The Treaty Iie-Up

Senator Cummins has the coun-
try with him IN urging prompt ac-
ton on the German peace treaty.
It is evident that the time has come
for a vote. Delay was unavoidable
while Senators were making up
their minds. Now a clear majority
policy has been worked out, and fur
thor maneuVering is useless.
The country wants TO see every
element in the Senate have 4 far
chance to put It's views and prefer
ences on record. There is no obstacle
under the Senate rules to vote on
any proposition advanced by the
minority of the Foreign Relations
Committee or by individual Senators.
Substitutes for the reservations re-
ported by the committee or for the
preamble of the resolution Of ratifi-
cation are IN order III the Senate.
They have, IN fact, d parliamentary
precedence. for they must be voted
OF before action is taken on the
committees proposals.
Mr. Hitchcock Is therefore disin-
penuous when he intimates that The
minority may be deprived Of a far
hearing unless hs demand for a
special and irregular procedure is
granted He wants to have the
minority reservations voted on not
only before the majority ones are
reached but after the latter have
been embodied in the resolution Of
ratification This is against sound
parliamentary practice. The minor
ty has It's undisputed chance 10
cverrule the committee ana consti-
tutc itself a majority. Why should
il demand two chances, or an il
definite series of chances?
Mr.. IIitchcocl's idea seems to be
that The commttee's reservations will
be adopted after the minority's alter
native suggestions are elected. Then
ne expects to defeat the resolution Of
ratification. But he wants an assur-
ance from the majority that the mi
norjty, after defeating the resolu-
ton, viii be allowed to reopen the
fight for notifications. As Senator
Lodge and Senator McCumbel. both
pointed out, only majority can
control procedure Ii Mr.. Hitchcock
lacked q majority he would face ex-
actly the same situation after rejec-
ton which ne faces now. He would
have to vote on d resolution ap-
proved by the majority.
The Senator from Nebraska has
had several months in which TO ere
ate majority for such reservations
which he and his followers are Will
ing to support. Ele could have COM
promised long ago with the mild
1cseryatlon:st" Republicans II he
had been a free ag9it and. in addi-
ton, had had the s. j z to effect such
compromise. But his tactics were

The Local Triumph

The triumphant reelection Of JUS
tice Ncwburger and the election of
Philip ]. McCook to be justices Of
the Supreme Court constitute the
most stinging rebuke of boss con-
troll of the courts that New York
has ever known.
With an impudence equal to that
Of Boss Croker when he denied a re
nomination to Joseph I. DAILY
Charles T. Murphy assumed the
role of judge-maker, and to show
the plcnitude of his power pulled
out Of his vest pocket the name of
Irwin Untermyer, a preposterous
choice He assumed that the public
could not be aroused concerning the
result Of a judicial election. Hap
PLY he was mistaken. The people
propose to have public, not private,
ownership Of the courts.
The victory is not only for the
principle Of free and independent
judiciary. but for every honest judge
on the bench and every judge who
wants TO be honest. 1t is hereafter
to be safe for judge to consult the
interests Of the public and of the
itigants in the distribution of what
is called patronage" Judges viii
no longer be tempted to go hat in
hand to the boss to prove to him
that concerning matters in which he
is interested they have been obedient
Equally gratifying is the result
the municipal contests. At tbs
hour Of writing Major La Guardia
seems to have been certainly elected
President Of the Board Of Aldermen
and Henry II. Curran probably
elected President Of Manhattan
Thus Hearst-Hylanism is rcbukod as
we'll as Murphyism.
The election IS notable as the
first in a long time in which the Re
publicans, without fusion, have car
riod New York City. This is be
cause Chairman Koenig and his as
sociates OF the Republican organiza-
ton played politics in the new way
not the old--saw to it that there
was a ticket above suspicion anC
which made as strong an appeal tc
Independents as 10 regular Requb
Leans.

In other words, the German IS trying

More than all else his propaganda IS
designed to reach Americans. For The
German recognizes how little the mass cf

is being circulated in the United States
at the present hour by so-called liberal

The truth of the situation IS fairly
plain. At the moment When the Ger

them are made of taffeta silk or crepe
