Russia's refusal to pay an indemnity 20
the power which was forced to go to war
to compel the car to keep his promises,
respect his treaties and restore stolen lands
to their rightful owners suggests the case
of the thief captured by the police with
pfered goods in his possession. After a
sharp struggle, in which the police use
their billies, the cuprit Is hailed to court
and the goods are taken from him. You
must suffer a penalty for your crime
says the court. But l have restored the
stuff" protests the thief True replies
the court, thanks to the police. but you
must also pay a penalty" Whereupon the
battered prisoner points to his blackened
eye and the bump on his Uranium and
whines: Have 1 not already paid enough?
See these marks of rough handling" Never
theless. he goes to Jail. He pays his
Indemnity
If the Russian theory held good in GRIM
inal law justice would be satisfied with the
mere recovery of the stolen goods and per-
haps with few bumps administered to the
thief. The plunderer would be set free TO
heal his wounds and recuperate his strength
for another raid.
The indemnity is demanded by Japan as .
measure of justice. a stroke of prevention
and of reimbursement as well. To make
Japan pay the cost of compelling Russia
to restore matters in Asia to their rightful
status is an nequitable, untenable propo-
stion. Were Japan the aggressor from the
beginning, were Russia the injured victim
of the mikado's plundering enterprise, there
would be no warrant for the claim that the
war cost should be borne by Russia. The
case reverts to this single point: If Rus
STA had respected the rights of China and
Japan and of the other powers doing bust
ness in Asia, and had kept the pledges
she gave to this government, with others.
to withdraw from Manchuria, where she
had no right whatever. there would have
been no war.
The prisoner at the international bar is
sadly disfigured and the stolen goods are
already taken from him. But he has yet
to pay the penalty for his offense.

Fusion in New York.

BY Insisting on the nomination of Mr..
Jerome for mayor of New York the Citi-
zens' Union plays very poor politics. Not
Only has he declared that he will not ac-
cept a nomination for that Office, but he
has taken such a position as respects the
Office he wants to outline a most prom
tsing Campaign to all who desire the rescue
of the city from Tammany control. The
Citizens Union is opposed to Tammany
and yet rejects advice which if taken
should lead to victory. Mr.. Cutting and
Mr.. Murphy thus become allies for the
present.
The republicans. on the other hand in
declaring for fusion against Tammany. play
very good politics. a straight republican
tioke. could not win at the polls. A cry
would go up at once that the proposition
was but for the transfer of affairs from
one machine TO another and independ-
eni voters would take no interest in
tn" campaign Those voters must be con-
sldered. for in contest between the Tam
many machine and the republican machine
Tammany would win. 1t is the strongest
force taken by itself in the city. So the
republicaus declare for a mixed ticket, and

business.
This means of course. the nomination of
Mr.. Jerome for district attorney. and the
pitching OF the fusion campaign In the key
of his character. He will thus be made

new ways of motor management. In what
ever form the proposed amendment Is
adopted, IL at all, 1t should be so framed Is
to make the prohibition run against the
owner of the vehicle and not against the
vehicle itself, and there should be a pro-
vision reducing to minimum the chance
of owner evading the law by shifting
the blame for scorching upon hired
chauffeur, in whose name the license Is
taken out. In short the license should be
issued to the bona fide owner of the ma
chine and not to his mechanician. and the
owner should bear the burden of proof to
show that he is not doubling on the law
whenever he loses his license by securing
another in the name Of an agent.
Careful motorists today agree as rule
that the licensing regulation Is necessary.
for they realize that they are suffering as
class from the Ill repute gained by the
few reckless ones. The community as q
whole appreciates the value of the automo-
bile as a means of transport and is glad to
observe the rapid increase of the number
of motors in daily use in Washington. 1t

Mr.. Bryan and Farewells.

The time approaches for Mr.. Bryan to
start on his long journey around the world
and farewells are preparing. He dimes Sep
TENDER 10 with the Jefferson Club OF Chi
cago. and many distinguished men will sit
at table with him. Toasts are yet to be
announced. but we may be sure that they
will cover the whole case. What America
needs in order to fulfill her proper mission
and how certain 1t is that she will never
get it until Mr.. Bryan is called to office
will probably be set forth in clear and
ringing terms.
The present does not appear to be the
best time for Mr.. Bryan to leave the coun-
try. He Is not running away. He Is not
that sort of man. But it is strange that he
does not tarry to help along the fight next
winter for railroad rate legislation. 1t
promises to be warm. and he is very much
Interested in the subject. Were he ON the
ground ne might assist In keeping the
democratic line in Congress steady for the
peoples interests. He might exercise as
much influence he did at the time the
Paris pence treaty was before the Senate,
and when his labors counted In favor of
ratification. 1t is true that in that matter
he overplayed his hand. having helped to
take over the Philippines in the hope of
4tlttAS iieifi 30 again, OUT ne
his power as a party leader. and he might
do again.
Then there is the question of municipal
ownership of public utilities in which Mr..
Bryan is very much interested and which
his friend Mayor Dunno of Chicago has on
hand just now. Progress is slow-far too
slow to suit the men who put Mayor Dunno
in office Maybe If Mr.. Bryan were near
at hand he might by suggestion now and
then help the cause along. But with thou
sands of miles of blue water and foreign
land between him and Chicago he cannot
count in the fight
Some changes will take place during Mr.
Bryan's absence, but he may probably rely
upon one thing. His party. which he Is
leaving divided. will still be divided when
he returns. His temporary absence will
not make for the reunion of that.

Minor Communicable Diseases.

One paragraph in the weekly report of
the health officer just issued is calculated
to attract attention generally throughout
the District and perhaps to stimulate de-
mand for the enactment of law such as
the local authorities have sought from Con-
gress without success 1t Is stated in this
paragraph that during the week covered by
the report there were no less than seven
deaths in the District from whooping cough.
a disease which is not now classified by law
as sufficiently communicable to warrant any
quarantining or other precautionary meas
ures against its spread. 1t is. however, the
common belief of iaymen and is the dctum
of physicians that whooping cough is COM
municabIe In circumstances rendering the
spread of the disease rapid where there are
numbers of children within a certain range
of focal case.
Owing TO the lack of preventive measures
parents of children suffering from whoop-
ing cough are prone to be careless about
permitting the movements of the little suf-
ferers, with the result that they carry the
contagfcn from house to house before warn
ing can be given. There Is no placard on
the residence and the physician and house,
holder are under no obligation to report
such cases. The only means the health
officer has of knowing of the prevalence
of the disease Is through the death re-
ports. while the parents of children who
are not immune from the ailment are ut
terly helpless. Even when the presence of
the disease Is made known by the cough
ing of a little sufferer there is no re-
dress IL this child chooses to go forth
in play among others it's parents cannot
be compelled to prevent such enterprise.
There are unfortunately many persons in
this as in other cities who do not subscribe
to the generally accepted theories of in
fictitious diseases. Many parents will not
admit that there Is any danger of spreading
whooping cough by close proximity. They
resent the suggestion that when a child
has this affection 1t should be kept within
more restricted range than before. They
plead the freedom of the streets as an
excuse for the unchecked wanderings Of

Massachusetts,.

The democrats of Massachusetts have
called their state convention for October Z.
By making their campaign short they may
succeed in securing an angel as their
candidate for governor. Politics is expen-
sive even pastime, and even four weeks
may work havoc with pocket book. A
longer raid upon it is not to be thought Of.
Gov. Douglas adheres to his determination
not TO run again He has had enough Of
his Office and of his experience with poll
ticians, and will return to the independence
of private life and the pleasures of devot-
ing his spare cash to good uses. Mean
while George Fred Williams sulks in his
tent and Col. CASTOR and Josiah Quincy
are left to struggle along as best they
may. The winter begins early In New
England and somebody in Massachusetts
is likely to experience cold day early in

recording of cases Of these diseases. which

Curious Situation in Norway.

From the Kansas City Journal
The singular spectacle Is presented in
Europe of great, intelligent and progress
sive people now practically free and inde-
pendent. peddling their throne about among
the princes of the neighborhood, begging
for some one to come and rule them. The
people or Norway are notable for their
sturdy industry. wholesome courage and
high intellectual ideals. So far as capacity
for self-government is concerned they are
second to none. This hardy northern race
has always been remarkable for its resist
ance to oppression. Perhaps no country In
all Europe Is more promising ground for
the spread of political independence. Yet
Norway Is hawking her throne about as a
gift to some alien prince.
