The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1920-03-12

If the Senate were controlled solely
by patriotic motives, it would set
aside the peace treaty as quickly as
possible, recognizing the futility of
debating it OF approving it with reser-
vations which President WfsorfTwill
not accept. So far as American ad.
herence to the treaty is concerne6,,
that is an impossibility without the
surrender of the Senate to the Presi-
dent or the President to the Senate.
Inasmuch as no surrender is in sight,
there is no good reason for taking up
the time of the Senate in discussing
the treaty. A hundred additional
votes passing the Lodge reservations
would not make them more effective
than they were before, nor would
these ballotings affect the Presidents
right to pocket the treaty. Senator's
know these facts as we'll as the public
knows them. Obviously political mo-
tives are behind the debate and the
votes. The making of peace should
not be partisan question in any
sense or to any degree. Unfortunate
ly, from the moment President Wilson
asked the people to elect a Democra-
tic Congress in order that he might be
the "unembarrassed spokesman" of
America in the peace negotiations,
the business of getting out of the war
has been embroiled in politics. There
is no extricating the treaty from
politics at this late day. On the con-
trary, it is the chief issue between
the great parties, and it will quite
overshadow all other questions in the
Observation-Disclosures Post.

UP TO AMERICAN PEOPLE
(From the New York Sum-

The return of the American rail-
way system to private management
was greeted with nothing less than a
national burst of rejoicing. 1t is an
incontroyertible fact that this country
ought to have the best railway SER
vice in the world, as it once did have.
American business judgment practi-
cal experience and horse sense reach
ed the conviction months ago that
Government railroading was hope
less proposition. SO the American
people were ready, eager and deter
mined to get the operation of the
carriers out of the hands of the Gov
eminent.

Mr.. Lane, until lately Secretary Of
Interior, Complains that in Washing
ton official life there is no initiative
and "the creative sense atrophies."
Yes, but look what happened to Lam
sing when he took a little initiative.
The President proceeded to fire him
out Of the Cabinet. If there is no in
itiative, no creative spirit, among gov
eminent officials, it is because Mr..
Wilson wants none about him but men
of the willingly go along" type.

THE COLBY APPOINTMENT
(From the Indianapolis News

The appointment of cambridge
Colby; of New York, to be secretary
OF state, is primarily a>political ap-
pointment., Mr.. Colby is man of
character and ability, but the coun-
try is full of such men. 1t was not his
pre-eminent fitness that led the Presi-
dent to pass over many Democrats
who had held the faith for lifetime
in favor of one who did not affiliate
with the party until 1919. There is
in this appointment an undoubetd ap-
peal for recruits from the progressive
element.
