ARE SENATE SEATS FOR
SALE?

In It's disposition Of Henry
Ford's contest OF the election of
Truman II. Ncwbcily. Of Michi-
gan. the United States Senate
has an opportunity as plain aS
its duty to decide whether large
and lavish. not to say reprehen-
,ible. expenditure Of money is
enough To give title to q seat in
that branch Of Congress; wheth-
e. violations of the law such aS
are charged are to he condoncd
by cody whose function is to
frame laws.
There is no denial that Mr..
Newbelry'S apparent plurality al
the polls was obtained by the use
of money. The law limits the
personal expenditures by on on
behalf of senatorial candidates
to SlO.00O II is admitted that
there was an outlay of Sl7S.O0o
in Nh. NeWbelly's primary cam
paign alone. There is evidence
for the presumption that an even
bigger amount was used in fur
thering his election.
Mr.. Ford has a right to de
mand from the Senate Il guaran-
tee that a candidate who re-
>pectS and obeyS the law shall
not he defeated by an opponent
in whose interest the law is ig-
nored and violated. There is, OBJ
viously. involved in this contest
a more important consideration
than Mr.. Ford's political for-
tunes. There is the question
whether ballots or >luSh funds

use OF money are to be rewarded
by membership in the greatest
deliberative body in the world" :"
whether bolotS or sluSh funds
are to determine who shall hold
public Office.
At this moment the Demo
cratic membership in the Senate
is two less than the Republican
membership. With Mr. Ford in
and Mr.. Newbell'y out the num-
erical strength of the parties
would be equal. If. instead of a

THE III BLIC AND THE
TREATY.

right in saying that American
public opinion is heartily in
favor OF the League of Nations.
and OF the treaty as a whole:
but the covenant Of the League
OF Nations is the only part to
which there is any considerable
opposition in this country.
And there is no considerable
opposition to the League Of Ma
tionS outside OF the Senate and
some Very limited partisan poit-
ical circles. The League is
exactly the thing that the Amer
ican people have been clamoling
for. Arbitration instead of war
has been the aim OF this coun-
Try toi generations.
The first treaty for the arbi-
uration OF an individual dispute
was between this country and
Great Britain for the determi-
nation of the Canadian bound
any. The first general arbitra-
tion treaty was between Eng
land and France. but directly
afterward there was a treaty be-
tween this country and England
which went much further than
any previous treaty in removing
restrictions and reaching almost
every sort Of controversy. The
Alabama arbitration and the
arbitration of the Venezuelan
boundary which we procured
have always been pointed to
with pride ny Americans.
American delegates To The
Hague conference took a leading
part in pressing a union Of ma
tionS to enforce arbitration by
compelling nations to settle their
disputes either 10y arbitration or
by litigation before The Hague
tribunal. and this project was
defeated only by the hostility of
Germany. American public
opinion was strongly in favor of
the arbitration treaties with
England and France negotiated
by the Taft administration.
which a bellicose Senate mutt
lated. in consequence OF which
Mr Taft dropped them.
Theodore Roosevelt and Henry
Cabot Lodge urged a League Of
Nations 10 enforce arbitration
and 10 reduce almaments. pre-
ciSely the objects aimed at in the
covenant contained in the peace
treaty. American public opinion
has been practically unanimous
in supporting not only arbltra-
ton. but compulsory arbitration.
Only the leactionmy Senate pre-
vented the United States from
setting an example to all the
world OF the abolition OF War.
Only factional and reactionary
and narrowly partisan or per
SonaI opposition is now offered
to the peace treaty with the
covenant embodied in it.
Mr.. Taft is in fairly good
position to speak Of public opin-
ion on this matter, for he has
been for -four or five years at
the head of the League to En-
force Peace. which aims at pre-
ciSely the same thing as the
League of Nations, to be obtain
ed by substantially similar meth
odS. The League of Nations is
no Supergovernment of the
world. 1t cannot make laws. 1t
cannot interfere with national
policies except so far as they
threaten the peace of the world.
The sovereignty of the United
States would not he impaired
any more than it already has
been on many occasions by arbi-
tration treaties and reciprocity
treaties and the agreement limi-
ting naval forces on the Great
Lakes. OF course, public opinion
is in favor OF the League of Ma
tions, and the stupid or wicked
opponents. who would perpetu-
ate war as the only means Of
settling international disputes,
will find that out.

Brattleboro- Man and His Production
Given in Germany, Complimented
by French Newspaper.


Mrs. H Chester Hoyt recently re-
ceived paper from her husband, Chap
lain Hoyt of Brattleboro, who is in Ger
many, with an interesting account of
a play, which was organized by him
and for which those taking part have
been drilled by Chaplain Hoyt. The acS
count, which is from French paper,
reads as follows:<
''The Metropolitan debut of the new
show. of the Twentieth Field Artillery
Band was made in Eseh on Tuesday,
March Is before a packed house. The
show consists of two acts, with an in
terlude of several pleasing vaudeville
numbers. 1t opens with The HickYlllc
Rehearsal, which is an amusing burles-
que of "a hick band practieing for the
Homecoming of the band leaders son.
1t afforded ample opportunity for the
members of the cast to exhibit not only
their powers to invoke weird noises
from their instruments, but also to show
how we'll they could jazz it up. The sec
ond act, entitled Passing the Buck, was
travesty along Shakesperean lines
which the Playergoer deems about the
cleverest amateur act yet done in the
division Hamlet, Macbeth and the
Ghost were all there in the guise OF
American soldiers and officers and the
lines and situations are ludicrous in the
extreme. The scenes and hangings are
attractive, as well as ingenious and are
so made that they will fit even the
smallest stage,
Chaplain Hoyt, who organized th'
show, is to be congratulated upon thu
high standard of excellence and origin
lalitv which he has established.
