1873, Residence 236 Olivier st.
Last Sunday was a Sunday mark
ed by good attendance at both SER
vices; both choirs had splendid
music.
At the morning hour, the pastor
discussed the Crucifixion, with refer
ence especially made to the fact that
the manner Of death, or the amount
of physical suffering, was no indi-
cation of the moral character of the
sufferer. Jesus was crucified be-
!. tween two thieves, one of them was
p penitent, and had the promise of
the Kingdom, the other reviled him
in the hour and article of death. and,
yet, the three died on the cross by
crucifixion. st. Stephen, the first
Christian martyr. died q death of tor
ture, and yet, the heavens were open
ed and he beheld the Son of God
on the right hand of the Father.
The amount Of physical suffering is
determined by the disease and man
ner OF death. The promise of eter-
nal life is to the believer.

prescribed in the case Of = bill"
From these constitutional provi-
sions 1t is evident that two-thirds Of
Congress may declare war II neces-
sary, even though the President does
not approve; but that it cannot make
peace without his consent and, from
recent indications, In any other way
than his personal inclinations die
tate. If present political prophecies
arc correct, that the treaty will be
carried as an Issue into the Presi-
Dental campaign, it is thus evident
that one man may oppose the will Of
a nation for eighteen months at least
in this case, with possibilities Of
longer delay in other cases. No mat
ter what percentage Of the Senators
favor reservations, they cannot pass
because Of this deadlock.
Such situation in an enlightened
republic is an anachronism in this
new age. England and France, our
strongest allies or associates, have
long since abandoned such an auto
cratic system, by which the Executive
had complete control Of concluding

pcan democracies for the conduct Of
foreign affairs rests with a Cabinet
minister under parliamentary con-
troll. The makers Of our Constitution
were wise enough to make necessary
declaration Of war by Congress be-
fore our nation could engage in
actual warfare. However, they placed
the responsibility for tho ratification
Of treaties Jointly upon the President
and the Senate. In this present case
neither seems willing to give way to
the other.
What is the remedy7 In the first
place we believe it consists in
closer bond of consultation and "ad-
vice" between the Congressional rati-
flying body and the treaty negotiat-
ing Executive. In the second place, we
consider some change in the method
OF ratification necessary. 1t was be-
yond the purpose Of even the grand
old aristocrats Of 1877 to give the
sole power of treaty making to the
President, and such policy is unde-
sirable. Likewise, we believe that it
would be unwise and impracticable to
confer such sovereign power on the
Senate alone. We propose an amend

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: From the memorable wear Of
1920 to the present America has been
known for its thrift and industry in de-
veloping the natural resources of our
land. During this time we have pro-
noted domestic enterprise and en-
couraged foreign trade. The products
of our labor have not stopped at bound
aries, but have crossed all frontiers.
And to-day, while this national pros
perity has increased our wealth per
capita. and the fat years Of business
have added greatly to our. country's
credit, valuations still mount higher
and little heed is paid to our losses
through lean years of growth and trade
or the lack of balance between our in
creasing numbers and our decreasing
agricultural worth.
We have learned that capital and
labor are actuated by one supreme de-
sire, one pure and lofty purpose, one
common motive; that in peace, as in
war, both can work together, speeding
output and increasing production. We
see that when the public good is fore
most in our mind, and we work together
we do all things essential to the hour.
Shall we not now make the readjust-
ments necessary through the lessons
which these most perilous times have
presented?
AS creditor nation, with foreign
loans running high into the billions,
we command wealth which can be re-
turned in benefits commensurate with
our greatness. The solvency Of we'll paid
and contented labor depends not on
secret pacts, nor in unusual demands
at inopportune times, but upon the
law of control, which appreciates and
harmonizes with all such business. And
whether we take gold CT the products
of foreign labor for our payment of
any of these friendly loans, our nation
must realize deserved benefits therefor.
We seek more liberty and more pub
licity.
We seek equality Of opportunity and
just Interpretation Of the law which
opens the door Of that opportunity.
We believe in graduated remunera-
ton, and to each according to his
needs; and, in our government by the
people all who represent us must real
lze and ever remember that they are of
us, and that they should favor only
such laws as are best for US.
And if honor and greatness be sought
and greater name for America be
aimed at, let US hold to that which
Washington created, which Lincoln
preserved, which Roosevelt defended.
We can take our place in the affairs
of the world only as we perfect our
own, replacing expediencies by law
and preventing chaos by order.

in the security of world peace as it
was dependent upon the suppression
