State Bank Examiner George II.

Follows:
1T seems to me that the state bank
examiner, either principal or deputy,

that they should be necessarily REL
Garded as needing treatment, but with
the sympathetic attitude calling for
effort to maintain them In d constant
state OF robust health that they may
fully discharge their greatly beneficial
normal functions In their o0mmuni-
ties. We all known the old fashioned
family doctor. who brought us into
the world, watched us grow up. told US
what school to go to, advised us on a
thousand things besides when to take

If any RESERVATIONS or interpreta'
lions are made by the senate, said
Senator Hitchcock Saturday, they
should be made under the approval
OF the president
Senator Hitchcock or course know
ing nothing oil the kind. Ii any reser-
vati0ns or Interpretations are made
and they should by all means be made
by the senate-they should be made
regardless OF the d~isapproyal or ap-
proval OF the president, in the dis
charge OF the constitutional and pat
riotic duty of the senate.
We believe Mr.. Hitchcock is one of
those who is most deeply panied be-
aust the naughty senators endeayor
to poster and nag and hurt the tender
s%ensibilities of the executive. Yet
here we find him again urging that
the entire treaty making power be
lett TO the president, and deprecating
the thought of the senate acting for
the country rather than acting under
orders 81 Mr. Wilson.
The president is bound TO consult
with and receive the advice and con
sent of.the senate in the matter of the
ratification of a treaty.
SO far Mr., Wilson has taken the at
titude that advice and consent are
vested IN the executive. He has been
liberal with his advice to the senate
-adVice to leave the treaty alone. He
las consistently withheld his consent
TO have the senate act Independently
Oh his direction
Mr.. Hitchcock in his remarkable
declaration that the senate can only
suggest such changes in the treaty as
the president endorses makes himself
iudicrous as a senator and as the
presidents spokesman deliberately
bids again for we'll founded senatorial
resentment and hostility.
The majority Of even republican
senators during the past week have
shown Difference to the presidents
views. Their attitude generally has
been please, Mr.. President, IL you
could just see your way clear to Net
ms make reservations. etc, etc. One
senator went 20 far as't0 tell him the
treaty would not be ratified unless
certain reservations we're made, but
that seems to have been the excep-
tion.
The senate's duty is plain; to ratify
the treaty with vitality necessary

president so far as possible. and Sc.
