DIES TRYING TO SAVE WIFE

Refuses to Leave Her.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-The three or
phan children Of William and Mary
Tanner mourned the loss Of a mother
who had faced death without filnching
and father who had made the SUI
preme sacrifice. William Fitch Tan
ner, with 80 seconds in which to choose
life by abandoning his wife in the path
or an oncoming train or death by re-
naming with her, chose death. Clasp
ed In each Others arms, they were
struck by a North Shore electric train
Mt Hubbard Woods and instantly
killed. Their bodies were hurled 80
feet away from the track. John Miller,
a fagman, was severely injured In at
tempting d rescue. The couple had
started for Wilmette to attend a. pic

tracks Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
North Shore railroad at Gage street
when Mrs. Tanners foot slipped be-
tween raib and one of the planks Of
the crossing. my fools caught" she
gasped, as an electric headlight swept
the track.

INJURED. Miller, who until the last at

the side 5of the track with their bodies
when the train struck them. His recov-;

His speaking tour which will extend

three weeks is planned to give the
President an opportunity Of going di-

his critics concerning the Peace
Treaty and the League of Nations. He
will without doubt do more than give
answer to his critics. We may well
expect him to give in clear and con-

the Peace Treaty now before the SEN

THE TABLES ARE TURNED.

While the Democrats were in pow
er, Republicans dinned the country's
ears with criticism and denunciation.
Every act and every omission was
wrong. Nothing was right. The war
was muddled; peace was delayed; re-
construction was impossible The
cure was Republican Congress. with
brilliant statesmen and economists
like Senators Lodge and Penrose and
Representatives Gillett and Mondell
las its leaders.
Three months of Republican re-
sponsibility and control has not con-
WINGED the people that the change was
for the better. Indeed, there is not a
problem which has not become more
acute; not popular demand that has
not remained unfulfilled in this fourth
of year Of Republican accountability
for legislation.
At the worst, the Democratic con-
gress preceding the one now in ses-
sion was charged with doing its work
poorly. But it acted. The present Re-
publican Congress has done next to
nothing-and done it very badly. II
the Democrats made mistakes it was
because they made efforts. Against
the Republicans is fairly chargeable
the greatest and costliest of all mis-
sales.--future to try.

In his statement to members OF the
Foreign Relations Committee at the
White House conference, President
Wilson gave some excellent reasons
for speedy ratification Of the treaty
He pointed out that the copper mines
OF Arizona, Montana and Alaska are
operating at a loss; that the zinc
mines of Missouri, Tennessee and
Wisconsin are producing hut half
their normal output; that the lead OF
Missouri, Idaho and Illinois reaches
only portion Of its former market
that the sale OF cotton In the Cen
trail Empires and other parts of Eu-
rope is impossible and that many 9TH
er commodities cannot be marketed
because the channels Of trade are
barred until the resumption OF COM
mercial relations is made possible by
the ratification OF the treaty. Those
nations which first conclude peace
will also be the first to enjoy pros
perity.

NOW FOR RATIFICATION.

President Wilson met the virtual
challenge Of the Senatorial opponents
Of the peace treaty and the League Of
Nations by the freest and fullest
presentation Of the conditions and
considerations which dictated the en-.
gagements that are now awaiting rat
ification by the Senate. For three and
a half hours the President answered
the questions propounded to him by
members Of the Foreign Relations
Committee. With patience, pains
taking and the utmost frankness he
responded to their request for infor-
nation.
This conference was without pre-
cedent in American history, but it
amply fulfilled the Presidents pro-
mise made months ago--that. he
would take the Senate and the coun-
try into his confidence in respect to
the treaty and the League. 1t was the
fault Of the Senate Committee that
this complete exposition and explain
alton of the treaty and the covenant
was not sooner forthcoming. The
President up0 his return from
France expressed his willingness -
and at the conference showed his
preparednessto clarity and justify
every act Of the Paris peace council.
From the lips Of the man who was
one Of the authors Of the treaty and
Of the League-who knows every
inch OF the ground between their In
sception and their consummation--the
Foreign Relations Committee has
learned that Article x OF the cove
nant is subject to our own Judgment
and to the authority Of Congress; that
the Monroe Doctrine is beyond the
purview of the League; that questions
of purely domestic policy and govern
ment, like immigration and the tar
III, are equally outside its jurisdic-
ton. If the Senator'S who have OPP
posed the treaty and the League con-
tinue their obstruction 1t will not be
for want of understanding and reas-
surances. Their opposition hence
forth will be suspected as Of diff
ferent origin.
The President made it quite plain
to the members Of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee that, II they choose
to regard their country's obligations
lightly, they may adopt interpretations
that do not alter the text or impair
the force OF the treaty. II such "in-
terpretations" in q separate resolution
will salve their pride without at the
same time jeopardizing the advantag-
es which the United States derives
from the treaty and the security which
all the world obtains through the
League, the Senator'S are free, SO far
as the President is concerned, to take
that course.
Whatever the action OF the recalc1t-
rant Senators may be, the peoples
attitude will be unmistakable. They
know the President has had great
er opportunity and better right to
judge Of the need and meaning and
value OF the treaty and OF the League
than the Senatorial critics Of his work
have had. They will not tolerate the
Senate's attempt to give them less be-
cause they have not obtained more.
They want the treaty ratified and the
covenant accepted without further
delay.
