FRIVOLOUS CHARGES

1t was good that Senator Hoar Wig
orously opposed, Monday, the effort to
postpone longer the confirmation by
the Senate of the appointment of Phi
lender c. Knox as attorney general of
the United States. The delay had al
ready caused more or less criticism
and had been. it is said, very vexa-
tious to President Roosevelt and to
the cabinet The trouble had been
caused by so-called charges against
Mr.. Knox made by the Antitrust
League. 1t was alleged that Mr..
Knox, prior to his entrance into the
cabinet, had been identified with some
Of the great trusts which had violat-
ed the law.
The Senate committee on judiciary
having looked into the matter voted
unanimously, Monday morning, that
the charges were not definite enough
to warrant consideration, and affirmed
a former action of the committee
which recommended to the Senate ia
vcrable action on the nomination.
MI. IlOdIr CudII man Oh the COIlllllI-
tee on judiciary, when the Canal
Treaty had been ratified, moved to
proceed with the consideration Of nom
nations, and when Senator Jones
moved that all the papers bearing on
the Knox matter be printed for the
consideration of the Senate, vigor-
ously opposed it. Mr.. Hoar said the
notion was revolutionary and in viola
ton Of the presidents of the Senate
Mr.. Hoar said further that the charges
against Mr.. Knox We're frivolous, triv-
ia! and unworthy of being brought be
fore the Senate. The charges were ut
terly unsubstantiated, and the prom
Use that proof would be submitted had
not been fulfilled. Happily Senator
Hoars opinion was shared by others
and when the viva voce vote was ia
ken the only voice heard against ratif-
cation was that of Senator Jones.

pointed to investigate the present meth
DDS of dealing with Juvenile offenders.
Mr.. Tomlinson reported that the com

commended that a permanent committee

humiliation of presenting such cruel
facts to the world.
The deaths of white persons in the
six months numbered 12,441, of whom
1O,11S were children. To children, par
ticularly, who had been accustomed to
the free life of the weld, the restrictions
of the concentration camps have proven
most disastrous The death rate per
annum among children, based on the
September returns from the concentra-
ton camps, was 433 to the thousand.
The story of October is worse still,
for in that month the rate increased
to $40. In November it was 469
This frightful slaughter of children
is appalling alike to those who believe
that England was justified in under
taking to subjugate the Beers and to
those who from the first, have held
that the war was cruel and unneces-
sary. A considerable proportion of
Americans could not see how England
could very well avoid the war or stop

~The British government proposes to
move some of the camps to the sea-
coast and to take other steps to bet
ter the conditions that now prevail.
For that purpose all due credit should
be given. Yet it is pitiful that a sys-
TEN so fatal to the women and chill
dren of the enemy should ever have
been established. or that once estab-
lished, it was not modified or aban-
doned the moment its consequences
became apparent.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

For several years European eyes
have been turned toward the United
States as the coming banker nation.
A striking instance of the extension
of this financial leadership comes from
Peru. The Chamber of Deputies of
that republic has passed a gold stan
dard law, which had already passed
the Senate. Undoubtedly the example
of the United States in declaring for
the gold standard by the election of
Mckinley in 1896 and again in 1900,
both by the act of March IA of that
year and by the result of the Presi-
Dental election, has been a strong In
centive to Peru's course; and this,
again. Is of international significance,
for Peruvian silver coinage is a large
part of the currency of the Latin
American nations, not only on the
South American continent, but on our
own.-New York Press.
The case of Mrs. BONNIE, whom
Washington jury has acquitted of muir
der, after a trial as thorough as it was
tedious, is an interesting one. Circum-
stances at first made the prospect seem
extremely dark for the accused woman.
A man was shot with his own pistol
while he and Mrs. Bonine were togeth-
er in his room, and she, instead of call
ing for help, slipped away and tried to
Il II.
and then confessed that she had gone
to his room imprudently, but for a
purpose that was entirely proper, and
asserted that while she was trying to
take the pistol from him II exploded
accidentally, and he was killed. The
story seemed fantastic, yet patient in
yestigation including the much con-
temned expert testimony, established
its truth so nearly TO a certainty that
the jury found little difficulty in be
lieving it and acqutting the prisoner
