To the The Event Star In your issue of yesterday you quc sentence from a speech of Senator H. to this effect, “that if the United State acquire the Philippine Islands to govern them as a subject or vassal state the de- struction of the American republic will date from the administration of William McKinley.” After paying just tribute to atesmanship and ability of Senator you procsed to say that “he may be sure that what he now says finds its way promptly to Paris and Madrid and gives th> Spaniards very great comfort and stiffens their backbene in the negotiations for peace.” You do not openly charge Mr. Hoar with treason, but you use a part of the language in which the offense is defined in the Constitution; and ft is the same lan- guage which a part of the newspaper press ively used si the begin- ning of the Spanish war to silence the free- dom of speech—a right onc- supposed to ! guaranteed by the organic law to every American citizen, however humble or ob- secure. But does it not occur to you that Mr. Hoar is something more than a private citizen? He is a senator of the United States, representing a people whose patriot- ism and devotion to liberty are beyond the assaults of mendacity itself. It was said by the Romans, whose chief business was war, until by it they lost their liberties, their manhood and then their country, that in war the laws are silent. The lesson to f drawn from their experience should instruct us to remember one law at the least, to ditor « a ar wit, the Constitution of the United States. Urder that instrument Senator Hoar Is a part of the treaty-making power of this covntry, The President of the United States has no power to decia war. That pewer is v2sted in Congress clone. The President of himself has no authority conclude the treaty of peace now I If the President can wi he tre: gress at Paris. war without consent of Congress cal equally caus® to bs prosecuted for any member of Congress who r: his against the act of usurpation when once committed. Congress did declare war against Spain but the declaration was a limited one. Its scope and purpose were clearly defined. It was to free the Island of Cuba from the authority of Spain, not for our use, but for the use and enjoyment of its inhabi ants. We not only proclaimed “that t people of the Island of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and independent,” but that “the United States hereby dis- claims any disposition or intention to ex+ cise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island except for the pacification thereof.” The whole scope of the war as declared by Congress (the only war-making power) was that “Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the Island of Cuba and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.”’ It is barely possible that Senator Hoar, like many of his constituents, and lik some others in thts country, who would de- light to be represented by senators who are not afraid of jingo whi any war waged for purposes outside declaration of Congress is, in the langud of the lawyers, ultra vires, and without au- thority or sanction of law. The whole object of the war— over- throw of Spain’s authority in Cuba—is al- ready fully accomplished, and in two weeks the last Spanish soldier will probably have gone. The question about which Senator Hoar spoke is the acquisition and government of the Philippine Islands, and as a senator he has a right to speak, unless it be conceded that the President, without the action or authority of Congress, may wage war, and then conclude treaties without the concur- rence of the Senate. The constitutional provision is that “he (the President) shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties. provided two-thirds of the senators present coucur.” ~*~ Senator Hoar is one of those senators whose advice and consent must be obtein- ed before the result of the Paris confer- ence, now in session, can take the form of a treaty. Senator Hoar may well believe, as others believe, that constitutional safe- guards may have been better preserved if the Senate of the United States had been called in session by the President and its “advice” asked before final instructions were given to our commissioners, It is quite likely that the “advice” of these sen- ators, who at last must give their “con- sent’ before this tentative work becomes law, would have reflected the will of the American people better even than the huz- zahs of a few popular meetings at the rear end of a Pullman car. In this I do not trouble myself to ap- prove or disapprove the sentiments pro- claimed by Senator Hoar. I simply de- mand that he has an undoubted right to say what he did say without giving “aid and comfort’ to the public enemy. Free- dom of speech in America is worth more than the Philippine Islands, more than Cuba, more than all of Europe. J. B.
