PRESIDENT AND SENATE.

The situation in the Senate, as regards the
treaty, is thus summed up by dyed-in-the-wool
Republican newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer:
'The Senate has wasted weeks is useless discus
sion. It's leadership-and we make the charge de-
fought off final consideration for
the purpose of allowing radical opponents of the
treaty to stalk around the country in effort to
deceive the public. The leadership Of the Foreign
Relations Committee early assumed an attitude
of intense hostility to the treaty. We mince no
words whatever and accuse this leadership of
downright lack of honesty. It's opposition is not
and has been because of any fear of the loss
Of American sovereignty. This opposition grew
out of the slight put upon the Senate by the Pres
ident when he stupidity and egotistically insisted
upon going it alone at the Paris conference. Ha-
treds were bred. The treaty marked for NUT
lation from the very start because of this hatred
We have said it before and repeat that Sena-
tors have not been able to rise above partisan
ship
Apart from the question of tact and calculat-
ing Cancellation, it is worth while to remember
that under the Constitution it is the President
right to negotiate treaty without any participa
ton whatever by Senate. And it is the Senator s
right to examine a treaty negotiated by the Pres
ident and decide whether it shall be ratified or
not. President Roosevelt not only negotiated a
treaty with San Domingo without the knowledge
Of the Senate but actually put it into operation six
months before the Senate even knew of it's exist
ance. He did not unpardonably offend, however,
because the Senate majority at that time happen
ed to be of his party. It is perfectly obvious
that there would now be less "hatred' for Wilson
than there was for Roosevelt if Wilson were of the
same party the Senate majority.

A WISE DECISION

Officials Of the navy department very
sensibly object 70 the proposition to
make a nonstop flight across the ocean
with the aircraft used by Lieutenant
Reed and Commander Towers in their
successful journey from New York to
Plymouth. Admiral Taylor, chief OF
division for construction and repairs
declares that the naval crafts are in
capable Of returning to this country
Nothing Is to be gained by foolhardiness
American representatives IN the aerial
contest have made 4 splendid record.
America Ia the nrst to cross the ocean
IN any kind Of a craft sailing in the air.
Undoubtedly, the ocean may be crossed
IN the near future by some heavier than
air machine without making stop. but
the chances are decidedly against such

Of our navy. so far az II 10 carrying on

BUY A DOLLARS WORTH

In common with all other cornmuni-
ties Of the nation. Wheeling this week
Is conducting a drive for associate MEM
bers of the Boy Scouts Of America II
IL desired to obtain 1000 members in this
vicinity at 81 each. Considering the
value Of the Boy Scouts to any commu-
nifty, and especially in view Of what the
Scouts did here during the war. this
seems like a very modest goal.
Invest a dollar in boyhood and de-
velop manhood" is the slogan OF the
drive. and expresses sentiment thas
should appeal powerfully to everybody.
The Boy Scouts have shown that they
deserve the support of the community.
The backing that is now being asked
will strengthen and encourage them to
win new victories. No one IS being
asked to give a dollar for the pleasure
OF the boys, but to enable them to per-
form greater service for the general pub
lie and for the nation. They have moro
than paid their way in Wheeling, and
will continue TO do so.
A boost for the Boy Scouts means
boost for all that is worth while for
the Scouts teach every boy to be hon
est and honorable. and to strive after
mental and physical development. Isn't
it worth your while to risk dollar on
that?.

THEY WANT TO GET EVEN

A dispatch FROM one OF the German
TONED states that the soldiers Of the
Allied powers, as rule, are hopeful
that Germany will not sign the peace

agree to the proposed terms will give
the Allied soldiers q chance to impose
military terms more severe than those
laid down In tho treaty. Since the sign
INK OF tho armistice the soldaery Of the
Allies have had q chance to compare UNI
damaged Germany with mutilated Bel
kium and France. and the comparison
has not been conducive TO their desire
fot an early settlement OF all questions.

that the Job was not we'll done and
