COUNTRIES WITHOUT RESPON.
SIBLE GOVERNMENT.

One Of the serious difficulties OF the
Peace Conference is the countries
without responsible governments. The
Conference can not deal with Mexico
or Russia, because neither Of these
countries have governments whose
Representatives can be safely dealt
with by the representatives of the
other nations assembled at Versailles.
And now comes Senator Knox with a
resolution which in substance is a
notice to the Peace Conference that
the United States of America is in
the same class with Mexico and Rus
STA and the other irresponsible coun-
tries of Central and Eastern Europe.
The Knox resolution does not deny
the constitutional right and legal duty
OF the President to negotiate the Peace
Treaty but it does notify the repre-
sentatives of the other nations with
whom he is dealing that Republican
Senate proposes to rip up and knock
out the treaty which the President is
helping to negotiate. In other words
gives notice to the world that our
foreign relations are Mexicanized. The
brand of politics behind this Knox
resolution is viciously bad and we
do not believe that it will ever lie
passed by the Senate.

ANOTHER ALL.1MpoRTANT WEEK.

. r.
Peace or renewal of the war is
again uppermost in the affairs OF the
world. Last Monday the Peace Con-
ference replied to the German protests
and delivered the amended treaty with
an ultimatum that it must be accepted
within five days, or there would be q
renewal Of the war.
What will Germany do? OF course
no one at this writing can say for
certainty. But what is there left
for Germany to do, except to agree
to the terms imposed, or cease to
exist as nation? 1t is quite probable
that the French would like to have
the Germans refuse to sign the Peace
Treaty. In that event the tri-colored
flag Of France would soon wave over
Berlin, as the German flag waved over
Paris in 1871. That would be proud
day for France, but of no benefit to
mankind. We hope that the treaty
win be signed by all Of the warning
nations and we believe that it will
be.

LABOR FAYORS LEAGUE OF Ma.
TIONS.

At its recent delegate convention the
American Federation of Labor, an or
ganization consisting of $3.50, 900 men,
bers, placed itself on record as fav-
oring the League of Nations. Human
ity the world over is ready to support
an earnest endeavor to put an end
to war. Humanity has paid a stupen-
dous price for lasting peace More
than 100000 men were killed and
more than 100000 were wounded or
otherwise disabled in the great world
war. Is not that price enough, to say
nothing about the property losses, to
pay for something better than the old
conditions which made such a war
possible? Unless these old conditions
can be changed these millions died
in vain, and the other millions will
suffer in vain.
Viewed from our standpoint, the
man who desires a continuance of
the conditions which produced the
world war is a cruel, heartless crea-
Ture, devoid of all sympathy for hu-
manly That kind of men are not
going to shape the future of this coun-
try or any other country.

Mr.. Root, who is a prominent Re-
publican and admittedly the ablest
lawyer in America, administered a
singing rebuke to the Lodges and Bor-
abs while testifying before a Sena-
torial committee few days ago. He
openly told them that the President
was clearly within his legal rights
and duty in all that he had done in
reference to the peace treaty. In
substance he also told them that their
political play was not particularly
harmful, unless it withdrew the at
tention Of the Senate from the serious
business Of the country

NAGGERs INSTEAD OF STATES
MEN.

AT this crucial period in world re-
construction it is unfortunate that this
country has many naggers instead Of
statesmen in the United States Sen
ate
No peace treaty has yet been agreed
upon. In fact the first draft has un-
dergone so many changes that TIE
document was entirely rewritten last
week
No one knows any better than the
Lodges and Borahs and other Senator
ial naggers that they have nothing to
do with this country's delicate for
eign relations pertaining to the
negotiation Of a peace treaty with
Germany, or, any other treaty for that
matter.
In due time the United States Sen
ate, the British Parliament and the
French Chamber Of Deputies will re-
ceive official copies Of the peace treaty,
but not until then will any of these
legislative bodies be charged with any
duty in relation to the treaty.
So far as we have been able to learn
no French deputy, or member of the
British House Of Commons has indulg-
ed In any bucking, or plunging, or
threatening like our Senatorial nag
gers are INDUCING in. The members Of
these foreign Legislative bodies, with
out exception, seem to be statesmen
and gentlemen who are willing to
walt patiently until the treaty is Aego-
tiated and signed by their country's
duly accredited representative. They
are not spouting out what they are
going to do, before they have right
to do any thing, like some of this
cOuntry's senators. l}

THE GOLDEN RULE AMONG Ma
TTONS.

Those who believe that this; coun-

money, not for land but to help es-
tablish golden rule among nations
were delighted by DR.. Medbury's
Chautauqa lecture in this city Mon
day evening. His argument in favor
of the League Of Nations is unanswer-
able. We trust that some senator
may be able to cover the entire sub
ject and present it as ably and con-
vincingly in the United States Sen
ate as Dr. Medbury does before a

M0NDELL DISAPPOINTED.
Report of June l Call of Congress
Brings Statement,

Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
who is to be republican floor leader
of the House. has expressed disappoint-
ment over the announcement by Senator
Martin, democratic floor leader of the
Senate, of his opinion that President
Wilson would not call Congress in extra
session before June !.
Il very much regret to hear that the
President is apparently fixed in his
determination not to assemble Con-
gress before his return to this coun-
try. 1 think it is tremendously inn
portant that Congress be convened
not later than May 1 so as to take up
the work on many problems growing
out of the war. as well as to provide
for the current needs of the govern
ment. commencing July 1. and to sup
ply the great deficiencies in the ap-
preparations.
Refusal to assemble Congress be-
fore June l will mean one of two
things. that either we will have to
pass ethe great appropriation bills
without giving them due considera-
ton or will have to resort to con-
tinuing resolutions, which. in the
circumstances. are highly undesir.
able"
