1t 10 a usurpation OF the Presidents
exclusive power with respect to the
making Of treaties.
Senator Hitchcock was frequently In
terrupted by Senators Colt, Borah and
Reed. They challenged his assertions
that the, resolution infrnged on the
President's treaty making authority
No supporter of this resolution"
formed the Senate what beneficial
effect it can possibly have. Perhaps
some are iaboring under the delusion
tnat 1t will promote trade with Ger
many. AS matter of fact the official
statistics OF our commerce show that
we have already resumed trade with
Germany on a large scale. What is
this resolution for if it is not an at
tempt to usurp the functions of the
Executive and practically to direct him
IN the course of negotiating a new
treaty with Germany?
Under his constitutional powers the
president is confronted by two alter
natives, and under his responsibility to
the American people he should be per-
mitted to choose for himself which
ohe ne VIII take. E1Cner ne can at
tempt In some way to ratify with res
ervationA and amendments the Yer
sailles Treaty, to which we are party,
or he can abandon utterly the Yer
sailles Treaty and negotiate new and
square treaty with Germany. This
resolution is an attempt to dictate to
the Executive what he shall put in a
new treaty with Germany
AS to the power to pass this resolu-
ton Senator Colt said
Congress can repeal any statute that
1T can pass"
Senator Hitchcock criticized Repuh
lican leaders for not making speeches
for the resolution. He said there was
conspiracy of silence" on the part
of those who were trying to pass it.
10 this Senator Reed replied that it
was evident "a conspiracy of silence is
impossible in the United States Senate"
Senator Reed quoted from Mr.. Har
ding's speech of acceptance at Marion
to show the President had long been
committed to prompt passage of a
peace resolution
Senator'S Mcclellan, of Tennessee,

N Z PROPOSAL.
The government Is not taking yteps

The government Is not taking steps TO accept
the Muscie-Shoak proposal of Mr.. Ford with any
indecent haste. The offer is being analyzed and
investigated. II Has not been accepted nor has il
jbeen rejected: but oncyanatysis OF it which has inst
been made tends TO cast some doubt on the opinion
which has beea expressed that Mr.. Fordsis offering
himself a patriotic sacrifice in order to relieve the
government Of al oppressive burden.
Mr.. Ford offered to take the Muscle-Shoals
property over from the government on i long lease
lon certain terms which he specified. Included in
these terms was the completion BY the government
Icf certain projects which have been started. The
government under the proposal is expected to CON
|tinuc it's investment in the property for several
years. The additional capital which viii be reouir-
ed for the completion of these projects is estimated
lat $5S,000,000. The annual interest at 4 per cent
ION the invested capital for one hundred wears
Ean1ounts to $3.50, 100000, a total Of II little over
|$291, 100000. Mr.. Ford proposes to pay in rental
[or interest a little hess than one half Of this. When
the payments of interest and principal which it will
be necessary for the government to make are cap
itahzed, the result is a little over one billion dollars.
According to this analysis, which is made BY
the Electrical World acceptance of the Ford offer
would tie up the government to a large expenditure
for a great number Of years and would amount in
effect to making him a present of about one billion
dollars in cash. If this is a correct estimate. the
proposal is scarcely likely to be accepted. Thus far
the indications have been that the proposition was
not favorably regarded by the war department
which will be required to pass on it.

PUTTING AN END TO LYNcH1NG.

.ZE oOWud 1T HuOAVlllC, tennessee, the Otnef night,
q sheriff and his deputies wounded by gun-fire TWEEN
'tty-seven persons in a crowd Of 200 who had gathered
Tor the purpose of selling a negro who had been ar
rested on the charge of having committed a grave
crime, and who was then held in custody in the
county jail. Members of the mob demanded the sur
render of the prisoner. The sheriff refused. After the
mob had twice been driven back the sheriff gave no
;tice that if a certain designated line were crossed he
and his deputies would shoot. The line was crossed.
The officers Shot, not, apparently, directly at the
pose OF intMnidating them. The buckshot distributed
itself pretty generally through the crowd, and TWEEN
,ty-seven persons were more or less seriously wound
led. The lynching'party adjourned sine die
The sheriff will be excoriated for shooting into
IA crowd of white people to save the life of a black
man. 1t will be asserted that, because of his act a
number of innocent bystanders have suffered. IL he
made any mistake it was that of excessive modera-
ton in seeking to avoid killing anyone. If he had
shot directly at the leaders, and shot to Kill, those at
merely as on lockers, might not have been hurt But
what he actually did will have the excellent effect of
the status of the innocent bystander''
lat q scene of mob violence.
When the peace of a community is endangered
by persons who have assembled for the express pur-
pose of offering violent resistance to its laws, and a
responsible officer orders the immediate dispersal
of the gathering, there are thereafter no innocent by
ISLANDERS All persons refusing OF. neglecting to move
lon quietly and peaceably thereby identify them
whatever action may be necessary to dispense it. A
crisis exists, and the officer in charge must act in
and decisively. He cannot cab for a vote or
take any other means to separate the sheep from the
goats. Those who fail to obey his orders are defying
the authority which he represents, and they must
take whatever consequences there are.
A few such exhibitions Of courage and determi-
nation and of right conception of the majesty Of the
state as was given by the Tennessee sheriff would
remove from the reputation Of this country the blot
which our long list Of lynchings has placed upon it.
In most cases lynchings and similar crimes occur
because of the conviction that the officer does not
really intend to perform his full duty. He may argue
lace does not believe that he will actually shoot. But
when mobs understand that the officer will shoot,
and that he will shoot to kill, mobs will cease to be.
