AS They See the Senate.

There were reasons, enough and
real, for the urge to the senate to en-
body the requisite reservations and
pass the act ratifying the peace treaty
without the somewhat sentimental
plea of the president that formal
peace will mean so much. Few people
took stock in. that proposition. But
what many people are revolving in
their minds is the obstacle the hang
ing treaty presents to the other i'm
portant affairs demanding the atten-
tion of the senate. The not very
grave and certainly not reverend
seigniors Of that body cannot settle
down to business that is without poll
tics while this treaty, chock full of
politics, is absorbing it's energies. Be-
sides those people who want the treaty
ratified on it's own account are those
others who want it disposed of so that
the senate may earn it's pay handling
the important domestic questions.
