the President, using pow
ers unquestionably within his grasp
and right, since no one has been able
to cite a single legal objection to
his course, went to Europe. In
conference with the representatives
Of other great nations he has nego-
tiated a treaty Of peace, speaking
always in the name of the country
Of which he was the Chief Executive
and for which he possessed the right
TO negotiate treaties; and the treaty,
having been duly signed, has been at
least temporarily rejected by his own
country.

that the legislative branch contem-

that the legislative branch contem-
plated doing just this.
But the truth Is that In order to
take effective notice Of this the Eu-
ropean representatives would have
been forced to join battle with the
President Of the United States, who
held, and would for two years con-
tinue to hold, control Of all govern
ment departments, whose voice
would settle the continuation or
abandonment Of such aid as Europe
was receiving and needed.

gard Of the President. He could
stop money, recall men, divert sup
plies. The Senate could only. re-
ject a treaty, and, important as the
treaty ultimately was, the other
things were Of far greater value at
the moment.
All of which is another way of
saying that the strange situation in
our government with respect to
treaty-making compelled Europe to
take sides, to negotiate with one Of
two equally influential elements, one
actually hostile and each possessing
the power to negative the treaty,
but only one able to act positively
so far as negotiations were con-
cerned. Europe did this, not with
out reluctance in some quarters, at
least, and the result has been a
deadlock and postponement of
real peace for more than six months.
What Of Neat Mission?

reception will the next peace dele

This rejection has been accom-
plished in the United States Senate,
where the majority Of the Senators
in rejecting it acted within their
rights and in accordance with
their constitutional duties. We have,
then, reached & complete deadlock,
and for several months the restora-
ton Of peace In the world has been
postponed, to the very great injury
Of all the world, because Of this
deadlock.
AS the consequences of the dead
lock have been more and more clear
ly perceived and felt, the President
and the Senate have been collectively
denounced in many quarters, while
In others the whole burden of blame
has beer placed upon the President
or upon the majority Of the Senate,
% this disposition of responsibility
suited the various critics. Yet little
or no blame has been placed upon
the Constitution Of the United States
itself, which provides no machinery

means Of breaking what amounts to
