tion to declare war than to with
draw from one; to begin trouble
than to end it. They evidently be
lieved that in international rela
tions the states would adt as a unit
that party lines would disappear
and the two-thirds requirement
would serve as a Balutary coiiBerv
ative measure. It hnu come to pass,
however, that treaties submitted to
the senate are looked upon as the
aots of administrations that are in
power, and because of this have
been supported, with few excep
lions, by senators of the dominant
party, and opposed by the political
opponents. It rarely happens that
any party has a two-thirds majority
in the senate. In consequence, it
is usually so difficult to secure rat
ification that the senate has not in
aptly been termed the "graveyard
of treaties." The number that have
failed to find approval is large.
Just what Democratic newspa
pers would have bad handy to

an unusual amount of trusts
formed during the past few months

the calamity howlers' props have
been knocked from .under them.
But, speaking of trusts; There
need be no uneasiness felt as re

are but the natural produot of pros
