TOM wATsON'S DIATRIBE.

Few of our people take Tom Watson
seriously. Nevertheless he ought not
to he permitted with impunity to SLAM
der ousrageously the United states
army on the floor OF the United States
Senate. II he can prove the appalling
allegations he makes. he viii raise
such n rumpus as will satisfy ever
his craving for sensationalism. III
he cannot prove his mopstrous
charges ne ought to be subjected 10
such a penalty as will leave its welt
upon even the thickest hide. In IN
fuential quarters It Is intimatcd al
ready that the alternative ought to be
expulsion from the Senate.
What warrant is there for such' a
charge as this i'm Watson's tirade:
"How many senators know that a
private soldier was frequently shot by
his officers because of some complaint
against insolence. and that they had
galiows upon which men were hanged,
day after day, without court martial
or any other form OF trialY How
many senators know that? 4 had and
have the photograph Of one OF those
gallows <4ipon which 21 white boys
had already been executed at sunrise
when the photograph was taken, and
there were others waiting In the caHp
jails 10 be hanged morning after
morning"
Any man who will make such
charge without the most minute IN
vestigation and the most positive proof
is out OF his place in the national
legislature. Senator Watson has been
saying the same thing on the stump
and In the papers he controls. But he
says II now just when distinguished
international gathering is about to
convene in Washington; he utters
The infamous charge in place and

his facts or to retract his SANDER

Presidents Construction OF The
Treaty.

President Harding pulled a bone" as
the saying is. when he expressed the opin-
ion that the words 'insular possessions
and d0minions" in the Four Power Treaty
did not apply to the home land Of Japan.
The American delegation had agreed to
the construction Of the phrase to include
the home land or japanese Empire.
Following visit from Senators Lodge
and Underwood to the President a state
ment was issued from the White House
that the difference in view in no wise
would be permitted to embanass the con-
ference or the ratification of the treaty.
For time the original statement created
some bewilderment and confusion. all of
which can be obviated hereafter il the
American delegates will let the President
in on what they are doing and what it
means.

"stupid Beyond Description"

The recent conference on unemployment
called by the President recommended among
other things an appropriation Of $400.-
900 for the Federal Labor Employment
Bureau to aid in reducing unemployment !;
the Doves Budget Commission Qoud ap-
plause) fixed the amount at 100000.
and the Senate by an amendment to a
deficiency bill appropriated 100000,
which was stricken out in conference.
Commenting on this. Senator France
(Rep.. Md. made this araienment of his
party. which, by the way. is specializing
on deficiency bills
This condition of unemployment is
a serious and tragic one. and we are
denied by the obstinacy of some members
Of this conference committee in the House. a
paltry 100000 to find relief for 100000
of unemployed men. who are suffering not
through fault of their own, not because of
the consequences Of war. but because of
the stupidity of our governmental policy.
There is no fundamental reason why there
should be unemployment and financial in
dustriaI and commercial depression in the
United States
To this statement, Senator Robinson
(Dem.. Ark replied. deploring the injec-
ton of politics into this subject. and say
ing:
Il have no disposition to take issue with
the Senator from Maryland respecting the
terrible anaignment he has made Of the

scterized its governmental policies as

no disposition to inject at this time into

Three years and more have come and
gone since the party with which the Sena-
tor from Maryland is associated assumed
control in both branches Of Congress, with
an overwhelming majority. and when he
denounces the governmental policy Of the

and commercial and industrial conditions
as stupid beyond description. he charac-
terizes in his own chosen way the policies
