SummaryResumen
The *Birmingham Age-Herald* criticized President Roosevelt for enforcing the unratified Dominican customs treaty through executive action, using warships to protect Customs Receiver George R. Colton. The editorial argued that neither Roosevelt nor President Morales held constitutional authority to bind their nations without legislative approval, and warned the policy risked committing the United States to guaranteeing debts throughout Spanish America. The article predicted that Senate Democrats would firmly oppose ratification, noting rumors that the administration might seek a congressional joint resolution to validate the receivership.
El *Birmingham Age-Herald* criticó al presidente Roosevelt por aplicar el tratado aduanero dominicano no ratificado mediante una acción ejecutiva, empleando buques de guerra para proteger al receptor de aduanas George R. Colton. El editorial sostenía que ni Roosevelt ni el presidente Morales tenían autoridad constitucional para comprometer a sus naciones sin aprobación legislativa, y advertía del riesgo de que esta política comprometiera a los Estados Unidos a garantizar deudas en toda Hispanoamérica. El artículo vaticinaba que los demócratas en el Senado se opondrían con firmeza a la ratificación, señalando rumores de que el gobierno intentaría obtener una resolución conjunta del Congreso para validar la administración aduanera.

Morales had no right to bind the Do
minicans, and Roosevelt had no right
to bind the Americans to any such pro
gramme.
The treaty lias never been ratified
by the Senate, and It Is repudiated by
the people of Santo Domingo. It Is
still hung up, but President Roosevelt,

precedent to enforce It. George B.
Colton has taken charge of the custom
houses in question, and he is hacked
up by our fighting ships.
The revolution, or rather revolutions,
In Santo Domingo, have not affected
Receiver Colton, because the guns of
our ships are pointed shoreward, and
tho administration proposes, it appears,
to let the revolutions in Santo Do
mingo proceed unchecked while Colton
stands unharmed.
But what then? The Senate will

treaty, and the thirty-eight democrats
In the Senate constitute more than one

protect all the queer steps that, have
