pure and simple Having made Mckinley President
ne Lnen mace himself united State senator from
ONO; ana all the Mckinley administration he was
the power behind the throne; while under the Nc
kinney adminlstra ton big business just ran riot
DOJn IN Congress and at the White House. They got
everything tney wanted at either place. Moreover
there seemed any difference with succeeding
Republican administrators.
10 get back to the original theme OF this article:
Why the anxiety to ratlfy the treaty somehow! Yes-
erday the telegraph news told that 22 Democratic
Senators viii break from Wilson and vote for he
publican reservations rather than let the treaty oe
killed in the Senate: And moreover the same report
states that if that is done President Wilson will with
draw the treaty. That suggests another inquiry.
Why is the President anxious about ratification
of the treaty just the way he drew it?
No wonder those who return from the East
where they get gimpses of what is going on tell
folks when they return that "there is great mixup
which no one can fathom."
There is prevalent these days fascinating game
Of solitaire in which the player writes tells What
Christ would do were he on Earth today" or what
George Washington would do; or what Abraham
Lincoln would do 1t is observable always that the
player asserts the departed great would do just
as the player wants done
There is an old saying: "a house built never
sells for so much as it COST" That was before the
big raise in building materials.
Human guilt cannot go beyond the crime of
those who solicit war.
Some men have virtue to recommend them; 9TH
ers noteworthy for their gall only.
