A Forgotten Precedent.

In his address at the banquet given by
a committee of New York business men
Sin honor of the United States Senators
who voted for an American treaty and
reservations to the League of Nations,
Senator Johnson contributed a chapter
of international history revealing a for
gotten precedent bearing on the reserva-
ton to the treaty giving to the United
States as many votes In the League As
senrhly as Great Britain will have-if the
United States enters the league.
One of the objections to the covenant
is that not only Great Britain but her
'self-governing' colonies will have vote
each in the Assembly. The United States
Senators who insisted upon Americana
ing the covenant have adopted a reserva-
ton giving the United States the same
rrmber of votes as Great Britain will
lave It has never yet been satisfactorily
explained why Great Britain should be
should have only one.
Hitherto Senator's protecting America S
interests in this regard have argued from
broad justice, fairness, common sense and
International equity. Senator Johnson's
attention has been called to forgotten
precedent-a link in the chain which the
majority Senator'S have been patriotically
forging around the league.
June "a, 1912, the International Radio
Telegraph Conference met in London.
Tv tnty-five nations were represented.
The principal topic of discussion was the
proposition Of Willis l.. Morris. chief of
the United States Weather Bureau, "for
the transmission of simultaneous wireless
weather observations" The conference
adopted Mr.. Moore's proposition, yet not
without dispute over the relative voting
power Of the respective nations. Great
Britain insisted upon six votes, counting
her several dominions or clf-governing
colonies as five votes. To this Russia and
the United States objected. After long
discussion on the last day of the confer
ence-July 4-Grcat Britain yielded. In
tic words of the official report THE
Russo American combination against
Great Britain's claim to six votes in the
conference on account Of her colonies has
resulted in the more important Powers
being given equality of votes. Thus at
future congresses the United States.
Great Britain, Russia, Germany aud
France are each to have six votes. Italy
is to have three votes, Spain and Portugal
to have two votes and the other nations
one vote each"
In view of this forgotten precedent why
should Great Britain, President Wilson
or any United States Senator object TO n
reservation in the treaty giving TO the
United States the same number Of votes
that Great Britain will have?

why Captain Tardieu Stayed Out.

One of the three members Of the Cab
Mr.. Millerand to retain office in the new
administration was Captain Andre Tar
dieu, who was we'll known to New York
and the country at large when he be
longed to the special French mission tc
Washington, in which he served as Secre
tary of Franco-American War Co-opera
ton and High Commissioner to the United
States. Lately he was Minister Of Lib
Grated Regions. He is of course a mem
ber of the Chamber of Deputies.
In refusing to continue to hold his port
folio Captain Tardieu remarked that re
cent events had shown that both cham
bcrs of Parliament had indicated tha
they wished to appeal to new men. Here
there was plainly reference to the de
feat of DR.. Clemenceau by his old rival
Paul Deschanel, in the contest for th'
Presidency which was settled the othel
day.
In Great Britain, France and Italy
where the head of the nation is diff
fcrent person from the head Of the gov
crnment, the powers of the Prime Minis
tcrs grew steadily throughout the war
while the "chiefs of state tended to be
come figureheads to a much greater
extent than before.
On the other hand, Mr.. Lloyd George
and DR.. Clemenceau, while practical die
tators for the purpose of defeating the
enemy, always depended for their con
tinuance in power on votes in Parliament
while Premier Orlando was actually driver
from office after the armistice came into
force.
1t is easy to see why the supreme author
ity, in Parliament and out of it, exercised
by each Of these Prime Ministers, while
recognized as desirable and necessary in
n great national emergency, should not
seem so after the peril had been removed
Individual members of the three Parlia
ments, who had been submerged for sc
long, began to assert themselves and
healthy partisanship began to assert its
old influence.
Hence a certain restiveness under ths
leadership of Mr.. Lloyd George which is
believed TO indicate that the British coali
tion government will not last much longer
On the other hand Frenchmen who re-
garded DR.. Clemcnceau as the savior Of
France did not desire to see him in the
Elysee Palace, as being likely to increase
the constitutional powers Of the Prcsi.
dent-an officer elected for term ol
years-which could be done only at the
expense of the powers of the Prime
Minister.
Captain Tardieu. with his very wide
diplomatic experience in Europe and
America and his deep knowledge Of world
politics, by very simple remark has
thrown ray of light on the situation.

COASTING.
nv HELEN CoMBEs.

Bring out the old bobsled; there's sport
for the taking.
The hill is packed tight and the coast
ing's begun.
The shouts OF the youngsters the
echoes are waking.
The girls are all ready to join in the
fun.
The steel on the ice whines like bow
on the fiddle:
With patches of color the hillside is
gay:
Their speed is like lightning-both
sides and the middle
Bring out the old bobsled and let US
away.
Bring out the old bobsled; the moon
will be lighting
The smooth shining road, and girl
that you know
Will snuggle up close when the wind,
keen and biting,
Lights a spark in her eyes, sets her
cheeks all aglow.
With your blood all atingle, should
love so inflame you
To the point where you venture to steal
swift kiss,
Do you think for A moment that harsh
ly she'd blame you;
Bring out the old bobsled, for coasting
is bliss.
Bring out the old bobsled; an insolent
fellow
Has vowed he can beat you; let's prove
who is best
There's lots or his ilk, they are boast
ful-but yellow
And burst like a bubble when put to
the test.
With crew of picked men who are
game to the marrow,
Who will stick to their captain through
thick and through thin;
Their money we'll take and their feel
ings We'll harrow
Bring out the old bobsled; We'll back
her to win.
Bring out the old bobsled; the swift
years are flying
And soon-all too soon-they will bring
in their train.
The pangs Of old age; and in vain We'll
be trying
To snatch at the pleasures Of childhood
again.
So let us drink deep while the cups
brimming over.
And when we are old we can boast,
and with truth.
That she never was vanquished, that
sturdy old rover.
That unbeaten bobsled we owned in
our youth.

That Solemn Referendum.

Mr.. Bryan was in true form when he
addressed the New York Society OF ARTS
and Letters. Again lie demanded that
the Democratic party abandon the pro
rramme suggested by President Wilson
to submit the peace treaty "for deter
mination at the next election and to give
that election "the form Of great and
solemn referendum" While disavowing
any suggestion that the Democratic party
is split on the treaty of peace, Mr.. Bryan
proceeded to say that he loved his party
too we'll to permit it to run into the dan
cor of .that crime the Wilson
plan of making the Treaty of Peace
party issue in the next Presidential cam

and the power of epigra mmatic phrase

however much concealed by the artist.
When he said that his party could not
afford to 20 before the country with the
responsibility for this long dclay--a ie-
lay of fourteen months--hc meant to say
that President Wilson's solemn refcrcn-
dunn would mean party defeat. When lie
said "this is government by majority
and that defiance Of that majority in
tho Senate is contrary to the democratic
idea of government" he meant that Prcsi-
dent Wilson's opposition TO the Senate
majority could not be defended IL popu-
lar election. When Mr.. Bryan declared
that he would not know how to make n
ca mpagn speech with delay of fourteen
months charged up against him. he meant
that President Wilson's programme would
seal the fate Of his party in advance.
From the tone Of confidence manifested
in his address Mr.. Bryan evidently feels
that he has a majority of his party and
majority Of the people with him. While
comparatively few persons are interested
in the party feature of this difference of
opinion. large number of Americans arc

The Trial of the Socialists.

When law, order and loyalty to Ameri
can institutions arc the issues the rural
communities in this country generally
stand as one man, however divided politi
cally or sentimentally the cities may be
with their more congested populations
To be even suspected of seditious thoughts
or acts is sufficient to damn a man with
the American farmer, with whom Amer.
icanism is a simple creed admitting of nc
amendment or compromise.
This was strikingly illustrated in the
Massachusetts election last November
when Governor Coolidge, on an issue OF
law and order, swept the rural districts
of his State. Again it is emphasized in
this State in the cases of the five Social
lists from New York city now on trial tc

line of testimony for or against them had

this attitude may be.
Unquestionably it is the knowledge o1
this support that has led Assemblyman
Martin to conduct the hearing now il

drastic methods cannot be expected SC
long as the Speaker and Mr.. Martin fine

When the accused men announce thai
