DIsREGARDING COUNTRY.

Anything to get even with those who were not willing to put this country into tho league of nation seems to be the policy under which certain of the dem- Ocratic leaders are working in opposing the ratification of the four-power trea- ty. Even the himsiest of excuses and assertions which have to be admitted la ter SFe incorrect are being made to pre- vent the necessary two-thirds affirma- tive vote. There is a willingness to sacrifice the national welfare in order Co accomplish that puerile trick of get ting even wNh a few individuals or to embsrrass the republican party
 All that is needed is to make note of the inconsequenual questions that are asked by the opposition regarding the treaty and the conversations that took place while it was under consideration, and an idea can be quickly gained of the end that Is aimed at. The attitude Of disregarding the future peace in the Pacific and paying no attention to the sentiment of the country in respect to the taking preventive measures against wars Is one which cannot win favor and one which does not represent the desires of the people, and getting even with or trying to get even with the oth- e- political party is not going to be ac- cepted as a proper discharge of sena- tors duty.
 The effort to throw suspicion about the manner in which the treaty was drafted is characteristic of some of the opposition. When, however, Secretary Hughes declared that he drafted 1t and that it was adopted as he drafted t with a few changes it quickly silencet the opponents on that score.
 This treaty which is the keystone of the o.hs!s was not approved by the con ference for purposes of boosting the re ploiicen party. The interests of th' country are served and it is not to ht overlooked that democratic representa- Ion was provided upon that body O delegates named by the president an as the democratic leader in the senate Senator Underwood is an enthusiasts advocate of tia treaty. The duty of Uh senate members irrespective Of TF
 Co give their a~sL consideration to tn Interests oi the nation. and some of tn democrats fail 10 see that 1t will be boomerang If they do not.

IN BEHALF OF JUSTICE.

When it comes to administering jus tlcs it is to be expected that the rights ot all are given consideration. It Isn't Co be expected that those who are o.a7ged with crime or the violation of laws will be thrown into jail and kept waiting indefinitely until inadequate court machinery can hear the cases which have a priority claim. and it isn't 10 he expected that criminals and law breakers wiil be turne1 loose upon the community or fail to receive proper punishment just because the number of eases IS large and the dockets have be- come clogged.
 If ant industrial plant isn't able to taks care of the business in its particu- Tar line it is invariably the result that t adds to it's equipment. That is the policy which is being followed in ask Ing congress to increase the number of federal judges. The courts at the pres ant time are not able to handle the cases that are awaiting disposition. Justice Is not being done when courts undertake record breaking efforts in the disposition of cases by the imposition Of ridieulously low fines on pleas of 9~--~S -tA NAuEi AO [lSaI uOChetS. lndl is simply a display of leniency that en- eourages repetitlons rather than awaker respect for the law.
 According to a committee named by the American Bar association to con sider the matter of crime in this coun try t IS found that crime has reached an appalling proportion in this countrJ is found that crime has reached al appalling proportion in this country an, that unless checked soon will carry tn nation to anarchy.

The add ttenal judges are being sought to cos rect present shameful conditions in tf administration of justice and the quiol CT they are authorized and named tr quicker will the country get the benef of the new machinery in dealing wit the business before the courts.

ENFORCEMENT IS NEEDED.

It is taking some time to complete the taking of evidence in regard to the collapse of & theater building fin the course of construction in Brooklyn but the revelations go to show condition against the repetition of which thers must be the strictest kind of measures taken if buildings of any kind are go- ing to be protected against similar re- suits.
 It has even been shown that the building was started without a permit having been obtained for the construc- ton work and that the inspector had not made any report of the situation or the weaknesses to the building depart ment all of which shows that the reli- ance that was being placed in the build Ing department of that city was wertr- less. There was recognition of the need of maintaining such a department and having careful inspections to see that requirements were met but that is about as far as it got. Those who were in of flee holding jobs of responsibility didn't take any such view of it. Having got ten a job, which of coTrse was a politi- ! cal one, they considered there was little else to do but to look the part and trust that everything would go along smooth ly. that contractors would be awed b5 their appointment and do honest worl whether they were watched or not, ant If we are to judge by the conditions sur rounding the theater building matteri did go along that way on sort of 8 hi or miss schedul" until the partly fin ished structure collapsed.
 That brought the revelation as t conditions that were existing. The in vestigation is showing Up the situation aud now the question must arise in tn minds of the people as to how long tn effect of the collapse will make itsel felt in getting better inspection. It vii
 be easy to get back to old condition
 unless there Is due insistence upon tn carrying out of the requirements. I doesn't appear that there is any lack 0
 laws "or regulations but demand fo
 the enforcement of those that hay long existed.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Giulio Gatti-Casazza, whose contract as general manager of the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York has been extended for three years, is now in his fourteenth season as the head of that famous institution, his administration being the longest in it's history. It was in 1908 that he came to New York from Milan, where for ten years he had been the general manager of the celebrated Scala Opera. A native of Ferrara, Cat ti-Casazza gave up a career in the Ital- san navy at the age of twenty-four to succeed his father as director of the municipal opera in his native place. His success at Ferrara was so pronounced that when the influential citizens of Mi. Ian were in need of a new director of the Scala they unhesitatingly chose young Gatti-Casazza- During his four. teen years at the Metropolitan, he has produced about 15e operas. nearly fifty of wrich were never before given ir America. During the same period h, has produced ten new American work. and revived about fifty of the older op eras.

DEALING MYTH INDIA.

Now that Ghandi, the Indian leader, Aaa been arrested the indications are that Great Britain believes that the need ef showing a hrm hand has been too long delayed in dealing with affairs in IRdia, and with Montagu out 1t has lost no time in putting 1t into effect. While other Fesignations are expected and the post of secretary for India in the cab met ia being flled the need of early ae- tien is shown to be recognized.

[" Hell get away if you don't hurryr stated the other Dear me' gtoomed the Others wife don't see why can't catch onei hope you won't lose it.
 T suppose all this conaicting advice rattled Imogene, because she gave the pole heroic pull and nice white bass flashed out of the water. That seemingly was as I far as 1t was to get, because she let him ! dangle over the deep while all Of US yelled | at her. When she did reel him in over the dock he swung wildly, first over, then of, each off time al lof us letting out mob ! whoop of horror. Finally with one tre- l mendous arc he swung and landed directly in the blue serge lap of the Others wife who mechanically clapped her knees to- gether, pioni1g him.

 That being really the important point. the fish was finally strung on a line an= hung over the edge of the pier and we settled down once more, the Others wife still aggrievedly distant when zpologIzed to. She said her dress would now always .hslFe the fragrance of Fulton street, New York and that it practically was a new dress, and. anyhow, she didn't see why she couldn't catch anything. Everybody Twas getting pesvish when landed one and added 1t to our string, and Imogene and l

But it often happens that the political color of the next election of members of the house is changed and the president finds himself in the midst of an antagonist congress in the middle of his term This makes carrying of certain political poli- cies either difficult or impossible. Mir. Campbell believes this does not give a president a fair chance to prove his theories and those of his party which elected him. The Campbell bill does not affect the election of senators whose terms are for six years.
