. TO-DAY-NOW-ENJOY FLORIDA FRUIT THE FLAVOR IS DIFFERENT ('EXQUISITE' IS THE WORD) BETRAYING THE DEAD. Ratification of the treaty of poet has again boen defraud, in circum stances no different from thorn Which controlled the action of the senate four months ago. The Republican senators, under the leadership of Mr. Lodes, would not accept the treaty of Versailles, which has born ratified by all other belligerents and has already boen put into effect They Insisted upon making a treaty of their own. The administration Democrats would not accept the. reecrvatlons framed by the Republicans and adopted by the votes of senators cppoaad to the Testy in any form The battalioa of-dcath (Republicans having voted with She Lodge Republicans to --v thc treaty unacceptable to the ad m.nietnUon Democrats, then voted with the administration Democrats to reject the treaty that they kad helped to mutilate with that definite object In view. In so far as the action of the sen ate is a victory for anybody, It la a victory for Senator Borah and the Irreconcilable Republican Senators who have followed hit leadership. They havv held the balance of power In both partias. It was their votes that enabled Senator Lodge to re tain the reservations that the admin istration Democrats rejected, and It was their votes that finally prevented the ratification of the treaty that they had assisted In mangling. In tsiusshaos the treaty-making power of the United States is in operative. The govtmment of the 'United States could win a great war; it could negotiate a great peaca; but It it incapable of ratifying any kind of pears, because the aenatc Is un able to perform Its constitutional functions There have been humiliating epi sodes in the history of the United States, bat nothing else that was quite so humiliating as this; nothing else that to sharply challenged the capacity of the American people for self-government; nothing else that ho ■w«c pin ply indicted their national self respect and their seqsa of re sponsibility. On the whole, the rec ords of the venetc since the treaty of Versailles was formally submit ted by President Wilton, July 10, lOlil, constitute the most mortifying ehaptsr in American history.

JUSTICE FOR THE TEACHERS The niggardly pulley wc have fol lowed in dealing with our teachers both in the city and country institu tions of looming, is going to bring about a eery serious condition un less are sec a new light and change that policy promptly. As heretofore noted, the ebortags of teachers is becoming alarming Many schools have been closed In the country, and the children are depriv •d of the pricpless right of aocurini en education. President Pearson, o' the Iowa Agricultural College, re porta that in 1919 eighty-four mem bers of the faculty of that instito lion resigned to go into rummcrcla work or farming, or Into educations (hem and inquire into the educations opportunities their own childrei work in olhir place:, where the rate of pay i« higher That means a change of twenty-five per cent of the ‘»*ukf *" on*'year. That is very bad. Tnc tight sort of work can not be carried on in a great institution with ruch a laryt anneal shift in the faculty Commercial enterprises of all kinds art reaching into the col legia and universities and taking out the very men who ought to be kept thera to instruct our yoong people. Moat of them prefer to stay In edu cational work, but in justice to them, achrca and their families they can not afford to do it when they nr* obliged to skimp along and practice tbs most grinding economy. Aj population increases, hand-work becomes more and mote Important relatively. It U a crime against the vouth of our land to deprive them of opportunities to secure an education. 11 ia n crime to deprive them of In spirational teachers; for education that ia really worth while consults nol so much In what one learns out of books as In acquiring an appetite fur learning and in learning how to learn.

ALL THAT M LETT IS REGRET. _ "I **, tery sorry,” 11 Prnldtnt Taft told t Daily News reporter when he waa informed of the result of the treaty fight. “It eeems Co me that that ia all there is to •ay.’* The more one considers It. the Bore appropriate the remark of the former President appear*. After all, what can a man who lores his conotry better than hit party say, except that ha la vary sorry? The thing is done The wioek is com plete. Neither lamentation nor im precation will restore the rein. The vision is gone, tha Ugh aspiration la overthrown, the groat ideal Use proa trale ia tha dust; sll that Is left to os U rsgret But it aiey not be unprofitable to consider even now the causes and development of this, the most gi pent** failure since the foundation °.f ‘V '•Pob*Jc Per la the last nn aljrxis, it Is the failure of the people of the United States. They design cd and eat up this government. It U their creature, its fault* are their faults, its shortcoming* their short comings, its failures thsir failure* It waa by their choice bi the fall of IM* Uut the power was dtvidad, and the government rendered Im potent to men the greatest crisis In ita history. . The defeat of ths pence treaty la the outcome of the old quarrel that has existed over sires 1?»8 between the executive and the l«*l*Uirve. Be ginning with Georgr Washington, ths sooste has bean profoundly jeal ous of every man who has held the .••residential chair, and every Preei dent hes held the senate in a certain degree of contempt, ontepohen In the cares of Washington. Jackson and Eooeevelt. quiutcsl In the case of Lincoln, impotently furious In the car* of Johnson, froeiingly si lent la the ease of Wileon. But al ways tha quarrel has existed, and as long as ths power la divided, it aL war* will exit. • |— — uai; wm ucnaicu ■ VI no iu«m o« earth except that the waste feared that ft would increase the power of the President to ths do. fiM that the senate would have no control whatever over him. Of course., it was a case of mistaking relative values on the waste's part The treaty represented the greatest forward stride in political science since Rannymede. The writing of that treaty waa made poesihle only by the war. It vu purchased at the price of such egosy as Rnds no par allel In tho history of mankind. And tho senate has destroyed our part of It merely to yrsagn lu own power unimpaired. Well—we elected that senate. Ap parently that u the kiad of a senate wn shall always elect. The senate is! hopeless, because It honestly believes that It has achieved o great thing for ths American people, and ths more It 1* emailed, the more firmly will it bo convinced that it is under going martyrdom for Its faith. On the other hand, there hi the President who srroto the treaty_ one of the most prodigious statesmen wo have sect produced, but a most confoundedly uncomfortable person to Uvc with. Had ha been gifted ffrness. in all probability sorer have been able to write tho treaty, because at Paris it was diamond eat diamond. Tbe hardest specimen cut the largest fig ure, and "Woodrow Wilson" is writ ten all over Us document He b elected for four years. Senators arc doeted for six. Consequently, the people can correct neither, and they are at liberty to fight H oat, regard less of what happens to Ihs country Enough has sdresdr happened to show us how fatal is the policy of di riding the power and patting tho two halves into tho hands of necessarily antagonistic elements. Ths antag onism arises aat of the very nature of the caw. We cannot abolish that. There are only two possible alternatives, if we are to restore preec—to abolish the President, or to abolish tho senate- . Wc had. in effect, the tatter condition up to Ne Uli. Tho senate counted for nothing. The President was everything. Bat the people revolted against that condition in that month, and resurrected the senate; but they could not touch the Preaidont. be eauw thov had. themselves, nut him beyood their reach by starting him for four years If they bad had the wisdom to provide that whan they vetod lack of confdcnco in him tho Prasideiit *u£ bow to their w&l, there would have boon no treukls.
