WHAT ARE THEY THINKING OF?

No one familiar with the facts will tax the Washington Post with undue friendliness to the present national administration. When, therefore, this paper propounds a pertinent question to the Republican congress, it is likely to be heard with respect even if the answer is not immediate and satisfactory. “One of the first duties of congress is to put teeth into the laws which will enable the executive to grasp and throttle radicalism, expel or imprison anarchists, exterminate preachers of violence, exclude dangerous 4 aliens and generally . to clean America’s house,” says the Post. “What is congress thinking of, that it should delay in this matter?” the paper asks. Then the editorial indicates one or both of the causes in its next question. “Is it lacking in individual or committee initiative or courage?” Attorney General Palmer has repeatedly pointed out to the Republican leaders of congress that additional legislation is needed to

authorize bls department to deal with radicals and “reds.” When once the task has been properly sanctioned by law there remains the need of money to enforce the statutes. Congress has refused both the authority and the funds.

WOMAN REFUSES POST

Miss Mabel Choate of New York city, daughter of Joseph H. Choate, former ambassador to Great Britain and a prominent Republican leader, was recently invited by Chairman \vill H. Hays of the Republican national committee to become a member of the ways and means committee for New York city. She declined the invitation and made public through the New York Times her reply to Mr. Hays. In it she said: “I am mot willing to identify myself at the present moment with the Republican party which has taken the grave responsibility of killing the peace treaty under the ignoble leadership of Mr. LodgeThe league of nations is the one great moral result of the war, and I do not believe the United States will stand for its defeat.”

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Truman H. Newberry, charged with complicity in “conspiracy, fraud ana corruption,” in connection with his election as United States senator from- Michigan, is still in the senate, and continues to constitute one of the Republican majority of two in that branch of Congress. He votes and otherwise participates in the proceedings of the senate, giving no sign that in thus exercising senatorial powers and prerogatives he is violating both precedent and propriety. President Wilson gave the Republican senators a convincing proof that he was quite well enough to manage the executive affairs of the government. It is the senate that seems to be unable to function. Let “Doctor” Moses decide whether it is illness or incompetence that afflicts his Republican associates. Republicans are uneasy at the president’s calmness about the treaty. They have' a burden on their shoulders and must carry it even though it galls them. The

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT £

case is all the worse with them because there' are no really big, strong men in their number. Senator Fall and his Republican associates who want to conduct the government without the assistance of the executive branch are getting some valuable lessons in constitutional law—and the country is having a little entertainment at the same time. Republican papers are asserting now that the ratification of the treaty with Germany cannot be an issue in the next campaign. Do these organs think Republican senators kill an Issue as readily as they killed the treaty? Business men have been told that the Republican party is their best friend and helper. But the defeat of the treaty was a hindrance both to business and peace. Fraud, conspiracy and corruption as means of carrying elections are not nearly so popular with grand juries as they were last year with certain statesmen. The president demonstrated in a hurry that he is still strong enough to put the senatorial partisans in a hole. In any event, the Republican bosses of congress have made a separate peace with the pro-Germans.
