TELEPHONE.' BEEKMAN 2200. I To the Senate of the trnlted Statest In the long and heated discussion fver the League covenant, delving to fts remotest depths to flnd its last hidden meaning and with each side jo the controversy marshalling its forces for a fight to the finish, you feave proceeded on the theory that fou had the right to settle this ques tion for the American people the right to ratify It or to refuse to ratify it. Bo you have this right, techically t the right to do anything with It Jfon like. But have you the moral tight to do anything with it you like? JThe Sun docs not believe you have (his moral right In a situation obvi- ously never considered as possible by '(he framers of the government who feslgnated the powers of the United Itates-Senat- e. A treaty that would peon the surrender of the Indepen- dence of the .American nation to a foreign Power clearly did not comi (rlthln the vision of our forefathers Bad It been so we may well assume lhat the injunction would have been: Take It back to the people for their Seclslon.\ But having fought for Mid won a dearly bought lndepcn fence these nation builders were deaf to voices in the air and dull of sight n the matter of seeing visions on thu uorlzon. This particular brand of treaty, this Wilson league covenant is so extraordinary in 'Its conception, so bold and revolutionary in Its under takings, so viciously that It does not come within tho scopo of problems Intended for the Senate's sole decision. In view of this conclusion It would Indeed be assuming much for you. elected to the United States Senate at a time when this question was not under consideration, In fact had never been heard of, to take It upon your pelves to decide whether wc shall con tlnue to be a free independent nation or whether wc shall surrendpr our sovereignty to a superstate. On a question having to do with ho life or death of the nation, isn't It a matter for the nation Itself to decide by the vote of the people what they wish done with their nation? Convinced that It is the right of the people themselves to decide the fate Of this astounding treaty The Sun Is bound to urge that the present Senate has no moral right either to ratify or to refuse to ratify It. We arc in the throes of an analo- gous situation brought on by the as- sumption of the various State Legis- latures that they had the moral as well as technical right to ratify the Bone Dry Amendment, which they proceeded to do without waiting for the expressed wish of the people of (he notion. Tho question of the dry amendment had not been nn issue nt the time of the election of the Legis- latures In the various Stntes. Conse- quently it is contended, and soundly too, that the legislators of tho States ratifying that amendment went be- yond their moral authority. They had tho technical authority to do What they did do quite as you have technical authority to do with the League treaty as you choose. But in doing as they did they raised the bitter resentment of a ma- jority of our people who claim and rightly claim that they had had no chance to be heard on the Issue claim that the ratifying of tho treaty by Legislatures chosen at a time when the dry amendment was not under consideration was n rank usurpation ! of the rights of tho people. Out this act of usurpation, If it bo such, Is no more offensive to a free peopleto 1 of a democracy than would be the assumption of the United States Senate to ratify or to refuse to ratify tho Wilson League covenant. The business of concluding peace with Germany should be sepa- rated from the League with a broad-ax- e, if there Is no better way, and thus bo disposed of Independently of tho covenant. fortunately, a Presidential election is near at hand, and no tribunal short of the vote of the whole country Is udequato for the decision of a ques- tion of the surpassing, the supreme Importance of this. Therefore, before it gets n strangle hold on tho nation, the covenant should bo, referred to the people of tho j country themselves to decide what they wish done with It, and wc may be sure that their decision would be the decision they wish to have pre- vail, and, better, the right decision. The Voters Spoke to Murphy In Language Ho Understands. The head of the Republican ticket, Major La Guarma, seems to have car- ried the Greater City tho city which gavo a plurality of 208,000 to the Democrat Smith otlly a year ago. The voters of tho First Judicial district haye rebuked Murphy In tho most telling way by giving the most votes to KEwnuBOEB, who was put aside by the Tammany boss, and the fewest to Untebmyeb, Murphy's per sonal candidate. Not only does New-nunaE- B remain on the bench but Major McCook, his colleague on the Republican ticket, Is also \elected a Justice of the Supreme Court. Tammany Hall seems to havo saved from the wreck two of its favorites. With James A. Foley In tho Surro- gates' Court and EdwAbd F. Boyle President of the Borough of Manhat tan all' of Murphy's cup is not vine gar. These were candidates wnose professional qualifications for the offices they sought were not denied. Tho Democratic voters picked and chose; no Untebuyeb for them. Brooklyn has repudiated the Demo cratic! party almost entirely. In that borough Boss McCooey had no Gov ernor Smith to inject new life Into the ticket. Murphy very adroitly took advantage of the Governor's dramatic assault on Hearst and by making n popular Democrat a part of the local campaign he perhaps saved Foley and Boyle. The analyst can read in the elec tion figures for Manhattan and The Bronx the revolt of an Intelligent electorate against nn attempt to play with the courts. In Brooklyn, and In the city at large, he can read va- rious signs of dissatisfaction, not only with the methods of the local Demo-crntl- party but with general condl Hons under Democratic mismanage ment and extravagance. When a Republican on a straight Republican ticket carries a city which normally is so Democratic that it gave a plurality of 157,000 to John F. Hylan it makes food for thought, in Washington. And In some parts of the capital no Hps will be smacked over the dish. It would have been a day of honor for this town If nothing more had been accomplished than the election of NEwnuROEB and the defeat of Un termyer. But the people went fur ther and covered themselves with glory. They did things which no Boss will forget Lincoln on the Dignity and In- alienable .Bights of Free-Labor- The Sun referred the other day to Mr. Samuel Gompers's citation of Abraham Lincoln in sut port of tho general attitude of trade unionism, as represented by Mr. Gompf.ks, to- ward the orderly processes of our In- dustrial system and tin? Interests of the community. What Mr. Gomfebs said was this : \It Is still more stranga that a na- tion which may be Justly proud of Its Abraham Lincoln should now re- verse the application of the great truth he enunciated when he said that as between capital and labor labor should receive first and fora-rno- consideration.\ . A friend In Massachusetts has kindly Indicated . to lis tha where abouts of the utterance by Lincoln which the president of tho American Federation has thus perverted ln Us essence nnd application. In March of 1804 tne WorUl'igrr.en's Association of New York el:!ed Mr. I.ikcoln to honorary member-ship- . In accepting thnt membership tho Presi dent rend a passage from his first an nual mcssngo to Congress, In Decem ber, 1801, of which tho subjoined para- graphs were a part : ,\It Is not needed, nor fitting here, that a general argument should be made In favor ot popular InfitKutions; but there la one point, with Its con- nections, not so hackneyed aa most others, to which I ask a brief at- tention. It Is the irtort to place capital on nn equal fojtinir with, If not above, labor, ln the structure of the government. It Is assumed that labor Is available only In connection with capital; that nobody labors un- less somebody else, own'.ng capital, somehow by the use ot It induces htm to labor. This nu eJ, it Is next considered whatner it la best that capital shall hire laborers, and thus Induce them to work by their own consent, or buy them, and drlvo thra to It without their consent. Having) proceeded so far, It Is natu- rally concluded that all laborers are either hired laborers or what we call slaves. And further, ll Is nsAutr.ed that whoever Is once a hired laborer Is fixed In that'condltlon fur Ufa.\ \Labor Is prior to and Independent' of capital. Capital la only the fruit of labor, and could never have ex- isted If labor had not first existed. Labor Is the superior of capital and deserves much tho higher considera- tion. Capital has IL rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other rights. Nor Is It dented that there la, and \probably always will be, a relation between capital and labor producing mutual benefits.\ \Again aa has already boen said, there La not, of necessity, any such thing aa the free hired laborer being fixed to that condition :o. life. Many independent men everywhere In these suteBj a fw years back' tn their iivcb, were hired laborers . , Thla Is the Just and gemrou.1 and prosperous system which opens the way to all gives hope to all, rnd consequent energy nnd progress and Improvement of condition to nit.\ Mr. Lincoln's thesis is apparent at a glance. lie was presenting the fun damental truths of ourjecononilc nnd social system. Neither In the remarks quoted abovo nor in anything that follows Is there a word warranting the twist which Mr. Gompers has slyly attempted to give to the utter ance, namely, that when the great American, the great human nnd bur-- ma no philosopher, spoke of tho su periority of \labor\ to capital, tho labor he meant was organized labor undertaking to dictate to the rest of the community. navlrte quoted from his own re marks primarily suggested by thu Is sue between slave labor and free labor at the beginning of tbe civil war. Mr. Lincoln, speaking from the point of view of 1804 when slave labor hud been emancipated by his memorable act, continued his sound advice to the worklngmen who had gons to the White Houso to honor him : \The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family re- lation, should be one uniting all working people, of all nations and tongues and kindreds. Nor should this lead to a war on property, or tho owners of property. Property Is the fruit of labor; property Is desir- able ; Is a positive good In the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is Just encouragement to Industry and enterprise. Let not him who Is houseless pull down the house of an- other, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by exam- ple assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built\ We can conceive of no better advice to the individual Inborer tturh that which In contolned In these conclud lag words of Abraham Lincoln's ad dress to the New York worklngmen more than half a century ago. There Is nothing In his philosophy of labor that can give comfort to the Fosters or the Gomperses in any effort either to overthrow government nnd substi tute mob rule In this country, or to erect within our government a super- government controlled by themselves. In the case of Mr. Gompkes's adroit perversion of Lincoln's utterances, as In all similar cases, the trick is to identify labor in the broad economic sense, with \labor\ in the narrow Gomperslan sense. It will not work with Intelligent Americans. They must know whnt Abraham Lincoln would have done to tho preachers of revolution and anarchy of the sort advocated in Foster's red pamphlet. They can Imagine what would havo been his attitude and course toward Gompers or any leader of organized lnbor encouraging, actively or pas- sively, defiance of the law and resist- ance of the orders of the courts. We observe with satisfaction tho evidence that even within the ranks of organized labor the sound view of Its responsibilities nnd real Interests the LIncolnInn view, not the Gom- perslan view Is gaining strength nrid courage. Utterances like that which wo copy in another column from the Railroad Employee of Newark give reason for hope. As the Railroad Em- ployee expresses It, \It Is high time that the reputable and responsible ele- ment within the ranks of organiza- tions of labor denounce the prevailing spirit of brigandage In no uncertain erms.\ The definite advocacy of tho establishment of a basis of legal- re- sponsibility on tbe part of the em- - Ployed, enabling contracts to be made which shall not be on one side mere scraps of paper, Is a notable ond en- couraging manifestation of American fairness and common sense. Why This Moderation? In addition to the now familiar de- mands for a 00 per cent. Increase in wages, a six hour day and a five day week, there are other demands made by the striking coal miners which re - venl a further profit they seek from a five day week. If, for example, such srL .... n, --- - ,l, lre a ijruuuwumi ui ivai mihci muu cuuiu bo mined by one shift working six hours Ave days a week, further do- - mands nro that \for emotrency work there shall be paid tlmo'nnil n hnlf for overtlmo nud double wages for work done on holidays nnd Sundays, Saturday to be regarded as a holi- day.\ It should be understood, more- over, thnt tho six hour day does not moon air- hmira nf ivnrlt na lio nl,.lir THE 13UN, 'WEDIB&MY, Tho eight hours face to face were all at mining coal.

Massachusetts Beat the Slob. Governor Coolidoe, running for re election In Massachusetts on the Re- publican ticket, actually represented the forces of lnw and order not only in that Commonwealth but in nil the States of tho Union. In his Jurlsdlo tlon the Issuo between government by the people nnd government by a small fraction of the people was brought to a, focus ln the policemen's strike. Governor Coolidoe accepted It un- flinchingly. He stood by the people, and at tho polls the people stood by him, notwithstanding the elaborate campaign the beaten and disgraced lonner guaruians oi mo peace in Boston made ln behalf of Lono, the Democratic nominee. The extraordi- nary plurality given \to Governor Coolisoe Is a plurality for- - freedom and for' popular ru'- - Governor Coolidqb's splendid suc cess means more than tno reaf- firmation by tho electors of Massa- chusetts of their faith In popular gov ernment nnd their determination that the Government shall bo supreme not only over some of the people but over all of the people.

Confusion d lationship between tho, man wno worKs and tho man who pays.

We Bay It, and say It positively, that the labor organizations of the future must so regulate their affairs aa to be enabled to enter Into a binding legal agreement with their employers with mutual stipulation for collectible dam ages. Both must stand on an equal foot- ing. The worklngman and his associates should become contracting parties busi- ness men ln short with whom may be had proper and responsible business dealings. Tho Incorporation of Trade Unions. Tnm tt Boat and Rieoritr. The trade union should be compelled to come within the operations of the law, as all other corporate bodies are; and until this Is ,done there can never be peace and stability In Industry, nor constancy of work and wages for the worker. Once responsibility and obligation are made compulsory by law what will re- sult? The union will be Inspired and guided by the moral standards of the Individ ual worker. The union will be a real democracy, and not the corporation de- scribed as an organization without a soul to damn or a body to kick. Ite sponslblllty. will bring prudence If not wisdom ; leaders wllf be chosen with . more discrimination; all contracts and bargains will be made with caution and the knowledge that once entered upon they must be lived up to; and strikes as cures of evils, if they come, will only come after deliberation and a weighing ot consequences, and not as the result of Impulse, whim, passion or the malice of, the few. Compulsory Incorporation of trade unions means no loss of rights, privi leges or security to the collective body; It does mean an Increase .of dignity, standing and Importance to the union and Its membership; It does mean a steadying of the economle ship, a prom- ise of enduring Industrial peace and a better day for employer and employee. MOUND BUILDER'S TOMB. Hvldenees of Prehistoric Culture Found in Ohio Excavations. f rom l Popular lleclantet llaiattm. Digging into the tomb of a mound builder chief near Newark, Ohio, scien- tists recently discovered ancient trinkets which they declare establish the fact that the stone age Inhabitants of the locality belonged to the same tribe whose earth monuments are found ln other parts of the 8tate, notably Ross county, where similar research work has disclosed surprising evidence ot pre- historic culture. The sepulchre Is located near the flint quarries from which aborigines obtained material for arrow heads, and other Im- plements. It Is made of small stones and burled In a circular mound of earth about thirteen feet high. The chiefs skeleton Indicated that he waa a man nearly, six feet tall and over average weight. Underneath the bones was found what Is considered the most Important article taken from the excavation, a copper gorget, believed to have been a token of nuthorlty or rank. Other objects of Interest were copper earrings, an armlet of the Fame material and beads made from sea shells, which evidently had been worn as a necklace.

GAHADIAH SENATE MAY BEAT RAIL BILL Ministry Paces Defeat in Up- per Houso Over Grniul Trunk Measure. MANY WANT ELECTION Question of Further Bonusos ' for Soldiers Likely to , Go to People. Bt a Staff Correipandtnt of Tns Scn. Ottawa. Ont. Nov. 4. W. S. Field- ing's amendment to refer tho Grand Trunk ond entire railway question to a commission was defoated on a vote of 91 to 60 this evening. The normal clear majority of the Government Is 60 In a houso of 235 members. Other amend- ments will be offered by the opposition during the third reading., Notwithstanding its apparent\ strength the Government fs threatened With necessity for the dissolution of Parlia- ment over the Grand Trunk bill. Elected In December, 1917, on Its war policy, with a straight majority of 71 over all opposition, tho Ministry Is now faced with defeat in the Scnato on Its railway policy. Thd normal majority of tho Govern- ment In the Senate Is -- over 20. But already there are nine Senators out against the bill, and more may arise. Popular opposition to tho Grand Trunk project is increasing as the terms of the deal are better known through the campaign against It. Government sup- porters claim a majority of eight ln the Senate for the Grand Trunk, but that Is a hopeful guess. Members of the Government and of both houses are somewhat perturbed y over the urgent call made on tho Fenate by the Montreal Gazette to re- ject the Grand Trunk bill and compel an appeaMo the country. Tho Gazette Is a foremost conservative newspaper, tut has opposed the Government policy this year on prohibition, labor and the Grand Trunk.\ Government Blamed. ' The point Is taken that \It Is 'utterly repugnant to the Constitution for a Gov ernment avowedly supported for war measures to employ Its authority to lm pose peace measures of supreme Im portance for the decision of which no electoral mandate has teen given. All that has happened is that a Government of diverse elements, created by a great national crisis for a specific purpose, has undertaken after that purpose U accom- plished to commit the country to a se- rious domestic policy without a particle of popular consent. The Senate should send the subject to the people.\ Disintegration of the coalition sup- port of the Government has been going forward steadily during the year, since the actual duty, for which this Gov- ernment was elected has been per- formed. The and tho re- sult In Ontario all Indicate the Insecurity of the Ministry. Ytstcrdav there was a provincial ln Cochrane, Al- berta, the regular Liberal Government candidate, supported by the two Calgary dally papers and all the provincial Gov- ernment Influence, was defeated by a united farmer, J, Moore. Ottawa was deeply Interested, for It was an under stood trial of strength with the farmers. The soldiers' civil reestablishment re- port Is to be dealt with by Parliament. It Is the general conviction of members that Canada has gone tho limit on gra tultles and they will not consent to go any, further. But It Is also realized that nothing short of a general election will qulec the country. Taxpayers Oppose Bonne. The farmers and taxpayers generally will not b, willing to pay any more, but the discontented soldier element can only be put at rest by a decisive vote ln a general election. Official reports show that about 200,' 000 Canadians have gone quietly back to work at tliclr old jobs, or nt new and better ones. But a restless minority, mostly Englishmen, insist on additional cash gratuities. They will continue to agitate until the people support a gov ernment pledged against raids on the treasury, With a strong working majority ln the popular house, the government la under- - no constitutional necessity of dls solution. They may hold on until June, 1923. But Borden Is a states man of high political standards and will not hold to office If Uiere Is evidence of the expediency of an appeul to the people. Ina two previous elections the railway question was the Issue. The first par1 llament of Canada was dissolved, over an election scandal In connection with building tho Canadian Pacific In 1672. In 1904 tho Laurler ministry went to the country on the Grand Trunk Pacific pro lect and won nubile approval. It would seem fitting that the proposal to pur chase the Drank Trunk, Involving ac ceptance of liability for 3216,207,138 o debentures, and liability for the finding of the arbitrators on the value of 31S0,-424,3- of preference and common stock, should be submitted to the people ln a general election, A government is not bound to appeal to the country over nn adverse vate of the senate. The naval policy of tho first Borden ministry was reversed In 1913 and the wnr came alongtind lifted the ministry out of any embarrassment on that Issue. A senate reverse now would undoubtedly be eerlou9 and would bring the prime minister back home earlier than was Intended. The minister cf railways Is receiver for the Grand Trunk Pacific, so It la Imperative thnt action on the Grand Trunk be taken, either by way of arrangement with the parent grand trunk company or by liquidation of the OTP which would li.evttably Involve the Grand Trunk.
