HIS BITTER HARVEST.

On the whole, it seems probable that the peace treaty will be ratified; yet its acceptance by the senate is in any event problematical and can only be accomplished after a display of domestic antagonism which puts our nation before the world in an unenviable light Other nations present a united front to the world; we present an internal conflict, no doubt inexplicable to any but those initiated in American politics. Whether the treaty will be ratified or not, however, any glory the Wilson administration might have hoped to acquire from it is hopeless'.y dimmed by the hostile Attitude of the senate majority. This, it is fair to assume, is the object aimed at by the republicans. They have so mussed the situation up: so affronted the nations with whom the president had established himself at Paris on terms of friendship and mutual respect; so manipulated the various provisions of the treaty and of the league as to plant m all minds all sorts of sinister and ominous aspects to its almost every part, that any joy there may have been latent in its prompt acceptance has long since departed. All of which, candor compels the admission, is just what the senate has been aiming at. Such is its disposition toward Woodrow Wilson that the humiliation of him and of his administration seems to the sen-, ate as the chief end in sight, rather than any supposed benefits to the United States or to the world from the settlement. For this lamentable effect the responsibility must be apportioned in about equal share between the president and his inveterate foes. The unreasoning and often cruelly unjust procedure of the league’s opponents finds its explanation in the presidential aloofness and antagonism of the past two years. The hope of the country and of the world lies, of course, in prompt acceptance of the treaty by the senate; in the display of common understandings and desires on the part of those who represent the United States in official power* and responsibility. There ought to be co-opera-tion and * united BO

a matter. There would .‘be glory enough for all, if each side w*ere disposed to off er- its part in fair and co-operative spirit, each recognizing equal authority, equal patriotism, and welcoming the right of the ot! er side to credit for the re-

sult. ' If we ask where the first refusal to entertain this reciprocal status of powers and duties obtained, the truth is that it came from the white house itself. Not until the fruits of the council came to be gathered, not till the way of the treaty and of the league seemed best with insuperable obstacles in the senate, did the presidential attitude incline to change from one of supercilious aloofness to one of confidence and mutual respect. We heard a great , deal about co-operatioh and willing-1 ness to discuss and receive counsel; but we saw nothing but the apparent determination that -the - administration itself was supposed to derive all credit for both treaty and league and that there was no choice in the senate but to put the rubber stamp of approval upon all that the president had done. The president flouted the senate, and now the senate flouts the president. After all has been said that may be said and ought to be said about the insufferable insolence and spitefulness and mischievousness of the senate, there remains the undeniable arrogance and aloofness of the president himself at the really crucial time when the treaty was in the process of formation and when the opinion and attitude of the senate w*ere being formed against, the hour of need, _The senate is making a spectacle of itself, but what it is doing is the simplest possible exhibit of human nature. The president doubtless thought he, had put the senate in a hole from which it could not extricate itself but by bowing meekly to the yoke he had deftly presented to * its outstretched .neck. But you csn put a man in a hole so deep that in squirming out hh will splatter you up about as much as he does himself. Every day that passes adds to the humiliation of the president, as he reflects upon what he is getting from the senate and what he had the right to expect, if only he had accorded it the consideration which he expects himself

TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE NOTES.

I The Jasper county teachers’ institute opened Monday morning in the high school of (this city. The corps of instructors consists of H. Elson, professor of history in Thiel college, Warren, Pennsylvania; Edwin B. Evans, professor of English jin Drake college. Des Moines, Iowa; 'and Mrs. Loren B. Sage, of Rensselaer, who kindly consented to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Tindall’s inability to be present for The faculty of the institute promises la very’ interesting session. i Rev. E. W. Strecker, of Trinity IM. E. church, led the institute in 1 devotions by reading from the 12th chapter 'of Romans and with a prayer. Mrs. Sage gave a very short talk on music. . ' Prof. Elson’s lectures during the week will center upon the two great wars—the civil war and the world war, which has closed. His first lecture was an introduction to the week’s work and traced briefly the growth of slavery and the growth of sentiment and action against slavery. Slavery was a benevolent institution when first instituted as a method of saving lives, for captive nations were led into slavery rather than killed, as had been previously the custom. Slavery was the basic cause of the civil war, but the sentiment that led up to the civil war was spread over a great period of time. Lord Mansfield’s decision in the English courts as far back as 1777 was the first step towards the abolition of slavery. The United States was the last civilized nation to throw off slavery because of its form of government?—federal, a recognition of states’ rights. The growth of the Republican party vsas a result of the agitation against slavery and the failure of the Whig party. “ This party wap organized in 1856, and made a huge error in its first choice for a candidate for president, but it proved to be a very fortunate error, for it postponed the inevitable war four years and allowed the north to further prepare itself -and allowed sentiment

to ripen. Mr. Evans gave a rapid fire introductory talk on poetry. Poetry is the balance wheel of civilization and of mental powers. He said that poetry is a red hot idea in a picture dress dancing on a pair of musical feet. All poetry must contain and does contain four elements —an idea, an emotion, an image and rhythm. Whenever man and experience meet and, clasp hands then images result. Imagining is. the projection of personal attributes and parts upon other things; imagining is_ the finding of similarity between things which are wholly unlike. Mr. Evans quoted very freely from many of the great authors and found Shakespeare a fertile field of illustration. , , , Mr. Healiy, of Rensselaer, delivered an address which is reported elsewhere. The piano duet by Miss L. B. Rains and Miss Anna Erwin was thoroughly enjoyed by the institute as was a pianologue—Out to Old Aunt Mary’s—by Miss Helen Erwin. . „ • U Rev. H. Ross Hume, of Springfield, 0., a brother of Mrs. C. Ross Dean, of this city, will address the teachers during the afternoon Wednesday. Rev. Hume was a chaplain in the sth division with the army of occupation in Germany until recently. and it is probable that his talk will be on that phase of his work. The Rev. Hume has accepted a position as an instructor in Monmouth college at Monmouth, 111., and will take up his duties there next week.
