The New York Timea makes this comment: "President Roosevelt attempts to support by weak arguments a position untenable in law; to i set aside the Constitution for the furtherance of a policy: to force his views and his will upon the Senate of the United a body of which many members, Republicans' and have confidence neither in his prudence nor his judgment, who 'welcome the opportunity, presented by the dispute over the arbitration treaties to rebuke his usurping tendencies, and who, whatever he may be compelled to do, will never retreat, because they cannot 'without doing violence to the Conststution and their consciences. ratification of the treaties as amended by a vote of 50 to 9. In the face of. the Presi dent's letter to Senator Cullom threatening to abandon them if amended, is the Senate's notice to Mr. Roosevelt that: his arrogance has not been unobserved and will be no longer tolerated.

"We believe the Senate has full Constitutional warrant for' its posi tion. An international 'agreement' is a treaty, and as such must be sub mitted for ratification to the Senate. The President refers to the Pious Fund arbitration with Mexico. That dispute was submitted to The Hague Court by an i Ex ecutive 'agreement' never ratified by the Senate. If Mexico had been advised to dispute the award on the ground that the President's "agreement" was void without the Senate's ratification the court would I have been obliged to inquire into the nature of our treaty-making power, and might have ordered a resubmis sion of the case by treaty duly rati fled.

Article XLVIII of the con vention declares: "The Tribunal Is authorized to determine its own jurisdiction by interpreting the agreement of arbitration or other treaties which may be quoted in point." The words "agreement of arbitration or other treaties' are significant. At The Hague; they appear to have believed that agreement and treaty are two names for the same thine." It must not be forgotten that our constitution has been Ignored or, overlooked in certain cases do not nullify the constitution. That is all the more reason why the constitution should be safe-guarded from such Insidious precedents. We are for the consti tution, with all due respect to Pre ident Roosevelt.

When questioned about the character of the woman who is Mr. Dnke's wife Mr. Bramham said that she was a bad woman but that her character had been painted much worse than she really is. He said that this was done by some other people than Mr.

R. Tj. Dnke and his advisers. He said that he saw the woman a few days ago in the face of the attorneys for Mr. Duke.

That she came in there to inauire after "Sher said to me," said Bramham; "that she supposed he was where she could not see. him. Mr. Bramham told her, but asked if there was any message to send. Only this, she said: "Tell him that I will not not object to or fight any divorce proceedings that he may institute and i that I am ready to sign any papers that will give him release if he desires it."

The close was steady at a net avance of six to ten points, or about four to five points up from the lowest. Sales were estimated at 60,000 bales. Business was restricted to a consider, able extent by wire trouble iwiih the South where very low temperatures and some snow storms were reported. The forecast appears to be for better weather but It Is hardly believed that the movemont can be resumed on a much more liberal basis until there have been several days of more favor able conditions.

Feb. 15. THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE. i Tfae situation at Washington is one fall of Interest, even if it is one that brings regret to the American people. It is indeed a grate matter when a President of the United States and the Senate practically as a unit are so far apart in their construction of the constitution as to the.

joint treaty-making power of the executive and he That is not all. The Senate has not only called analt on the President in his assumption that he can dictate to the Senate what its advice and con-seat shall be in the making of treaties, but there is the resolution of Senator Bacon calling for an investigation of the President's 1 plain usurpation of authority in taking under Federal control the customs houses of a foreign country, placing In -charge thereof United: States officials, and pledging this country to a protectorate over Santo Domineo. Still there is another element in the situation in the re port of the Senate! Judiciary Com' mittee prepared by Senator Spooner declaring that the! President has no right to declare a constructive re cess of Congress or the Senate or appoint offlo'als as of that recess. If previous to that the Congress had declared the President's acta in Panama were ultra viresit would havedonerlght from the fact that he did not land forces to preserve oi der on the isthmus under treaty rights with I Colombia but did land troops and drove out the forces of the sovereign power of Colombia thus preventing them from j' restoring order and preventing the successful rebellion of one of her States. He may have acted tinder treaty rights in landing forces to preserve order but he made a breach International comity in his actions of toward a friendly Republic.

He failed to carry out! pur part of the treaty to guarantee Colombia's sov ereignty over Panama but prevent-ed the Bister Republic from asserting her own sovereignty with troops 'already on hand to do so. There are also other. breaches of national comity in that transactions; but let it all pass: to get closer to 'home with the more serious usurpa- tory acts of the President. The controversy between the President and the; Senate over the rizht of the Senate to amend the arbitration treaties is the one thing which now attracts attention not 'only in this country but in Europe, lln this connection the London i spectator mases ine iouowing od- jservation: I The power of the Senate in foreign affairs is too great or too little, lit should either be deprived of) the power of veto in the matter of treaties or else be regarded as the treaty imaking power, with whom ambaa-jsadors should deal directly and to whom they should even be jointly i accredited. It is useless to carry lout delicate negotiations with the 'Executive if they are to be immediately vetoed by the Senate.

Imagine a business house conducted son similar lines." f- iwm 1 If WW v. I. WW if the Spectator writer does not, that from the very nature of our gov-i eminent the people retained sov- jUAdiuvj iu vuoiuaei va csa iignuiov the monarchical idea of Europe, or one-man power, if you please. The constitution therefore gives the executive and Senate joint power in committing the United States in matters of such grave Import to the people. The Baltimore Sun truly says: i "The- Spectator doesn't pause to consider that the treaty-making powers of the President and of the Senate are defined in the Constitution.

Before the Senate can be deprived of its veto it would be necessary to amend the Constitution A little foreign irony, at the expense of Senators is not resented on this side of the Atlantic. Still the irony would be more effective if those who Indulge in It would take the trouble before launching their shafts to absorb a certain amount of elementary knowledge about American institutions. "It is useless," says our London- contemporary, "to carry out delicate negotiations with the Executive if they are to be immediately vetoed by the Senate." In the foreign view this must be exasperating. Even in the American -view it Is -not. always to be approved.

Bnt the earnest, patriotic, and able men who framed! the Constitution believed this government should be a system of checks and balances. They gave the Executive certain powers and they gave the Congress certain powers, They empowered the Executive to make treaties with the advice and consent of the Senate, and these treaties, when ratified by the. Senate, become the law of the land. Perhaps this is a bad system IntheEnropean view, but so 'lone as- the uonstitu iion stands as it is the Senate must be recko fed With sa a co-ordinate part of the treaty-making power, 41 tne American -people can; be per- suaaea into me belief that the JSx- ecutive ought to have a free hand in making treaties they will perhaps oniorm ineir system to 4 toe jsaro rem model." --LrS. -i" i The people of, the United States those provisions la the con ttltztlia are wise.
