TIE SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.

WASHINGTON dispatch 10 the New York Times
a quotes a member Of the Republican National Com
mtee as saying that former Postmaster General Frank
H. Hitchcock "is commonly credited with having the
votes OF Southern Republicans sewed In his pocket
Find out whom Frank Hitchcock is for and you Will know
the Republican nominee"
This is the sort OF propaganda that might be expected
in the columns of a Democratic newspaper. but not In
paper OF as high standing the New York Times. And
yet must be confessed there has sometimes been eV
dence that the votes OF Southern Republicans can be
seed up in the vest pocket inan digent enough to

For Verses Written Specially for
The Evening Journal.
The Convent
VI. G. ROBBINS.

There Is n place on earth so sweet
A place where rest Is veni
'Tis the blessed holy convent
And its typical Of Heaven.
The atmosphere is one OF peaoe,
And all around Is calm
To weary ones and aching hearts,
'Tls a most blessed balm.
There the Sisters OF st. Francis dwell.
And every day and hour,
They're asking God to give them
strength,
To break the tempter's power.
Their mission is to heal the sick,
And bind the broken heart.
And 10 the weary ones Of earth,
They peace and strength impart.
In homes ofspoverty and sin,
You'll find them every day,
They'll never leave a helpless one,
But with them gladly stay
Until they heal the sin-slck soul.
And speak the gentle word,
That makes the wounded spirit whole,
And leads their thoughts to God.
Youn nnd them kneeling IN the morn,
Before the great white throne,
Pleading In penance and in prayer,
For sins that's not their own.
They never leave a sinner,
Until a Christ Is found,
And rest comes to the weary one,
And light Is shed around.
Their faces bear the seal Of Heaven,
A peace is on their brow,
Their lives are spent in sacrifice,
They're pure as driven snow.
They walk amid earth's noise and din
But In it have no part,
They only I've for God and Heaven,
They are the pure in heart.

II they are, there is basis for hope.
Otherwise, the outlook Is dark, except
for the small group oaptained by Sena-
tor Borrah.
The country wishes the treaty 10 be
ratified and disposed OF. II sees that
eighty Senate have voted for some
fo.m OF ratification and perceNes no
sufficient reason why six-fOur votes
cannot be mustered for a particular
ratification resolution. Once the prin-
oiple OF reservation is conceded, and
Senator Hitchcock personally comedies
10, the differences between the two
groups OF ratificationsts are not great.
II there Is a common will to get to-
gether n union can be achieved.
But union is unlikely unless Senators,
whatever party label they bear, become
free men, take guidance OF their own
cOnsciences and refuse TO surrender
their constitutional duty and prerOga-
tive 90 any outsider. Are the Admin
istration Senators ready TO proclaim
such self-emancipatiOnG
II they are, II they break the bonds
OF dictation and remove the rings In
their noses, public opinion Will bring
into line any on the other side who
would Initiate the unreasonable narrow
ness Of tho p esldent. The Republican
rank and file is not 30 pleased with the
Presidents course that they would
have their representatives take him as
a model.
Il is the business Of the Administra-
ton Senators to say what they Will
vote for. IL is the business OF the Re
nuhljcan ratification Senators TO con-
slider In a generous and catholic spirit
amy offer that is made to them.
When a ratification resolution. back
ed by the votes of a majority of both
ltties in the Senate, reaches the Execu-
i've table II is not likely the President

Editorial Opinion
LET A sLEEPING DOC UP.

From the New York sun.
Without signature or other official
sponsorship but undoubtedly written
by President Wilson. the new decla-
ration from the White House against
any treaty reservations has thrown
the Democratic Senators into a panic.
Senator Hitchcock still insists that 1t
does not prevent a compromise, but his
fellow Democrats dread the position in
which IL places them Of persisting in
continuing technical war although
there has been no lighting for more
than thirteen months. They are alarm
ed over the international trade and ex-
change disturbances which have fol
lowed in the wake OF the Covenant on
IFS fatal course They know the Ameri-
can people will not stand for this much
longer. They fear their own Solid
South will not.
But the Democratic Senators will do
well TO keep calm. The Republicans
never got excited over the rejected
Covenant; there is no needfor the Demo-
Gratis TO get excited over it. There was
never a call by the nation, there Is not
a call now even by Europe. TO drag the
Covenant out of the Foreign Affairs
Committee pigeonhole. That was the
best place for It to go; that is the
best place for IL 10 stay.
II the Democrats want to get rid OF
this Covenant now become their night
mare. they can wisely and safely as
we'll patriotically do so, making no ef-
fort to move it from its last resting
place.
A good way out for the Democratic
senator's, as IL would be tie right way
out for the country, would be for them
TO ioin the Republicans in passing the
Knox resolution providing merely for
such ratification as would re-establlsh
peace or the Lodge resolution declar-
ing the war at an end II the Presi-
dent should veto the Lodge resolution
restoring peace as he vetoed the Vol
stead dry act the Lodge peace resOlu-
tion could be passed over his veto as
the Volstead dry act was passed over
his veto. Next in order would naturally
come the negotiations by the EXecu-
tive of normal l. eaties with the nations
with whom, by the final enactment OF
the resolution, we should at last be at
peace, technical as well as actual.
Anyhow, let a sleeping dog lie.
