Senate Authority

AS we see it, the light in the Sen
ate over reciprocal trade pactS IS
not so much a matter Of the right or
wrong OF the principie Of reciprocity
as of the authority u the Senate IT.
SELF to have a hand in the conclusion
OF these agreements.
Chairman Fittman, OF the foreign
relations committee, rated one OF
the outstanding authorities in the
upper house on Constitutional gov
ernment, declares the system IS I'M
constitutional and contends that ap-
proval by tWo-thirlS vote OF the
Senate should be obtained before 1t
can pass muster before the nations
organic law.
Senator Pat HarriSOn'S argument
that the principle originated with
Republican statesmen OF genera
lion or more ago does not in itself
make it conform 10 the Constitution.
1t is surprising that so staunch
Democrat as he would call into
Judgment the teachings OF an oppo-
sition party TO bolster his position.
II, as ne said, it has worked to the
benefit Of commerce, why should
there be objection to allowing the
Senate hand in the negotiations,
seeing as how that BODY presumably
should be deeply concerned IN be-
half of any undertaking for the vel
fare and betterment Of the country?
The MisslSsippian'S argument, or
so much OF it as was carried in news
reports, confined itself largely to the
souhdness Of reciprocal trade poll
cies as such, and not to the issue OF
transferring TO the executive branch
of the government the right to make
the agreements independent Of the
Senate.
Senator Harrison argues the emer-
gency nature of the reciprocal pacts,
but how wen the country has learn
cd already that powers conferred in
the name OF emergency have d way
OF becoming permanent without
further permission or ado on the
part OF that branch Of the govern
ment that does the comforting.
There is no assurance in this in
Stance that history will not repeat
itself.

Secretary Hull reiterates that ne
is not candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president, will make
no campaign for delegates and Will
ask no friends to do so, and will not
seek the nomination at the Chicago
convention.
1t is a strange sort of attitude for
a man to take to say all that with
his star rising so rapidly, and with
the rumored support of an incum-
bent so powerful and influential as
Mr.. Roosevelt. Yet somehow it rather
strikes us that here is the type OF
presidential timber that would ut
into the cornerstone perhaps best.
Mr.. Hull of course is more con-
scious than any one else OF his age,
and may feel that the comparatively
few years of life left to him are more
precious than would be the honor
and the place in history that would
be assured as President OF the Unit
ed States. And for that he cannot
be Justly cenSured.
The secretary also knows some
thing of the burden that rests on
The shoulders of the chief executive.
and the cares that so along with the
lob. He may not admit it, bt,t his
friends are nevertheless aware that
he has been a success in his present
office. A Democrat of the old school,
whose creed and ethics are quite at
variance at times with these new
doctrines. he has held firmly to his
task. and has been so adept at 1t
that Mr.. Roosevelt has been able to
entrust weighty foreign responsible
,ities to the cabinet premier while he
HIMSELF kept his fences mended in
the domestic arena.
Cordell Hull has the experience,
the ability, the background, the gen.
eral knowledge, ana virtually all
other qualifications for the presi-
dency, except his age and the fact
that he is moi much Of an orator.
Both likely would be a handicap.
Yet statesmen in other countries
serve in high office long alter the
age Hull now is or would be even
at the end of term or two in the
White House.
Back in January, Mr. Hull made
the statement that he had no preSi-
.!ential ambitions. That could mean
one or more of several things. At
east it did not disqualify him. And
re is the sort of Democrat who
would not shrink from the response
oility were his party to request that
re accept it. He would be fitting
successor to the present White
House incumbent.

This process has continued I'M

we can't say that the choice of any

Our problems.
Of course, the good doctor knows
all the answers to or riddles. No
doubt he ponders long and often on
the tragic loss to the State in his
own absence from the panel from
which voters are being asked to
make their selection of the next gov
crnor. He carries the title of as
sistant director of extension at the
State University, but he never seems
to have any difficulty at all in find
ing time, in ample abundance, to
digress long enough to advise the
populace the course they should pulr-
SUE in their politics, and to inform
them of what is wrong with the
State.

A Slap at the South

Much has already Deen written

It's sponsors say it would pass If al
lowed to come to a vote, but south
ern senators, taking the view that it
is a measure aimed directly al the
South, say they will talk it to death
again. as they have a time or two
before.
The bill is just another Of those
TOOL propositions to which certain

lynching, and set about to eradicate
it from their section. They have all
but done that, for III 1899 there were
only three lynchings, and in recent
years before then the number Of in
stances of mob violence showed a
steady decline.
Why not, then, let the South pro-
coed to solve its own problem? Why
not be reasonably content with the
progress that is already being made?
There is but one answer, and that is
that the Civil War is still in progress

hates of lot of legislators and other
influential people.
Penalties imposed upon officers

that an angry mob is going to stop to
ponder whether or not 4 sheriff
would be fined or sent to prison, or
whether tax would be levied on
the county in which they were about
to apply illegal death? II congress-
men and senator's believe that, they
are not intelligent enough to be en-
trusted with making this cOuntry's
