AS FUTILE AS DISHONORABLE

The Knox-Lodge separate resolution for the “everlasting dishonor” of a separate peace with Germany which passed the Republican Sen■ate by a partisan vote is as futile as Senator Lodge once said such a peace would be dishonorable, because it was known it was unconstitutional and that the President, under oath of office, must veto it. Senators Lodge, Knox and the other Republican leaders responsible for this act of “dishonor” know that peace cannot be made in such a way; they pretended sincerity, but it is only a sham that fails to hide their real purpose, which is to set up a false record, a tricky record, .to be used as a “smoke screen” in the national campaign, to hide from the public their own crime against world peace in defeating ratification of a constitutional treaty, in deserting America’s comrades in arms, in abandoning the liberated peoples of Europe and betraying their own country by their partisan warfare for selfish purposes. Senator Knox agreed to the elimi-

nation from the resolution of the Impudent clause requesting the President to negotiate a new treaty with Germany, because, as he so elegantly expressed it, “he did not want to rub it in on the President." This language -of the gutter expresses a strange consideration on the part of a Senate that once caused one of its emissaries' to invadp the sick room at the White House in an attempt to discover either that the President wasn't ill at all, but had been shamming, or was bodily and mentally too ill to discharge the duties of his office.

“GILLETTISM” IN THE HOUSE

“Gillettism” is the Republican’s dynasty’s newest fad. It is more up to date than “Cannonism,” and goes farther. It is not dissimilar to “Czarism” in the old Russia, or Bismarck's “blood and iron” policy. As applied by the Republican Speaker, from whom it takes its name, at the direction of the Republican “millionaire steering committee,” it is most effectively used in the House of representatives to silence those w r ho would say such things as Speaker Gillett and the “steering committee” do not wish to have said. By the application of “Gillettism," the Speaker, who, though he is but one of the 435 members of the House, may refuse to recognize a gentleman on the floor, regardless of whether it is the will of the other 434 members that the gentleman be heard. “Cannonism,” “Czarism” and “blooa and iron” have all run their evil course and are no more, which ought to be a lesson to the Speaker and the “steering committee,” although, as former Speaker Champ Clark says, a Bourbon forgets nothing — and learns nothing.

The revelations made of the enormous expenditures in the interests of the various Republican candidates for the presidency, made public through the senate investigation that has been going on for the past two weeks, is enough to shame all decent members of that party. While it was generally known that immense sums of money have been used in the past by the Republicans in buying up elections, such charges have never before borne the stamp of undisputed truth through official investigation and sworn testimony.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

It is a disgraceful mess and will give the bolshevik and anti-govern-ment radicals a lot of campaign thunder which they will use to good effect among their bomb-throwers and assassin followers. The Senate Republican majority passed the separate peace resolution and thus left only the President to save the country from the “everlasting dishonor” Senator Lodge said a separate peace would bring upon the country. Such an act is quite in keeping with Chairman Hays’ “we are more Interested in the stomach of our people than the hearts of the world.” It was a fine sense of considertion that prompted Senator Knox to agree to elimination from the “dishonorable” peace resolution of the clause requesting the President to negotiate another peace with Germany. Doubtless the Senator who said the treaty the President negotiated was “too severe on Germany” felt that the President might not be trusted to negotiate a “soft peace.”

From peace with victory on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, to peace with “dishonor” in the American Senate on May 15, 1920, is a far cry, and a cry that only selfish, time-serving politicians who are out to catch the hyphenated vote can hear. If Hiram can help it, there won’t be many “niggers in the woodpile” of delegates at* Chicago. The quadrennial fight over delegates from the “black belt” is always an interesting preliminary to the main bout on the G. O. P. National convention floor. Ho# to head off Hiram and wallop Wood without alienating their followers is the problem that keeps the G. O. P. “Old Guard” bosses lying awake. To Republican Senators, the Constitution is what a peace treaty was to mere “scrap o£ paper.” Not even Senator Lodge can galvanize a separate peace from an “act of dishonor” into respectability.

FILIPINOS WANT AMERICA TO GIVE INDEPENDENCE

Maximo M. Kalaw Declares U. S. Cannot Consistently Refuse “Self-Determination.” By MAXIMO M. KALAW, Secretary of the Philippine Mission, Au-, thor “The Case for the Filipinos,” ‘‘Self-Government In the Philippines," etc. ‘‘When they Vhow sufficient capacity,” “When they are able to govern

and white? Senator Shogun may think no people is capable of self-government that does not establish the judicial recall, or that has no Billy Sunday. John Smith of Somerville may think no people is capable of self-government that does not vote his democratic ticket, or go to church on Sundays. “Capacity for self-government" Is as broad and elastic as the world, and if that should be the Criterion for the granting of Philippine independence, America might as well say to the Filipinos, "I will give you independence when it pleases me to do so.” Fortunately, the American promise to the Philippines Is not based on such obscure and abstract conditions. It is based on a definite seizable thing. When America, through her Congress, officially told the Filipino people that they would be granted their independence as soon as they could establish a stable government, no abstract or obscure condition was meant. Stable government, according to American usage, means a certain, definite thing. The United States promised the Cubans the same thing, that “when they have established a stable government, then American troops would be withdrawn.” As soon as the Cuban people elected a government suited to themselves, capable of maintaining order and fulfilling all international obligations, there was a stable government In Cuba, and American troops were withdrawn.

When Congress passed the Jones law, it simply borrowed the phrase “stable government” from the Cuban history and applied it to the Philippines. The history of Philippine legislation shows that in black and white. With full knowledge of what it meant, the Filipino people accepted the Jones law and immediately began setting up the stable government required by Congress as a pre-requisite to independence. The stable government is now a fact. It Is indeed more than that; it is an undisputed fact. The official representative of the United States in the Philippine Islands, the Governor General, reported to the American Congress and the administration that “the Filipino people have established the stable government demanded by Congress as a pre-requisite for the granting of independence — namely, a government elected by the suffrage of the people, which is supported by the people, which is capable of maintaining order and of fulfilling its international obligations.” The Philippine question is therefore no longer a question of politics, argument or supposition. To the Philippine mind, at least. It is now a question of whether the Uhited States is ready to discharge its own obligations fully and completely. America went before the world in the recent war as the avowed champion of “self-determi-nation” and Filipinos cannot see how America can consistently refuse to act. The Filipino people, however, have no grudge or grievance against the American people. Theirs Is a message of friendship and gratitude. They seek independence as the natural and logical outcome of America’s policy In the islands and of America’s solemn promise to them. They come willing to give privileges and concessions not Incompatible with their national welfare.

The Filipino people are willing to accept independence under any of the following conditions: Under a League of Nations, guaranteeing its territorial Integrity; under the protectorateship of the United States for the first few Xnder a treaty of neutrality Between the United States, England, Japan, France and other powers, or even without any condition whatever —absolute and complete independence. They have no fear of Japan. Philippine independence, in our opinion, is not Inimical to Japanese interests. The Japanese are now free to come to the Philippines, but at the present time there are less than 10,000 Japanese in the Islands. There are six times as many Japanese In California as there are In the entire Philippine Archipelago. The Filipinos are willing to take their chance as a nation. Smaller nations beset by graver problems and dangers have taken a more hazardous chance at freedom, and have succeeded. /

themselves,” “When they are educated enough.” Thus run the answers of many Americans pressed with the question as to when the Filipinos should be granted their independenbe. Now, “ability," “capacity" and "sufficient education" —What do they mean in black

ROBERT AMES BENNET A product of the West and one of that school of writers of whom there are not enough, who treat of their environment as a civilized community, has produced a number of clever novels. Readers will remember his “Into the Primitive,” “The Shogun’s Daughter,” “The Forest Maiden,” “The Quarterbreed” and others which have had a wide circulation. In The Man Who Wasn’t Himself selected for serial reproduction in this paper, you will find a story differing from anything you have read before. It strikes a psychic note, but is not weird. The mystery concerning the “man” will keep you guessing. It deals with cultivated, representative types of the day and is clean, diverting and altogether charming. DON’T MISS IT!
