RATIFYING CONSTITUTIONS.

The world and particularly America in spite Of
our democracy. has always had ample coterie Of
reactionaries to block the wheels Of progress. II
the constitution OF League Of NatoEs does have
hard shedding when it comes TO formal ratification
II will not be at all contrary TO precedent Most
Americans in their cheerful delusion that the early
affairs OF the republic were conducted with miracu
lous unanimity quite overlook the rocky road the
constitution OF the United States had TO travel
That document required about much time TO
draft as the present League covenant is taking It
was finally signed and submitted to the 10 states
Sept. L. 1897. The constitutional convention had
agreed It unanimously, after long debate. but
there was no such agreement among the sovereign
states they represented.
only three states. Delaware Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. ratified the constitution in that
year. n the following year ratified by eight
more; Georgia Connecticut Massachusetts,, Mary
land. South Carolina. Hampshire. Virginia and
New York North Carolina did not ratify il and
into the Union until Nov. 21 1889, eight
months after George Washington had taken his Of
Zee as president; and Rhode Island waited until
May 20. 1890 two years and half after the
stitution had been submitted.
The conflict OF opinion over the document was as
marked as this long delay Only three state conven-
tions approved it unanimously Massachusetts rati-

were disputes about the League Of Nations about

Nearly every nation represented has seemed, at

locks in special matters the other matters moved
right along. Even these partial deadlocks so far

Very apparently there has been more smoke than

aggerated the friction, else the delegates have
had unexampled gift for composing their diff

the spirit Of quarrel and selfseeking. Those many
ianguaged representatives OF IA different nations

TO establish the whole worlds future. have got
along on the whole. amicably and made more
rapid progress than any United States congress of
recent memory.

THE TEST QUESTION.
New York WORLDLY

Why didn't Pres't Lowell of Harvard university
put this question to Sen. Lodge
Suppose this drafted covenant Of a League of
Nations, with minor Qualifications. be the
only one practicable and attainable through the
agreement OF the nations whose participation is
recognized needed to insure the leagues
success
win Sen Lodge vote to have the United States
in League of Nations rather than in one estab-
lished upon the article of the proposed covenant?
That is the real test.
Sen Lodge and others lose sight of the
suit of already extended discussion scrutiny. claim
counter-claim and compromise on the part of able
representatives of the powers chiefly concerned.
That those powers would consent TO a covenant
radically revised and redrawn with special view
To the exclusive interests of any of them is in
the highest degree improbable.
As Prest Lowell points out, admitting that the
covenant is not perfect and that even when per-
fected il will be perfect"

many people within each nation. 1t is

That greater good is something from which Sen.
Lodge and other opponents Of the present covenant

The greater good in this is attainabe
