1t is quite evident that from all
reports given out by the Democratic
candidates for president that there
will be hot time in Baltimore. Will
son says that Underwood is fighting
him in the south; that Clark and
Hearst are united in conspiracy to
defeat him; and that Harmon is to
divide the east with him. Wilson
thinks that according to the way ev-
erything is shaping up he will have
to fight the whole field. Should Bryan
enter the field then there will be no
nope whatever left for Wilson as he
is being supported by the Bryan stall
warts. The Democratic party has not
been able to unite and support its can
didate in recent years and there is
no reason to believe that the party
will be united at Baltimore. When
Bryan was nominated in 1896 the con
servative Democrats led by Hill of
New York refused to support him.
When he was put up again in 1900
the eastern conservative Democrats
bolted the party. When Parker was
PIT up in 1904 the Bryan Democrats
of the center and west refused to vote
for him. Then again when the ma
tional Democratic convention Of 1908.
held in Denver, for the third time
put Bryan in the field the conservative
wing of the party went back on their
candidate and helped to elect Taft.
Should Wilson, Bryan or Clark get
the nomination the conservatives will
again vote for Taft who will be nomi-
mated at Chicago by the Republicans.
Should Harmon get the nomination it
will be through the efforts Of Wall
street and the progressive Democrats
will never support him. At election
time they will be divided between
Taft, the Socialist candidate or will
refuse to go to the polls. The party
has no ce.,tral idea, no common ground
upon which all may meet. In other
words the party seems to believe in
states rights, that is, the right OF
each state to have its own candidate
and platform of it's own. 1t has
no national policy, therefore must de-
pend for its success upon bolt in
the Republican party which seldom
materializcs, since the Republican
party has national policy. There
may be division in the party when
it comes to working out the details
of program, but that is no more
than should be expected in any party
in a country with diversified interests.
The Democrats pretend to get some
comfort out of the fact that Roose-
welt and La Toilette are candidates
for Taft's place, but even as early
as this they are losing hope since
the opposition to Taft if there ever
was any to amount to anything is rap
idly disappearing and, no doubt, will
continue to diminish until it will
cease to be by the time the national
convention is called to order in Chi
cago next June.

1t will be remembered that Can
ada turned down Taft's reciprocity
treaty proposition. However, the peo-
pie of western Canada are up in arms
against eastern Canada which has
the majority vote. Those western Ca
nadians are advocating division Of
the country, separating the east from
the west. The western people claim
it is to their interest to have reci-
piocity with the United States. The
fact that many of the westerners for
merly lived in this country may have
something to do with the difference
of opinion.

The dog proposition in our cities is
a difficult one to handle. No one
likes to kill dog even though he be
an outlaw. Children and sometimes
older people think there is no other
animal like the pet dog. Some would
sacrifice all other possessions to save
the dog, and yet it is not very
pleasant sight to see a dozen dogs
running down the street, over the
lawns, into the back yards and aci oss
the porches. In this matter it is
difficult to determine where ones
rights begin and where those of an
other leave off

There is widespread movement to
put stop to the continual emigra-
tion of our citizens to western Can
ada. The new land laws being pass
ed may help to hold our people. The
new lands being opened up in Can
ada is the attraction. Certainly it
is not the climate. There is this sat
isfaction for us that before long many
of those people will be returning to
the United States.

The Democrats do not know what
to do with their political situation in
Colorado owing To the fact that the

We use many expressions in our

realizing where and how the express
sions originated. For instance the
expression "cold feet" has signi-

come cold by preventing the circu-

1t is now being reported that the

some 100000 or 100000, during the
last two years. When the Republicans
took charge of the state government
after the Orman administration they
found the finances in bad condition.
We presume it will be similar ex-
perience the coming year.

REPORTS ON LAWS DELAY
Board of Trade Committee
Suggests Austrian system.

The special committee appointed by the

leading to the discomfort with the iu-
Saturday 10 former Judge u. Cady Her
rick. in which it described the principe
failings OF Tho present system and rec
commended that the new Austrian proceed
ure was worthy of pattern.
The causes leading TO tho present feel
ing Of discomfort with our judicial sys-
tenn are. in our opinion valid ana not
few" the communication said. This
feeling mainly springs, as We believe,
from neglect Of the interests oC tho pub
lie which is greatly concerned in the
prompt righting Of wrongs, in composing
and adjudioatins actual dif-
fercnces."
After describing the hardships wrought
by the laws delay. the communication
says that the public suffers even more
than individuals. because the community
loses the salutary effect of prompt trial
and conviction Of real offenders az Ger
tainty of punishment is more effective
than severity.
As special source OF dissatisfaction
the committee gives the difficulty which
"a encountered now Ia the adjudication
of business and commercial lltigations, the
delay causing not only uncertainty but
actual losses.
