PAY OF CITY OFFICERS.

In commenting upon the failure Of
some municipalities to keep proper
check on expenditure Of municipal
fands the comment having been
brought out through the discovery that
Barre was paying for street lighting
service which it had not received, the
Rutland News remarks: Every mu-
nicipaity should have system of
regularly checking up its bills. But
here is the situation: The city expects
its officials, mayor and aldermen, to do
the public business for the honor of it.
II pays them nothing. And it is ever
lastingly true in the long run that
what costs nothing is worth what it
costs. One of the great needs in all of
the cities is businesslike system
which is the cheapest and most efficient
in the end" There is no fault to find
with the contemporary call for a
"businesslike system; such system
is very much to be desired in any com.
munity But when the contemporary
speaks about city officials--mayor and
aldermen working for nothing, the
application does not apply to Barre,
however much it may apply to Rut-
land and some other places To be
sure, Barre does not pay a munifcent
salary to its mayor and aldermen; but
those officials do not work for nothing
by any means, while at the same time
they are permitted to continue in their
own vacations. The mayor Of Barre
gets $500 year fiat salary and the
aldermen get 80 cents an hour for their
services, whether those services be in
attendance at meetings Of the city
council or Of committees or Of checking
up the street lights, etc. That is not
entirely giving their services to the
municipality, as literal Interpretation
Of the Rutland contemporaries re-
marks would lead one TO think was the
intent of its comment If there are
any municipalities of the size Of Barre
and Montpelier, which are not paying
their mayor and aldermen, it would
seem that the amount of work required
demands some remuneration.

President Departs for France
Without Senate's Approval
of Nations League.
CHANGES MAYB NECESSARY
FiIibuster in Senate Kills Urgent Bills
and Early Extra Session 10 Pre-
Progress Of the Peace
Conference Delegates
in Paris.
BY EDWARD W. pIckARD.

When President Wilson sailed away
on his return trip to France last Wed
nesdiy there must have been some
bitterness in his soul. For a very
considerable part of the senate had re-
fused to accept his dictates concern-
ing the constitution of the league of
nations, and congress had adjourned
under circumstances that seem to
make necessary the early calling Of an
extra session despite the presidents
fiat declaration that he would not sum-
mon the new congress until his return
from Paris.
Mr.. Wilson, In his speech in New
York, asserted that the great majority
of the American people favor a league
Of nations, and there is no doubt OF
the truth of the assertion. 1t Is ia.
vored, too, by great majority of the
senators, but many Of them, and pre-
sumably many private citizens, do not
favor the constitution of the league
rs 1t now stands. The president has
told us that it Is practically impossible
now to amend the drafted constitution,
but that he is mistaken In this Is the
opinion of the opposing senator's, and,
according to recent dispatches from
Paris, some of the delegates to the
peace conference agree with them.
After 80 Republican hold-over senator's
and senators-elect had signed round
robin declaring that the league con-
hat
1t should mot be considered further
until the peace treaty had been rati-
fed, it was plain to the administra-
ton leaders, If not TO the president,
that some compromise was. necessary.
Therefore, possibly with the authoriZa-
tion of Mr.. Wilson, Senator Hitchcock
asked Senator Knox to draft the
amendments which he and other Re-
publican senators desire. NAt this writ
ing the results of this step are not
known, but it seemed likely that. Il the
president should concede some Of the
changes asked, the senator's would con
sent to making the league an integral
part of the peace treaty. On this lat
ter point The president takes deter
mined stand, telling his New York
audience that when the treaty comes
back for ratification 1--WE will find the
covenasA not only in it, but so many
threads of the treaty tied to the cove
nant that you cannot dissect the cove
nant from the treaty without destroy
ing the whole vital structure"
That n majority of the American
people are in favor of the league con-
stitution us 1t now stands Is doubted
by Senators Borah, Lodge, Knox and
others of it's opponents They say they
are receiving numerous letters daily
that protest against it, and are willing
that It should be submitted to nation
wide referendum. Though the ques
tion seems to be drifting into the Held
Of partisan politics, 1t must be said
that a number of Democratic senator's
are as much against the present league
plan as are the Republicans who signed
the round robin, while some Republi-
cans are heartily supporting the presi-
dent. in the next senate there will be
at least % votes against the league
plan. and SO will be enough to prevent
its ratification.

When the Sixty-fifth congress gave
up the ghost at noon, March 4, vast
deal of important legislation, including
appropriations of about S3,O0O0O0,OoO,
was left unfinished: This was due to
a personal filibuster conducted by
Senators Sherman, France and La Fol-
lette. They assumed all responsibility
in their murderOuS warfare and why
any criminal court in America, Great
Britain, France or Belgium Is not COM
petent to try the accused individuals,
whatever may have been their rank.
Eminent legal bodies in several coun-
tries have reached conclusions at total
variance with the reported finding OF
the commission over which Lansing
presides. The Pan.German league alsp
is taking steps to protect the ex-kaiser
from justice, having issued procla-
nation declaring the national assembly
or the Ebert government is In honor
bound TO furnish him safe retreat on
German soil.
