To- day or tomorrow water from the Niagara river will be poured into the canal, and Canada will have made another big stride in the race for supremacy on this North American continent. In prop on to their wealth adid po ation, the Canadians are giving us a good fight in prog- ress ad national improvement. They fight us at every point. in real accomplishment, and beat us often. That is the right kind of war between nations. competition in high accomplishment. Canada is a useful neighbor, a good pace- maker.

If Caruso could have left to his daughter the vocal cords that produced sound, the brain for- mation that creates feeling, he would have left a greater for- tune than any number of lire or ,a dollarsand be would have left her the happiness of work, while that is never left with money.

Hope To Nip Opposition. Friends of the President and of the treaty, recognizing the growing op- position of the old "irreconcibable" element, together with the expected Democratic opposition, believe much of this opposition can be nipped by having the instrument so amended as to make it clear that American troops will never be sent across the Pacific to preserve the territorial or political integrity of the powers in- volved. This would not only allay much of the opposition that has manifested itself, they believe, but it would frus- trate a recurrence of the long and embarrassing fight which, it is ad- mitted, a minority of the Senate might make against the treaty. Views of Foreigners Sought. The principal deterrent to such a course, according to Republican lead- ers, is the doubt as to how the other powers signatory to the treaty might receive suggestions of its be- ing rewritten or amended. Although foreign spokesmen refuse to comment publicly upon such a proposition, certain Republian Sen- ators already are engaged in sound- ing out sentiment among the visiting delegations.
