Jir.r 11. 1019 THE CHARTER VICTORY rnHE thanks of every believer in clean - city government are due to thoo members of the Citizens' Committer on Chartei Revision whose conscientious, painstaking and exhausting labors were unselfishly contributed to the drafting of the bills which have now weatheicd the. attacks of a stoimy passage at Harris burg. They can congratulate themselves upon having done a haul job and done it well and faithfu ly. The lesult is a victoiy for honesty and decency in every sense of the word. Although not eveiything is obtained that the members might wish, every es sential for th" beginnm," of a new period In municipal transactions has been ac complished, and theie is ample reason to predict n decided improvement in the control of the city administration pro vided and this is most important of all the voters of Philadelphia do their duty at the polls as well in the rrcu'wuixtt performed their self-appointed tusks. Unfit or crooked officials can undo all the gains that have been made. The best laws ever devised can be circumvented by men determined to serve dishonest pui poses. It is up to every voter who wants to keep down graft in the city government to back up the new chaiter with his ballot. ., CONGRESSIONAL HUSTLE LITTLE jobs like unscrambling 1 railroads and wires, revising the tht tax laws, fashioning a budget and making peace with Germany can hardly be ex pected to monopolize congiessional time. Intervals of leisure have, however, been energetically avoided. Of the C000 bills introduced since the Sixty-sixth Congress opened, one-third have been devoted to the same genera! theme. The disposition of war lelics is the prime concern of all these measures, and many are the towns, villages, ham lets and crossroads which aie indulging in anticipatory thrills over trophies em blematic of our military victory. Some of the requests are modest, as, for instance, that of the congressman asking for only one "small cannon" for each of the eight tovm in his district. Others arc more exacting and urge the delivery of "sets of projectiles" or a "suitable number of shells." The Ohio representative who wants "cannon balls" fixes a different standard, evincing a knowledge of history, but not of the con temporary variety. ,It would be a pleasing act of sentiment could all these requests be filled. Never theless, it is probable that Senator Wads worth's plan, authorizing the secretary of war to dispose of the captuied German ordnance in an equitable manner, will be adopted. But the 2000 bills introduced were not really in vain. They furnished a season of legislative exercise. Perish the thought of an idle Congress! THUMBS DOWN! "NTOBODY need mouin for the death A" of the so-called Metropolitan Police Commission bill at Harrisburg save those who hoped to use it for selfish advantage. The enactment of this measuie would have been a decided step backward and Would not have accomplished anything except sooner or later to plunge the Police Department deeper into partisan politics.

COUNSELS OF FOLLY ON THE PEACE TREATY The Knox Resolution Contains tjje Mad dest and Most Pernicious Propo sitions Yet Made NO MORE astounding propositions were ever made in a time of grave international ciisis than are contained in the Knox resolution offeied in the Sen ate within two or three hours al'UT the appearance of the Congress ion.il Uecoid ycsteiday morning containing the tun text of the peace treaty in the form in which it was submitted to Germany. The resolution is anpaiently intended as a complete repudiation of the course of the President in Paris. It disputes the constitutional power of the Senate to ratify any such tieaty as the President has assisted in negotiating. And it chaigis that the tiraty "contains principle-, guarantees and undertakings ob litcintive of legitimate race and national aspiratu :. oppie-.sivt of weak nations and people- and destiuctive of human piogiess and libeity." In Senator Knn's eagerness to smite I lie President lie has delivered a blow at the hnncst) of puipcs? of every one of the Allied nations which has participated in framing the treatv. He charges France and Gieat Britain, Italy and Japan, by implication, with consenting to principles opptcssive of weak nation- -and destiuc tive of human piogie-s and liberty. This is a grave chaise to be made by a former societal y of state, who is one of the leaders of the partv in power in the legislature of one of the nations en gaged in making peace. It matters not whether the Senate adopts or 1 ejects the lesolution when it comes to a vote. The mischief has been done 1 its introduc tion and publication. It gives aid and comfort to Germany, which has been quick to take advantage of everj differ ence of opinion among the peace dele gates of which it could leain. It will htiffen the backbone of Count von Brock-doiff-Rantzau and his colleagues, who aie to be told that they must fign the treaty within a few days. It will weaken the power of the President in Paris through its announcement to the whole world that the leaders of the Senate majortv do not accept him as the spoktsman for Amer ica. We say "tho leaders," because it is incredible that Senator Knox should have offeied his leso'ittion without tho knowl edge and consent of his associates. While professing to desire tho peace of the woild and the early agreement on the tieaty, Senator Knox seems to have acted without any sense of responsibility for the consequences of his course, and to bo seeking partisan advantage no matter at what cost. It is most unfoitunato and is to be regretted by every American who cares more foi the equitable settlement of the problem of peace than he docs for putting the leaders of any political party in a hole. After announcing that Congiess de olaied war upon Germany and pledged the lesouices of the country to bring the conflict to a successful termination, the resolution declares that the Senate, "being a coequal part of the treaty making power," is gravely impressed by the fact that the provisions of the treaty "appear calculated to force upon us un desirable and far-reaching covenants inimical to our free institutions," and that if it fails to accept these our co belligerents may be at peace while we shall be at war. This is aimed at the league-of-nation.- tcction of the treaty and it begs the whole question by assum ing that it is admitted that the league would be inimical to our fiee institutions. The third paragraph in the preamble goes even farther by denouncing the treatment accorded to the little peoples as oppressive and destructive of human progiets, as quoted above. If the treaty1 is as bad as all this, then its ratification should not be considered at all, either with or without the Ieaguc-of-nations section in it. But we all know that a serious at tempt has been made by all the delegates to protect the little peoples and to insure the independence and autonomy of the small nations. The Poles and the Czecho slovaks and the Serbians are under no delusion about what has been done for them. Their leaders are piofessing grati tude for the opportunity which the treaty guarantees to them to live their own life in their own way. They are certainly as good witnesses as could be found to testify on this matter. The first section of the resolution an nounces that tho Senate will legard as adequate to our national "needs a treaty "which shall assure to the United States and its people the attainment of those ends for which vve entered the war," but nothing is said about what those ends were; whether they were to make the world, including the United States, safe for democracy, or whether they were merely to secure a military victory over Germany, to be followed by a renewal of the commercial treaties which the break ing out of war nullified. Then it i3 resolved that the constitu tion cannot be amended by a treaty and that the Senate ennnot consent to any treaty which would change the constitu tion. This is mere flubdub. There is nothing in the treaty which trespasses in any way upon the consti tutional functjons of Congress. Particu lar pains have been taken to respect the constitutional limitations placed upon the President and upon Congress. There are some lawyers who say that the effort has not been successful; but equally good lawyers insist that we are asked to do nothing which would interfere with our sovereignty to any greater extent than it is interfered with by every treaty ""' whlcJi we mae with another power. Tbethtfd sfekm ak that the league of-natlons covenant be separated from tho rest of the treaty so that it may be acted upon separately and at leisure, in order that the remainder of the treaty may be ratified at once. But does Sena tor Knox favor ratifying a treaty which "oppresses littlo peoples" and is "sub versive of human progress and liberty"? The separation of the league section would involve rewriting the whole docu ment, for tho league is to enforce the provisions of the treaty. It is interwoven with the whole fabric of the structure. If its provisions for the little nations are so abhorrent they must be entiicly recast. The fourth section announces, in effect, that the Senate is prepared to ratify a peace treaty at an early date if the Peace Conference will separate the league pro visions from the rest. The last section piomises that in- cajie the peace of Europe is again threatened tho United States will "regard such a situation with grave concern as a menace to its own peace and freedom," nnd will consult with other povvers with a view to devising means for the removal of the menace. This is a promise to join in improvising a league of nations in a specific crisis after the crisis has arisen and admits the necessity for international co-operation against which it is professing to protest. If the Senate should adopt this resolu tion the United State.- would be dis graced before all the world. And we would have no valid grievance if the Peace Conference should ignore the American delegates and make such a tieaty with Germany as it saw fit, leav ing us to get out of the mess into which we had precipitated ourselves by the best way possible. But even if the resolution should not pass its intioduction will make the task of agreement with Germany much more difficult and will without doubt delay that consummation for which we are all de voutly hoping. Have Messrs. Lodge, Knox and Borah gone mad ? A LEGISLATIVE SENTENCE pASSAGE of the bill ousting tho Per x sonal Registration Commission at the discretion of Governor Sproul is in tho nature of a legislative judgment and sen tence on the members of that body for failure in the peiformance of duty. That the sentence is justified is made clear by the censure of the local Court of Common Pleas and the state Supreme Court, which vigorously condemned the body for disfranchising voters illegally. It is regrettable that there should be need of anything smacking of "ripper" legislation because of the bad precedent it establishes. A bette,- course would have been for the Governor to call the mem bers befoie him for a hearing on the charges and then follow it with the re moval of those he deemed guilty of mis feasance. But lack of time seems to have made this course impracticable. The responsibility of selecting men who thall unwaveringly protect the rights of every voter now falls upon Gov ernor Sproul, and with the present ex ample before him there is no doubt he will take care to play no factional favorites.

The start on the Indian appropriation bill nnd the agri cultural bill was not fnvorable, since each bill carried slightly Incrcnsed appropriations over the bills prepared by the Hemocrnts which failed In tho Senate. But there was some excuse for these two hills because of the Republicans' desire to get them out of the way to tnkc up the linger appropriation bills for the army nnd nnv.v The Democrats) . iuxlsted that the Republicans hnd accepted these measures about ns the Democrats framed them, but the Republicans retorted thnt they had only until the HOth of June to get all appropriation bills through or be com pelled to resort to the Demncintie method of extending the preceding j ear's appropria tions into the new year. This, with the army and unvy bills, would carry war ap propriations into pence time". The Repub licans insisted that if Mr. WiNon hnd called Congress into extra session cm the C7t.lt of March, rather than hold up the session until the I nth of May, the situation would have been different. Then there would have been time to go into the bills more eniefully. Moreover, they Insisted that the Democrats had not made up their committees for n whole week after the Republicans had c'om plctc'd theirs, thus delating hearings nnd otherwise forcing hasty consideration of the ntitinc bills above referred to It is evident that a good deal of Democratic jocKejing is to be done before the November elections.

Camp Monde, Maryland, n popular worker among the bojs, has attained the un usual distinction of a major's rank for tho duration of the wnr. Mnjor Scott, like his comrades of the cloth, has been pretty well around the circle. As it used to be in the Methodist Church, the chaplains are itin erant.
