A Few Words ON Eect

While Marse Henry Watterson and the
other responsible editors Of the Louisville
Courier-JOurnal were out at lunch the
other day, the senior Office boy wrote an
editorial concerning womens feet. which
subsequently got into the forms without
being edited. and was published as writ
ten. In Justice TO the Office boy. We
hasten 10 add that his effort was very
creditable. indeed. from some standpoints
and we predict here and now that he
VIII develop into an excellent newspaper
manor journalist, as we believe Marse
Henry's young men are called. The edi-
torial on feminine pedal extremities was
well and clearly written. and the writer
displayed well-defned evidences Of ability
TO reason and to think logically. Indeed
We can only criticise the production be-
cause its ambitious author showed a
lamentable lack OF information concern
ing the National Capital. Ignorance of
the details of life in sordid. EVERYDAY

burg. St Louis, and Richmond is under-
standable and excusable. but everybody
should know all there is to know about

ernment, and the temporary home of

4 Novel Pence Agreement.

An agreement Of unusual character has
been reached by the delegates TO the
Central American peace conference. which
has been celebrating for some time past
In this city. It established n Central
American Court Of Justice. with power to
settle all questions, of whatever nature.
tnat may arise among the contracting
PARTIES. No exception is made of oues-
tions affecting national honor. or, indeed
Of any possible controversy that may
originate between two nations. The iuris-
dietion OF the court covers every imag-
Unable difference. its authority is judicial,
its judgments final. and II has power to
enforce them. Such a tribunal as this is
Ia distinct novelty in International juris-
prudence, and its practical operation will
prove of the utmost value In determining
the feasibility Of establishing a general
international court along the lines OF the
project defeated at The Hague.
Besides jurisdiction over international
disputes, the court is given Jurisdiction
over such questions as individuals Of
one Central American country may raise
against any Of the contracting govern

case or not. provided. of course. that he

by the laws of the country of which he

cases voluntarily submitted by any two
OF the contracting parties, and over cues
tons which any one of the governments
may agree with any foreign government
TO submit to IL The first OF these pro-
visions goes much further than any pre-
vious proposal for the settlement Of inter
national disputes. in that il provides
means by which the individual may seek
redress from a foreign nation other than
recourse 10 the courts Of that nation or
appeal 10 the diplomatic offices Of his
own country. In the event of failure to
secure what he deems his rights by
either Of these means, he may bring suit
directly before the Court OF Justice. This
is an innovation the value and efficacy
OF which remain to be tested i'm the
domain of international relations though
1t has been thoroughly tried out in our
Federal government.
The new Central American agreement

Protection Against Humiliation

! Our recent editorial comment on the en-
forced retirement of fifteen naval officers
last July possessed the quality Of proph-
ecy to the extent that there has been in
troduced b. Mr.. McCumber In the SEN
ate bill for the relief Of one of the Off
GERS thus humiliated-Capt William c.
Cutler. The measure OF relief cOntem-
plates the restoration of Capt. Cutler to
the position in the list of captains he
held at the time he was ANONYMOUSLY
thrust out OF active service. with the pro-
vision that ne shall be carried as an ex-
ira number in the grade This restora-
tion depends upon the satisfaction Of the
Secretary OF the Eavy with Capt. Cut
ler's fitness for duty. the qualification 10
be established by the usual moral PRO
fessional. and physical examinations This
is the expected result Of the summary re-
tirement of naval officers who had no
opportunity 10 be heard in their own be-
half and against most Of whom there is.
presumably, nothing on file In the Bureau
of Navigation 10 show that they should
be disgraced. as some Of them feel. i'm the
condition attaching TO such a method Of
riddance. This system of purifcation sa-
vors of the star-chamber days. and is un-
Just TO individuals. TO say nothing Of its
downright cruelty. None of the officers
had any chance to defend themselves.
and have never heard why they were con-
sidered unfit for retention on the active
list. They possess a grievance and II is
well that there are some Of them who do
not propose to rest quietly under tie
stigma
OF course. the Navy Department is
fully protected. since the law permitted
this sort OF elimination, as a means OF
creating vacancies, and so aiding pro
motion. Much satisfaction was expressed
by junior officers when it was found that
the department was TO exercise the statu-
tory privilege Of going the limit in retir-
ing officers by force. II may be very
different with these same celebrapts when
they get up high enough in the com
missioned personnel 70 be regarded as
objects Of pitiless scrutiny. The promo
tons incident upon the enforced retire
ments Of last July have been made. and
the officers who We're retired are securely
of the active list They may succeed in
increasing the commissioned personnel in
the various grades by just the number
Of officers who are put back by the legis-
latiOn Of relief The proceeding IS. il will
be observed, an expensive one. aside from
the injustice already done 20 officers who
might have Jared better If they could
have done something to get before a
court-martial. when they could at least
have had a chance TO defend themselves
Ii has been said in defense Of the scheme
that the fate Of these fifteen officers has
been eminently good upon some others
who remained on the active list, but who
belonged in the same class Of undesIra-
bles This may be; but the method Of
reforming the naval personnel is too
harsh to prevail in a civilized community
and in a republic.

interest Of great corporations assumed the
night 10 suspend the operation Of state
laws. There would have been no occa-
sion for any friction had the railroads

sought Federal redress only in event of
failure before the State tribunals. The

The Amazing Hughes.

From the Kansas City Journal
The theory that the office should seek
the man" is one OF those beautiful dreams
Of triumphant democracy that Is seldom
realized Every State campaign and
every national battle shows a picture of
men scrambling for Office, spending their
fortunes and often going down to ruin
in efforts to get public office But Hughes
says he is not that kind Of a man, and
10 prove IL he says the Presidency must
seek MIN II il wants him. and that he
will be at home on the day set for the
call II IS no wonder the professional
reformers look upon such a man with
amaZemont.

Intruding upon the senate.

The Senate made the discovery the
other day that communications from the
executive departments recommending leg
islation, and frequently inclosing drafts
of proposed bills, constitute an insidious
encroaehment on legislative privilege that
ought TO be stopped Immediately. Sew
eral Senators. including Messrs. Aldrich
and Lodge, were unaware that the prac-
tce of sending such communications had
assumed the proportions Of a time
honored and well-established custom: but
Senator Carter proved. by copi0us cita-
tons from the Congressional Record, that
it dates back to 1S76, and probably earlier
Moreover. the custom is recognized by
the rules Of both Senate and House. so
that change in the rules is proposed in
order to free Congress from this horrifc
invasion of the legislature by the execu-
tive departments. The consensus Of opin-
ion seemed 20 be that all communications
from the executive departments should
be made through the President, a for
mality that was observed during the
Cleveland administrations. but is con
spicuously ignored by the men who do
things under the existing regime.
II is difficult for an outsider to see the
force of the objections raised in the
Senate TO the receipt of legislative sug-
gestons from heads of executive depart
ments; yet it is evident from the temper
OF the discussion that voluntary sugges-
uons from such sources are resented as
intrusive. irregular. and contrary 60 the
spirit of the Constitution. II the com
ment OF Senators who participated in the
debate represents the general feeling Of
the Senate. an attempt will be made to
divorce as completely as possible the
relations Of the executive departments
with Congress. Senator Hepburn express
cd what We should consider rather an
extreme view when he said that Congress
was quite capable Of framing and enacting
necessary legislation 10 meet every con-
tingency. and that the executive branch
should have no participation whatever in
the legislation OF the country. In prac-
tice, however, so complete a separation of
the legislative and executive functions is
impossible. and even undesirable. Only
by harmonious cooperation between the
legislature and the Executive can govern
ment be carried on with efficiency: yet
one OF the great defects Of our constitu-
tional system is the friction and antago-
nism engendered by the want Of a we'll
defined relation between those branches
Of the government concerned respectively
with legislation and administration.
