Chiles reported intention Of sending an

have caused something like consterna-

international law, in its modern devel-
opment tends toward the recognition of
the equality of nataons. Secretary Root
emphasized the idea Of equality in his ad-
dress before the Third Conference of
American Republics at Rio Janeiro when
he said, we deem the independence and
equal rights Of the smallest and weakest
member Of the family of nations entitled
to as much respect as those Of the great
est empire. and we deem the observance
of that respect the chief guaranty of the
weak against the oppression of the
strong" and again when he expressed
the hope that the American republics
would be represented with the aclnowl-
edged rights Of equal sovereign States
in the great World Congress at The
Hague" So why should it trouble US if
Chile and all the rest of them should not
feel content with inferior diplomatic rep
resentation at Washington? We are not
bound TO send an Ambassador to Chile.
for that matter is within the discretion
OF the President, though the practice has
arisen Of cOuntering upon every offending
a.t. l,.r
The difficulty is wholly of our own
making, fer We got along very well with
out ambassadoriaI rank in our diplomatic
service until Congress, in 1893, authorized
the appointment Of ambassadors, without
consulting the State Department, and in
the face of the adverse opinion of several
Secretaries Of State, among them Mr..
Bayard, who, in 1855, affirmed his belief
that "the benefits attending a higher
grade of ceremonial treatment" would
Tot Outweigh the inconveniences which.
in our simple social democracy might at
tend the reception in this country of an
extraordinarily foreign privileged class. %
Mr.. Bayard's apprehensions regarding
the Inconvenience of the ambassadorial
corps have been fully realized. and the
international scramble for that access
TO the sovereign which is a privilege of
the ambassador cannot be regarded as
comporting well with our national ideals
or with the ideals Of international law.
1t may contribute to the gayety of na-
tons, but scarcely TO their comfy.
John W. Foster, several years ago. in
thoughtful consideration of this sub
ject. remarked that there would be no

Wr. AIdrich Doesn't Mean 1t.

Senator Aldrlch. whose influence on the
legislation of the country is equaled only
by the tremendous power he wields in
Republican politics by virtue of his leader

latter are not willing, apparently. TO per
nit the Republicans TO have their own
way in dealing with the Presidents action
in the Brownsville affair.
1t would seem that if there is anything
in the race question" at the South that
needs investigation" Democratic Sena-
tors ought to welcome any effort in that
direction.
What we ask. would MIR AidTich have

ballot? II so. he would not have TO go
south Of the Potomac. The records Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States are
easy Of access. They will show him that
in those States where the negro is denied
the voting privilege the statutes prescrib-
ing the qualification which shut him off
from the polls have been sustained by the
court. of last resort.
Perhaps Mr. Aldrich would inquire into
other phases Of the race question He
might desire to learn if there is industrial
oppression of the negro at the South.
The Southern people doubtless would as
gladly welcome this sort of inquisition as
the strictly political kind; for undoubtedly
1t would be shown that there is no in
dustrial oppression Of the blacks in any
Of those States that are Democratic
largely because the negroes are not al
lowed TO vote In mass.
II is possible that Mr.. Aldrich would like
to have a Congressional committee In
quise into the cause of mob violence at
the South, Of which black men are the
victims, with the view. Of course. Of de-
vlsing means for effectively checking this
form Of crime. Indubtably, Southerners
Of all sorts and conditions would aid him
in this effort.
On the whole, We do not believe that so
level-headed a man as Nelson WiImartn
Aldrich really wants TO instigate any such
movement as is being ascribed 10 his
initiative. Mr.. AldriCh must realize that
the Southern people have nothing to con
ceal or disguise IN their relations 10 the
blacks. Mr. Aldrich also must realize
that the negro is no longer a national
political issue. Events beyond the con-
troll Of parties and governments have
swept the black man far from the position
he Unhappily occupied for so long time
in our affairs. And finally. we are con-
vinced that no man in the public life OF
the nation would do more than Mr.. Aid

it would give him greater JOY than any

The Southern people are at their best
and appear in most becoming grace when
to-day they join to honor the name and
memory of their matchless leader, not so
much for what flashed from the fires OF
his martial genius as for the superb and
superlative virtues Of honor. Of truth. OF

The bill which the House Of Represent
atives has passed-unwittingly We are in
clined to think-to amend the postal law

venders and other get-Tich-quick concerns.
should peremptorily be put to death by
the Senate. In effect it would nullify the
present fraud-order law; at any rate,
create cumbersome and expensive meth
ods of appeal which would permit ne
farious operations TO continue pending
the slow processes of doubtful statute.
Possibly mistakes have been made in
the issuing of fraud orders. With fakirs
abounding in the land, II would be
strange, indeed If worthy concern or
individual did not, now and then, get
mixed up with the unworthy and suffer
for the latter's sins. But where one hard
ship has been worked under the existing
law, one hundred iniquitous schemes have
been excluded from the mails, and thus
the public has been protected. The ef-
fects of the law have been wholesome in
the extreme. we are quite sure, and Con
gress owes II to the country to uphold the
hands Of the postal authorities.
Perhaps the fraud-order law should be
amended. But certainly it should not be
amended in the way proposed by the
Crumpacker bill The influences behind
it are entitled to no consideration in Con-
gress. even if they do control some votes
in "a few Congressional districts.
1t Is a good bill 10 kin.

Washington is now enjoying its regular

have regulations here which do not regu-

Pickwickian rule or proclamation TO the
effect that the occupants of premises must

a certain time Nothing is said about un-
occupied premises belonging TO wealthy

can easily be made 20 do their share in the
general work of deCency and civilization.
And all this results in very imperfectly
