Democratic Confidence.

On the Democratic side, one finds the
other kind Of confidence, and ANALYSIS
OF the status Of public opinion. There
are Democrats who say that while they
are admittedly weak on domestic issues,
and that the people are irritated over
various instances OF mismanagement
and inefficiency revealed by members
of the Democratic administration the
desire to get the treaty ratified and
normal business conditions established
would give the Democrats strength
from large numbers of the American
people who. If voting on domestic af-
fairs alone, would not think of support
ing the Democratic ticket. 1t is there
fore becoming evident that on both the
Democratic and Republican sides there
isn't such a reluctance to let the treaty
become an issue unfortunate as the
result may be for Europe and the world
at large.
But as remarked before in these
columns, the two old-line parties are
considerably more interested in their
own partisan success this year than in
anything else. The move being made
by the Democrats to compromise the
treaty has its element of camouflage
The Republicans smilingly call the
Democratic offer surrender" but at
the same time hesitate to say they will
accept It. There Is some suspicion that
the Democrats would be surprised and
dumfounded II the Republican did ac-
cept II and that they are hoping that
the Republicans will pile up a record
of refusing to compromise so as to
make good material for the campaign
cutlery that the Republican party Is
delaying pee e. On the other hand,
there are mild reservationsts and pro-
gressives on the Republican side who
are sincerely anxious to keep the treaty

Canadian Northwest, OF its Royal
Mounted Police, possesses an element
of novelty, which has been effectively
seized upon by its producer, and con-
trives to thrill its auditors from start

and never surpassed by any former Be-

claimed that Tiger Rose is the heart
in which the wizardry of this master of
stage craft has been exercised.
