A Made-Over Party.
lNew York Times. )

tNew York Tmes.)
 How powerfully personalities affect the trend of party politics has long been the theme of historians. But seldom has rapidly transformed the objectives of political organi- zation Alfred E. Smith has done in the case of the Democratic Party
 Not until he actually nominated at Houston the extent of his influence realized For the past two years he had been growing rapidly. The party was developing other leader The death of Bryan, and the inability of any aspirant to wear the Bryan mantle, left the Presidential field to Smith With the open ing of this year it evident that no serious rival could arise. Even to the moment of the convention there sufficient anti-Smith strength to have denied the nomination of the Governor of New York. Numerically there were type of candidate But the lack of one and the steady beat of the fact that to deny Smith two thirds after he had attained a majority would mean certain defeat in November, removed the barriers Delegates and those who choose them are politicians, and though there were few who sought encouragement to die for their pre- ferences, expedieney prevailed and the inevitable nomination made.
 Insanity the transformation A party which, at least since 1894, had chosen the radical phase of economies, the bureaucratic phase of law ana regulation, and the paternalistic view of na- tional morals, had it's mind and it's garb changed Tn two days. The head of the largest corporation in the world, himself one of the richest men in
 
 puDleanism, was put in National Chairman bv Goyernor smith. Generalization and bureaucracy with their tendency to regulate from Washington the daily lives and habits of citizens in distant communities were attacked in every official ut- tefanee made by the nominee and his Chairman frohipltlon was singled out the party chiefs enemy. The tar1f as part of the measures for lafm relief was accepted a qualified basis In these new modern clothes the Democratic Party IS a strange sight to the Southern and Western pemocfats who were brought up on Bryanism and WHO LOOK very little interest either in James M COX or John w. Davis, the standard bearers of i9zV 10 1924, because of the evident lack of interest felt in these nominees by Bryan himself
 Yet the changed party is recognizable-even py the Westerners and Southerners-as possessed |oi great strength, of effective attack powerfully ied. The obvious anxiety of the Republicans aione would be complete testimonial of inc accession or Democratic power. Nor are there sishs that, save for a few one-idea men there is any iamentation over the passing of the Bryan i@ea democracy. It had it's day and that was a iohs one Parties and their policies are bound to change as old leaders pass and new ones arise. The difference between Bryan,s Democracy anu omlths Democracy is not so great as that between Jenerson's Democracy and Bryan's

THE NEW CHINESE TREATY.

Dr. Julius Klein, Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, has prepared a statement explaining why the United States en- tered recently into new commercial treaty with China abolishing old provisions which have outlved their usefulness and hamper rather than safeguard commercial intercourse.
 The new treaty which accords to the Chinese complete tariff autonomy after January 1, 1929, so far American trade is concerned, does not impair American trade interests in any degree, Dr. Klein stated. It does, however give to China the right of eyying such customs duties as she chooses upon her incoming or outgoing trade.
 After reviewing the facts of history and showing that China has progressed in the eighty years since the establishment of relations with Western Nations than during the previous thirty centuries, pr. Klein calls attention to condition that is not generally known when he shows that during the recent years of strife in China her trade has continued to increase China's imports have increased more than 135 per cent since 1915. The United States sold to China $130 000 worth of goods in 1926 as compared to an average annual sale of $31,00O,- 900 worth of goods for the few years preceding 1915. Our share of Chna's imports have tripled since 1913.
 Dr. Klein noted the fact that "China has hundreds of industrial plants of modern type" mentioning the activity of textile mills, flour mills iron works, electric plants silk fila lures, chemical works glass and porcelain fac tories, and others He maintained that. taking our trade a whole, the rise of factory pro- duction in China though curtaing our market for certain goods, would help us. If sell fewer textiles, we'll sell more machinery" he asserted and similar forces will operate in other ways, especially through the increase in buying power among the workers, and consequent lifting of iv- ing standards"
 It is admitted that the commercial treaty with China, while practically recognizing the new Chinese Government, must be followed by another treaty, which is promised. Due to the fact that the Japanese felt deeply chagrined over the circumstance of the commercial treaty, it is believed that Government will be consulted before the new treaty is entered into.

GOV. SMITH AND DIR. STRATON.

pr. John Roach Straton, sensational New York fundamentalist preacher, attacked Gov Smith, declaring that he the greatest foe of moral progress in the United States The attack was made from his pulpit in sermon at a regular Sunday evening service Gov. Smith asked Dr. Straton to permit him to meet with him at the same church and before the same congregation and to discuss any particulars that Dr. Straton might present to sustain his charge and promised to answer any question that might be asked concerning his public private career Dr. Straton then suggested that they rent an audi torium and have series of debates
 In the meantime, Judge Black, chairman of Dr. Straton's Board of Trustees, gave out statement declaring that his pastor was all wrong, saying that Gov Smith was the most loyal cleanest and most progressive man in public life. Then Dr. Straton refused to meet Gov. Smith in debate in his church, because the church could not be used for political discussion.
 pr. Straton's position, therefore is that it is all right for him to assail mans character and public record in his church, but it is all wrong to- require him to make his charges good there.
 To cap the climax, now comes evidence to show that whiskey has been sold over the bar in a hotel belonging to Dr. straton

PROTECTING CARRIER PIGEONS.

The Popular Mechanics Magazine is authority for the statement that sure-shot method has been discovered by U. s. Signal Corps officers for the protection of carrier pigeons It says light bamboo whistles, strapped to the tails of the pigeons, are proving effective in protecting them from hawks and other birds preying on the useful messengers The whistles blow of them selves the pigeons fly rapidly along and the noise tends to frighten the birds of prey The plan is an innovation in this country, but has been used for many years in China
