TWO HIGHWAYS
TURNED DOWN

A mention was made in last week S
Banner, that Walter Mathews of the
state highway commission was here
viewing the three proposed highway
projects in McCone county, on which
federal aid had been asked, but when
the lAper went to press we had not
heard that two of the projects had not
been approved by the state engineer.
Mr.. Mathews approved of the Wolf
Pointsand creek project, but refused
to O.. X. the Circle Weldon andBrock-
yTiorse Creek projects, on the
grounds that the roads led into prac-
ticaAy the same country and was de-
batabae trade territory. The policy
of the state highway commission
seems to be to make these highways
connect UP with other established
state highways, which these two did
not and i'll place of these two roads
he suggested state highway from
Paxton through Redwater, Circle,
HE ockway and on to the Prairie coun-
tIy Hne tnus connecting up with other
stats roads. From Paxton through
Richey and on to Manrock is a state
highway in Dawson county and from
ManrOck to Sidney in Richland. Com
misaiOners OBrien and Kirchner have
cha4Ged their applications to cover
the suggested route, and will undoubt-
edly now be accepted by the state
highway commission
This road will make a splendid
highway up and down the Redwater
Valley, and good road to market,
which was another reason why Mr..
Mathews approved of Valley road
in preference to the other two

How the Great Powers Ratifv

The American method of ratifying
treaties differs from the method in use
in the European democracies. We have
more representative system than the
British, but a less representative one
than the French or Italians.
The treaty making power in this
country is vested in the President and
the Senate. The popular branch of Con-
gress-the House of representatives
has nc. voice in the ratification of con-
ventions with foreign powers But, on
the other hand, it can annul them il.
whole or in part by refusing to pass
legislation carrying them into effect or
by passing legislation in conflict with
their provisions.
The Senate is the only check on the
President in our scheme Of treaty max
ing And the Senate's influence on the
process is enhanced by the fact that the
draft of treaty submitted by the
Executive must be approved by two
thirds of the Senators present instead
OF by mere majority.
11~Noiu ui'B ~ OiitiSh custom treaty
may be proclaimed by the government
without the approval Of either house of
Parliament. In 1911, discussing the
same questions raised as to an inter-
national treaty amending the rules of
warfare at sea, known as the Declara-
ton Of London, Sir Edward Grey told
the House Of Commons: 81 have already
stated in answer to a supplementary
question, asked on 18th November,
1910, that the consent of Parliament is
constitutionally not necessary to the
ratification Of the Declaration Of Lon
dom" He added, however: "But, as Is
we'll known, no government would advise
his majesty to ratify q convention

Justice Newburger

Tammany had mustered courage to
defy Hearst with respect to the nomina-
tion Of local ticket, but to the surprise
of the assembled representatives of the
organization Murphy announced that
Justice Newburger would not be renomi-
mated. In his place, at the command of
the boss, was named Irwin Untermyer,
son of Samuel Untermyer
Why bowstring was sent to Justice
Newburger is not revealed. For many
years he has been an acceptable and
honored jurist, and Tammany has &C
cepted the principle that sitting judges
of good repute are not to be publicly at
tackled. 1t is not reported that the boss
is dissatisfied with some of his decisions,
as Croker was with those Of Justice
DAILY. Perhaps Murphy merely wanted
to compliment young Mr.. Untermyer's
father or indicate in a striking way that
he is still boss.
Justice Newburger, although a Dem
ocrat, has been recommended for re-
nomination by the Republican organ
ization. He will be strongly urged to
accept also an independent nomination.
1t is to be hoped that he will accent in
order to have trial again of the ques-
tion of whether judge must wait, hat in
hand, in the anteroom of the boss and in
all things please him.

The Greek in English

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: So many Tribune readers writing
me to ask where I got tho list of words
submitted to American high school pupils,
that I appeal to you to print this letter in
my defence
The story is q simple one. There is
beautiful young lady who comes by the house
early every morning and STICKS her rosy
fingers through the Stats of the sleeping
porch, except on rainy days. When I feel
those immortal fingertps on my eyelids, I
wake up and watch the girl as she goes on,
bearing the light to gods and mortal men.
In the early morning Of last year, before
any one was stirring, 1 amused myself for
weeks by making a list Of English words
that are found in or derived from the Greek
of that greatest wonder story, Homers
"Odyssey." No except enthusiastic
student of Greek realize how many of
these words there are. When a boy knows
that campo" means to shine, and "ballo"
to throw; when "pomp' suggests to him the
marching of a procession with drum ma jor
at its head; STAMINA" the braces of a ship;
"semaphore," bear a sign "genealogcal,"
words about ones beginning; Cynical"
doglike-snarling like dog-when he be-
gins to understand that word is chrysalis,
a golden cocoon in which is wrapped up the
gorgeous butterfly of idea, then that boy
sits up and understands that language is
thing of beauty we'll as a means of asking
for food
The Greek in English crystallizes hundreds
of iridescent ideas. the Latin in English con-
dcnses myriads of them. Six months Greek
teaches any boy that the climax of story
is the top Of the ladder; he knows what the
acme Of perfection means; he understands
that Eugene" and "eugenics" mean we'll
begun, and that genesis" Is the beginning;
that dynamic spirit Is the spirit OF young
America, the will that says II can" And
New-York tribune., 1919-07-30
Remaking History

Already attempts are being made to
remake our war history. Here is an
interesting instance:
President Wilson, or, rather, Secre-
tary Lansing for him, said in the note
Of December 18, 1916, addressed to all
the belligerents and asking them for
peace terms:
"He 1.-THE PRESIDENT takes the liberty
of calling attention to the fact that the
objects which the statesmen of the bel
ligerents on both sides have in mind in
this war are virtually the same, as stated
in general terms to their own people and
to the world"
In recent book, entitled "The Peace
President" Mr.. William Archer offers a
novel Interpretation of this statement.
Surely" he says, "the irony of this
passage ought to have been apparent
from the first. Here one cannot
but suggest that the President has
right to reproach his critics with GER
tain sloWness of apprehension"
The irony theory did not appeal, how
ever, to the celebrated Creel Committee
on Public information 1t issued in
November, 1918, pamphlet, written by
Professor Carl L. Becker, of Cornell
University, entitled "America's War
Aims and Peace Programme" In this
the note of December is is discussed,
though the text Of it is omitted. Pro-
Tossing to convey the meaning of the
passage in question, Mr. Becker says:
"Thus the objects for which both sides
were fighting, stated IN general terms
seem to be the sd1ne.'"
Two pages further on he repeats:
"What he [Secretary Lansing for the
President said in his note was that the
aims of the belligerents, as stated in
general terms, seem to be the same"
The italics in both these quotations are
the authors.
Thus the Bureau of Public Informal
ton (?) has already converted "are"
into "seem." The mystery remains,
however, which of these two improve
ments on the facts is the more ac-
ceptable to those who want to see the
facts changed
New-York tribune., 1919-07-30

against the declared opinion Of the
House Of Commons" .
In the House Of Lords, In 1911, Wis
count Morley Of Blackburn, speaking
on the same subject, said:
"There is a great state in which the
treaty-making power Is divided between
the executive and the legislature, but am
not sure that those who have to deal with
that great and most friendly community
always find that advantage, and think
you will be introducing a very dangerous
principle or maxim into our constitution II
you impair the treaty making right now
vested in and practised by the CROWN
Lloyd George nevertheless submitted
to Parliament both the Treaty Of Yer
sailles and the tripartite alliance treaty
recently signed by France, Great Britain
and the United States. They were both
approved, although they could have been
proclaimed without such action.
The French constitution requires
treaties Of peace and certain other
classes of treaties to be laid before the
Senate and the Chamber of Deputies
for action. The lower house, which is
by far the more powerful branch of the
French Parliament, will take the lead in
discussing the German treaty A ma
jority in either branch may amend or
reject.
The italian constitution also provides
for the approval of treaties by both
legislative branches. The lower house at
Rome greatly overshadows the Senate.
Much more than the French Chamber it
is the government. The Italian Parlia-
ment will probably delay action on the
treaty with Germany until after the
Austrian, Hungarian and Turkish
treaties are completed. 1taly's interests
are only slightly affected by the settle
ment with Germany. They will be
vtally affected by the terms of the later
settlements.
In Japan, as in Great Britain, the
treaty-making power is vested exclu-
s!vely in the crown. If the Japanese
Parliament is allowed to pass on the
treaties ending the war it will be only
as matter of imperial courtesy.
