WILSON IS FENCING FOR ADVANTAGE ON THE TREATY The President's Effort to Jockey the Republican Party Into a False Position Likely to Defeat Itself IT, IS becoming iucrcasingl) evident that the President is doing his best to joek-ci llie Itepublicnn pnrty Into a position of irreconcilable hostility to the pence treutj in order Mint ho nitty claim for his own party the distinction of being its onl friend. I Its methods do greater credit to his political persistence than to his judg ment either ns a parly manager or us a friend of the League of Nations. A man skilled in diplomacy would not have written the IcHer which President WiKon disputclifd l the chuirmnti nf tin Oregon county Democratic commit tee last Suudn.i. He would have known that the treaty enimot be ratified by the votes of the senators of one. party alone, nud that It must hnve the sup port of members' of both parties. Yet the President writes: "Let us prove to our late associates in the war thnt ut nny rate the great majority party of the nation, the party which expresses the true hopes and purposes of the people of the countrj. intends to keep faith Iwitli them in peace ns well as in war." Mr. Wilson is nuikitif: the snine mis take here which he made just befoie the November election in lSMt. when In1 called upon the countrj to elect u Democratic Congress because the He-' publicans could not be trusted to pass the necossarj laws for a successful prosecution of the wnr. Thrit blunder iimtle ccriimi the elertion or a Iti-nul lican flouse of Representatives, which was uncertain until the pre-election proclamation was issued. Not onl.i does his lettej to the county chairman in Oregon repent the mistake lu tactics ot the liu.s proclamation, but it is based on u false assumption of the facts. In the first plncp, the Democratic parly is not "the great mujority pnrtj of the nation. And in the second place the Deum- cm tic party is more widely split on the treat j thnn is the Itepublicnn party An analysis of the vote on rntlticn tion shows this. Of the forty-nine otes east in favor of ratificntion with the Lodge resomitions tcut -one were cast by Democratic senators nnd twenty-eight by Republican senators. And of the thlrtj -live otes cast against ratification twelve were by Republicans lnnd ' twentv -three bj Democrat. Counting the senators paired and not voting the Democratic strength in the .Senate stood lwent. -three for Ijn treat with (he Lodge reservations and , tw cut -four against it. while the Re- the United States and Kurope, where publican strength stood thirtj -tour for j the.v received the inspiration that made the trAtj nnd fifteen against it.

The President's mind seems incapa , me- hi filiation or concession or compromise. And because of it the United States is suffering under Ihe accusation of unwillingness to plaj the game through to the last hole. We doubt whether Mr. Wllnn can suit I in forcing the Republican pm into the position which he wishes it to oectip) lu tlie piesidentlnl'iinipnign for the renson that it is a po-dtlon vvhiil, is abhortent lo a mujority of the Re publican voters, hn well ns tn mine than two to one of the Republican senators .Mr. Hoover, in discussing the trrnfy situation, put his linger on the vital issue when he caid that "the flrulikiuik te-.j,.n.wJ t-S---. - Jbi ViliJlJH N 'JtfUJiJLdU OiJl?l!HEJK-pjp: in an office of constructive .leadership." lie wns referring, It Is true, to the fit ness of Senator Johnson for the office, and demanding of him whctlicr he would iilcdgc hinlxclf to the support of a league nf nations for the promotion of world peace, but ho might as well hnvo put the same nuesllon to President Wilson. The President today Is not lu the position of n leader attempting to put himself nt the hend of the nation to enrry out Its undoubted' wish. He Is nctlng the role of it driver who tries to force the nation to follow the course thnt he himself has marked out, whether It will or not. Results nrc not accomplished In that way. j lt he enn drive his own party into the position thnt he wishes It to take, that Is nil he can nccomplish. nnd If he succeeds In committing it irrevocably to opposition to rrservnlions nud In-. terpretntions he will have efrcctunll killed the trenty beyond hope of resur rection.

Thej are nnd have been for 'generations n unit ngniust the lurid bnrons, who maintain in the country n stnte of op pressive' fcudnlism unknown elsewhere since the liberation of vthe serfs in Russia. Until very recently, it was not difficult to find in Mexico "ranches" of 100,000 ncrcs owned by men who lived nbroad nnd left the car-of their estates to overseers. Such lnnd wns parceled out by enrly invaders or distributed among the favorites of succeeding dic tators. Uuder'thc system derlsed by Diaz the great landholders came to depend largely on forced lnbor. To Insure the cmitinunnce of small standing nrmies of workers, the cpntrnct sjstetn of labor wns developed with the nssistnnco nnd co-operation of tyrnnnlcnl stnte gov ernors. Peons worked for nbotit twenty cents n da. They were employed under contract. Naturally they run into debt, and a man who unit work before his debts were paid became a criminal to be hunted down by the police. Since most of the tillable lnnd In habitable a reus was controlled by n Small ininor itj no way of escape wns open to the neon. Freedom of the lutid hns been the hope and aini of every good-sized rei oltitioii in Mexico. Revolutionists hnve been betrayed or they, have hoped too greatly or the.v blundered in the wnke of men who deliberately misled them. I tut they return inevitably to u struggle which is inspired by u desire tn relieve the poor nnd propertylcss multitudes from n t i-n 1 brutal system of exploita tion that continued almost unchanged from tlie da!) of Cortez to the das oT Madero. Refoims that began when Diaz wns overthrown li.ive progressed rapidly under vuccceding presidents. It is folly to suppose thnt the revolutionary spirit in Mexico resides only in adventurers. Changes in labor Inws. in governmental policy, in the methods of civil nilinin istrntinu cvcrjwheie have been forced by the jounger generations of educated Mexicans who returned to their own c..uulr.v after observation nnd tud in teased.

A Republican editor in Nebrnskn therenfter sat down anil wrote a smash ing article upon the errors, economic fallacies and dangers of the Democratic declaration nn the tnriff. He proved bejond n doubt that the nation would be ruined if it committed its affairs into the hands of a pmtv "which held such views ns were con tuined in the platform from which he quoted.

Athens wns saved by her nary. Therefotc "wooden walls"-' meant ships. Rul if Alliens had fnllen "wooden walls" would, of course, have meant ineffective defenses. Platform writers haven't- nhv better- iMnsight into the future than 'Delphic priests, pin tney linvo to write some thing which no matter how the cam paign or what happens iu four jenrs, the party's declaration will square with it. The Greek oracles used to cet ni-niind the difficulty by using so few words that no one could be sure" jusl whnt they meant. The plntfnrin writers turn the trick by using so ninny words Mint no one cun be sure just what they mean.
