THREE MISCONCEPTIONS

A recent issue of the Minneapolis Journal contains
he following letter from W. j. c. Lopez:
II the executive council Of the proposed
league can commit the United States to war,
without the authority or the judgment OF con-
sress, it is surely unconstitutional for the sentas
to ratify the treaty. If the senate il forced by
the popular clamor to ratify the treaty which
; conflicts with the constitution. its violation
should be stopped by the supreme court. There
can be no law in this world higher than the con-
stttudon until it is amended and ratified by a
majority OF the states. To give the decision for
making war over to an. international body. is
getting a very serious question too far away from
the people.
The senate should remind President Wilson
that he is paid for looking out for Americas
interests primarily. Also that he has been sworn
to support and protect the constitution and it is
no mere scrap of paper.
This letter, presents three not unusual, but quite i'm
portant misconceptions. y
The first of those relates to the scope of a treaty
to which the United States becomes a party. If Mr..
Lopez will read carefully his copy of the constitution o.
the United States he will find that the constitution alone
is not the supreme law Of the land. That honorable po-
sition is shared by all treaties made or to be made in ac-
cordance with the rules laid down, It NAV he that the
supreme court would accept jurisdiction over a treaty
in order to determine whether or not the prescribed
forms had been followed in framing and, ratifying. it.
But as to its subject matter, it is of equal authority with
the constitution, and therefore could not very well be de-.
clared unconstitutional -,% ~ -.
The second misconception to be noted is that it is
proposed in the constitution of the league of nations that
the power to declare war, and to compel the partjcipa-
ton Of member states, shall be vested in the league. No
such proposal has been made. The league men advise,
and recommend, but it remains with each separate ma.
t'on 70 declare war or not, as 1t may deem proper.
In the third place, although it may Be a matter of
minor importance. We believe it to be a mistake to say
that the president is paid" for looking after the interests
of the country. The president of the Omitted states-any
presidents somewhat above the status of a hired man,
He is the head OF a great nation. chosen to his position
by the people. He receives certain sums of money. IT /.
true, but It, is belittlins to the nation itself to place the
services OF its chief magistrate on the basis of bargain
and sale Is 'ua@ ~ %

are. merely. that the American people were certain to sub
scribe the necessary sums as soon as they had been grip
ped by a proper realisation of the need and the duty. In
order to bring about this condition a vast amount OF work
was necessary. But just as It was certain that the people
would respond to an effective demand, so it was certain
that able, patriotic-and public spirited men and women
would be found in sufficient numbers to make the effec-
tive presentation. That.wil be true in this case, and the
facts are now being presented to the people. ably and
effectively. 4nM

HAS BRIGHT FUTURE

Auckland, ew Zealand, Feb. 49,
Colonel Robert Logan, the New Zea-
land administrator of former German
Samoa. says the future Of the colony
IS very bright. Cattle-raising1 and
cocoanut-growing are two important
industries.
Colonel Logan said that former
German Samoa had been self-sup-
porting since New Zealand military
occupation. In 1917 trade increased
over hat OF 1916 by over s ,O0O. 900:
and the figures for 1918 would have
been a record but for the epidemic Of
influenza. The increase in trade is
new nearly all with the United States.
Apia, said Colonel Logan, needs a
basin and wharf where vessels NAV
discharge cargo in any weather in
stead of having to discharge in the
open roadstead.

the Reds, now in the contender's posi-

yard, failed to check the New Yorkers
in the opening game of their series
here to-day. The heavy artillery of
the McGraw tribe quickly got the

league leaders back East IN recent

to-day. All went we'll with the Yer

Jeff Pfefer Fails
To Last Route and
Dodgers Lose, 100

PITTSB URGH, June 1o.-The
Dodgers are continuing to slip, and
Wilbert Robinson continues to trundle
along hub to hub with disaster on his
Western journey. The Pirates beat the
Flatbush Fusileers, 10 to 6, in slug
ging bee at Forbes Field to-day, and
the nutterng Robins dropped another
notch.
Big Jeff Pfeffer started to get bad
right off the reel and was yanked in
the middle of the fifth inning, after
he had been pasted for nine safe hits.
Larry Cheney went in and lasted three
innings, and the Dodgers finally went
to their doom with Al Mamaux in the
box.
1t was one of those games with
plenty of hitting, which the multitude
is supposed to like but really does not
care for. Earl Hamilton, who opened
up in the box for the Pirates, started to
go bad almost simultaneously with Big
jeff and was yanked in favor Of Frs
kline Mayer, the former Phille.
Kruger hit the ball over the left
field fence for a home run, the first
time in two years that this has been
done.
This is the fifth straight the Dodgers
nave lost since they left the Flatbush
h 1mestead.
