THE JOHNSON GALLERY SITE

THE expectation that the court will
eventually approve the plan for OK
hibiting the johnson pictures in an ap-
propriate new structure instead of in the
late collector Broad street home is
hopefully suggested in the virtual selec-
tion of the Parkway site for the gallery.
Mayor Smith has agreed TO urge Councils
to recommend the transfer of $4,000 of
the unused peace jubilee fund to start the
work at Twenty-second street and the
new thoroughfare.
This is an excellent sign of reforma-
tion regarding the projects for beautify-
ing the Parkway. Litigation crippled for
years ali progress on the new public
library. The war interviewed and now.
owing TO the raised cost OF materials
and labor, the whole proposition has to
be reopened and revised.
Mr.. ,Johnson's will has been the Stun
bling block in the Art Gallery affair.
-,The court, however, has not only to con-
sfder literally the text of that instru-
meBt, but also tho overwhelming force
OF public opinion.
The mansion at 5i0 South Broad street
simply will not do as a home for the ex-
traordinary and precious collection of
paintings. The proposal to substitute a
properly equipped modern building based
on the architectural motives of the lovely
Pazzi Chapel of Florence has emphatic
popular support.
1t is a relief that the city contemplates
doing something more than merely mark
ing time while waiting for the law to
perform the expected.

MAYOR-ELECT MoORE'S
LETTER
Walton, Winston, Evans and Shep.
pard, old.Tlme Antagonists, En-
Joyed Working Together for
Entire Republican Ticket

T0HN WALTON, chairman of the com.
mttec of one hundred; John G. Winston,
chairman of the committee Of seventy, who
has been sick recently; Powell Evans and
Howard Il. Sheppard, who has figured for
many years in the reform movements in the
Twentieth ward, have had fine old time
mixing up with regular Republicans on tho
same platform at meetings held to advance
the entire Republican ticket. A feature OF
the campaign was tho appearance of these
old time antagonists working for the com
mon cause.-the election of a ticket pledged
to put into effect the new city charter and
give 1t square deal.

would actually have tied up industry,
stopped railroad trains and ultimately
put the country in a state of siege? It
is idle to believe that the strikers were
not without legitimate grievances and
that there is not fault on the side of en-
ployers in many instances But who in
sisted, against all efforts to bring about
arbitration, upon the plan for stu
pendous demonstration of force?
That such a means was futile, that it
will always be futile because we happen
to have in this country great majority
of intelligent people who can neither be
scared nor stampedcd, is aside. The
signs of systematized propaganda and Of
organized effort to cmbitter great masses
of the forcign-botn against the govern
ment are pretty general and pretty def
mite.
The people ought TO know more about
this peculiar activity. The government
ought to know more about it. IF we are
still technically at war any effort TO
weaken or injure the government may be
punished as it ought TO be punished.
If the time has come for new prison
camps, let US have them. The Bolshetists
and their supporters have become Il COM
mon nuisance. There is a simple cure
for the trouble. 1t is not necessary to be
violent. If the Department Of Justice
will gather in all the really active eX-
tremists really known to it there will be
enough to fill about two ships. When
these ships distribute their passengers
among the European countries from
which they came We can go peacefully
about such social and economic readjust-
ments rs may be needed in the United
States

TT WAS a difficult and almost impossible
l. thing for President Wilson to write into
the treaty as it was negotiated at Paris
..subiect to the consent Of the American
Congress-. The treaty. more particularly
the covenant of the league of nations. had
10 be general. 1t had ~ be adapted to forty
or fifty nations, each with q different form
of government. If the covenant had TO be
made to conform expressly to tho American
constitution. it should, with equal reason,
have recognized the pecuiarties of govern
ment Of Japan, Italy, Paraguay. Rumania
and every other state. 1t would have been
endless and Il mess.
The natural course 10 take was 10 assume
that the covenant of the league did not over
ride the constitution Of any of the powers
in the league. When the league provided
that its members guaranteed each other
territorial integrity against external aggres
sion they did SO, as far as the United States
was concerned, subject to the limitation that
the American armed forces cannot, under
the American constitution. be used in war
without the authority Of Congress.
But Congress was not content that its au
tbority should he taken for granted. Like
all institutions and men little fearful of
its real authority, it had TO declare its au-
thority in the premises. In everything that
IL has done since tnc treaty came DeIOre IL
the Senate has shown that fear which a
weakened and declining institution shows.
II has written, or is probably about to write.
all over the treaty that it must be consulted
and respected at every tyrn. 1t is exceed
ingly anxious about its own prestige. Almost
every reservation that it is about to write
into the treaty declares that the assent Of
Congress must first be obtained, and this
Notwithstanding the fact that the American
constitution in the more important instances
nrovides that Congress must first assent.
TN WORDS Congress has strengthened it's
l. position. 1t has written the word Con
press' everywhere. 1t has pulled itself up
I by its own bootstraps. 1t has legisated
itself back into greatness regardless of the

rise any higher than its own source. And

eress, before the extremely self conscious
legislative branch began to legislate itself
