Senate Will forbear marrng the best work
OF the highest craftsmanship of the world as
evidenced in the constitution OF the league
of nations. by sending 1t through the rend-
Ing partisan hopper of political discussion
Diirerent Senators have already threatened
to attack 1t, even before the President has
come back with an official copy of it, He
has been compelled to send word in advance
of his arrival requesting the Senate TO post
pone its discussion until after he has had
the opportunity first of presenting the sub
ject to the Senate. The political members
of the Senate have not even the decency and
sense of propriety OF waiting for the Presl-
dent. so great Is their haste 20 try to beIi'tle

about the dignity of tho Senate and the
effort of the Senate to maintain It's dignity
If the Senate really wants TO maintain Its
dignity let 1t act with becoming dignity and
not like political convention.
The people Of the United States have i'm.
plcit trust in the President. and they do not
trust the Senate. The Senate itself is re-
sponsible for this The people OF the whose
world are tired and sick of war and thev
hope that the proposed league Of nations
will be the means Of ending all war by max
ing II as near impossible az ANYTHING human

has brought back with him the draft of q
constitution for such league that Is as
near perfection as Is humanity possible. He
now asks to be heard before the Senate ir
its support before the Senate begins its con-
sideration and debate on it. Is not that
reasonable request? If the Senate Of the
