The Chief to Martha Phillips.

Martha Phillips was quite an inter esting character in Police Court thls morning. She was what the lawyers call a swift witness. but as she was testifying In her own behait her sWitt- ness was not challenged.
 She not only was swift enough 10 contradict Chief of Police Walters in his testimony about her conduct this morning, but she went further and said that when she spoke to Chief Walters when he was in the act of arresting Lythia Hayes for disorderly conduct the chief turned to her and said:
 You haven't got a d--d thing to do with It."
 The chief admitted on the stand that he said what the negro woman quoted him as saying.
 Policeman Holt not long ago was se- verely reprimanded by Mayor Atkins for using such language to negro woman while making an arrest.
 The trouble between Martha Phillips and Chief Walters occurred this morn ing when the latter attempted to ar rest the Hayes woman. The Phillips woman, 1t appears, "butted in" ana said that it was "a shame" that Lythia Hayes had to be arrested for conduct ing a boarding house when she was merely boarding her relatives. The chief turned to her and, according to the evidence of both, made the above remark.
 Martha Phillips was fined $5 for "butting in" and the Hayes woman was fined $10 for resisting an officer and $5 for disorderly conduct.

Diplomacy and Whist.

Diplomacy, like whist. is mostly 81
lence.
In this crisp sentence the new am
bassador to the greatest republic
from the most unmitigated autocracy
epitomizes the methods of the mod
ern envoy. A world of suggestion
lies In that simile like whist" many
hands; partnership for the purposes
of the game only; shrewd specula-
tion as to the cards in the opposing
hands; cross-fire between partners
whereby each plays out Of his weak
ness into the strength of his asso-
ciate, and both are gamers; and al
ways silence"
This is, indeed, fair picture of
today's diplomacy. Twenty years ago
the simile would not have held. For
twenty years ago the players would
have dared to Squeeze the deal, !"
deny the trump, and take the
tricks whether they had won them
or not. Diplomatic whist players of
this school still survive, but they do
not get in the good games. The world
has progressed that far.
The next step will be a transfer
of the cards from diplomats to gov
ernments. In few years ambas-
sadors and ministers will be altogeth-
er what they are now for the most
part-messengers The custom now
is to transmit dispatches through the
country's own envoy and receive them
through the envoy OF the addressee

straightforwardness it will be invari.

Some nations will always try te
cheat. It is in the blood But the
others can keep the game straight il
they choose. When they do choose
and the day is not so far distant
we shall have an international

The Case of Powers.

The transfer of the case of Caleb
Powers from the courts of Kentucky
to those of the United States, what
ever issues of State sovereignty it
may involve, is unmistakably a step
toward justice Every student of the
lawless events which led to the inau-
guration Of Goebel as governor of
Kentucky, his subsequent assassina-
ton, and the conviction Of the Repub-
lican secretary of state as a principal
In the murder, must have realized
long ago that the judicial proceedings
in the State courts were so interviewer
with State politics as to expose all
the findings to palpable doubt
No United States court is or can
be open to those influences. If
Powers is guilty, therefore, and the
finding Of the State court was sus-
tanned by evidence, the cause Of the
State will be fully served. But if he
is innocent, and the proceedings of
the State court were colored by
politics, a vastly greater good will
be accomplished in the discharge
from custody of man unjustly ac-
cused and unjudicially condemned.
Anger at the delay of the courts
and indignation at the escape of many
criminals from punishment abundant
| ly earned is rousing the United States
to an extreme watchfulness Of its
criminal courts. Caleb Powers, if
guilty, must be made to suffer for bis
crime as inexorably as any other
criminal. But If he is innocent ii
is more important that he should be
set free and the State make such res
titution to him for the torture oi
these past FIVE years as lies in its
power, than that one hundred ether
men, all guilty, should be brought te
justice. No nation is ever so power.

its meanest citizen to justice.

THE SWARTZELL AFFAIR.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
AS an al1mnus of the Central High
school I wish to protest against the
removal of Mr.. Wilson from Central and
the filing of his place by Mr.. SWartZen,
formerly of the Eastern High School.
AS anyone who has been following this
matter knows. this suggestion was made
at the recent meeting of the Board OF
Education at which the situation at the
Eastern High School was discussed
After deciding that it would be best
to take Mr.. Swartzell from the Eastern
High School an institution with an
average attendance of about 3oo, the
suggestion was made and seriously con-
sidered that he be placed in charge of
the Central High School, with an aver
age attendance of 800. Having proved
conclusively that Mr.. SwartZell is una
bic to satisfactorily handle the smallest
high school in the city, 1t is proposed
that he be placed in charge Of the larg-
est one. and a man who has worked
well and faithfully principal of the
| latter school be given charge of a
school where, 10 say the least. the edu-
cational possibilities are fewer and the
| chance for the display of executive abil-
| ity limited
| we are unable to see any justice or
reason in such a change. Is 1t the
practice of the board to reduce men
| who work faithfully and satisfactorily
] and promote those whose work proves
| unsa tisfa ct ory-unsat tisfactory. at least.
to the parents Of the children who at
| tend the school? Is it probable that the
| former principal of Eastern would be
! able 10 give satisfaction at Central,
where there IS need for much more tact,
and where there are nearly four times
as many unruly boys to be handle6f
| If Mr. Swartzelrs removal to Central
| a DrOmOIlOD
| there miaht be some degree of reason In
/ the change, but under the existing cir
! cIIn1stances we submit that the transfer

A Lid and a Boom.

GRATED with a Presidential boom.
Mr.. Jerome as an anti-corruptionist
has often been compared 20 Governor
Folk. His habit Of saying exactly
what he thinks has made him sort
OF "enfant terrible" in practical poll
tics, but has also made him very
solid with large number of people
who rather like this sort of variation
from the rule Of other politicians
Mr.. Jerome told the Missouri people
that while we are a moral people, we
are not law-abiding people We are
willing to obey only those laws which
appeal to us as representing the COM
nonsense average of public opinion
as to what is good for the community.
Cities don't want the lid held down,
and they will not have it held down,
whether the law prescribes it or no
Such was the burden of Mr. Jerome's

The Schools and the Rich.

In the presence of 10000 school |
teachers, the President expanded |
yesterday the doctrine he enunciated |
80 emphatically in Washington when
he introduced to his neighbors the
author of ''The Simple Life" He ex-
pressed 1t yesterday in these words:
venomous envy of wealth is simply
another form of the spirit which in one
of its manifestations takes the shape of
cringing servility toward wealth, and in
another the shape of brutal arrogance
on the part of certain men of wealth
Each one of these states of mind,
whether it be hatred. servility or arro-
gance, is in reality closely akin to the
other two; for each of them springs
from a fantastically twisted and ex-
aggerated idea of the Importance Of
wealth as compared to other things.
Other speakers have associated the
malignant yituperation of the rich
simply because they are rich and the
miserable elf-sufficiency of the rich
on the same poor miserable ground.
But no one else has done so for so
large an audience. The President has
surely driven the thought home in
quarters where no one else, or almost
no one else, could ever obtain a hear
ing This attention on the part Of
the nation is one of the greatest re-
sponsibilities of his Office, and in such
addresses as this to the teachers of
the country Theodore Roosevelt
meets that responsibility admirably.
But the President says further:
The chief harm done by the men of
swollen fortune to the community is not
the harm that the demagogue is apt To
depict as Springing from their actions,
a false standard, and so serves as q bad
example for the rest of us. If we did
not ourselves attach an exaggerated
fmpor rtance to the rich man who is dis
tinguished only by his riches. this ricn
man would have most insignificant in
fuence over us. 1t is generally our own
