The German Emperor at Play.

In an anonymous book on the Emper-
or Williams entoruage, which has just
been published in Berlin. occurs the
following passage:
OF the life of the Emperor and his
suite on board the HohenZollern, the
chatter of the sailors has disclosed some
facts which may be given here. The
Emperor hobnobS with individual mem
bers of his suite as though they were
his equals. In many respects he is the
type of a German corps student. He is
fond of lively company and harmless
pleasures. On one of these tours he
often took his suite to a retired spot
and there the sea news could bear wit
ness that the ruler of a mighty empire
and his companions would take off
their shoes and socks to paddle in the
shallow water and sling stones along
the surface of the sea. The sailors,
too, have to- contribute to the enter
tainment of their master. Some OF
them are good acrobats and conjurers;
While another, dressed in girls cloth
ing, wins great applause for his anus
ing songs. The Emperor often ar
ranges handicap races among his men,
and gives medals as prizes, suitably in

The confession of young butcher and
the boy Irving Mann of the killing of
farmer Schofield emphasizes the value
of the old maxim, that the truth is
the best weapon of defense. butcher
says Schofield was pursuing his wife
and stepson TO kill them, that the old
man had a gun in his hands and drew
it up to aim at the woman, when he,
butcher. fired and killed Schofield. The
boy Mann confirms the story in a
statement made apart from butcher.
The circumstances all indicate that
butcher and the boy speak the truth
substantially. But if these youths had
at the outset told this story and not
have agreed upon a fabrication how
much better it would have been. Had
they Immediately upon the killing gone
to the officers of the law and stated
exactly what had happened they would
by this time have been free and not
under grave suspicion. Time and again
in homicides has it been demonstrated
that the innocent or justified, by con-
cealing nothing would have conserved
the cause of justice and their own in
terests.

The nude San Francisco press is now
discussing the momentous question
whether society should receive with
open arms that piece of damaged goods,
Mrs. Bradbury. because of the absolu-
ton her husband has given her. There
are differing views expressed, but the
large majority of women interviwed by
the yellow press upon this subject fail
to perceive how Mrs. Bradbury's char
acter has been restored by matrimonial
whitewash, and very sensibly reply:
This woman cannot be received in
good social circles and placed alongside
made whole and washed whittier than
snow She deliberately took moral lep-
rosy upon her, defied the laws of God
and man, scoffed at social codes, and
however. repentant now she must bear
her punishment as a sincere penitent
should" ?" Now let it be hoped, for the
sake of common decency. that such an
swers will close the nasty question and
induce the nude press to drop the whole
subject For however plated and su-
gar coated, however adroitly treated by
word jugglers, it is not the kind of
reading matter that self-respecting peo-
pie and considerate parents wish the
plastic mind of youth to come into con-
tact with. as it must if the filthy mat

The wired story Of an agreement Of
Emperor William and the Czar for an
offensive alliance agal England is
probably without foundation. The dis
patch comes from Berlin, and is very
likely intended to bear credits and ex-
alt' Germany in the eyes of the lesser
powers. 1t is scarcely thinkable that
the Car would so far proceed in agree
ment as to offer a distinct affront to
Great Britain which in all this Eastern
business has steadfastly stood the
friend of Russia, and done nothing TO
justify any secret plotting against Eng
land On the other hand it may be
said that the Car of Russia will avail
ambition of Russia to advance towards
the Indian boundary But the present
Car was brought up to peace, taught
to avoid war, and all his life has de-
clared his desire to remain at peace
with all the world, whereas any such
agreement as is reported would certain
ly lead to a rupture of friendly rela-
tions with England The fact is dwelt
upon in the dispatches that during the
visit of the German Emperor to Rus
sia the St. Petersburg press changed
its tone to one complimentary to Ger
many But that was simply what was
to have been expected. The press in
Russia is under a censorship and the
Car would not have permitted his
guest to be insulted, or even disturbed
by any press expressions distasteful
to him. 1t is not at all likely that the
relations between Russia and Germany
are any more or less cordial to-day
than prior to the recent visit.
