The Kaiser.
a cable from Hamburg says:

Emperor William while coming from
Hanover to this city in an automobile ran
a race with an express train on line
whose tracks ran parallel with the high
way, hoping to prove the contention that
the automobile would win in such a con-
test.
HE maintained a speed OF sixty miles
an hour until, to his chagrin, the road
made a curve and compelled him TO
abandon the race. Near Cole tire burst,
and the automobile tilted until it was al
most overturned"
Let US hope that there is some exaggera-
ton here. The kaisers life is at all times
too important to his people to be risked
in a reckless way. but at this time in
particular 1t is doubly important. The out
side world shares with Germany solicitude
for his welfare Affairs in world politics
are In that shape where his hand Is pow-
erful. and were it withdrawn for young
er and untried one serious consequences
might follow. Speed tests of automobiles
should be left to experts. or to gilded loaf
ers in the hunt for amusement.

Collegiate Law Breaking.

In certain of the larger educational insti-
tutions of this country a feeling prevails
among the undergraduates, in consequence
OF persistent traditions, that It is smart to
engage in vandalism. Generations of youths
have stolen the property of citizens. defaced
walls and doors. painted statues and other
wise caused damage in order that the COM
munity might be led to believe that the
college man is devil of fellow. afraid
OF nothing and a respecter OF no law. Just
what end is served by the maintenance of
these traditions passes the understanding
Of the common mortal. But the idea clings
to life. despite the modern tendency to
condemn hazing and all such forms OF collie

Arnnistice.

1t Is gratifying to learn today that ne
gotiations for an armistice between Russia
and Japan are now proceeding, with the
view of preventing. II possible. another
great battle in Manchuria in advance of the
peace meeting. Inasmuch as the contending
powers have agreed to meet in conference
in Washington on the LIST of August, another
general engagement, with slaughter of thou
sands of men on both sides, would be no
less than murder on wholesale SCALE 1t
would be an objectionable crime In the
eyes of civilization, and would stamp the
power responsible for the failure to seek a
cessation of hostilities as worthy of the last
Ing denunciation of the world.
1t may be that neither power wishes to
assume the attitude of seeking truce. On
Japan's side such step might seem to
her to SAVIOR of anxiety lest the succession
of victories was about to be broken. On
Russia's side II might appear to be con-
fession of weakness In the field. In such cir
cumstances 1t is clearly incumbent upon the
United States, If no other power stands
ready to propose an armistice, to offer It's
good Offices to effect such an end just as 1t
did in the more delicate matter of the
peace conference. And 1t may be assumed

Loomis Exonerared; Bowen Dismissed.

The accusations against Mr.. Loomis, now
declared to be false and cruelty slanderous,
which Mr. Bowen has personally and ac-
lively promoted, have had unQuestionably
an injurious effect upon the diplomatic
prestige of the United States in South
America. If anything can fully restore
that prestige and reduce to a minimum the
evil effects of the ISLANDERS upon the reputa-
ton of the United States in the southern
republics, it is the thorough manner in
which the whole affair has been investi-
gated, and particularly the findings of Sec
rotary Taft and the President. The sum-
mary dismissal of Minister Bowen from
the service of the government seems to
have been the only conclusion of the case
compatible with the demands of strict JUS
tice and of good administration.
1t appears to have been established be-
ycnd a doubt that the minister of the
United States at Caracas, a place notorious
for Its scandals and intrigues, especially
affecting the United States, busted himself
for a long period in an effort not only to
prove against his predecessor charges of
corrupt and objectionable conduct while
in office, but to spread the reports of those
charges broadcast before this country and
Venezuela. When he reported to the State
made concerning Mr.. Loomis, Mr.. Bowen
did his duty. But his duty ended there
In such a case his position required him
to be merely a medium of communication.
Instead, he seems to have constituted HIM
self prosecutor. and even a malicious and
INSCRIPTIONS prosecutor, kent upon prov
ing the charges by hook or crook. And he
stepped beyond even the line that is sup
posedly drawn around an official prosecutor
and sought the trial of the case by news
paper, in fragrant disobedence of the spe-
cifc orders of the President.
1t is to be hoped that the thorough VEN
tilation of this affair will have the effect
of clearing the atmosphere. 1t should
demonstrate to the world that the United
States is bent upon learning the facts
gardng the conduct of its diplomatic rep
resentatives and determined to hold them
infiexibly up to the highest standards. The
finding that Mr.. Loomis was indiscreet in
his business dealings in Venezuela, coupled
with full and hearty exoneration from all
charges of corrupt or dishonest action,
shows the wide scope of the official inquiry,
and the painstaking minuteness with which
the judicial scales have been in this case
balanced. The summary and deserved dis
missal of Mr.. Bowen. after weeks of pa
tient inquiry. as we'll as the mild admoni-
ton of the capable assistant secretary of
state, should have a good effect upon the
diplomatic service in reminding all mer,-
bers of their grave responsibilities and OF
the high standards which will be applied
in passing judgment upon their official and
personal conduct.

that this government has. in fact, taken

that this government has. In fact, taken
that step.
1t may be difficult to arrange for the sud-
den checking of the hostile movements in
Manchuria. 1t Is no easy task, without tn
volving complications affecting the peace
plans. to suddenly halt military operation
covering several hundred square miles of
territory and engaging possibly million
soldiers. But, however great the difficulties,
however delicate the situation, it Is pre-
eminently the duty Of the neutral powers
to effect this end If possible.
In the old days there was some excuse for
fighting after the institution of peace nego-
tiations. Even as late as 1915 a battle was
fought In this country after the conclusion
of peace between the belligerents. The
treaty of Client was signed by representa-
tives of the United States and Great Britain
December "a. 1914, and the battle of New
Orleans was fought January 8. 1915. But
that was before the days of the electric
telegraph and the oceanic cable The news
of the treaty did not reach these shores
until February, the treaty being submitted
to the Senate for ratification on the 10Th
of that month, eight weeks after It's sigma
ture at Client.
With the telegraph reaching from Wash
ington, Tokyo and St. Petersburg to the
very front of the fighting line, orders for
the arrangement of an armistice between
the hostile forces In the field might be COM
municated to Marshal Oyama and General
Linevitch within six hours from the mo-
ment of agreement Neglect of a chance to
bring about this truce would impose upon
either Japan or Russia tremendous respon-
siblity.

giate idlocy. An instance was reported re-
Gently from Harvard. which shows how
tenacious Is the doctrine that the collegian
IS man above law and that his criminal
pranks are clever and worthy Of applause
A party of four seniors broke into the
house formerly occupied by Bishop Phillips
Brooks and attempted to mako or with
the bronze tablet which Harvard Univer-
sity had prepared for presentation to a
Virginia theological institution. A fresh
man. doubtless desIrous of thwarting
seniors game because 1t was an enter
prise of upper classmen. notified the police
that burglars were in the Phillips Brooks
house. and descent upon the place fol-
lowed. One of the four seniors was cap
tured.
There has been merry row over the at
fair eyer since. Now the captured senior
has resigned. and the society In whose In
terests 1t is believed he was working In his
burglarious expedition has been investi-
gated by the university authorities. It is
intimated that this society has turned over
all its records and property to the faculty,
and that general shakeup of the fraterni-
ties and societies will result In the autumn.
Then perhaps will come change. Univer-
sity authorities. copying after Harvard's
example, may strike out on a new line, to
establish and rigidly maintain the doctrine
that with college education is given a
training in the laws of mine and thine, and
that a collegian, while INDUCED in certain
exuberances attributable to and excusable
in youth. must respect the rights of other
people. That would be departure COM
mending itself to the world at large as a
stroke Of civilization

Graft and Grafters.

The pessimist has said in his heart graft
is everywhere. If you turn to the east you
find it; if you turn to the west you find 1t;
if you turn TO the north you find it; and
if You turn TO the south. 10, 1t is there.
And you cannot get rid of It, 1t inheres
in our Institutions and practices.
One is forced to agree to the first Of these
propositions. The last few years have told
an amazing story: and the disclosures con-
tinue. Arkansas furnishes the latest chap
ter. Indictments have been found against
prominent members OF the state legislature
charging the taking of money for the en-
actment of laws, and the particulars al
legged show methods that long have been
employed in more prominent localities. The
corruptionists vary little. If any. In their
work They buy in one section by the same
processes they employ in another The
brber's philosophy, that every man has his
price and needs only to be approached ac-
cording to his humor, directs the game
everywhere.
Is the second proposition true? Does
graft inhere in our institutions? 1t would
be strange. indeed. II here and there a
shady individual did not appear in our leg
islative bodies, national, state and city.
Our political campaigns are conducted with
a good deal of spirit, and compromises in
nominating conventions are often the re-
suit. Unknown and untried men are thus
suddenly brought to the front and sub
Jected TO tests and temptations to which
some prove unequal The briber with the
bill he is pushing soon scents his quarry,
and the chase Is soon over
But one CRATER does not make corrupt
legislative body. One vote does not pass
a blu which needs to be pushed by repre-
hensible means. To hail graft as trium-
plant and ineradicable is to impeach the
majority; TO confess widespread rottenness
and failure. No such admission should ever
be made. Vigilance, of course, is necessary.
1t always is. But 1t is especially necess-
sary at this time. as interests which de-
pend upon legislation of one kind or an
other are so varied and so heavily capital
lied. The only policy Is sharp lookout
and a quick and determined prosecution OF
all offenders as soon as they are exposed
and the cases can be prepared

Value Of Hard Work.
From the Boston Globe.

All the records of history and all the
fects of common experience support the
statement that men do not die OF hard
work, but that Woodworking men who shun
dissipation and avoid all waste OF vitality
live the longest. 1t was said of William
Pitt that he died of old age in his forty
seventh year, worn out. not by hard work.
though he worked hard. but by inattention
to his health and by unphilosophic worry
and chagrin. President Roosevelt today in
his forty-seventh year displays the exuber-
ant energy of youth. not because he leads
an easy life, but because. while working
harder probably than any other officer of
the government, he pays. as he has always
paid. close attention to his health. and
avoids the means Of weakness and debility.
