try affords Their latest effort is the
engagement of one of the leading stars
in the United States and Europe. Miss

company which comes here next
Tuesday night and will present Henrik
Ibsen's latest masterpiece Ghosts"
Miss Gauatin is not only a charm

She has appeared in the support of
such stars as Richard Mansfield. T. w.

partisan lines, do heartily approve the
course of the administration, the fact
remains that the chief effort OF demo-
cratic leadership in the senate mas
been to defeat the treaty and whip the
full party membership into line for this
purpose The full power of the jerno-
cratic caucus, under Senator Germans
direction, has been persistenly put
forth to bring about the defeat of a
ratification and the condemnation of the
administration which such defeat
would imply.
The country has been saved from
the misfortune Of failure of the treaty
by the Individual action Of democratic
senators, moved by powerful pressure
on the part of their constituents, but
this has been accomplished in spite of
the attitude of the party organization
in the senate

NO BOND ISSUE NEEDED

One good indication Of the stable
financial condition of the country is
shown in the announcement that the
payment of s50.OOo.OOO on account of
the Panama canal will be made direct
ly from the treasury from funds on
hands and not by sale of bonds.
In round numbers the treasury now
has on deposit with national banks
$3.50, 900 900 besides very considerable
balance In the treasury itself. The
$25 900 900 of the deposits or about one
sixth of the total outstanding with the
banks. The last statements show that
the banks are In good shape. having
abundant funds on hand, and can re-
turn the government funds without any
hppreciable stress upon their custom
ers.
The contrast between financial con-
ditions now and conditions existing
during the last democratic administra-
ton are very marked. Then 1t was
necessary to make repeated bond is
sues to carry on the expenses of operat-
ing the government. The receipts were
continually falling behind the expenses,
and the treasury surplus was being
constantly menaced by this drain.
The monied interests would be glad
to see the supply OF government bonds
Increased by any means and would
welcome s60ooO.OO of new bonds at
this time. But the general public in
eludtng the majority of the business
and commercial classes would not ap-
prove of bond issue and are pleased
to note that the government can meet
Its now obligations without increasing
It's interest bearing debt.

War has actually begun and the first
advantage seems to be with japan.
Japan is near her base of supplies and
has a full equipment on the scene of
action. 1t is manifest that English
sentiment is largely in favor of Japan.
1t Is true also that the popular feeling
in the United States is in sympathy
with the little brown islanders whe
are helping the cause of civilization
by checking the Russian advance and
preserving the unity of the Chinese
empire.

SENATOR cLARk's STAND

Senator Clark. the new democratic
senator from Arkansas, made one OF
the most notable arguments yet heard
on the floor of the senate In favor OF
the ratification of the Panama treaty.
He did not rest his case on the plea
OF accomplished fact, as Congressman
Williams. the democratic leader in the
house has done, but justified 1t on
strict grounds of legality, international
practice and right He met the case
fairly on it's merits.
The Arkansas senator went even fur
thus, and defended the whole policy of
the administration on the lsthmus from
the beginning. characterizing it as just,
vigorous, timely and regardful of the
interests of the United States and of
the civilized world, He even declared
that President Roosevelt would have
been justified in going farther than he
did go In the use of the military and
naval forces in Panama, and declared
that the American people would sus-
tain the administration without regard
to party.
Senator Glars declarations thus is
In effect powerful arraignment of the
democratic leadership in the senate

RoOSEVELT's RUNNING MATE

Senator Fairbanks OF Indiana it is
said has at length consented to make
the race with Roosevelt as vice presi-
dent on the ticket This combination
will insure Indiana a sure place in the
republican column il there was any
doubt of it's loyalty to the cause but
Indiana majorities have not shown
any wavering of late years, though the
state was once in the doubtful list.
But Fairbanks is not wanted on the
ticket for his geographical position
merely his standing as a statesman is
much too large for any such an infer
ence.
Senator Fairbanks has been at the
forefront in national politics since 1896
and conspicuous figure in the United
States senate since his election to that
body. He is a man of substance, a
statesman of broad ideas. He will add
StfenBJn 10 the tlckel III every SIdle
in the Union.
The selection of man like Senator
Fairbanks for the second place on the
ticket gives additional force to the
new idea concerning the vice presiden-
tlal candidate that has been manifest
In the past few campaigns. Before
this the second place has often fallen
to a second rate man who reached the
height OF his ambition In occupying
the place. II he had coveted higher
honOrs he knew they were unattainable
after accepting the vice presidency.
But this has been changed and a
new idea obtains Senator Fairbanks
need not necessarily surrender his
higher ambitions by accepting the sec
ond place on the ticket. II ne proves
himself what the people now believe he
IL his future is even advanced by his
acceptance
