Germany In Samoa.

There il only brief and unsatislac-
tory reference in the Presidents message to
the state OF affairs in the Samoan Islands;
and yet in the whole range Of our present
diplomatic relations, with the single excep-
ton of the Canadian fishery question, there
is no subject OF equal Importance.
Samoa might very well have been left
alone to be seized, without protest on our
part, 10y Germany or England or any other
European power cOyeting the group. But
the situation changed when Secretary BAY.
ARD instructed Minister PENDLEToN to no
tify the German Government. "temperately,
but decidedly that the United States as
serted its right to voice in the arrange
meut OF Samoan des.iIies
The position then taken by Mr.. BAYARD
was maintained by him in long series OF
declarations, instructions and other official
expressions. 1t eau only be. abandoned at
the sacrifice of national self-respect.
Ciermany's steady policy of aggression In
Samoa takes account neither Of Mr.. BAY
ARDS protests nor Of his amazement at
being go basely deceived by diplomatists in
whose representations he had trusted. No
attention whatever Is paid to the elaborate
and carefully worded communications which
he fires at Berlin. The incident is fast shap-
ing itself into national humiliation for US
and subject of ridicule for the whole out
side world of diplomacy.
1t is not encouraging to he informed by
the President that in the subsequent corre-
spondcuce which will be laid before Con-
gross 1.-The history OF events in those islands
will be found We know already too much
of the history of events in Samoa. What Is
needed is more light on the history OF events

The White Cap outrages. now referred to
almost daily in The SUNS press dispatches
from Ohio. are perpetrated in the counties
lying along the Ohio River. All the White
Cap outrages OF the last five years in Indiana
have been perpetrated in the counties Of that
State upon the same river. The country is Of
the same rich and productive character in both
States. but il is shockingly evident that the
people and conditions in that part Of Ohio are
similar 70 those in the White Cap region Of
Indiana. 1t is a retrograding population that
repulses immigration. isweakened by constant
intermarriage among few families, and has
lost respect for the laws because they have not
been fearlessly administered!
The people Of Indiana have tamely allowed
whole counties to be terrorized for years by
the White CAPS. 1t seems not reasonable to
suppose that another such weakened Gov
ernment cnn be found among the States. 1t is
more likely that the white-capped night riders
will get their quetus in Ohio. We would re-
spectfully suggest to Messrs. SHERMAN. Nc.
