John Hays Opinion of the Senate.
 (NeW York WOrld.)

John Hay was secretary of state under two republican presidents, Will liam Mckinley and Theodore Roose- welt. As secretary of state, Mr. Hay had much practical experience with the United States senate as part of the treaty-making power of the gov ernmcnt
 What Mir. Hay thought of the sen ate in the discharge of that function is related in The Education of Henry Adams':
 "A treaty of peace in any normal state of things ought to be ratified with unanimity in tWenty-fOur hours. They wasted six weeks in Wrangling over this one and ratified it with one vote to spare. We have five or six matters now pending settlement, ] can settle them, honDrably and "1 EantageOuSlN to our side; and ] am assured by leading men in the sen ate that not one of these treaties if negotiated will pass the senate. I should have a majority in every case, but d malcontent third would cer- tainly dish every one of them. To such monstrous shape has the orig inal mistake of our constitution grown in the evolution of our politics. You
 
 solution the senate will reject. They will reject, for instance, any treaty on any subject with England. I doubt if they would accept any treaty of consequence with Russia or Germany. The rccalcitrant third would be diff fcrontly composed, but it would be on hand"
 John Hay was describing the sen ate of twenty years ago, after the spanish American war, but two de- cades have brought no change in the exercise of it's "Advice and con- sent" in the making of treaties. The "*reca1citrant third" is ever present, except when it is clubbed into sub mission by public opinion. When the country can be aroused as to the importance of any particular treaty, the treaty is ratified. When popu- lar sentiment fails to act. the treaty i.7 butchercd.
 None of the opponents of the league of nations ventures to say that a majority of the senate can ever be mustered against it. All of them are banking their hopes on the malcOn- tent minority which began it's cam paicn of antaeonism before it had even read the proposed constitution of the league.

Putting the Beast in Leash.
Providence Journal.l

Important among the guarantees which Germany will be required to furnish to keep the peace is enforced disarmament. Two years ago, Gen eral won Freytag- nghoven, who had been quartermaster general of the German army when Talkenhayn was chief of staff, being shelved after the failure at Nerdun. wrote book devoted to the consideration of the reorganization of German military power after the W1r-Which he al ready apprehended could not be won even if if were not lost dsastrously But there will be no reorganization according to his plan or any other German plan. The conference of Paris will dictate it.
 Ii is now reported that the supreme council has come to an agreement on two essential features of this protec- tive measure--the Germany army will be limited to a strength of one hun dred thousand men, with the enlist nlent period to run for twelve years That would be a standing establish ment of about the size of the army of the United States prior to the war Practically, Germany would be dis armed, for a force of one or even two hundred thousand professional sol diers would be no menace to Europe.
 The term of enlistment is vital consideration in any arrangement for putting Germany n leash. Napoleon, after he had crushed Prussia, thought to check her military recovery per manentlE by requiring that she should not rccrea1e her armies be- NOnd the strength of q national pO- lice. Prussia compiled with the man. date as long as she had to, but in the meantime devised and put in operation an ingenious plan by which she passed her entire population of military age through the little stand ing army. A short enlistment term was the basis of this scheme, and the result was that before Napoleon S power was broken Prussia was well in arms she afterWard did become
 If a tWelVe-year term is now re Ouired, the effect will be that, instead of millions of Germans trained for military service during the coming generation, there will be only few hundred thousand. Additional pre- cautions will presumably be taken against training in secret--as through semi military organizations, societies or clubs ostensibly under private aus piccs but actually supported by the government

State Sc!tO0l Reform.

While there is reason Fo vigorously
 Rrotest aeainst the methods of the
 SDInnlittee of education in the general 8Nsenl bly, in drafting new education #bil1 behind closed doors and reVcrting Etp star chamber m&thods which are KUbsolete it will be well to deal with Ethe new bill upon it's merits, when it lis allowed to see the light of day. The epublic of the state has been effcctual- Ely aroused over this matter and it is |lnlil1ely that anything to which they sexpress unanimous disapprOVal will have much chance of becoming law
 What is needed is a vigilart watch over this bill which is being con- ceived in secrecy. If it follows in the footsteps of the Morrison code it is sure to meet with such opposition, no matter who it's sponsors. that it will be beaten to a frazzle. But if, on the other hand, the sponsors of that dis credited bill have learned wisdom from experience and have given heed to tho protests of teachers and parents there is a chance that a measure which recognizes these pro- tests and is framed to meet the ob- jections can secure the approval of the legislature. representing the people.
 Frankly we do not look for any such develOpm ent but it is possible. Patience alone is aneeued in relation to this problem, Some time the bill that is being drafted will have to be brought out into the open and then it can be discussed fearlessly and with the interests of the schools of the state at heart. Just at present, since no one but it's sponsors know what it is to contain, we shall have to wait upon developments.
 Certainly the people of the cities and towns of the state will accept no measure that centralizes the power to control the public schools in Hart ford in the hands of one commits sloner. Municipal and town govern ments will not abdicate entirely their proper power to supervise the educa. ton of the children of their district. We look to see a full and free dis CusSion of the whole matter when the new bill is made public. Neither parents nor teachers are asleep and If this new bill is to be merely a cam ouf]age for the old Morrison code 1t is going 10 meet the same fate.

Constitutional Weaknesses.
(Sprin gfield Republican,

It is well known to students of Am erican history that the federal constitution could not have been adopted and carried into effect, with out the virtual promise of the first 10 amendments. The first congress passed these amendments and sent them to the states for ratification at it's first session in .17S9 and they were quickly adopted. They were needed to overcome the objections, doubts and fears which found eX- pression in several states during the contest over the adoption of the constitution. If the constitution of the league of nations has to be amended to satisfy objcctors, it's ex- perience will simply parallel that of the United States constitution, which Gladstone pronounced the greatest state paper ever struck off within given period by the brain of man.

Think of the money he put into the New London team, and the part his money had in keeping other teams alive, including Waterbury's.

 But MT. Plant was a very practical man. He kept some rather large business going at the same time that he was motoring about the New Eng land circuit as a fan, He provided that all these should continue after his death But he let baseball out. of it after he got through with it. Per haps he thought that without him to watch it his money alone wouldn't ac- COmplish much. Perhaps he was glad to quit. It was some ungTate- ful burden to carry. We som etimes wondered why he held on. We are sure there is no other like him. And sorry too.

MAKING THE HEN LAY.

Farmers and amateur hen raiSerS who have been burning up their men, tai energy trying to figure out why hen lays more eggs at some seasons than at others may look to Professor James l.. Rice of Cornell. It is claimed by the professor that artif- cial lighting when the days are ''short'' will solve the problem and he encourag gcs the lighting of GOODS in order that the wary hen may be de- ceivcd and think the sun has not set.
 '"To understand it's philosophy we must bear in mind that the domestic fowl was once a native of the trop- ics,' Professor Rice says. By na- ture the hen was made to fit the tropical night SO that by artificial light we leave not more than ten hours between supper and breakfast
 Far he it from {; 5;kcptical city dWeller to contra dict an expert such as Professor Rice but his theory ap- pears to be q little thin in places He says the domestic fowl was originally more than mere change of light It meant a different climate, different food in fact an entirely different mode of living.

TANKS IN RUSSIA
 YEARN FOR BATH TUB
Russian Baths Arc Not as Enjoyable as Those Back in the Good
 Old U. $. X.

ATChanGel, March II (Corrcsp0n- dence of The Associated Press The soldier of the American North Rus sian Expedition misses the American bathtub and it's simplicity and frc- Quency. He is annoyed at the rcrc- mOny and difficulty one must under go to obtain a Russian bath Only in the homes of the wealthy, in the cities, and rarely, if ever, in the will lages is it possible 10 find a bathtub or a shower
 The Russian bath is a steam bath in an alright room, where water is thrown on a stove to mako steam. The bather then abuses himself lib eraliN with buckets of water after per spiring.
 Some of the Americans. fortunate enough to be in permanent biIlets or barracks built by the engineers, have their own modern shower baths, but those in the villages patronize the Russian institution.
 In ArChangel, there are two bath houses. each having accommodations for hundred or so customers in the private rooms with tubs and showers in the bath houses and these are booked for days in advance by off ceTS and soldiers.
 One of these private rooms is really a suite, as elaborate as if it were in tended to accomm odate a guest for a week instead of for the brief period of 8 bath.
