Where Does the Treaty Stand1

Failure of the treaty of Versailles to receive
a vote of ratification from the United States
senate was made certain when the president
sent his letter, tantamount to an order, to the
democrats, asking that they vote to reject the
measure with reservations.
Three votes were TAKEN each on different
proposal, and in each substantial ma ority was
registered against the treaty. Not only did it
fail each time to receive the two-thirds vote
necessary for ratification, but neither time was
a majority cast for it. 1t is within Mr.. Wilson'S
power to withdraw the treaty from the senate
at once, otherwise it is dead. The president
will very likely save the document by his only
recourse.
How to analyze the result is perplexing in
the extreme. Several of the committee reserva-
tons were adopted by more than two-thirds
vote, and all of them had majority vote.
When the test came, enough of the senators
voted to undo their own work to entirely de-
feat it. This is hard to explain
About the only justfable conclusion is that
the president sadly mistakes the temper of the
senate, which feels it has the support of the
for the League of Nations, artihcially stimulated
ny uCIlcHuOuS campaign OF Wcll-ulIeCCcQ pro-
paganda, participated in by the president him
self, has receded, seemingly, and the sober re-
Election of the public has left it ukewarm if not
actually hostile to the league. Withdrawal of
the treaty at this time may bring it back to
the senate again at the coming session, when
way will be found to permit the United States
to participate in the peace that is to follow, and
to take its proper share in the international
tribunal that seems to be so desired by all.
Finally, it is impossible to view the outcome
as anything but the natural result Of the course
adopted by the president in connection with the
peace negotiations Senator Underwood's at
tempt to make the majority party in the senate
a scapegoat for the executive is very weak
Senators resent dictatorial announcements from
the White House, but beyond this they have a
duty laid on them by the constitution. This
duty the majority accepted, and discharged with
patriotic fidelity. If any blame must be fixed
on individuals, it will rest on the president and
the democratic group who follow him blndly
in all his imperious moods

PUBLIC, COURTS, AND PRESS.

h Disclaiming any appearance OF intent to inn
pede justice or to obstruct the courts in their
freedom of action, The Bee feels impelled to
comment on situation that has arisen
When an individual is accused OF crime,
he stands before the public under stigma. Has
he right to disclose in advance OF his trial
any information of which he is possessed that
would tend to exculpate him and restore him to
good reputation, or must he rest quietly under
the odium laid upon him until his case has been
passed upon by the court? Is the rule of law
in all free countries to be reversed and the &C.
cused to be looked upon as guilty until he has
proven himself innocent?
If the defendant has right to set himself
before the world in better light, by indicating
in anticipation of trial something of the defense
on which he relies, may he not be permitted to
use the newspaper for that purpose? Or is the
press to be restricted in its expressions and
limited to the publication of the fact that
certain man has been accused of committing a
certain offense, thus adding to the imposition
set upon him by the authorities, and denying to
him any right of explanation to which both he
and the public is entitled?
The independence of the judiciary must be
maintained, but we submit that it can not be
maintained at the expense of throttng the
press. When the newspapers are muzzled, and
defendants are denied any access to the public
ear pending trial, door to a most dangerous
state has been opened Courts like newspapers,
are human institutions, and judges are as prone
to err as editors
Above courts and newspapers is the people,
to whom both the others are responsible. The
newspaper only justhes its right to exist when
it faithfully serves the interest Of the public.
and it can not do this if the court arbitrarily
places bar on the proper function Of the press.
Free press and free speech are the safeguards Of
our liberty, the support OF our institutions, as
precious and as necessary as the independent
judiciary and whatever tends to destroy the
one must inevitably react on the other.

IAN OLD GARDEN"

7 strolIed through . quaint old garden
Almost concealed from view
By a bank Of full blown roses
And flowers sweet with honey-dew.
The daisy. and stately larkspur
And purple clemaus
Wed with the sweet honeysuckle
As upward both climbed the lattice.
A rendezvous for feathsred songsters
Each enticed a mate,
And the fragrance of the flowers seemed
With Joy to intoxicate.
No landscape artist could alter
Or the scene more beautiful mold
This quaint old fashioned garden
That through one day I strolled.
