BITS FOR BREAKFAST
WHAT IS (OR WAS) THE SENATE OLIGARCHY?
; ', AVhat is, or rather: was, "The Senate Oligarchy' to which
'Cox, and other Democratic speakers, arc constantly referring?
' An oligarchy, a government by a minority, , is traditionally
iand justifiably obnoxious to the American, .people.. , Our insti
tutions are. based upon the fundamental proposition that ma
jority rule should, and must, prevail in this country.
. . The Democrats are endeavoring to give the impression,
therefore, to a people devoted to a ixjlitieal faith resting for
i'its corner-stone upon the sacreduess of majorities, that a small
i crroup of Republican Senators, actuated by unworthy motive
. defeated in the Uiiited StaterSeimte on the ',19th of last Starch
I'.tbc will of the Americari"peo)le regarding the Wilson League
, of Nations. ; -
. Than this, nothing could he further from the truth.
;; )ii March 19, 1920, the (Jennan peace treaty failed of jrati
iication by the Senate by a vote of 49 to :."; 7 less than thefnec-
essary two-thirds. Twenty-eight Republicans and 21 Democrat!
rvoted for ratification; 12 Republicans and 23 Democrats against!
it. ' " : -1- ' '
r .The full resolution of ratification which failed of adoption
-1 by a two-thirds vote was made up of a preamble and fifteen
i reservations. All these reservations had been previously adopt
ed by majority votes which made them a part pi the complete
resolution. '
: The aini of these reservations was to " Americanize" a doc
f uinent that, without them Hvas thought by many Jtonest Ameri
. cans to be subversive of our national right of self-determination.
l .V If you wish to indulge in an amusing game of hide-and-seek
r. go through the details relating to the above historic event and
find, if you can, the notorious but phantom Senate oligarchy.
' Did that oligarchy consist of the 28 Republicans and -21
Democrats who voted for ratification of the amended Treaty?
Or was it made up pf the 12 Republicans and 2'1 Democrats who
Rvoted in: tile negative T i t. '
i' . In any conceivable definition, of the tfnra "Senate oli-
earchv', as applied to this historic episode it is apparent that
the governing few was made up of both Republicans and Dem-
?V ocrats in about -equal proportions: - In other -words, of -there
really existed, at any, recent period, a reprehensible oligarchy
' . in the Senate, the blame rests as much upon the Democrats as
-1, upon the Republicans, a point that is never made by Cox or his
; r fellow Democrats. . '.1 ... y - ;. : , ;

commandingly. "If you don't the
first shot will nick your ear. the

Ernast'a only answer was a de
risive laugh, v.h'ch vas stopped
on his lips by a shot from the re
volver. His hand went up to his
left ear. which to my amazement,
waa nicked as neatly as If it had
been cut with a pair of. sharp
scissors.
"One!" said the officer -Impressively.
To tha eternal credit of his
bravery Ernest didn't stop run
ning. Instead, he made another
jump to one side, and as he zig
zagged, began to shout:
"Otto, where th dev "
Another shot rang - out, and
Ernest sttrfhbled. almost fell.
With marksmanship that was al
most uncanny it was so un?rring,
tha officer had kept his promise
and i-hot the other man in the
foot. 1
"Two!" iiiloned the officer. .
Ernest put up his hands even
before he turned around to face
th-o officer. Hut even as he did
he finished the shout:
"Otto! Where the devil are
von?" ' "
"Come back here!" th3 officer
commanded sternly.
"Sure. I'll come back," Jeered
Ernest, his spirits -evidently un
conquered even in the face '"of
capture. ."Ths rooster knows

to do a siunt of imitatin' Job for

"Thev'll help you to the gal

ly. "Now rail that otnr man
again and toll him to come out
here. And no monkey business,
mind. There are several more

"Oh. please!" I railed to the
officer, who did not turn his eyes
away from Ernest, but who, I
knew, was listening to me atten
tively, "the other man Is going
to blow up the wireless over in
th; windmill lh-i signal this

The words died on my lips In
sudden terror. For Oito. a huge
figure of implacable rage, had

raised it and fired I felt a sudden
