Is 1t Only . Scrap OF Paper Pro-
posed by the President?

The prepared address delivered in
the Senate yesterday by Senator
LODGE of Massachusetts, on the pro-
posed constitution for the League of
Nations was written before Mr.. LODGE
attended the White House dinner
party to the Committee on Foreign
Relations and the Committee on For
eign Affalrs at which President Will
son explained and defended his Brit
ish plan for the creation Of super
nation. 1t was, like all Of Mr.. LoDGE's
contributions to political philosophy
a learned and felicitous document,
rich in historical facts, Illuminated by
complete familiarity with our institu-
lions, and instinct with its author s
sympathetic comprehension OF Ameri-
can genius for self-government and
American passion for Independence.
1t was n valuable and we'll considered
study of the merits of the proposal
now before us, and In 1t partisan po-
litical matter had no place. 1t was
read yesterday by hundreds OF thou
sands of citizens. 1t will be read
to-day by other hundreds of thou
sands, and in the future 1t will be
remembered and cited as an orntion
of enduring value to the student of
our history.
We shall not attempt to epitomlze
Senator LoDGE's address here, but
one incident of the debate which 1t
brought about has a high instructive
value to the nation at this time.
Senator LODGE complained that the
proposed constitution was vague In
its terms and difficult to understand
In its provisions. AS he read 1t, that
proposed constitution would limit and
impair the sovereign right Of the
United States to self-defence. To this
Senator HITcHcocK of Nebraska took
exception. ia an excited manner I'M
happily at variance with the Massa-
chusetts Senator's demeanor. Sen
ator LODGE replied that the misunder-
standing brought out in this exchange
emphasized the necessity for redraft-
ing the league charter to make dis
pute over its construction impossible.
Said Senator LODGE:
Lets have 1t stated In the con-
tract just what 1t means"
This not unrea sonable suggestion
"a
declaration astonishing from a sup
porter of the President and amazing
from an advocate of a project advcr-
tised to prevent war:
when war starts the right of
self-defence supersedes everything
else, and the Senator knows It."
Then, despite the League Of Ma
lions, war Is not to be abolished. II
the President were able to force his
British League Of Nations on the
country the solemn covenants we had
entered into would be superseded by
the right of self-defcnCe.
If this he the conception OF the
League of Nations held by those who
urge us TO adopt it, what becomes OF
their whole programme of idealism ?
II it will not prevent war, 1t will not
accomplish its primary object; and II
the treaties we are urged to sign are
to be superseded by war, are we not
asked 10 engage deliberately in con-
tracts with the full knowledge that
in the emergency they Ostensibly are
10 control they are to be treated as
mere scraps of paper7

Republican Obligations in the SIXTY.
sixth Congress.

The organization OF the House OF
tho Sixty-sxth Congress has been
achieved by the Republican members
elect with expedition and good tenn
per. The struggle over the Speaker
ship ended with Representative
MArN's motion to choose Representa-
tive GILLErr as the candidate of the
majority for this ONCE by acclama-
ton The scheme Of selecting Com
mittee on Committees by State delega-
tons was proposed, adopted, and with
two exceptions the appointments were
made before the caucus adjourned. In
all their acts the men on whom re-
sponsibility viii rest in the House be-
haved In a manner highly encourag-
Ing to those who recognize how grave
the duties are they must perform.
No Congress has ever faced harder
tasks than those the Sixty-sixth must
dispose Of. For six years Congress
has not performed Its functions in
the Federal Government rs 1t should.
The fact of the dereliction is notori-
Gus. 1t cannot be charged to the
war. Before Germany and Austria
Hungary began the struggle that has
been transferred from the battlefield
to the council chamber, the Demo-
cratic legislators of the United States
had revealed their Incompetence, their
lack Of initiative, their abject depend
ence on the will and purpose of one
man. Such an attitude Is as unhealth-
full for the country rs 1t should be hu-
initiating to those who through weak
ness or ineptitude adopt It.
II the Republicans do their duty
as 1t should be done, they will restore
the legislative department of the Gov
eminent to the credit and respect In
dependence and patriotism can win
for 1t. They will make 1t truly CO.
ordinate. not subordinate, as 1t has
been. They will insist on full recog-
milton of their rights and exercise
those rights without fear or favor, for
the benefit of the whole American
people, and not for the advantage Of
any section Of the country.
To do this they need not, they should
not, adopt a policy Of truculency to-
ward the Chief Magistrate. Pinprick-
ing the President, besides its inherent
lack Of dignity, Is not only bad poll
tics, but Is bad Amerlanism. Hold
Ing sternly to their constitutional
functions, assuming the responsible
ties their oaths of office put on them,
defending themselves and their pre-
negatives consistently and firmly
against assaults, no matter where
they may originate. the Republicans in
the House and the Republicans in the
Senate will not find 1t necessary to
resort to low cunning to establish
themselves securely in the confidence
Of the country.
The duty of the Republicans will
not be to put the President in hole.
1t will be to pull the country out of
the hole in which the President and
his party have deposited 1t. This is
big sob; It will tax their skill and
strength: and when they have done It
they will find the electors ready to
do to the Democratic party exactly
what 1t deserves.

The Metric system.

Trade Club of San Francisco in
their campaign for adoption of the
units of the metric system of
weights and measures.
They slow striking anomaly:
That the metric system was in
vented by a Briton, James Watt, in
1888, and yet all civilized nations
have adopted it exclusively, except
ing the United States and Great
Britain.
That the so-called. British sys-

The METRIC system is no untried
theory.
It's principle-thc principle OF
decimal computation-has been used
