Every inch of the path into Euro- pean and Asiatic responsibilities, bur- dens and dangers which Uncle Sam is invited to tread is being microscopical- 1y examined as to its necessity, as to States in the manner provided by the Constitution. But we should make every effort to agree with our war associates upon the terms of a treaty equitably ending the war with Germany by imposing upon that nation a victors' peace which will prevent for many years resumption of a war of conquest by Germany, and we should perform our part faithfully and as long as the necessity exists in enforcing the terms of this treaty. Thus the administration, avoiding extremes, in shunning the rock Scylla of the Versailles league of nations, will not permi itself to be engulfed in the whirlpool Charybdis, of unconditional repudiation of the entire Versailles treaty. ” Uncle Sam cannot, for example, agree to the league of nations item or the Shantung item of the Versailles treaty; but if those and any other hurtful and obnoxious provisions may be omitted the expurgated Versailles treaty is the natural world agreement to end this war with a just and endur- ing peace. Such a peace can be se- cured only by the association and agreement of the United States and of the allied nations in the world war. For this purpose a separate peace treaty between the United States and Germany will not suffice. —————— 'Denver, will ballot for president of that organization. Samuel Gompers, its first president gnd continuously oc- cupying that office since 1894, is a candidate for re-election. Annually for several years opposition to him has developed, but at the conventions it has disappeared, with the result of his regular re-election. This year the op- position has become more pronounced, and now John L. Lewis, president of | the United Mine Workers, has an- | nounced his candidacy. Mr. Gompers has stated that his name will stand ing that has been known in this or- 1 ganization in many years. The fight at Denver is, broadly, be- tween the conservative and the radical forces in organized labor. Lewis rep- iresents an element that regards the i strike as the first and chief weapon of labor.

The leaders of the party in power have rejected this suggestion. They have laid their course by the propo- sition that the present tariff, ne\'erl of the case. may not have a long lease of life. But it it contributes to easing present dif- ficulties as affected by the tariff it will serve a good purpose.

How far along this path must Uncle Sam proceed to avoid being a quitter? At what point must he come to a halt in order to avoid being imposed upon as a “sucker”? One distinct line of demarcation nated is that which divides our obli- gations springing out of this war and those alleged to have been incurred in respect to future wars. *The fine impulse which carried the United States into the war with Ger- many will not be spent until the pur- poses for which the war was fought, and for which supreme sacrifices have been made, and which are to be crys- tallized, even though imperfectly, in a final treaty of peace, have been at- tained. Congress declared war against Germany, and under this original im- pulse we shall not falter in carrying to its logical end the present war. Our reservations and protests will not re- pudiate any obligetions arising in- evitably from the war now ending. ‘We shall, however, reserve our free will as to the making of future wars, even if these future wars are decreed by a “world” league and are designed to enforce peace. Our conceded obli- gations pertain to the present war and its aftermath and do not, without dis- tinct and voluntary renewal by the nation, carry over into the next war, whatever its character and whenever it may occur. Tn meeting this war’s obligations we reserve, moreover, the right to define the scope of these obligations and to determine the methods by which they shall be met. For example, the nation has de- liberately, formally, in accordance with the constitutional requirements, re- pudiated the league of nations under the Versailles covenant. Our executive representative at Paris, in performing his part of the treaty-making and war-ending func- tion, made for the nation certain promises conditioned on approval by the co-ordinate authority in treaty- making of two-thirds of the Senate. ‘The league of nations, as proposed in the Versailles treaty, and that treaty itself, so far as the league of nations is inseparably interwoven in it as an integral and vital part, have been dis- approved by the Senate and in a na- tional referendum by the vote of the people of the United States. In orderly constitutional fashion the nation has withheld its approval from these par- ticular tentative conditional promises and they fall to the ground. ‘The nation will not sacrifice or en- danger vital American principles and policies in order to participate in a division of victors’ “spoils,” in which we neither ask nor get any of the “gpoils,” in which we are invited to guarantee title and possession of “spoils” to the other powers and in which we are to be compensated for our sacrifices by incurring the uni- versal ill-will which attaches to the Jjust umpire. On the other hand, we shall not, except under absolutely unavoidable compulsion, make a distinctively sepa- rate peace treaty with Germany re- pudiating utterly the treaty which, with our associates, we have helped to make in ending the war which we have helped to win. The world league of nations is now separated, so far as America is con- cerned, from the Versailles agreement, but the obligation remains to share with our allies or associates in the treaty ending this war and in enforc- ing its terms. It is conceivable that our allies or associates may prevent us from ful- filling this obligation by holding to a peace treaty with Germany which re- tains enough of the hurtful and ob- noxious features of the Versailles pact to_prevent approval by the United | federation declare itself strongly in behalf ‘of Ireland and institute a boy- cott of British products. With these lGampors has no sympathy, and his isupporters include, apart from domes- ’!i( labor questions, those who feel that it is not the business of the federation to mix into political matters or take part in international controversies. Dispatches from Denver indicate that despite the great strength of Lewis’ own organization and affilia- tions attributed as friendly to him, Gompers at present commands the support of a majority of the delegates at the convention. The voting is to be by representation. That is to say, a few hundred men will cast several thousand votes, in ratio to their organ- ization memberships. For instance, the {miners are entitled to 4,257 votes in | the convention, and these, it is claim- ed by Lewis’ supporters, will be thrown to him solidly, though some doubt has been cast upon the unanimity of the miners. Lewis’ lieutenants are asserting that he is assured of at least 20,000 votes, and that his announce- ment as a candidate {is, therefore, tantamount to his election. Equal confidence is expressed by Gompers’ friends. The public generally takes but little | interest in the outcome of this fight as it affects the individuals involved. But there is much concern over the out- come on the score of possible change of policy on the part of the American Federation of Labor. If that organiza- i tion is turned into radical lines it may | prove a decidedly harmtul influence in the American industrial situation. ———————— Many colleges are inclined to give less attention to classical education. However, so long as popular love of poetry and romance continues there will be need of the classics, and an element of advantage to the compara- tively few who pursue them. i The submarine Deutschland, which visited Baltimore in 1916, was sunk in target practice. It found an inglo- rious finish after a career which began with spectacular promise. ‘ The league of nations has aroused some inquiry as to whether it is not one of those incidents in affairs that represent overlapping activities. The coal strike threatens to become one of those British institutions in i whose permanency so much pride is taken. A soviet diplomat is not regarded as qualified for service now unless he is an expert in commercial arithmetic. The West in Playtime Mood. Now and then there is lamentation that the old west has passed; that the “wild and woolly” country has been reduced to the order and customs of the east, and all color taken -out of life beyond the Mississippi. Not so, Read the invitation Secretaries Fall and Denby have received to attend a frontier day’s celebration at Cheyenne, ‘Wyo., July 26 to 29, inclusive: “You will see a celebration known throughout the world for having the most spectacular and virile sports latter-day mankind has evolved. You will find that these sports are no tame rehearsed affairs, but that they provide the keenest kind of competi- tion for real cowboys and cowgirls from all over the west for the world championships in broncho busting, steer roping, bulldogging, trick rid- ing, fancy roping and all the other sports of the open range. And you will find _every contest chuck full of thrills. You will see wild men and wilder horses in action_and fighting for their very lives.
