Bryan'S DemagOgue Critics.
Irrom the omn.o World. !

The letter recently sent out from
Governor Johnson's Chicago head
quarters referred to the pronounced
democratic sentiment for Mr.. Bryan
In these sighting words; "For
months the party has been drifting
toward an autocratic convention,
where popular choice is to he sub
ordinate to personal will"
Secretary Taft, speaking in the
metropolis OF Mr.. Bryan's State
Monday night permitted himself to
refer to Mr.. Bryan as "the gentle
man who still seems to have the
power OF leading the Democratic
party against it's will"
These expressions will not add to
the standing in the popular estima-
ton Of either Governor Johnson or
Secretary Taft.
The people know they voice an
absolute and falsehood,
and they know, too, that Secretary
Taft, ms well ms Governor ohnson's
representatives, knew how false
they were when giving them utter
ance. It is possible, though hardly
probable, that Governor Johnson Is
misreprcsented by his spokesman,
but Secretary Taft, in any event,
spoke forshimself, and In what he
said stamped himself more the in
sincere demagogue than the fair and
truthful man.
Secretary Taft knows very we'll,
lust as well as do the Democrats
who are plotting under cover of
Johnson's name, that Mr.. Bryan is
the popular choice of very large
minority Of the Democrats OF the
United States. He knows very well
that MIR. Bryan is not LEADING the
party against its will" and that 1t
would be impossible for him to do
so. He knows that the reason, and
the only reason, that Mr.. Bryan is
accorded the Democratic leadership
by the democratic hosts is that he
represents their will, gives it voice,
and fights for it, courageously, bold
Is and manfully. The moment that
Bryan ceases to stand for the things
that Democrats stand for, the mo
Iment that he became personally ais
tasteful to the majority of the Dem
, ocrats, that moment would his lead
= ership lie ovcrthrown. He has moth
ing but his ideas, and his consistency
to those ideas, to give him strength
Nobody knows II better than Gov
ernor Johnson and Secretary Taft
, Democrats may be proud that Mr.
Bryan does not thus play the cheal
demagogue in his references to Mr.
Rooscyelt's leadership of the Repub
lican party. With far more trut'
% might he say that Roosevelt lead
D the Republican party against 1t
T will. But he doesn't say it. In
I stead he is brave enough and homes
u enough To say that Mr.. RooseNel
represents the enlightened judgmen
e and the real will Of the Rcpublica
r voters, but that he has been unabl
= with all his strenuousuess, toinduc
the Republican leaders and the Re
publican organization to give tn
Republican voters what they want
J, The day when clap-trap and petit
l partisan demagogucry pleased voter
c has passed, please God not to Re
i turn. The people are dcmandin
sincerity and frankness in thci
y leaders. When n would-hc leader

RAT[FY TWO TREATIES
Boundary Contention Uith Great
Britain FaUorably Reported.
IFrorn The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, April 22.-The Senate ratified to-
day the general arbitrat ton treaty with Great
Britain and another similar in all essentials,
with Spain. There was at time some oppo-
sition to the arbitration treaty with Great
Britain the part of certain Irish societies,
but when they realized how mild a convention
this is and that similar treaties are being made
and ratified with all other natons-seven have
been ratified this sesson-their opposition dis
appeared.
The Committee Foreign Relations also re-
ported favorably the treaty with Great Britain
providing for the delimitation and marking or
the Canadian boundary and some discussion en-
sued but ratification was deferred because OF
a desire further to examine the provisions OF
the convention affecting the Lake of the Woods
and certain other sections of the boundary
Senator Carter asked that final action on the
treaty be deferred.
