It was the instinct of American democracy that repelied the defiand. Such long has been the zov- eriment Of Mékico. A government with a Ibuis Napoleon at one end and a plebiscite at the other and with naught but subservience between is not a free republic. It is autocracy by consent. “The Presidént's defiance of the authority 8f the Sénate to advise upon the covenadit of the Lieague of Nations and to give of withhold its consent to the ratification of the Treaty contain- ing it,” he continued, “was a challenge to the riht of any officer of the United States governmént.to exercise his pow- ers in any way which had not the approval of the chief executive. “The President had the Constitution- al authority and duty to mekotiaté a treaty.

I hope the treaty will be ratified with the resérvatiohs 16ng before the Presidential election. That will be dohe if the President pefmits it. If that is not done, then that is what 1 think the Republican Party ought to stand for. “Immediately after the fourth of March, 1921, a Reépublican Président should urge upon the Society of Na- ‘tions the feform of the League Coveh- ant, 0 as to make it establish the rile of publie right rathér than thé rule of mere expediency, S0 as to make thé peace of the world rest primarily upon law, ahd upon the effectivenéss apd enforcement of law.

The de- demands may be moderate today, he said, but with power unrestrained, the demands will become oppressive to- morrow. ». “We should not attempt to make any man\ workagainst his will or take away his right to strike” he asserted “but we should ¥ law J.it that right to strike at a point where it comes in conflict with the community’s high right of geif-preservation. No man or set of men can justly claim the right to undertake the performasre of a seryice upon which the health and life of others depend, and then to abandon the service at will. The line between such a performance and an ordinary strike should be drawn by law. “Inseparably connected with the right of control by the governing peo- ple is the duty of justice resting upon them. If the people by law prohibit organized labor from holding them up to enforce its demands, the people are bound t6 providé means to ascertain whether the demands are just, and for enforcing them if found just. That duty calls for the establishment of & competent and impartial tribunal, and for the enforcement of its dew'sions.” Referring to the questi of eco- nomy, Mr. Root declared “it is true that a pelitical party cannot make in- dividuals thrifty, but a political party ean produce the shining and potent " Mr. THROAT _IRRITA- TIONS AT THE THEATRE Lt COUGH 'DROPS stop the throat frri- tations—soothes the Tembrane and pre- anneying ph "“Emln;}t ns_pro- ;u)pufm L. .C Cough Ty a pérfect rfi' for throdt tatioss, 3 SEE OUR EXHIBIT AT THE NEW LONDON AUTO SHOW Stats Aoty Februaty 18th to Z1st { { + = exhibit sets e pace.

When we find Bolshe- vik missidnaries inciting criminal overthrow of tq2 govérnment, it is lawtul and sensible, hé argued, to pum- ish and deport them: “The right of free speech doer not include the right to incite crime,” he explained. “Yét we must he careful not to overlook the distinction. Let there be a fair hearing, and let no ex- pression of mere differing epinion— however gadical or distasteful — be punished.” The chief means of meeting the Bol- shevik assault, he asserted wag “"Am- ericanization.” We must not confine it to the foreign born, He stated, it must extend to all children in the schools, and tb that end to peaehérs in the schools, not by any means éx- cluding the professors in our cellégés. | LEONARD BRIDGE Recent Colchester visitors Included Rexford B.
