On Killing the Treaty.
(NcW York Tim es).

After the senate had adopted the majority reservation on withdra wal from the league Senator Lodge de- clared:
 If the democrats vote down the resolution of ratification with the res ervations embraced in it, they will vote down the treaty. They will have no way. after that. of resurrecting it." Vice. President MarshalPs rulings leave it somewhat doubtful if this is really the case; but suppose Senator Lodge is right, Suppose the demo- erals do vote down the ratficati tion resolution with the majority amend ments, and thereby kill the treaty. What treaty will they have killed? Not the treaty negotiated at Versailles. which has already been accepted by nine of the allied states and by Ger many. The docum ent which will lie before the senate when the majority reservations have been added will bear little resemblance to that treaty. If the democrats kill a treaty. it will be a treaty negotiated by and be- tween Henry Cabot Lodge, William E. Borah. Frank E. Brandeeee, Albert c. Fall, Phi]ander c. Knox, Warren G. Harding, Hlam Johnson, Harry & Ne'|, and George H. Moses.
 The treaty drawn up in Paris pledged the nations of the world to cooperation for the common good. The treaty drawn up by the majority of the senate foreign relation com- mittee, which Senator Lodge is trying to substitute for the one signed at Versailles, serves notice that the United States expects O share in all the benefits of international co-Opera- ton, but will do none of the work except perhaps now and then, on the impulse of the moment. This treaty has not been subm tted to any other nation, and is not at all likely to be acceptable to other nations; a great many of the men who voted for the preamble we'll knew.
 If the league of nations is good thing, let us have il. If it is bad thing, let us frankly say we will have none of it. Either position has the merit of frankneSs and fair dealing. What can be said for the declaration that we expect others to work for us but will make no promise to work for others; that We expect the rest of the world to take the lea que for better or worse, but that we shall take it only for better? And that is what we say in the treaty that Sen; or Lodge now has before the senatr.

X Wonder, Year of Science.

 While the Ane4a~ of a ction have been engaged in changing the old political order of thes@ea rtf, the men of science have been quietly making discoveries that may revolutohize accepted theo- ries of cosmic space.
 Thus an Italian professor claims to have disproveda Newtonjs theory of gravit ation and%%upset the laws of physics governing the motions of ce- lestial bodies,3 and an Italian clergy man is said to have invented a per petual calendar" which the, astrono- mer Herschel regarded as impossible. But most inuoi:ta ant tof all are the conclusions of the British observers of the total spAar eclipse of last May verifying the Hypothesis of the Swiss scientist Albert EEinstein that lieh t travels in a curve and not, as had been held, in aa straight line, the find = ines of %the eclipse expedition dem onstratinK that %rays of light from stars are bent or de1ected in passing < the sun.

Stick to the Issue.
New York Herald }

There is no court in America that can compel any miner or group of miners to work.-Dudley Field Ma lone.
 This is not the issue. The United States government, nor Attorney Gen eral Palmer, nor Judge Anderson makes any such claim. The privilege of an individual or group of indiVid uals to work or not to work is not questioned, provided the exercise of that privilege does not infringe on the rights of others or the public as a whole.
 Every constitutional right carries it's correspondins obliga tion. The issue In the miners strike is whether or not the United States government can enforce the o-called Lever law or any other law--which provides a penalty for interruption by one or more persons of the production and distribution of food and fuel.
 Instead of stirring up the unthink- ing hy indulging in cheap sophistrN, why not stick to the issue?

 The shooting is claimed to be the result of a campaign against agitators made by the American Legion and was staged With the express purpose of getting four leaders of the Le- slon, two of whom were actually shot dead. The foolhardy Reds opened lire from two buildings and then at tempted to escape, but many of them were grabbed by those whom they had attacked. It was in a tussle outside of the building that Smith killed Dale Hubbard The wonder of 1t IS that the eX-soldiers allowed the murderer to be taken to jail at all, but they did, getting him out later.

The Return of "16 to L."
Springfield Republican).

(SprlnS1eld Republican,.
 Memories of the "sacred ratio' of 16 to l are stirred by siIver's rise in the New York market yesterday to S1.3O an ounce on one sale and $1.29 1-2 an ounce on another A presidential election in this country once hinged on the issue of restoring silver to the coinage parity of 16 to 1 by government action in opening the United States mints to ''the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 10 l, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation"--as the democratic platform of 1896 phrased it.
 The American voters said no. and that ended it, so far as the re- estab lishment of bimetaism by legislative flat was concerned. But the law of supply and demand has now done what the American people refused to attempt by statute. At s1.29 1-5 an ounce the ratio of 16 to 1 between silver and cold is restored. The ratio might easily. move so as 10 increase still more the gold value of silver, if free exports of silver to India were maintained by the British goVernm ent. But the British government on Satur- day established export restrictions, obviously in order to prevent silver from going still higher.
 It is the enormous Indian demand, chiefly. in satisfaction of the Indian trade balance. that has caued silver to rise in price in the past five years to a level which it had not reached before since the early: 70s, But, at the same time. gold has become scarce in Europe and silver's production has tended to decline, while the use or silver in the industries and arts has increased. The world as a whole, too, has come to need silver to conduct it's business on the present scale of com modity prices.
 sixteen to one is no longer to be despised. It returns most fespectahie figure well dollar-marked, Tn It's own linn cuisine. .:

THE NEWS OF THE RECALL
 IN LABOR CIRCLES

We can readily imagine how the message of Acting President Lewis to the world announcing the can cellation of the strike order was re- celVed in the higher councils of labor which had voted to sustain the strike and to throw it's influence toward obtaining the demands of the miners. We are told that there was no hint of the impending action at the American Federation of Labor head quarters, that the first intima ton that the leaders had that the strike was to be called off was carried to them the fact. After denouncing the gov ernment and announcing that the right to strike" would be protected by every means at the command of organized labor, the federation had placed itself squarely on record, had committed itself, beyond doubt. The desertion of the faction about which the battle was destined to be waged III uSL nave been sumner ana we have unofficial word that the labor council is still unreconciled to the in junction proceedings despite the fact that the strike is over
 The right to strike, which labor claims, has actually not been ques- toned in this issue. There has been no attempt to restrain labor from striking excepting that the govern ment served notice that production of such q great necessity coal must not be interfered with, and that it in tended to act aganst those who did interfere with it. It was not the strike that we stopped, it was the, in reference with operations. It is hard to draw the line between the of the government met with great approval excepting among the labor leaders who see, or think that they see, their privileges disappearing F.
 Heavily yelled in the statements that have come forth from the inner circles we can trace threats to carry on strikes in other places which will prove the right, if nothing else. But, like the coal strike, d walkout staged as a defiance to the government and to the people may no succeed. If the radical element in organized labor must have this proven to it we be- lieve that the people will willingly do so, but it is time for the conser- vative American interests among the workingman to take over the helm of organized labor and show the game and play it fair.
