In the Filipino ranks.
The dispatch may prove to be untrue, vet
is beiievable until It Is effectively discount
ed. 1t is in accord with the circumstances
understood to exist. While depioring the
spectacle Of assassination which 1t presents
1t is to be hoped that the insurgents are in
the disorganized condition suggested by this
incident. Today's account of the fighting
south of Manila shows that the army under
General Lawton Is having a very hard time
dislodging tho rebels. The hot weather is
telling upon the troops and they are finding
the way through the isthmus between the
bay and the lagoon exceedingly difficult
to clear. The news Of SO tragical q dissen-
sion at the insurgent headquarters can not
fail to nerve them to greater efforts and to
dispIrit the native troops.

A Question for the Police.

TIUnl TUG OhIcnRO ONrOn1cIe.
Il have license from the city to howl as
much as like" answered vegetable ped
dler to south side housewife who remon-
strated with him for his ear-splitting yells.
Is this contention Of the huckster well
founded? Does the taking out of ped
dler's license carry with 1t the right of the
peddler to disturb the peace and quiet of an
entire neighborhood? The question is worth
the attention of the city law department
and of the police authorities. Let an or
binary citizen go yelling through the streets
making public nuisance Of himself and he
will quickly find himself In the hands of the
police. Does the possession Of a peddier' s
license exempt it's possessor from the PEN
alties for disorderly conduct which are en-
forced against other men?

The Pretense of Secrecy at The Hague

when the frternatio conference as
sembied at The Hague and decided to close
the doors to the representatives of the
press Inc star expressed the opinion that
this action would not prevent the world
from Earning practically without delay,
all the important proceedings of the bodv
1t pointed to the experience of the Amari
can newspaper men with the executive
sessions Of the United States Senate ga
evidence of the ease with which the inner
workings of deliberative bodies behind
closed doors are disclosed. The latest in
tellgence from the conference in Holland
Verlhes this forecast precisely. At yes
terday's session the head of the Belgian
delegation moved to give the proceedings
to the public. inasmuch as certain docu-
ments had already been published in the
newspapers. His action was perhaps in
spired by pique, for 1t was accompanied by
a th1nly yelled accusation that the presi-
dent of the conference, NJ de Staal, had
aided In the leakage of the secrets AS
result of the debate which is described,
despite the barrier between the reporters
and the session, as being unusually acri-
mouious, 1t was resolved to furnish the
press with accounts of the proceedings of
the committees as well as Of the .plenary
sittings
This is wise decision, but 1t does not
go far enough. The doors should be thrown
open to the world. The conference Is en-
gagged in discussing a proposition Of the
broadcast purpose and the most CONSEQUENT
dal possibilities. The fact that it is not
likely to result in disarmament, either par
lal or complete, does not initiate against
its significance. The debate doubtless dis
closes much of the temper of the nations
rFy nd
ton. The world is attending an experience
meeting and the effect cannot fail to be for
good, even though it may not Immediately
adduce single tangible result. So there
are the best of reasons why the delibera-
tons should be conducted in the open, that
the shades of sentiment may be ascertained
and scrutinized. Should questions of rare
delicacy arrive involving the exchange Of
condolences affecting great policies and per-
haps leading to friction the doors might
well be closed for time. But the princi-
pal purpose of the conference is to discuss
proposition which affects every individual
member of every nation. 1t should not be
confined within the narrow limits Of a
mock-secret session.
As The Star noted at the beginning, thu
reporters on the ground are able easily to
read the results of each days session
They have cabled many interesting stories
about disagreements and proposals. They
have evidently formed lines of commune
cation with the inside so speedy of returns
and so accurate in delivery that the Bel
gians and perhaps others at the meeting
are nonplussed. The men who have been
badly quoted or misrepresented are anx-
ious to have the record Strengthened. The
time is propitious for motion by one of
the American delegates to supplement yes
terdays action by vote to throw open
the doors and play the game in the face
of all the world.

The Divine Right of Kings.

There should be no surprise over the
frank avowal Of one Of the German dele
gates to the peace conference that Emperor
William canno- accept the principle of gen.
eral arbitration because 1t involves neces-
sary surrender Of his divine right to rule
as he pleases without reference to other
powers. The entire course Of William III
since his accession has been in demonstra-
ton of this right. 1t would be in the high
est degree inconsistent for him to binl him
self TO submit his case to an umpire when
ever he ran counter TO some other nations
claims or rights or privileges. There Is to-
day no more peremptory representative OF
the ancient doctrine of absolute kingly pre-
rogative than Emperor William. Not even
the car OF all the Russias. with his abso-
lutism and his almost limitless resources,
is more emphaucally an exponent of the
divinity of the monarch. Nicholas Is known
to be of d mild temperament, and withal
much governed himself by his advisers.
William, on the contrary, Is confined by no
EIitaIloas. The fact that he is part Of
legislative government IN no wise seems to
restrict his own conception Of his preroga-
tive. He is intolerant OF the suggestion
that his advisers or his legislators may
shape the policies Of the empire without
reference to his personal commands or de-
sires. This trait, however, Is tempera-
mental 1t does not necessarily run in the
course Of German sovereignty. Williams
father was by no means the man to pro-
claim to such a conference as that row in
session that he could not accept the doc
trine of adjustment by a neutral power.
This attitude was aptly described by Sir
Julian Pauncefote in the debate, according
TO the reports, as sayoring of statesman
ship far from modern 1t is. in fact, ex-
pressly medieval. The day of the personal
monarch and the divine right of the king
has passed Save in Germany, as exemplf-
fed in the person of an able but conceited
monarch, 1t is to be found in vogue only
among the savages and barbarians who
revere the leaders who excel in strength
and strategy. But even among these latter
II Is the custom TO accept the leadership of
the stronger Of two contestants for power
The German attitude toward the Samoan
affair is in strange conflict, indeed, with the
theory of the emperor. Nataafa is not a
descendant of the late king. Were the laws
OF primogeniture and heredity to be applied
TO the controversy in the islands Malietoa
Tanu would clearly be entitled to the king
ship without reference to his formal cleo
ton Would Emperor William be willing
TO recognize Malietoa on the basis of the
doctrine which he proclaims as the reason
for rejecting the general arbitration pro-
posal? On what ground then, is he dis
posed to advocate Mataafa, rank out
slider" in preference to the son and heir of
the departed monarch? The divine right"
IL fragile fabric II ii cannot be stretched
to cover all sorts and conditions of king
ship.

lie opinion is being aroused and that the
inevitable reform is close at hand. 1t is, OF
course, more difficult to evict the trolley
after its establishment than to prevent Its
entrance That Is why The Star has SO
strenuously and continuously urged the re-
fusal to allow the system to gain foot
hold, even though suffering a prolonged
continuance of the horse cars in preference
to the acquisition of rapid transit coupled
with the dangers and the disagreeable fea-
lures of the trolley. Having kept the over
head wire out of local service it has been
comparatively easy to set the standard
high. and now Washington is about to real
lie the blessings of good fight well won
in the form of a uniform system of conduit
construction on every line in the local ur-
ban area.
1t is amusing to note the sophistry with
which the defenders of the trolley plead
their case. In last Sundays Chicago Inter-
Ocean appears a long article telling how
foolish are the fears of the people who be-
lieve that the trolley is a menace and a
nuisance. According to this authority the
construction is an ornament rather than an
unsightly obstruction, while the wires are
never known to contribute to the danger Of
firemen. Not one word Is said about the
GUESSING OF OlIler wires upon tneSe nlSn1y
charged conductors No mention is made Of
, the scores of lives sacrificed in the va
rious cities of this country to the trolley
current finding its way into the street
through iron poles, awning frames, broken
telegraph or telephone lines Indeed, 1t Is
even asserted unbiushingly that the current
used in the trolley system is not dangerous
to human life. A very restricted list of
witnesses Is given in this connection to
prove that the trolley is the one thing above
all others every American city should de-
mand. These urgings probably represent
great deal of uneasiness on the part Of the
trolley managers. The splendid example of
washington today serves as the nucleus for
a crusade against these makeshift methods
throughout the country which will eyentu-
ally result in sweeping underground of
every form of electrical conductor of what
ever nature.
Tine fact that the newspaper organ chosen
as medium of the views noted in favor
of the trolley is owned by Mr.. Yerkes, who
hkeWlse owns most of Chicago's trolley
roads, does not lend convincing force to
the plea for the antiquated system which
Mr.. icrkes affects and which the Inter-
ocean proclaims as blessing to the COM
munity and a Joy forever

Did Not Need Strong Denial.

Now that positive denial has been given
to the charges Of atrocities committed by
our soldiers in the Philippines. 1t is peril
nent to note that the denial arouses but
little interest, for the simple reason that
nobody displayed the slightest tendency to
believe the tales In question. They created
scarcely ripple Of attention, and hardly
any Indignation, as no one, apparently,
thought them worth even the trouble Of
getting angry over. Our men have shown
too much genuine courage and gallantry
to warrant the supposition that they could
develop into semi-barbarians at a mo-
ment's notice.
