triple contract between the noble dead the living and the
unborn
The victory for Americanism. American principles,
American traditions, American independence, has been
achieved after the longest and fullest debate any treaty
ever had in the Senate The people and strongly
In favor of cooperation between nations to preserve
peace.
But the league of nations which the Senate and the
country has rejected aud which the voters of the country
would reject by overwhelming majority any referen
dun is the secret control of world business and dvid
ing OF world territoryan international intrigue
into peace treaty by secret diplomacy, accepted and
condoned by President Wilson in Paris calling itself
league of nations, but in reality league of politicians,
making hypocrcal high professions of virtue but doing
acts OF treachery, wrong and injustice.
President Wilson undoubtedly will be grievously
wounded in his feelings and disappointed in his
ambitions by the Senae's final rejection of his treaty
He knows that the country has rejected upon full
consideration, his appeal to it to compel the Senate to
carry out his personal secret engagements.
He realizes, of that his treaty killed by
public discussion; that his tour to the country
against the Senate really aroused the country against the
treaty. changing not less than Democratic votes the
Senate against all their party and personal ncnations,
and forcing them from the highest of public duty to
oppose the treaty.
President Wilson probably sincerely believes that
majority of the Senate and majority of the people
wrong and that he is right Other Presidents and states
have made the mistake only to discover finally
that the majority of the people right and they them
selves mistaken.
Secretary of State John Hay likewise firmly believed
that he right in negotiating the first Hay Pauncefoe
treaty for the Panama Canal.
That treaty, formulated by shrewd British diplomats
forbade the United States to build forts any other per-
manent defenses for the canal
The Hearst papers bitterly opposed this treaty and
said "better canal than undefended cana' They
said that any Isthmian canal without impregnable fort
would be seized by any enemy having naval forces
superior and thus make concentration of our
fleet from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
Pacific to the Atlantic impossible
Secretary Hay regarded the defeat of this treaty. the
work of two years negotiation encompassng his life
failure as statesman. He rendered his resignation to
President Mckinley. But the collective wisdom of the
Mc.,nley.
The rejected treaty rewritten, and year later
ratified This time it AMERICAN treaty permit

month ago, in public meeting Mr.. Herbert s.
Houston founder and vice president of the League En-
force Peace, said
'sWho Is the real leader of the real oppo-

tions-indeed, the real leader in the whole
country? Il Is William Randolph Hearst,
who Is using all the power of his news
papers, from the Atlantic to the Pacific to
keep America from entering the League of
Nations"
Mr. Houston intended these words to be denupca
ton.
We accept them the highest praise
But this is no victory of any man or of any one
newspaper or Of any association of newspapers
This is great and wonderful victory of the thinking

Fifty-six years ago. the nineteenth day of Novem-
ber 1868, Abraham Lincoln, standing upon that holy
ground hard by Gettysburgs famous field where sleep
the men who there died that the Republic might live
spoke these memorable words:
1T is, rather, for US to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before US, that
from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion; that we
here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this Nation, under
God, shall have new birth of freedom;
and that government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish from
the earth.''
1t is altogether fitting that the great victory in the
Senate chamber shall have occurred upon the
versary OF Abraham Lncolns high and splendid decara
ton of the principles of American Government and Ameri
can liberty.
Upon the nineteenth day of this present month of
November this nation, under God has indeed had new
birth of freedom, has indeed rearmed to all mankind
that within its borders at least of the people,
by the people, for the people, shall perish from the
earth.
