Governor Hays

Word comes through Senator New to
Washington that Will H. Hays has de-
cided to announce his candidacy for the
Governorship Of Indiana. Perhaps we
should await formal ratification first
by the Republicans of Indiana. But why
worry about technicalities when dealing
in certainties? eve can loan Mr.. Hays
to the National Committee to run the
campaign Of 1920 and without his MAX
ing a single speech carry the state for
him by $4,000" casually remarks Senator
New. And that is the calm truth.
Politics is no mere trade in Indiana.
1t is a fine art which it's devotees learn
as apprentices through long years of
humble beginnings, like Benvenuto
Cellini. Humble beginning! Why, any
one of Governor Goodrich's young men
knows and practises more politics daily
than whole stateful of politicians
elsewhere can muster in lifetime. AS
for Joe Healing, he has forgotten more
than the other fellows will ever learn.
Indiana begins where the rest of them
leave off. Returning to that young man
Will H. Hays, he is Indanas aptest
scholar, and the Republican party ought
to say a prayer Of thanksgiving every
night for the consummate training be-
slowed upon him.
We like the sound of "Governor" Hays.
We tender our congratulations to the
State Of Indiana and our good wishes to
the Governor select. Later. If through
some device Indiana could be made to
appear doubtful state again, who
knows what lightning might strike the
Capitol at Indianapolis

use power, but the future cannot be
foreseen.
1t Is true, as indicated above, no con-
troll over actual physical power inheres
In the council. Not only does the
unanlmlty rule prevent coercion except
by universal consent, but, 30 far as con-
Germs the nino nations represented on
the council the delegates will be am
bassadors, named by their home govern
ments and responsive to their orders.
The council Ia thus mere aasemblage
of ambassadors. and there Ia no basic
Institutional change In diplomatic
method, The small nations. unrepre-
sontod by ambassadors sitting In the
Council, will occupy lower level, and
not oven In theory will there be national
equality
But IA the instrument taken ~
whole there Is some moral power some
implied obligation; this country, under
some circumstances, would face the al
tentative of doing as we were ordered
or being accused Of breaking faith. AS
long as Article x Is in the covenant we
may not agree or seem to agree
to make even gesture. We may not
in the dimmest ink underwrite the ex-
istent world Metternich's alliance
sought in like manner to keep every
people under its Legitimate" govern
ment, and America will no longer be
America If it gives the faintest moral
support to such q doctrine
The new version of the covenant, like
the old, is Objectionable to both interna-
tlonalists and nationalists. 1t pretends
to do something for peace, and does
practically nothing. It's authors appear
more interested in seeming to do some
thing than in doing anything. They
have given birth to great hoax, and
apparently think that people can be
made to believe that pasting of the
label League of Peace" on their con-
coction makes it as labelled. To at
tempt to capitalize in this deceptive
manner the great hope of the world is
climacteric of humbuggery to which
history furnishes no parallel.

their masters, even though lacking benev-

masses to keep in the main the
fruit of their thrift and labor, Lenine
has not been intelligent enough to
see this, and, as Ivan Is remembered as

The Monroe "Safeguard"

The Monroe Doctrine still is classified
IN the society of nations covenant as a
regional understanding, yet is not a
regional understanding" in any intelH-
gible sense.
lt has been represented in press dis
patches from Paris that the purpose Of
the Monroe Doctrine amendment was
to reserve to the United States full lib
erty to maintain it's traditional policy
toward American questions without in
terference from the society of nations,
The text of the exemption hardly sun
ports that assumption. No reservation
could well be clumser or more dubious
Possibly some light is thrown on the
intentions of the trainers of the "rescrva
tlon" by the semi-official analysis of the
covenant just telegraphed from Paris.
Ihls says with regard to the Monroe
Doctrine amendments
Concerning the Monroe Doctrine. Artj
Gle XXI makes it clear that the covenant
Is not intended to abrogate or weaken other
agreements, so long as they are consistent
tcath ats own terms for the assurance of
peace. In so far as the Monroe Doctrine
tends to the same end it is stated, what
ever validity it possesses cannot be affected
by the covenant"
What the United States wants is to
perpetuate its traditional policy, whether
or not that perpetuation is consistent
with the terms of the covenant of the
society of nations. The amendment
adopted at Paris justifies the interpreta
tion of the semi-official analyst. 1t
would make the doctrine subordinate to
the covenant and subject it to construc-
tion by the society of nations. The
doctrine would retain validity only
in so far as it harmonized with the So
cicty's understanding of it.
Here we have an assurance quite diff
ferent from what we were said to be get
ting. 1t is insufficient, if our govern
ment really is trying to reserve the Mon
roe Doctrine as a distinct and clear
cut national policy Article XXI con-
tains no real reservation. 1t is merely
package covered with gold foil
New-York tribune., 1919-04-29
A High Court for the "All Highest"

According to Paris reports, the peace
conference will bring the ex-Kaiser to
trial This decision has been long de-
layed. 1t was opposed by extreme inter-
national legalists and by those morbidly
tender souls who deprecate "vindictive-
ness" toward those responsible for Ger
many's criminal methods Of warfare.
The general run of mankind is not so
easily affrighted by the shadow of JUS
tice. When the Germans were breaking
the laws Of war and overriding the re-
straints thrown about military harshness
by humanitarian compacts and under
standings, no voice was raised to excuse
the War Lord, in whom the duty to pre-
vent such enormities was vested. Nobody
was arguing then, as Mr.. Lansing and
other American delegates in Paris have
recently been doing, according to the
press reports, that "the head of a state
is responsible for his illegal acts to the
people from whom he derives his author
ity and not to any foreign sovereignty"
Nobody was saying then that murderers
OF civilians, women and children were
immune because they wore the German
uniforms and were acting in obedience to
duly constituted domestic authority.
The Kaiser didn't murder his own sub
jects. He and they co0perated in mur-
dering and despoiling enemy subjects
How can they be expected to bring him
to justice for crimes in which they were
enthusiastic accomplices? His and their
offences were committed against laws
which all nations were pledged to uphold.
Ihe Allied powers, representing the COL
lective authority of the world as fully
as they do, are perfectly competent to
try the Kaiser and his subordinates for
these breaches of law and faith. If thew
haven't tribunal ready made they NAV
easily create one, and they are also at
liberty to establish trial procedure
which they may deem suitable. Thew
have ample jurisdiction. All they need
to do is to assert it,
The legalistic sticklers at Paris recon-
mended the conference to dodge the issue
by devolvlng on Belgium the task of
prosecuting such German offenders as
she could get into her courts. That was
a counsel of pettiness. The powers have
now apparently rejected it in favor of
open and courageous joint action.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-29
Results Of the Acid Test

1t is as true now as when the words
were said fifteen months ago: "The
treatment accorded to Russia by her sis
ter nations in the months to come will be
the acid test of their good will, of their
comprehension Of her needs as distin-
guished from their own interests, Of their
intelligent and unselfish sympathy"
The acid test has not been met in a
way calculated to breed pride. The AL
lied nations, though they knew what was
going on in Russia; though fully aware
that small group, in possession Of the
available supply Of weapons, had set up
a dictatorship less intelligent, less hu-
name, more fundamentally violative of
democratic principles than the autocracy
of the Kaiser; though we'll acquainted
with the fact that this autocracy was not
wanted and could not be wanted by
Russia's peaceable but helpless majority;
though these things were plain, never
theless, the forces Of selishness we're
strong enough to prevent going to Rus
sia's aid.
All asked for the cup to pass. 1t was
100 full of the bitter waters of sacrifice.
Lloyd George has said he would rather
see Russia barbarous than Great Britain
bankrupt. The policy Of other countries,
including our own, though less candidly
declared, has come to the same thing. We
denied help to the helpless, not because
the voice of duty could not be dstin
guished, but because it's commands were
difficult. Coed excuses may be mar
shalled, but let's be honest. We let
Leninc and Trotzky alone in their evil
work because it was heavy task to get
OF them. Having finished ono crusade.
inc war-weary nations were not equal to
Fastening on another.
so to the slow grinding Of the economic
millstoncs Russia has been left. Between

The Tolentino furniture covers wide
range. 1t embraces numerous cabinets
more than one superb Golfer, several fine
commodes, couple of beautiful lecterns,
and. OF course, a small host of sixteenth
century chairs. There are some fine tables
IN the show, and there ia one magnificent
bookcase (No. S16). great Florentine af-

seem product OF architecture instead OF
cabinet making. Apropos Of architecture
we must mention the heroic marble door

self. 1t is indubitably the work Of a mas
ter, fine alike in its proportions and in its
carven details, perfect type Of the Italian
genius in one of its great periods.
Craftsmanship, as we have said, fills the
foreground. There is much beautiful glass
and pottery There are rich embroderes.
But the arts in the strict sense are not un-
represented. The department of paintings
is small, but contains some attractive
things, good school pieces, an interesting
Sienese Madonna (No. $780, fine portrait
of bearded Venetian captain in armor, by
Jacopo da Ponte, and delightful pair of
Venetian scenes given to Canaetto. Per-
haps the most engaging exhibit Of all, one
which simply clamors to be embodied In
some decorative scheme, is the set of fifty-
nine panels which originally adorned the
ceiling in an early fifteenth century pa-
lazzo. The heads and coats of arms drawn
on these bits of wood are conventional
enough. Some uninspired journeyman
doubtless did them. But he was a pleasant
colorist and he had the style of his period
to go on with. Properly placed in one OF
our modern interiors, in which the Renais-
sance is re-created, they would make an en-
chanting effect. The sculpture Is fairly
abundant and most Of it is of an inter
esting character. The small bronzes include
pieces that if not momentous are at any
rate good, and amongst the marbles there
are some striking specimens, like the Pisan
portrait (No. 7S), attributed to Arnolfo di
Cambio, the Sacrifice of Isaac" by AL
gardi. in terra Gotta, and the two fourteenth
century figures (No. 80) of early Pisan
origin. A Madonna of extraordinary charm
is the one in polychromatic stucco by Ros-
sellino (No. 7s.) 1t is the special merit of
all this material that 1t is not only old but
fair to look upon. A miscellaneous lot of
antiques sometimes leaves a rather dreary
impression. The Tolcntino collection is
faithful TO high standard Of excellence.
Its dispersal Is an episode Of some import.
Another collection which is likewise
above the average level is that Of Mrs.
Adolphe Borie's Japanese color prints, which

I'm THE collection Of Sgnor Tolentino, the
dealer, which has been placed on view
at the American Art Galleries and will
be sold there next Thursday and Friday af-
ternoons, there Is one object which might
be taken as beautifully symbolcal OF nearly
everything that crowds tho rooms. 1t Is a
wrought iron gate Of the sixteenth century,
tho work Of some Florentne smith whose
name has unjustly fallen into oblivion. The
thing Ia we'll shown. Greenery has been
placed behind Il. To como upon II suddenly
IL like coming upon an episode Of tho sort
In somc scquestered street of Italy. Here,
as there we forget the mere utility of the
object in enjoyment of It's aesthetic beauty.
The design is as graceful as 1t Is simple.
Time, Of course, has seen to the wealth
ering of the metal, giving 1t perfect
patina. But 1t was a work Of art when it
was first put in place. 1t stays work Of
art, for it bears the stamp of Renaissance
craftsmanship
The crafts set the pace in this volu-
minous collection. There Is, for example,
plenty more of such wrought iron as we
have just cited, slender fifteenth century
torcheres, Venetian brackets of a later
but still judicious period, and irons, lam
terms and 80 on. In this category alone
people with houses to beautify will find a
rare opportunity. And with it we would
speak Of the furniture, one of the finest
groups that the auction room in New York
has revealed in many year. The ideal
of the past, in furniture, was rooted in
the matter Of sound, traditional work
manshp. Membership in a French guild
Of the mcdaval period was only obtanable
by the production of given piece Of fur
niture that would meet the most exacting
OF tests. Sometimes the ambitious cab
inetmaker who failed to comply with the
conditions imposed was compelled to look
on while the guild burned before his house
in derision the piece he had submitted. He
was lost if he neglected to measure I'D to
a certain standard of technique. Furni-
ture, in those days, was literally built Its
usually massive character was significant
Of an almost monumental purpose. But all
these elements Of guild tradition served
but as the groundwork on which per-
sonality expressed itself. Hence tho indi-
vidual charm. of such examples as enrich
the Tolentno collection. There are some
curious rather than lovely pieces included.
as, for example, the sixteenth century
Venetian Golfer (No. 253). which is COW
cred with quantity embossed leather. This
Is suitable for museum rather than for
a house. But most OF the furniture ia of
the kind that is perennially serviceablo,
