The preamble Of the revised covenant
says The contracting parties "agree TO

constitution"
An improvement in the direction Of
honesty. There is no constitution; at
most a spineless and inconsistent agree

sumed and nullined by negative ones,
thus making it equally unsatisfactory

The principal alterations are four,

this one scarcely has an alveOlar pro-

sanctionless arrangement, less specific
than the Hague convention, erects a de-
batting society whose resolutions, If
any miraculously meet the requirement
OF unanimity, are energized by only a
few grains Of moral gunpowder.

ment provides that In the council Of

Our Awful Burden
From Harvey's Weekly

ly understood and agreed in the pre-
cedlng debate that only as a measure
Of actual war emergency would the
authority granted be exercised. It was
even urged by the administration
spokesman, that the lines might never
be taken over-that the critical war
conditions making such a step neces-
sary might not arise.
All Of which was sham pure and
simple. When the telegraph and tele-
phone lines were seized, the arnlistice
which destroyed the Germans power
Of resistance had been signed. When
the cables were seized the President
had already formally assured Congress
that the war was over. Il was not TO
meet a condition Of a mere technical
state Of war that executive authority
was granted. IL was 10 meet a possible
emergency Of actual, active warfare
The seizure, when all danger Of such
an emergency had passed was wholly
immoral. If not actual illegal. II the
wires were illegally seized by the po-
liticalmaster- general, the question Of
whether he is not open to lmpeach-
ment and removal from office may well
engage the attention Of the coming ses-
sion Of Congress. As a matter Of fact
almost the only hope Of getting rid
Of him during the present admlnlstra-
tion rests on the institution and suc-
cess OF some sort OF Congressional
action. The chances that the President

The Revised Covenant
lFrom the New York tribune.

I this means needs no description. II the
issue is one to secure unanimity IL will
be easily adjusted by ordinary diplo-
macy. II not so resolvable, then a de-
cislon is impossible. In the case Of
Fiume, Italy could veto the judgment
OF the eight others.
The next amendment gives a right to
withdraw on two years notice. Thus
is added another element Of disintergra-
tion. The covenant has been falsely
likened TO the American Federal Union.
Yet one looks vainly 10 End in our
Constitution a similar free privilege Of
secession. The requirement for two
years notice is, OF course, OF little
deterrent value. A dlssentient, by not
appointing delegates, would be able 70
quit practically at will.
The third change prescribes that the
league may not pass on domestic ques-
tions." What are domestic questions is
underlined. except that they are to be
what international law recognizes as
such. But international law notoriously
traces no clear line between domestic
and international questions. Tariff poll

Unquestionably one OF the first things
that Congress viii do when IL reas-
sembles VIII be to rescue the tale-
phone, telegraph and cable lines from
the grip Of the politicalmaster general.
Plans to that end as well as plans for
a thorough investigation and exposure
OF the wreckage of the mail service
are already taking shape. A mass Of
data has been collected which, when
published. will make record Of stu
p dity and incompetence in the handling
Of the postal service alone such as has
rarely. If ever, been matched in the
history OF governmental incompetence.
Supplement this with the tens Of
thousands Of Individual cases Of COM
plant from one end Of the country TO
the other, and the urgent necessity OF
eiecting Mr.. Burleson from otllce will
be so apparent that the Presidents
duty in the premises viii be incon-
iestably obvious.
That Mr.. Wilson will rise TO this
duty is rather more than doubtful,
however cleac beyond question II may
be that nothing short Of Mr. Burle-
sons removal will meet the wishes OF
a long-sunering public now aroused to
a point little short Of a nationwide
oulburst Of rage.
II the President should stubbornly
refuse to lift this blight from the
Postoflce Department, The end may pos
sibly be attained by process Of i'm
peachment. The seizure OF the cable
lines and OF the telegraph and tele-
phone lines, after the signing Of the
aomistlce, were acts OF dubious legal
lty, to say the least. AS has been re-
cited so often on the floor of Con-
gress and in the press throughout the
country, the resolution granting auth
ority for these seizure was passed sole
ly as a war measure. It was distinct

A man may have as much right
to wear his pants short as girl
wears her skirt. But he hasn't as
much show.
There isn't much the matter
with any broken heart that can
be healed by money awarded by a
jury.
When a woman sighs and says
that her late husband is better
off now, we agree with her. She
ought to know.
Every time woman is left
alone to hustle for four or five lit
tie kids the neighbors take a re-
newed interest in life insurance.

forces us to wear in self defense
and where we pour out the unre-

any dread of ridicule.-W. F. Rob-
