PROTOCOLS AND PAYMENTS.

The latest phase Of the Venezuela embroil-
ment seems, through the straightforward con-
duct Of the British Government to be reaching
! a satisfactory disposition few days ago It
was summarized in the phrase, mo protocols
no payments" The case was this: Under the pro-
| tocols OF February 13, Venezuela was to pay to
the claimant powers 80 per cent Of her GUS
toms receipts, pending the reference Of the
case to The Hague and the decision of the tri-
bunal. Also, the powers were to prepare pro-
tocols for the submission Of the case to The
Hague When more than a month had passed
since the making Of that agreement, and there
was no sign Of the making Of those latter pro-
tocols. some rumors got afoat that the powers
did not mean TO prepare any, but would try to
settle without going to The Hague. Meantime,
the date for the first payment by Venezuela to
the powers approached and the Venezuelan
Government did not think 1t ought TO make
the payment until the protocols were prepared,
or at least until 1t had assurance that they were
TO be prepared.
Morally, there was much to be said in support
of this Venezuelan view. If she was to fulfil her
obligations by making this payment, the powers
should fulfil theirs by preparing the protocols
and getting the case before the tribunal at
| The Hague. Technically, it was not at all GER
| tain that Venezuela would be justified in with
| holdlng payment The protocoI OF + eDrudry 10
| did not, we believe, make her payments cOndi-
| tional upon the preparation Of the protocols,
nor did 1t specify the precise time within which
| the protocols were to be prepared. 1t may he
| regretted that there was not some such stipula-
| ton. 1t would have been proper to declare that
| the protocols should be prepared and the case
| thus be submitted to The Hague within a GER
| tain time. Since that was not done, It Is diff
cult to see how Venezuela could make the delay
| Of the powers an excuse for default by herself.
| Nevertheless, the powers certainly seem to be
under a strong moral obligation to proceed with
| the work according to agreement promptly.
| That obligation is recognized by Great Brit
| ain, and assurance is given that she will pro-
| cped with her protocol and get her case to The
| Hague. 1t would obviously be an injustice to
Venezuela to delay the procedure unduiy. 1t
would be, moreover. injustice to the powers
| themselves, for 1t would subject them TO sus-
picions OF bad faith at least OF fear TO sub
NIT their claims to an impartial tribunal. AS
has frequently been pointed out, these Venez-
ueIan claims are precisely the sort Of thing best
suited to AdipdtcattQn at The HRRA 70 r.

CHECKING BAD LANGUAGE.

Some comment was excited the other day by
the severe sentence imposed upon couple OF
Brooklyn women for the public use of bad IAN
guage. Instead Of merely inng them a small
sum- the justice sent them to prison for q con-
siderable term. At the same time he made 1t
known that he was determined TO discourage
the use Of vile language in the streets, and
that he would impose heavy penalties upon all
persons convicted before him Of the offence.
That Justice was quite right, and 1t might
we'll be wished that others would follow his ex-
ample. The use of profane and obscene Ian
guage in public is a great evil. The streets, the
parks and all places of popular resort are In
tested with it. Those traditional swearers
Iongshoremen and truck drivers are not the
only sinners; but the latter to he found
among nearly all sorts and conditions of men,
and among women, too as the incident
cited demonstrates. II is literal fact that one
cannot go far upon a freQuented thoroughfare
without having his ears offended with language
unfit to be heard by decent people. There
ought to be protection against indecent sounds
as we'll as against indecent sights and acts.
Nor is the evil confined to ruff1ans and harri-
dams 1t is unhappily true that there is q con-
siderable prevalence of bad language among
men-and women, toO-of otherwise decent
morals and Of much refinement and culture
Especially has there been in recent years
really startling increase in the use Of one GER
tain expletive, to the thoughtful and reverent
mind perhaps the most shocking Of all. To
! take the name Of God in vain in any form is
bad enough But worst Of all, and now un-
! happily most common, is it to take it IN vain
! in the form Of the name of Him Whom even
sometimes ribald playwright described as
A soft. meek patient. humble, tranquil spirit.
The first true gentleman that ever breathed.
| 1t would be in the interest not only Of piety,
! but Of common decency, to put q check upon
this incessant profane bandying of the name Of
Jesus; and upon all evil language.

TO be a 10 per cent increase in wages and some
shortening of hours to the comparatively few
who are employed by the day. These are mat
ters which the public will regard with sattsfac-
tion especialIy since an increase in the cost OF
coal to the consumer in consequence of the IN

mand OF the men that coal mined shall be palu

FOCUSING HERTZ WAVES.

The story which the cable brings from Berlin
about the invention of apparatus for conceh-
ira ting Hertz waves into compact BEAM llhe
that from q searchlight, is credible. II the man
who is now credited with the feat has not actu-
ally succeeded, 1t is safe to say that some one
else will succeed; that is, if, upon mature CON
sideratiOn. the achievement is really deIn2'leu
Hertz himself demonstrated the feasibility or
the operation In fact one Of the most lmpoF-
tant features OF his work was his demohslTA
ton that the eleCtTo-mag agnetic radiation mto
the ether from metal conductor could be re-
fracted and reflected as light can he- Mar
conf attempted to perfect Farabolc hiirroi
for This purpose. but owing to a combination
of reasons, abandoned his experiments before
reaching results which satisfied Eim. That cir
cumstance. though, does not prove the imprac-
ticability Of the idea 1t merely shows that ne
did not carry the effort far enough.
Having come to believe that comparatively
small part of the energy which is sent out
sideways from the vertical wire Is concerned III
wireless telegraphy, and that most of the trans
mission is effected in or along the ear1h, Mar
conf may have thought it hardly worth While
further to try TO control the former. HIS great
desire was to increase the distance over Whlcn
messages could be sent and he hit upon other
means of accomplishing that object. II all or
the waves went by a single route and 1t were
possibly to apply the focusing device so as 10
affect them ALL unquestonably greater pene-
tration would be secured with q given output OF
power If on the other hand, there were two
routes of unequal value, and If concentration
could be brought about only along the one OF
least Importance, it is uncertain whether any
marked economy or increase in efficiency would
| follow the perfection Of the proposed reflector.
Even so, an incentive to continued experiment.
is afforded by the possibility OF developing a
new method of insuring secrecy. ordinarily
the waves from transmitter spread out in all
directions. If they could be projected tow
! ard single spot, as the rays Of a ship
sparchlight are and If the aim was conducted
with proper precision messages could be read
| only along a narrow path. In army and navy
| signalling and in other fields Of activity this
system might prove convenient. Less eXpen-
sive instruments would be required than II
| tuning were resorted to, and situations would
| often arise where distance could be sacrificed
TO privacy without harm. The new device
may prove useful after all, therefore.

"BTNDING."

Our npighbor The Sun still questions the
theory that treaty which is not self-eXecutlng
as municipal law be a valid international
obligation, Washington in his famous an
swer to the House in 1895 held Jays treaty TO
be- though it could not become operative with
out legislation, and asks:
How can a reciprocity treaty be binding in
the international sense when 1t pretends TO do
what cannot be done by treaty alone?
Was the treaty of 1903 purchasing Louisiana
binding? It promised to pay money which Con-
gress had to appropriate before it could be car
ried out If the House had refused the money,
would not France still have had a valid claim
to enforce If it thought the bargain worth en-
forcing? Was the treaty ending the Spanish
war binding? What would have been the situ-
alton after the ceded territories had been trans
ferred and the treaty ratified, if the House had
failed to appropriate the money the treaty
called for? In 1871 the United States made q
treaty to adjust fishery questions with Great
Britain. Six years later the Halifax award OF
50, 800, 900 to Great Britain was made. was that
a binding treaty, promising beforehand to pay
the award? 1t was here considered unjust and
excessive and agitation was begun against
payment but the House recognized the validity
of the treaty and in 1878 appropriated the sum
required. The law permits four year contracts
for government WORK. ne 1OSiOIuce bepdIl-
ment, for instance can make g four year con-
tract for carrying mails. A new Congress
NAV not like contract authorized by its prede
cessor 1t has the power TO strike the item for
it from the supply bill, just as 1t could refuse
TO pay for Louisiana or to adapt the tariff to
reciprocity treaty. Is the postoftice contract
binding?
The true answer to The Suns question Is to
be found in the meaning Of the word binding
when we speak of reciprocity treaty as bind
ing In the international sense. 1t is binding in
that it is of moral obligation. A nations faith
is pledged to keep the cOmpacts which the con-
stitution in the most general terms authorizes
the treaty making power independent Of other
departments to conclude Aggreved nations
could not we'll enforce bargains which failed
to keep; for we strong, and none Of the Obli
cations of International law are binding in the
sense that some court will issue writ to en-
force them. But If the United States was
petty nation 1t would find it's diplomatic bar
gains on any subject binding" whether the
promises were self-e1ecutng or not. display
of force would maintain their validity in inter-
national law II stronger nations earnestly
wanted them fulfilled. The power 10 bind is
not necessarily the power to enforce. In almost
every department of government there are au-
thorities with the right TO make promises which
some coordinate authority must exercise Juris-
diction TO carry out. Those promises are valid,
however and bind the government In law and
morals. The enforcing authority may have the
power to repudiate them, but 1t has not the
right It's functions are not granted tQs agbk
