THE RETURN TO NORMAL.

The recommendation made the
other day by Elihu Root in his ad-
dress before the Republican conven-
ton OF New York that the peace
treaty be ratified Immediately with
such reservations as may be neces-
sary, and that steps be taken upon
the entrance Of the United States TO
sthe League of Nations to bring about
such amendments in h constitution
or that body as may be deemed wise
have naturally brought forth unfa-
5yorable comment from opponents OF
the league. These insist hat the
league be made perfect at the out
}5set. If that notion had prevailed in
the American constitutional conven-
ton of 1897, the Observation-Disclosures
of the delegates would lave been de-
batting about it yet, n we should
have had no constitution and no ma
\ ton in the meantime.
The senate is likely. soon to raiify
/ the treaty, or wear it out, and moth
ing that the public may say or do
Sais likely to hasten or influence the
decision. But in his address Mr..
| Root discussed another subject which
/ needs attention from the public, and
1 concerning which only public atten-
I ton can be really effective. Mr..
Root pointed out that during the war,
and because of it, the American peo-
pie had, without protest, assented to
such a Capitalization of power in The

e COURTESY.

Governor Frazier got a singing re-
tjoinder from r. L. Wenzell of Rugby
TO his letter in p%urported explanation
Of the attitude of the board of ad-
ministration in calling for the resig-
nation OF President Kane of the uni
versity. The sentiment expressed by
Mr.. Wenzell is indicative of the SEN
Stiment which is prevalent among for
mer students Of the university
Throughout the state.
In the third paragraph of his let
ter the governor says: After the
recommendation was received from
these men a quiet investigation was
made, n the board in due courtesy
ito DR.. Kane talked ahe matter over
with him, and asked for his resigna-
ton At the end Of the school year"
The recommendation referred to is
that made by certain faculty mem
bers, and which has been the subject
pf a good deal OF discussion since.
But the fact is that the due cour-
+ ties" to DR.. Kane referred to by the
governor consisted in three members
Eof the board, in the absence Of the
other two, deciding on DR.. Kane's re.
stirement without ever having give1
fhim an opportunity to be heard. and
without any special knowledge or
his part that such a step was being
Econtemplated. The matter was
n talked over with DIR. Kane by Mr.
zTotten and Mr.. Muir, who came t.
