PCT MONTPELIER ON HAP entertainment accorded them, \ the free advertising they will give the city will redound to its benefit. ' CLÂHH,^OR COALESCENCE ? 1 With the return of the President to the United States, the Treaty of Peace which he as chief delegate from this government has been In strumental in framing, passes tech nically from his hands Into those of the United States Senate. He has exercised the power conferred upon him by the Constitution to "make" the treaty; it now becomes the pre rogative of the upper house of Con gress, two-thirds of the members present concurring, to indicate its "advice and consent" in the matter of ratification. No matter how per fect or popular the document may be, It cannot be made effective, so fir as this country is concerned, until the senate has acted upon it. Thus far Mr. Wilson has acted in the matter without much regard to the co-ordinate branch of the gov ernment, but he cannot afford to pur sue that policy of aloofness any longer. He now has the opportunity and has Indeed direct occasion, to display at home some of the qualities of conciliation and tact which he Is admitted to have conspicuously dem onstrated at Versailles. He cannot expect that the present majority in Congress will scan his work with an always fond and uncritical eye. He must be prepared for some manifes tation of that resentment which Is not unnaturally felt by many Sena tors because of the feeling that where their advice and consent might prop erly have been sought, they have been deliberately Ignored. He must recognize that their responsibility now becomes as great as his, and he. must also be fair enough to credit them with a patriotism as sincere, and perhaps a sagacity as profound, as his own. The important question then Is, how will the President approach the Senate, and in what terms and spirit will he, in laying before them the result of his labor, ask for their ap proval of it? If is easily within his power, by taking a broad, high minded course, to conciliate and Bmooth and satisfy a more than suf ficient number of the Senators to carry hte treaty through the stormy waters which Its out-and-out ene mies are preparing to deluge It withal. On the other hand, a display of impatience with the legislative branch of the government, a reserved standlng-apart from them, an Imper ious demand that the work of his hands be accepted exactly as he pre sents it, without any of the Interpre tations or reservations which many experienced statesmen feel will help { and not harm the treaty and which certainly will not constitute a re jection of lt may easily create an Impasse be tween the White House and the Cap itol that would be regrettable and disastrous. By taking the former course, the best opinion Is that the President can secure an early rati fication of the Treaty with the Lea gue of Nations covenant Included. By taking the latter course, there is the certainty of long delay, and even the grave possibility of such changes and amendments as shall amount to a practical rejection of the Treaty in its present form.—Deseret News. display of this spirit WAR HERO HAS ARM BROKEN WHEN THROWN FROM HORSE Wm. Harris of Pocatello, was brought to the Montpelier hospital last Saturday morning with both bones of his left forearm broken.
