81 NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE
To the Cambridge PoetsHfj& has B been
added one-volume Complete Shakspere,
of such form andzschelarship as to make
it OF the highest value to the student and
OF great convenience to readers in gen.
eral. The editor is William Allan Neil
son OF Harvard, who has taken the text
OF the early ~quarto and the first folio
editions of Shakspere's works. The
folio division into comedies, histories
and tragedies has been retained, and the
comedies and tragedies have been ar
ranged in chronological order, while the
histories are in. historical sequence.
Other editorial features include full BIZ
ographical sketch, and a glossary, to-
gether with an appendix of textual notes;
With 1ntroductions to each play and
poem, which summarize, authorities on
dates, sources and authenticity, and dis
cuss Shaksperes use of his material.
I. The edition is a collocation of all au-
thorltles by one who is himself an au-
thority: Especially helpful may be found
the presentation Of Contemporary with
modern stage directions, and the desig-
mated distinction between folio and quar-
to .readings-both marked, for the first
time In any text, so that the eye at a
glance. sees the play as it was acted and
punished in Shakspere's time, together
with the versions which later editing
produced. The conservative scholar will
appreciate the close adherence. to the
readings. Of the early editions, while he
profits by rspunct ua ton a ccording 10

yolving the girls, the diplomats dog. the
diplomat, and the pseudo diplomat
brings the girls into. the. state game and
a game of hearts at one and the same
time. Both games, however, with the
help Of the deus ex machina, are settled
and there are neither broken national
ties nor broken hearts, to mend. a..

Police-Made Criminals.

Germany was. recently thrilled with
laughter, mixed with indignation, over
the exploit of one Voight, q common
felon, who was d cobbler when out of
jail. Voight donned the uniform Of
captain of the guards, marched dozen
soldiers whom lie found at target prac.
tice in. the, outskirts of. Berlin to a
neiehbering town and had them arrest
the treasurer and clerk while he rifed
the, town treasury. \. g.
The Job was such a daring one
that it hasssattraoted attention Of stu
dsnts Of crfminology.'= They have in.
terviewed Weight at length. The main
fact brought out in the discussion is
that Weight, who is hardened crimi-
nal who has been in numerous thiev-
ings and been: convicted many times,
claims that he has been made a pro-
fessional criminal by the police. Be
tween terms he was a cobbler, and a
good one, and Saved his wages. But
he complains that the police never gave
him time to settle down to an honest
life. :. They kept worrying him. When
ever suspicious robbery occurred they
were down upon him and he was sweat.
ed on the theory that he either did the
job or knew about it. Voight, undel
this'ftreat ment,yG finally abandoned al
idea of leading an honest life and lave
himself up. to-, the career Of ,nief
whose periods of freedom were to be
devoted to inventing schemes which
would make the guardians of the peace
stare with establishment. The latest
exploit of Voight appears to justify
the attention the police paid tog5him
At the same time it is serious ques
ton how far the intolerable espionage
by police Officials over former convict:
goes to make them just what Weight
claims they have made Of him.

the difficulty. twill be in the case
Of the exclusion Of Japanese from pub
lie Ii schools Of San Francisco If the
Japanese government is inclined to
press the point. zst
s It has been suggested that the sixth
article of the, constitution, WHICH pro-
videse that treaties and the gconstitu-
ton are the supreme law Of the land,
establishes the supreme authority of
the. federal government. If the terms
of the treaty cover the rights of the
Japanese to attend the public schools,
that section may solve this difficulty,
but others are likely to arise which are
not SO easily disposed of. It will be
necessary to establish in the constitu-
ton the supreme power of the federal
government in all relations affecting
the citizens of other countries.
IL: That this was not done in the orig
inal draft was DUE, no doubt, to the
jealousy which then existed toward the
federal government on the part of the
state governments, and it. is doubtful
If the constitution would have been rat
fled by all the states if clear pro-
vision asserting the supreme authority
of the general government in such mat
tiers had been incorporated in the first
instance. But we are wiser now. We

= A Constitutional Defect.

:s1< The incident Of: the exclusion of
Japanese, children: from the. public
schools in San francisco, and the insist
ence that the Japs avail themselves of
separate schools Isl likely to force an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States. 1t has developed :, the
existence of a serious defect in that in
stfument which must be corrected.
According to precedent people Of a
state may not be compelled by the fed
eral government to- observe any rights
of;Eforeigners excepthsueh. as the: state
itself may establish. AT the same time,
the citizens. of q foreign country look
not to, the state. but to; the federal
government >foJ. redress in case of, com.
plant or injury. -. . -.,y........ .......
The Japanese incident may not lead
to any serious com plications. It an.
pears that the apprehensions with re.
gard to trouble ON account of. the sit
uation in San Francisco were not fully
justified by" the real attitude of the
Japanese government. That govern.
ment apparently doesn It care SO much
about the, matter as has been repre-
sented, but nevertheless the situation
which has arisen is delicate one and
under some circumstances might lead
to>very serious; trouble. aS .:vz - x,,.e$

to consider seriously the doctrine that
the federal government had no power

This was manifestly ridiculous prop
osition. Foreign powers have no rela

the federal, and the secretary of state
was obliged to so adjust matters that
