Administration Setbacks

According to the statements of
Washington correspondents in touch
with the White House, the Admin
istration has been working to COM
NIT the Democratic National Con-
vention to a demand for the uncon-
ditonal ratification Of the peace
treaty. The results of the Demo-
cratic primaries in Georgia and Ne
braska threaten the success Of this
program.
The Administration had n single
candidate in Gcorgia-Attorney Cen
cral Palmer. He told the voters of
the state that he stood on the Prcsi-
dents record. The opposition vote
was divided between Senator Hoke
Smith and ex-Rcpresentativc Thomas
+. Watson. The former is for rati-
fication with the Senate reservations.
The latter IL against ratification.
Mr.. Palmer carried enough counties
70 give him 14O delegates in tho state

convention. Mr.. Watson got 100
delegates and Mr.. Smith ia. The
Georgia Democrats are, therefore,
against the President in the proper
ton Of twelve to seven. If they
combine, the Smith and Watson
forces can easily control the conven-
ton.
The word went out from Washing
ton some weeks ago that William ].
Bryan must be excluded from the
San Francisco gathering. Senator
Hitchcock declared himself Presi-
Dental candidate in order to help
along the fight against Bryan. The
Nebraska machine, controlled by Mr..
Hitchcock and National Committee
man Mullen, had no difficulty four
years ago in defeating Mr.. Bryan's
ambition to go as a delegate to St.
Louis. Since then Bryan hasn't fig
ured much in Nebraska politics.
This year he has had to fight the
Democratic Federal and state ma
chimes and also the wet element in
Nebraska, Of which Hitchcock and
Mullen are the leaders. In spite of
those handicaps, Mr.. Bryan and one
other anti-Administration delegate
at-large seem to have been elected.
In his Jackson Day speech Bryan
broke with the President on ratihca-
ton. He advised Democratic SEN
ators to accept the majority reserva-
tions, and eventually about half of
them accepted his advice. He is op-
posed to any great and solemn ref
erendum" in which the Democratic
party will have to make an appeal to
the people on behalf of unconditional
approval of the treaty draft brought
home by Mr.. Wilson. His victory in
contest in which the cards were
stacked against him insures lively
protest at San Francisco against
tying the Democratic organization
up to the losing issue of ratification
after the Presidents method. The
rank and file Of the Democratic party
are not much in sympathy with the
referendum idea. They can be COM
mitted to it only by the unrepre-
sentative action of hand-piclzed dele
gates, subject to the will of the Dem
ocratic Federal machine.

for a rise in all the markets. If
credit tightens or the good and bad
securities bought cannot be unloaded
a crash follows.
The industrials are now subject to
special pressure in Wall Street. The
railroads went through their liqui-
dation period last year. They are
relatively stationary, because they
largely represent debated values.
The industrials have been booming
as a result Of the advanced prices
Of commodities and the large profits
Of the war years. But the prudent
of Wall Street are evidently begin
ming to discount a check to indus
trial expansion and fall in prices.
Wall Street cares little for the
presents always keenly concerned
about the future. The history of in
dustry and finance does not support
the theory that imitation and ex-
travagant consumption can continue
indefinitely. There is a point at
which pyramided quotations collapse.
Industrials are not fortified against
the readjusting influences which
operated to reduce the level Of rail-
road values.
The main fact is that the coun-
try is producing less than it ought
to and consuming more than it ought
to. 1t is living on anticipated earn
ings. A return to sounder condi-
tions must begin soon. And Wall
Street has an uncanny way Of sig
mailing turns in the tide before they
have become noticeable to the gen.
eral public.

Rent Wars
. the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In 1839-46 there was an anti
rent war in Albany and Rensselaer,
counties. 1t arose out of the attempt
OF the executors of Stephen Van Rens-
selaer, the deceased PATRON, to collect
arrears of rent due him. There
was no increase Of rental 1t led to the
barn burner constitution Of 1916, which
IS said to have burned down the barn
to get rid Of the rats. 1t changed the
state judiciary from appointive to
elective.
Suppose Van Rensselaer's executors
had not only tried to collect arrears but
had also sought to increase rents from
$50 per cent to 400 per cent. Might
they not have brought about worse
Populsm than that of Kansas, the re-
call of judges and judicial decisions, as
we'll as other forms of violent radi
calism?
In number of Broadway buildings
400 per cent increase is demanded. In
Wall Street, Broad Street and New
Street $50 per cent is the prevailing in
crease asked.
f this keeps on few years the mid
die class here will be fiat on their backs
like turtles in front of an old-fashioncd
fish store waiting to be converted into
turtle soup. The prevailing excuse hear
for it is that we have 5O-cent dollars,
although the gold standard still exists
In short, have the former opponents of
Organism turned Bryanite?

the worst Of the war, are forgetting
Fortunate it is that human nature
can thus forget. But in a larger
sense the whole people must never
forget. They must avoid the shrink
ing cowardice Of the pacifist who
dwells shudderingly upon the terrors
Of war until he is unfit to fight

must equally avoid forgetting the
brutality and waste of war and must
resort to that last weapon only when
not otherwise can the progress of
their race and nation be saved.

The Clothes Clubs
The Overall Idea Expanded. Con-
trdctcd and Debated

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The movement to stop profiteer-
ing and reduce the high cost Of living
now taking definite form in the organi-
cation of overalls, farmer hats and
lunch box clubs is we'll intended, but
is it we'll directed? Can we accomplish
in a practical way the end sought?
What we need is concerted action by
everybody everywhere-rich and poor
placing tho stamp of approval on the
practice Of true economy. "Buy only
what you actually need" is a good
slogan, and this should be applied to
all lines. .
Wearing overalls and coarse straw
hats may prove helpful, but in all
likelihood it will transfer from one
branch of industry to another the
opportunity to profiteer.
For year or more I have refused,
almost at the risk Of divorce proceed
ings, to submit to the proRteer in
clothes and other articles OF wearing
apparel, including hats, shoes and
undergarments. Like thousands Of
others, had plenty of old clothes
perfectly respectable and certainly
honorable-which l have not been
ashamed to wear and have persisted
in wearing, in spite of protests from
wife and daughters, although my wife
has Joined me in a patriotic effort to
stop profiteering by wearing her old
clothes, while our children have worn
"made over" dresses.
The movement of "buy only what you
actually need" will rapidly gain mo-
mentum and sweep the country when
started, for the citizens of America are
sorely tired of being gouged at every
turn. A few interested men, prominent
in business and public life, will give
great impetus to the movement
l suggest that a membership badge
or insignia be designed with appropri-
ate motto, as notice to all classes that
we are facing calamity of waste and
have set ourselves against it.

The Constitution Not Repealed


view that among the gravest public
issues of the hour something deserv-
ing every ones soberest thought is
the Albany attack upon American
ism, our Constitution and our lib
critics.
Let us not misconceive where the
chief danger lies. 1t is not in the
Legislature at Albany or in the
faulty intellectuals of Thaddeus
Sweet. The Legislature can do much
harm by passing the oppressive and
un-American laws which it has con-
sidered in spirit of rancor and per-
sonal bitterness. No legislature,
however, can destroy the fundamen-
tai rights guaranteed by the state
constitution.
The reason we have a constitution
is to protect US from just such pass
ing frenzies and blunders. The right
of free speech and all the other pre-
cious liberties safeguarded by our
Bill Of Rights stand beyond the reach
Of any legislature. When Mr.. Sweet
has done his worst the courts will
step in, and, applying the constitu
tional limitations upon legislative
power, will white down his great
labor to conform with our funda-
mental law The bills, if passed, will
obstruct and confuse and irritate;
they will set in motion a wide vari-
ETY. Of un-American regulations and
annoyances; they cannot, when once
the courts have spoken, abolish free
speech or free anything.
That much it is cheering to recall.
But there is a grave danger in the
wake Of this legislation none the
less. 1t is that the people Of New
York may be confused by the uproar
and fail to halt this menacing threat
| to Americanism in the short and
sharp fashion it deserves No legis-
lature can destroy the liberties Of
New Workers, but the people of New
York can destroy those liberties.
They can amend the constitution.
They can fail to give it that support
and fealty without which no laws
can prevail. Ours is truly a govern
ment Of laws, not men--as Mr.
Sweet will presently be told by the
courts. But laws commonly have
force and effect only as they express
the contemporary will Of the people.
No Bill Of Rights, however nobly
worded, can long protect the liberties
of people resolved upon restraint
and oppression.
Therefore we plead for calm and
thorough consideration Of these is
sues by every citizen Of the state.
They go to the very heart of Ameri-
can life and tradition. We do not
believe that the voters of the state
have been widely deceived. But the
occasion is one which demands a
popular uprising Of ancient Ameri-
canism, rebirth of the spirit of
1776 that will sweep the Sweets
from power and leave no question
in the next Legislatures mind WI ere
the voters stand. Neutrality and
lip-service to liberty are not enough.
We ask every Tribune reader to take
his stand and make that stand clear
to every one. We are asking for
volunteers in behalf of rights as old
as America and as precious as the
most sacred memories Of the great
past. Will any one hold back?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems to- me that if the peo-
pie who are conducting the present
overall crusade against the high price
of clothing were sincere they would
purchase cheaper grades Of suits, with
which the market is overstocked, in
stead of a high grade of overalls, of
which the market is short. l have
found, during the last two or three
days, in walking about various neigh
borhoods in this city, that it is possible
to buy new three-piece mems suits for
SO, $3.50 and even $3.50.
These low priced suits are thoroughly
serviceable, much more so than over
alls, for man wearing them presents
a respectable and neat appearance i'm
possible to the wearer of overalls.
The facts are, as any manufacturer
will tell you, that it is practically i'm
possible to sell low priced suits at the
present time. The public does not want
them. Manufacturers are stocked up
