THE TREATY.

Sth Germany and it's attendant sague of Nations, is, judging from 1e tone of his utterances, becoming Srther and further convinced that &s idea of the project will eventually accepted by this nation, while re- : rts from Washington, emanating pm Republican sources, at least, are bphatically predicting the failure of E Treaty, as it stands, to pass the hate.
 gudging from the events of the past < elk, we are prepared to predict that B Treaty pact will be accepted by B country at large, even if it has to & made an issue in 1920. We base Is upon our construction of the esident's words. He started upon tour speaking mildly, not advanc- Il any radical arguments for the option of the Treaty. Since that he he has become more and more istent upon the ratification of the jeument, without textual amend Int or reservation. He has now ched 8 point where he is most spoken for it's adoption. We will ept the stories of his "cordial' re- &tion from the Democratic wing n his "cold" one from the Repub- n wing at their face value, allow T them to counteFbalance one an Her, and neutralize. But the tone the Presidents speeches has been It of man who is thoroughly con- #ced that he is winning his fight. X b his words been met with skepti- n at an early point. we believe that would have dropped his uncom- missing attitude and contented self with giving speeches that c arguments. He has not; his rage is being built up in the West. refore, the people of the West, in ority, favor the League. President son is too clever as a politician gnore the sentiment of the people. M could scarcely talk as he has were N against it.
 S to Washington: Treaty amend ats there, we are told by Repub- n anti-League newspapers, are idly gaining in strength. If this so, and our previous judgment is rect, the issue will be fought out in in 1920, the Presidential cleo
 adoptin>. the nature of a referen-
 to the people by the nomination candidates opposing and favoring
 League of Nations. Should the 7 ate defeat the covenant, or so in Rret it that it's defeat is certain, occasion will call for the nomina-
 for reelection for a third term he present holder of the highest e in the land and the personal hsor of the League of Nations. will be the only plank on which may again accept the nomination
 the only conceivable plea for a ld term. Republicanism in the Rte is certainly furnishing him
 the ammunition for another paign.

 Every argument is for quick sion. We have had long enough hlk it over. The placing off of the e until 1920 would be a mistakc 0 which we will all have to pay, ir- ective of which side wins.
