The Peace Treaty is a puzzling thing td most of us. On account of the long fight made on it in the senate and the many parlianientary proceedings con nected with its consideration, many of us have been hard Put to keep a line on it. At least we know that the treaty which was voted on last week and which both South Carolina sena tors opposed was not the treaty which P res ident Wilson finally secured af ter a hard fight in Paris. The original treaty had failed of passage before and the treaty of last week contained the reservations of the "mild ropublicans" mild enough. according to the presi dent. to rob it of its :greatest value and] too mild for the irreconcilable repimb licans who bitterly opposed the whole peace fabric. While not voting togeth er, the straight-out supp orters of the original treaty and its irreconcila ble foes commanded enough vot(s te bring about its fourth defeat. lad the dlemocrats agreed to its passage with the i mild reservations, the matter 'would have been practically closed and the main object of the war, so far as America was concerned, would have been lost. The president may be idealistic in his theories for world peace, but Ideal ists often come to be looked upon in after years as far-sighted statesmen. The president's peace idea is idealistic in that it is above the plane of peace pacts formerly formulated-when vic tors secured the sils, but the presi dent, with the millions of people who no longer are subject to military castes, takes a diffe;-nt view of the rights of all nations, large and small, and would lend this government's aid in making a righteots settlement of the world's troubles 1without regard for spoils. The plan may not work, but it is worth trying. Nothing has ever been lost by' trying. It is no longer possible for the United S'tates to maintain an attitude of dlisinterestedness in world affair.

The pmthllc Is cotnilyn inved TCEATY RETURNED TO PRESIDENT AGAIN (Continued 14rom Page One.) the administration could not afford to carry the issue as it presented itself today into the campaign. There was no reply from those who opposed rat ification. Irreconcilables and admin istration democrats alike remained si lent in the confidence that they were In complete control of the situation. After the roll call, the mild reser vation republicans joined with the democrats to set the parliamentary stage for a reconsideration that -would permit another vote ratification, but the effort soon was abandoned. Com promise democrats advised the repub licans that they thought it futile to ti. to change seven more democratic votes. The motion to reconsider, made by Senator Robinson, democrat, Ark ansas, finally was thrown out on a point of orler and no appeal was tak en. The lineup of the entire senate to day was 57 for ratification to 39 against, including members paired. Four months ago the total alignment was 42 for ratification and 53 against with one seat vacant. Eighteen democrats changed from their position of November 19th. Sev enteen who then voted againnst rat ification favored it today, while one, Senator Shields. of Tennessee, who voted for ratification November 19th and sioce become known as an "ir reconellable," todav voted against rat ifying. Of the democrats -who switched to su)iort the treaty, 15 voted for rat ification and two additional, Sena tors herry of Rhode Island. and .Jones of New Mexico, paired for ratifleation. The 15 were: Ashurst, ;Ueckman, Chamberlain, Fletcher, Henderson, Kendrick, Kink, Nugent, Phelan, Pittman, Ran sdell, Smith (.\laryland), Trammell, Walsh, 0Montana), and Wolsott. In the republican ranks, the "irre consilables" gained but one new ad herent, Senator -Penrose of Pennsyl vania, who voted for ratiflcation four months ago but today was paired as an opponent of the treaty. Twelve re publieans "bitterenders"-Horah, Fer nald, Brandegee, France, Gronna, Johnson (California), Know, LaFol lette, McCormack, Moses, Norris and Sherman-Tbted today, as they did four months ago, against ratifleation. while three others, Penrose, Fall of New Mexico and Poindexter, were paired today in opposition. On No vember 19th, Senator Poindexter 'vot ed in opposition while Senator Fall "vas not present but his opposition was announced. MICKIE SAYS \Nv VL A,,W V-mSSQ 6 %.
