Still Leader.
(NeW York Times.)

By way of London we learn that President Roosevelts policies failing after another and that his hands are so tied by factions in Con- gress that he do little. This is the summary of political events for the past two months sent to The London Times by it's Washington correspond ent It was possible for him to enumerate quite list of rebuffs and defeats which the President the Senate to ratify the World Court treaty. An other treaty much desired by him. the Seaway treaty with Canada, is making no better headway The Chairman of the Senate Committee, Senator Pittman stated the other day that this treaty is dead for the session. Meanwhile various bills fav- ored by the President slowly dragging their way along against opposition in Congress, while others which he is known to oppose, like the Bonus Bill, the road to speedy passage. A timd or apprehensve friend of the President might look the items and conclude despondently, All these things against us'
 This however, is to overlook several vital factors in the political situation. MT. Roosevelt is not merely President of the United States He is leader of the Democratic Party. Still within his hands there is vast amount of political influence as distinguished from official. He can do much to determine the future of Senators and Representa- tives who must come up for reelection next year He make appeals which all the more apt to be effective because threat lies behind them It is true that small cliques and factions of Demo- craS in Congress have been showing their teeth at him but does anybody suppose that they will not be brought to heel when he finally decides to snap the party whip them? While the powers of the President are strictly defined and limited in the Constitution his personality is not cabined or confined. His political skill remains free for him to exercise it. The time to do that is apparently drawing near, and the country is warranted in expecting MT Roosevelt to show that he is leader who knows how to make his leadership effective

WAS IT ALL IN VAIN?

Complete conquest the iron rule of the an- cients, and though we of the modern age look upon them as virtual savages on the way to more ad- vanced civilization perhaps after all they had the right answer unconditional victory total defeat; compromise. Analysis by the Associated Press this week of that famous Treaty of Versailles which terminated the world struggle gives considerable weight to the old theory of whole hog none, at least it would Indicate the giving of any consdera- tion to the enemy is mostly futile.
 Outcome of the salient points of the treaty reveal that punishment of the Kaiser never enforced Germany stiD seeks restoration of former colonies and union with Austria Germany still refuses further obedience to army and air clause, separations payments since 1881, guarantees en- forcing the treaty all lapsed abandoned and the League of Nations still functoning but Germany no longer member
 And throughout the world nations are again arming to the teeth.
 In those oden times when a conquest inspired people moved in on rival nation they didn't just stay for the weekend and go home, but set up a permanent residence, or else they were outdone and entirely vanqushed. The rule of survival then was the warrior with the sharpest sword or his agility in yielding it. backed by the greatest number of swordsmsn with the same idea. But today point with pride an5 tap foreheads in significant gesture that we have advanced from those Dark Ages And doubt have in many ways, 2s- pecially in culture but find ourselves hardly out of gigantic slaughter and the nations of the earth scratching their heads and, looking askance at the results it to wonder if those old savages of ancient times didn't have the right idea after all?

Good for Next Year and Thereafter.
lKansas City Times.l

At least appearances will be sweetened up for the average citizen and taxpayer in the voting year of 1886. according to interpretations of the stua tion coming out of Washington. Because of the work relief funds of nearly billion dollars shortly to be made available, extraordinary appropriation next year will be necessary and the budget for the fiscal year will be nominally balanced Further more, it is indicated additional taxes may not be considered until after the next Presidential cam paign is
 That is beautifully to the good. But it's touchy business nevertheless. Because there is saying what may be the frame of mind of the citizen and taxpayer, he has been even temporarily relieved from anxiety about appropriations, the budget and taxation. He might demand that the policy be made permanent. In fact wouldn't 1t be capital idea to incorporate in the platform la plank carrying that pointed promise?

OTHER OPINION
For Temperance


The News-Sentinel does not be-
lieve that, for some time to come,
there is apt to be anything like ma
jority sanction for a return to the
Volsteadian experiment, under
which conditions became to terrible
that a 7-to-3 majority was rolled
up for repeal.
Nevertheless, it can not intelli-
gently be overlooked that recent
America Speaks survey revealed
that only about one-third of the
citizens canvassed believe that con-
ditions with respect to drinking
have improved since the eighteenth
amendment was rendered inopera-
tive by popular mandate.
Nor can it be lightly dismissed
that another third of the people
feel that conditions are worse, and
an equal number hold that things
are about the same"
1t will be good public policy for
officials and good business judg-
ment on the part Of all engaged in
any branch of the liquor business,
therefore, to cooperate earnestly,
sincerely and to the fullest extent
in forwarding the cause of temper
ance.
