siderable part Of the sacred text. The
covenant Of the league is as much a
part Of the treaty as the part which
he has withheld from the Senate. Yet
Mr.. WILSON has not hesitated to make
public that part of the treaty for pur-
poses Of propaganda and because he
believed he could thus promote the
fortunes OF his personally conceived
scheme Of world reorganization. II
IL be said In his behalf that the text
Of the covenant part OF the treaty was
no longer in negotiation and was not
subject to change, the rejoinder is
obvious We have the Presidents
frequently repeated declaration that
the covenant and the treaty are not
separate or separable matters, Of
diplomatic status different from that
OF the rest OF the treaty and accord
ingly to be treated differently with
regard to premature publicity. On
the contrary, we have learned from
his own flexible organs Of speech that
$50 many threads of the treaty are
tied to the covenant that you cannot
dlssect the covenant from the treaty
without destroying the whole vital
structure" If that Is true 1t is nom
sense to say that the same objections
which the President now alleges in
the caee OF the parts Of the treaty
which he has deemed 1t undesirable
officially to communicate to the Sen
ate or the people do not apply with
equal force to the parts of the treaty
which he has deemed 1t desirable to
disclose, officially but for his own pur-
poses as a political promoter.
Whatever else may be developed in
the course OF the inquiry which began
at the Capitol yesterday under the
Hitchcock resolution, nothing can be
more Interesting and important to
the future Of our constitutional Gov
eminent than the Presidents persist
ent defiance of the Senate's rights and
his own principles and pledges in re-
lation to the treaty making business.
The Investigation should put in sharp
focus his attitude since he quit Wash
lngton for Paris. We hope, with
Mr.. WILSON, that 1t will be "most
thoroughly prosecuted"

The Presidents Utterances Suscepti-
BILE OF Alarming Interpretatlons.


To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sr.
see from the news this morning that
the people are "in the saddle" again,
doing their best to go over the heads
OF government Bombs were exploded
In eight cities.
II has been assumed. probably by
pigny minds that the people were al
ways in the saddle in this country.
There are some statements to this eff
feet in tho Federal Constitution. also
in the State Constitutions Apparently
the idea has been a popular delusion.
I interpret the Presidents statements so

beer In the saddle In this country there
would be no point in his telling us
with significant and exultant emphasis
that they are now" in the saddle.
Apparently they first got in tho
saddle in Russia. l never knew Just
what the friendly emissaries OF the
PI esident-Herron and the rest-accom-
plished, but understand the Russian
delectables have opened headquarters
In this country and they seem to be
getting resulta
II Ia unfortunate that the President
ca nnot be made to understand that his
utterances are taken by these lawless
and destructive elements TO imply SYM
pathy with their aims 1t is, II pos
sible, still more unfortunate that 1t is
difficult to give them any other i'm
pl,cation. 1t was noted abroad that II
was these dark forces Of society that
applauded loudest when he spoke. and
they at least thought that they found
encouragement in his words. His man.
ner of dealing with this element has
not disabused the popular impression.
The agents he sent, or wanted to send.
t. Russia were congenial spirits whose
nomination was regarded with amaze
ment. His utterances about voices In
the air and the overturn of governments
have not been limited TO the Old World.
In this country are "pigmy minds" and
men without vision" Washington is
obsolete, international law a supersti-
ton. These and other utterances OF
the President have a strange look when
brought together
1t may be that Washington is out of
date, that the Constitution In exploded,
that Lodge, Root and all that do not
asree with the President are pigmy
minds without vision. 1t may be that
our Government is all wrong and ought
TO be overturned by people in the saddle.
All this could be true. But tho people
OF the country do not think 30. There
are elements that think So II the Pres
ident does not think 80 II is tragically
unfortunate that he says SO many things
that seem to ally him in sentiment with
the elements Of society that entertain
these views
II the President has as poor an opin-
ion OF his country as II Is possible to
construe from his words he ought 70
resign and go to Russia or whatever
place he regards as approximating his
