Practically Unchanged

The league Of nations, after having
undergone further revision, shows no
change worthy of the name. None of
the faults uncovered by the patriotic
critics of the original constitution
have been eliminated in the document
now before US. Like its predecessor
the new constitution makes automatic
the declaration of war. 1t disregards
the mandates of the American con-
stitution by denying to congress the
right to raise armies and navies, TO
declare war, to regulate foreign COM
merce, to provide for the common de-
Tense. and to regulate immigration.
1t takes from the senate the constitu-
tional power now possessed by that
body to pass finally on our treaties.
In spite of the fact that the words
Monroe Doctrine appear in the
document, that famous principle is
abandoned so far as any protection
given to it by the league is concerned.
Under the new draft our national SOW
ereignty is surrendered quite as thor
oughly as under the original text. In
short, while there have" been some
minor changes in the verbiage. all of
the Objectionable features of the first
document appear in the articles as
they have been redrawn.

A Strained Interpretation

The action OF the department OF JUS
tice upholding the war department in
sending out the notorious Wigmore
letter defending the administration OF
the court-martial system Is one more
illustration OF the substitution OF gov
eminent by men Tor government by
law In the United States. 1t the incl
dent serves no other good purpose it
will awaken the American people to
the vital importance OF restoration OF
government by law in this republic.
While it seems quite evident that
the opinion rendered by the depart
ment of justice will have the effect of
destroying much of the little respect
which the people still have for the ad-
ministration, 1t will also serve a good
purpose if it hastens the time when
the people will put in charge of the
business of the government men who
visions OF statutes.
As everyone knows, the Wigmore
letter was a personal communication
and not Official, and was designed
entirely as defense of the admins
tration- Section 5l2 of the Posal
Laws and Regulations provides that
it shall be lawful for all officers of the
United States government to transmit
through the mail free of postage any
letters. packages or other matters re-
lating exclusively to the business of
the United States.
The defense of the circulation of the
Wigmore letter is based upon the as
sertion that it was in the interests of
the war department.
Only bv the broadest kind of an in
depreciation of the Wigmore letter
could 1t be construed to be in the in
terests OF the war department." but
even that is not what the statute pro-
| vides. The statute requires that the
letter shall relate not only to the
business of the government but exclus-
lively to the business of the govern
ment. The word business" in this
connection is technical one and so
intended If it had been the intention
OF congress in the enactment of that
statute that heads OF departments
should have the privilege of sending
through the mails free anything they
desired to send, there would have
been no limitation such as that con-
tanned in the words relating exclus-
lively to the business of the govern
ment OF the United States" The use
OF that language shows beyond pos
sible doubt that it was the intention
OF congress to exclude everything not
relating excessively to the business OF
the government.
| The department of justice has not
said that the Wigmore letter comes
within the language of the statute nor
does IT dare to say so now. There is
not a man, woman or child in the
United States but would laugh 10
seorn any legal authority attempting
to make such an assertion.

THE LAW OF THE LAND

A reader of The Tribune writes US:
81 see by the last issue of The
Tribune that the supreme court may
eventually pass upon the treaty of
peace and that the court is bulwark
of defense. What has the supreme
court got to do with the matter?
A treaty in this country is the su-
preme law of the land. 1t is ratified
by the senate but 1t cannot contra
vene, nullify, or in anywise contra
dict the constitution of the United
States. The question whether a
treaty contravenes, nullifies or con-
tradicts the constitution must be de
cided by the supreme court of the
United States, just the same as any
other act of congress. If the ques-
ton is raised, as it most certainly
will be, the supreme court has every
thing in the world to do with the
matter.

The Responsibility
lHarveys Weekly.l

The mandate has gone forth. The
senate must confirm the peace treaty,
including the league covenant, with
out dotting an or crossing (. or the
president viii keep the country at war
with Germany. That is the threat
which is oozing daily with increasing
emphasis out of Paris Mr.. Wilson

He must have his own way in every

pie in the second. with consequences

dustrial and financial centers which
desire an early resumption of BUSH
ness throughout the world. The BUSH
ness world, while it desires the re-
sumption of trade, will not demand
it at the sacrifice of the interests of
the country, and even though it does
its demands will fail on ears that are
deaf. The senate will pass upon an
enterprise that will effect us for good
or evil for generations yet unborn.
The importance of the subject de-
mands serious, earnest and deliberate
consideration and he who would at
tempt to force action in haste is a
poor citizen. We believe the senate
is composed of pretty good citizens
on the whole and the members will
conduct themselves as such.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1919-05-23
THE PROCEDURE

No sane, sensible citizen will OBJ
ject to full and free discussion of
the proposed League of Nations and
of the treaty of peace. Others will
object but 1t will avail them naught.
There is going to be such dis
cussion.
The Republican leaders in the
United States senate will first sep
arate the treaty of peace and the
league covenant and pass upon them
separately and upon their merits.
This separation, if we had had a
statesman instead of a politician as
our representative at the peace con-
ference, would not have been neces-
sary. As it is we must take it and
make the best of it. The power of
the senate to amend any treaty is be-
yond question. Upon this phase of
the question Senator Lodge than
whom there is no greater authority in
the senate says:
practice and precedent and action
of the senate and Of the presidents
and the decision of the supreme
court, show that the power of the
senate in the making Of treaties has
always been held. as the constitution
intended. to be equal to and co-ordi-
nate with that of the president. ex-
cept in the initiation of a negotia-
ton. which can of necessity only be
undertaken bv the president alone.
The senate has the right to rec
ommend entering upon negotiation
or the reverse, but this right it has
wisely RETAINED from exercising, ex-
vept upon rare occasions The sen
ate has the right to amend, and this
right it has always exercised largely
and freely. II is also clear that anv
action taken by the senate is a part
Of the negotiations; just as much so
as the action of the president
through the secretary of state. In
other words. the action of the SEN
ate upon a treaty is not merely to
give sanction to the treaty, but is an
integral part Of the treaty making,
and may be taken at any stage of a
negotiation.
1t is expected that great pressure
viii be brought to bear upon the SEN
ate by two sources to ratiry the treaty
as it is written. The president will
fight against separation of the treaty
proper and the league covenant The
president, however, cannot bring any
great pressure to bear upon a Re
publican senate. II would be differ
ent with Democratic senate. As it
is the presidents influence is thing
of the past. The other source of
pressure win be from the trade. in

REPUTATION

Just before his departure for Eu-
rope the second time President Will
son said at New York: There can
be no leagues or alliances or special
covenants and undertakings within
the general and common family of the
League of Nations" The president
will return one of these bright days
neatly sewed up in sack together
with a triple alliance of which the
United States, Great Britain and
France, all of them within the gen.
eral and common family of the
League of Nations" are the members.
The president has surrendered one
point after another until he has very
little left. This, however, is the first
time in the history of diplomacy
where great triumphs consisted in
surrender after surrender.
An amateur sent an amateur
abroad to negotiate and the amateur
was negotiated out of his eyeteeth.
What else could be expected?

The Coddled Bolshevist

One of the reasons given fer the
mailing of the nearly two score infer
nal machines by agents of the |. w.
w. was the punishment melted out to
bomb thrower Thomas Mooney. And
Woodrow Wilson did his utmost to
prevent the carrying out of the
courts sentence of that murderer. The
greater the frequency with which such
things occur. the deeper the convic-
ton strikes in. that Senator Warren
Harding's indictment of Mr. Wilson
as the man chiefly responsible for the
spread of bolshevism was justified.

7. M. c. A. Campaign
Next Week in Kentucky

The Y. M. C. A. was requested by
the U. 8. government to take over and
handle for 1t the army canteen during
the war in Europe. The organization
accepted this huge task and handled
1t remarkably well considering the al
most unsurmountable difficulties Of
the situation. 1t was the only organ
ization large enough to attempt the
job, and in accepting the task it did
a great patriotic duty. Criticism due
mostly to Observation-Disclosures have re-
suited, instead Of the universal credit
the 7. M. C. A. deserves. In spite OF
this, those who know and appreciate
TN value of the great organization are
going right ahead with the work.
A campaign is on in Kentucky Oct.
20 to 2S, to raise some money for the
large amount of peace work now in
sight. s346 is Lawrence county's quo
ia, a small sum. Mr.. F. H. Yates has
been chosen as county chairman, and
Rev. III. o. Chambers as secretary.
