Germany and Her Colonies.

It requires a peculiar genius on the part
of nation successfully TO acquire and
govern colonial possessions England has
always been more o. less Of a success at
it, owing mainly to d spirit of fairness
and justice in her administration over
seas, the one notable exception being her
colonial possessions in America. France
has never succeeded very well, nor HoI-
land, in spite Of Dutch India and Java
and Dutch possessions in the West IN
dies We, as a nation, in spite OF the
criticisms Of the anti-imperialists, have
done much better than might have been
expected. considering the length OF time
our civil service-Or anything like it-has
been in operation.
But Germany. whose war lord has al
ways had wild dreams Of colonial expan-
sion which should furnish work for his
huge automatic army and help him also
10 realize his dream Of a powerful navy.
has never been quite successful in man

in Southwest Africa. This has always
been an expensive proposition for Ger

Emperor William would fam 90 on with

and so on. The same charges have been
hurled against the Germans in their
Southwest African possessions, and there
has grown up throughout the German
empire a detestation of the colonial glory
to be won at such sacrifices.
The issue came when Chancellor Won
Buelow, presenting his budget, took oc-

which would necessitate a reduction Of

a reduction of Germany's military force
there would result in the loss of the

ChiId Lnhor LEGISLATION.

From the Louisville Coaricr-Journal
When Congress proposes TO pass a child
labor law for the District Of Columbia It
is strictly within its rights. for that ter
ritory is, by the terms Of the Constitu-
ton, exclusively under its control. It may
pass such an act as seems good to it. and
if it is found superior and efficient, II will
no doubt form the basis Of legislation in
some Of the States. II is well 10 remem-
Der. however, that, as Washington is not
a great Industrial city, a child labor law
may be more easily executed there than
in some other cities For that reason a
law that would be adequate in Washing
ton might not fully respond to the de-
mands in some Of the States.

BRYAN DEFENDS ROOSEVELT.
Presidents Action I'm Brownsville
Case Commended by NebrasIsan.

". J. Bryan, Ia The Conln0ier.
Whatever constitutional lawyers may
decide concerning the power Of the Pres
ideat 10 discharge or to reinstate. no ua-
biased person viii deny that the offeHse
was grave enough to justify the Presi-
dent IN doing whatever he has power -
do II is inconceivable that fair-minded
people should cr.ticise the President for
attempting to relieve the military service
OF the menace Of a body Of troops whose
members will shield group Of criminals.
The evidence shows that some ten 10
twenty members Of the battalion oelib-
erately went forth upon a murderous *
petition and that the remainder Of the
troops refused to disclose the guilty ones.
The critics Of the President say that
the innocent should not suffer with thu
guilty That is a sound proposition when
the innocent can be distinguished from
the guilty. but IN this ease the question
is. Shall the innocent members Of The
community suffer for the presence OF
the troops or shall the innocent members
of the battalion suffer for refusing 10
join the government in the preservation
of law and 0rder2 There IS no principle
in law or in morals that requires that
greater consideration should De shown TO
the innocent soldiers who prefer TO con-
zeal the guilt OF their comrades than 10
the public IN general
The second ground OF criticism urged
by those who take issue with the Pres
ident is that the soldiers ought not 20 be
required to tell on each other. and the
case is put upon a level with the case
of schoolboys who do not tell on each
other when caught in some Halloween
prank. The cases are not at all similar.
There IS a very clear distinction be-
tween the sports Of the schOolboy and
the commission Of crimes II dozen
schOolboys were present when one OF
two Of their number killed a fellow stu
dent. no one would justify the silence Of
the boys who looked Oh. They would be
required 10 tell what they saw even
though il resulted in the punishment OF
their comrades And still more is it the
duty Of soldiers sworn 10 support the
Constitution and the laws to assist in
bringing TO punishment those who are
guilty Of criminal offenses, even though
the guilty parties belong TO the same
company.
The friends OF the black man. whether
they be themselves white or black, can
not afford TO defend crime or the shield
ing Of crime. II may be that the Pres
ident has gone beyond his authority, q
So the question ought 10 be discuss d
as a legal one. Those who assert the
moral right Of colOred soldiers 10 shield
comrades charged with q capital offense
will not give any material assistance IN
the settlement Of the race question.
