Moving Government Depart

BY BILL PRICE.

Periodically somebody brings up the subject of moving
some all Government departments and independent
Establishments from Washington, either punishment
to Washington business others for something they
supposed to be doing that political school Of
thought doesn't like the policies and methods of the party
lin power.
Senator KENYON made ''crack" of that sort in
interview in which he lambasted rent profteers in Wash
ngton In other words he spoiled perfectly natural out
burst against methods of certain landlords here by making
threat impossible of reality. It's about par with that
of the fond mother who threatens her bad with tell

W. d. PAYNE writes briefly of the Senator's threat;

Estates of the country would accept lOwa plans to have

This talk about moving the Capital was somewhat

An "Impudent" Constitution
and Ignorant" Senate
Possibly But This Country's :" Honor" Is All Right

President Wilson applies adjectives to the Senate
and Constitution Of the United States.
He says those that oppose the War League of NatoaS
ignorant and impudent"
The Constitution says that the President must make
treaties with foreign nations by and with the advice and
consent Of the Senate II it necessary wise to
have the President consult the Senate then the Consu
ton "impudent and ignorant when it made that
regulation
majority of the Senators say that the War League
of Nations WOULD drag this country into They sayI
that the United States shall not be dragged into it. with
their advice consent Therefore they also gno
rant and impudent"
However, the United States is not going to join the
War League Of Nations. Article x, which undoubtedly
WOULD drag this country into war; not to be part Of
any law governing the United States.
That smplAes the situation, fortunately
The President knows and his letter to the public on
the War League SHOWS he knows that this coming cleo
ton Is to be referendum leaving to the people to decide
about the War League The number of votes for Cox will
tell how many think good thing to put this country
under control of Foreign Council The votes for Harding
will tell how many Ignorant and mpudent' Americans
believe they well able to manage their affairs

for eight years to supervise their management C0NSTl
TUTIONALLY.
MI. Wilson in his letter to the public says 1.-THE chief
question that put is OF course this Do want
your counys honor indicated and the Treaty of Yer
saiIes ratifed?"
That isn't the question and never will bel
the question. The PEOPLE of the United States didn't
rafy any treaty didn't write it, didn't advocate it, didn't
WANT it.
They don't know to what extent the President without
authority from the people the Senate undertook to
guarantee that this country would do he said They dol
not know whether he assured Europe in violation of the
Constitution that HE could put through treaty in spite
of the Senate and without the Senate Constitution FL
he did, then his honor perhaps needs vindicating The
people Of the United States will attend to their honor
which is not involved in the effort of any individual to
deliver, the nation.
