Those Senators

The United States Senate has always been what we
call conservative body. II is the arstocrac thing
in the American government II is.aknd saietybrake
to keep the government from moving too fast in any d
rection Long after the President is in favor of pro-
gressve thing and the House OF Representatives and the
sentiment OF the people, have to wait for the Senate
to give its consent
Sometimes this is great benefit On sober second
thought we have decided to modify action which we
would have taken suddenly and ofhand il the Senate
had not acted brake. But just the Senate seems
likely to prevent America and the world from getting the
great prize which the world put within reach
The nations OF the world have been like savage men,
recognizing no government each independent lawless
armed to the teeth and liable fight at any time
Within each nation there has been law which has curtal-
ed the freedom of each individual but which has made
each individual somewhat safe and from violence
The only thing which has limited the savage indie
pendence OF each nation has been occasional treaty
treaty is promise and when a nation makes treaty
il restricts its own freedom OF action.
Now it is proposed to have a treaty among
her OF nations by which they will agree of
arbitration and reasoning which shall take the place of
war, and bring nearer the fulhmen OF what have
prayed for long-a reign OF righteousness and Justice
and peace.
But the United States Senate is unwilling to enter
into this treaty. Certainly they taking great
sponsbility II the world rolls along into another it
will not be the crime OF the Emperor William but the
crime OF Henry Cabot Lodge.

his Impressions as follows:
'The German people are hungry.

TO satisfy their hunger. The Berliners

Ratification of Peace
Treaty Voted Down

The defeat OF the ratification OF
the Peace Treaty with the Foreign
Relations committees reservations
was urged yesterday by President
Wilson in a letter TO Administra-
tion leader Hitchcock. He held that
these reservations would make the
Treaty void. This letter immediate
ly became public. Senator Lodge
said that he did not believe that the
Senate would "obey the President,
who undertakes TO command the
Senate 10 ratify the Treaty without
reservations which Americanize IL
and make il safe for the United
States"
Senator Sherman, Republican, OF
Illinois, said that he would have to
part company with his associates
and vote against the resolution
which he called a charter for an
international homicide club"
The lines were sharply drawn.
After discussions and conferences
the vote was taken. The admins
tration senators stood solid against
it and il was voted down. The rat
ification resolution, which should
have two-thirds majority for its
adoption, received only 80 votes
while there were IS against IL. II
was supported by 35 Republicans
and four Democrats, and opposed by
i3 Republicans and l2 Democrats.
The parliamentary status OF the
resolution its enemies declared TO
amount to at least temporary re-
lection, but its friends hope to re-
vive it at another session OF Con-
gress.
Senator Hitchcock made an ef-
fort TO secure consideration OF some
substitute reservation by moving
that the matter be committed TO the
Senate as committee Of the whole.
His motion was voted down by the
usual lineup of Senators.
Each side contin' ID TO bring for
ward new resolutions and reserva-
tions thruout the afternoon, but
neither side showed any sign OF
yielding. The hour for adjourn
ment came without any indication
as to the final outcome OF the Peace
Treaty.

The elections in France have
shown some interesting things. In
the first place, there is no party in
the Chamber Of Deputies, which has
a majority. There are about seven
or eight different groups represent
ed, and it is not possible TO tell
what combination may be made. In
the second place, the radical rep
resentation is reduced as well as the
Socialist influence. The result is
