CARELESS of his views. which is a fea-

of the presidents possible drift.
While now peevish and irritable aft

dent is not crazy, and he is capable of
the most surprising transformation in

The Senate cannot possibly act as the
agent of the government in the con-
duct of our foreign relations, and, if
there are any foreign ambassadors who
think they can do diplomatic business
with the United States through the
Senate, which cannot make 98 minds
work like one, those ambassadors and
their superiors at home are much to
error.
A complete reversal of the presi-
dents policy regarding the treaty is
now possible; and any day we may see
him recalling the treaty, on the ground
that the Senate has proved its inability
to function as the constitution re-
quires it to, and demanding from Eu
rope the treaty's revision as the price
of preventing the return of the United
States government TO its former diplo-
matte isolation. The Senate may have

Constantinople for the Sultan.

Official circles in London are said to
be much exercised over the leakage of
the news1n regard to the doings of the
allied supreme council, which had de-
cided upon secrecy Among the mat
ters which have thus leaked out are
the news that President Wilson had
interviewed in the Adriatic question,
some hints in regard to the decision
about the extradition of Germans ac-
cused of offenses during the war, and
the report that the allies are to allow
the sultan and the Turkish government
to remain at Constantinople.
As the London Times reminds its
readers. this solution is contrary to
the declared policy of the British gov
eminent and to the views held until
recently by the British premier. In
some quarters the reported resort to
it is taken as a victory for Premier
Millerand, offsetting the concessions
made TO Lloyd George in the matter of
extradition of German generals. This,
however, may be a superficial view of

New Hampshire School Matters.

These are the days when the schoo
officials in the towns of New Hamp'
shire are receiving the palpable evil
dence that the new educational law
does in fact represent statewide
movement looking to the equalizing OF
educational opportunity. Officials in l6s
school districts are in receipt of com
munications which herald the sending
of checks for state aid before March |,
which tell their own story of state
wide distribution of the cost of educa-
ton. The thinly populated town which
cannot possibly maintain schools of the
required standard for the required pc
Rod feels the strong hand of the state
clasping its own in fellowship, and
leaving in it the evidence of fine, big
purpose to aid that town in giving its
boys and girls cha ice in life.
Moreover, and this is much to the
point, the school officials in these towns
are receiving with the announcement
that their checks will be sent soon, a
comprehensive statement through which
this phase of the developing education
al plan is, like all its predecessors, laid
open for inspection. This is one of the
noteworthy things about our education
al endeavor. All the cards have been
above the table all the time. In this
instance the state board of education
reiterates it's purpose TO provide full
information regarding its policies and
methods and the reasons therefore. The
law relating to state aid is set forth
in the circular which accompanies the
payments. Then it is explained that
owing to prior claim upon some S56,-
900. the full amount required now,
$3.50, 505.36, could not be paid unless
special provision were made for it. 1t
was found, however, that the governor
and council had at their disposal an
amount sufficient to meet this def
cheney, and, thanks to their hearty CO.
operation, il was met, so that the full
amount actually required by the state
aided districts could be paid. All this

The Treaty and the President.

The Senate should quickly reach a
vote decisive in its results on the peace
treaty. Either pass ratifying resolu-
tion in some form, or reject the treaty
outright and have done with it, Unless
the Senate can do one of these things,
its claim to being the balance wheel in
the governments management of our
foreign relations must sound hollow,
and its sufiiciency must become
the sign of a progressive legislative
garrulousness and senility. At least,
the senatorial machine should function,
The president functioned in negotiat-
ing the treaty and in placing it be-
fore the Senate. Further debate is SUI
perhuous. Let the Senate act
The crux of the situation is the reser.
walton on article 10. Ii this can be
the treaty, the struggle viii end. 1t is
to be hoped, therefore, that the Senate
will begin with this reservation and let
other points rest until a decision is
reached on article TO- Probably this is
too much to hope for.
A flood of talk will now mean that
the irreeoncilables, who seek to defeat
any ratification whatever, have brighter
of success. Passing from the
league covenant. the Borahs. kuoxes,
.Iohnsons and Reeds will attack other
parts Of the treaty where it is especial
ly vulnerable. They did not have the
to do this six, five or even
three months ago for fear of being
called pro-German. They think that
the attack may now be safely launched.
But if the whole treaty is thus to be
shelled, the debate viii be endless and
win probably result in no action.
There are signs that the president |
himself may not wait much longer be !
fore ending the controversy over the I
treaty, if the Senate doesn't. He can !
-ecall it at any time and take a new |
course. II is well known that in many |
aspects the treaty, aside from the GOV
,nant, did not satisfy Mr.. Wilson. He /
vas opposed to many of its extreme
lauses, but accepted them on the basis
# compromise, his end of which was
he league of nations.
Suppose now that he recalls the pres
mt treaty and demands its revision

ems. He might rally TO his support
