WITH FRANCE
ENGLAND is ONCE MORE COOP
GRATING AS OF YORE.
Latest Turn In European Diplomatic
Situation As Seen BY Observers
at Paris.


Paris, May H. Once more Eng
land and France, working together
in the diplomatic field, have added
to the isolation Of Germany.
The new Franco-Japanese treaty is
officially confirmed. 1t is regarded as
due largely to the influence of King
Edward
Great Britain and Russia already
have approved the general lines of
the treaty
Thus France. England, Russia and
Japan have reached an understand
ing over their respective interests in
the far east, while Germany is prac-
tically ignored.
Means Peace I'm Far East.
The fact that Russia has assented
to the treaty between France and
Japan is significant. 1t means that
Russia and Japan have no further
quarrel over Manchuria. Englanj's
adherence with Russia means that
they will not clash in the Yangtse
valley. France will be undisturbed in
Siam and Indo-China, and Japan will
have a free hand in Corea.
At the same time, it is explained
the entente will be strictly limited
to the maintenance of the status
quo. II does not touch China and has
not anything resembling an offensive
or defensive feature.
Anglo-Russian Treaty Due.
Nevertheless, taken in connection
with the Russo-Japanese under
standing which shortly will be con-
cluded and the Anglo-Russian agree
ment both of which are supplement
tary to Anglo-Japaese and Franco
Russian alliances and the Anglo
French, the entente creates a COM
bination in the far east and new
GROUPING of the powers In Europe OF
extreme Significance. 1t constitutes.
as stated, another signal evidence Of
the success Of Great Britain's jiplo-
matte maneuvering for the isolation
of Germany.
United States Approves.
1t is understood that the United
States approved in advance of the
aim of THE negotiations between
France and Japan. and found no OBJ
lection thereto. Jd
Foreign Minister Pichon said to-
day:
"The purpose of the entente is to
secure additional guarantees for the
maintenance of peace in the far east,
being simply logical continuation
of Frances policy of concluding ar
arrangements designed to prevent com
plications wherever France has spe-
cial interest"

There are excellent reasons ad-
vanced by Magistrate Emery and
County Judge Lightfoot for con-
structing the county jail under the
court house, not the least of which
is the saving in expense; but there Is
always the matter of sanitation and
hygiene to be considered. Ventila-
ton usually is poor in under ground
rooms and the installation Of artific-
ial ventilating apparatus, seldom
works satisfactorily by reason of the
draft necessitated. 1t is hardly con-
sonant with our modern ideas of cor
receive punishment to jeopardize the
health of prisoners, and reduce their
moral and mental stamina by re-
ducing their physical yigor. II the
objections naturally occurring to
one against the plan proposed can be
overcome, there is merit in the pro-
ject. Otherwise, we should say that
any apparent saving in the original
cost would be more than counter
balanced In the long run.

ALFRED D. SHAW
WILL SING AT THE MAY MUSIC
FESTIVAL MAY 20.
Plans for Woman's Club Enterprise
Promise Artistic Triumph This
Year.

Mr.. Alfred d. Shaw, the well
known English tenor, has been Sc
cured for the coming festival. There
will necessarily be great curiosity to
hear this much talked of singer, who
has already appeared in most of the
principal American festivals with
marked success. Mr.. Shaw has been
especially engaged to appear in The
Messiah and Rossini's Stabat Mater
in the annual Messiah festival
throughout Holy week at Lindsborg
Kan. Following this he returns. east
for a round of oratoria appearances
beginning with the Worcester festi-
val in June. Mr.. Shaw's engagement
here is sure to add largely to the in
terest in our own forthcoming festi-
val, singing in association with the
other splendidly endowed artists al
ready announced. Headed by Innes
sixty players and the locally trained
festival choruses, there seems every
reason to predict for the coming eel
ebration not only a great financial
success for the Woman's club. but
also such an artistic triumph as will
advance the cause of music in this
city beyond comparison with any eff
fort in the past. The festival is set
for May "a, at wallace park, and
tickets are being disposed Of rapidly
by the ladies of the Woman's club.

FRISCO $ CORRUPT GovERNMprr,
(San Francisco Chroniele

(San Francisco Chroniele)
 The controlling majority in this city have never been averse to corruption in office When we have had honasf officials and boards-and we have fre- quently had them-it was by chance or as the result of transitory influences not directly concerned with honest gov ernment. It has been the exception and not the rule that franchises or other ravors have been granted without cor ruption. We do not believe that any business man accustomed to having dealings with the city has ever expected or attempted to get anything without bribing somebody
 There is probably not city franchise In force which was not corruptly ob- tained. Nothing whatever however beneficial to the public, but which also particularly favored some special inter- est, has usually been done until that interest came through" And this con- dition has been understood by every body and yet we have continued to nominate and elect men whom we knew to be political prostitutes
 There are citizens of standing who are above corruption, but 1t has been only here and there one who h as had the civic virtue to accept public offico if asked By mems deeds must they be judged, and by our deeds this people is proved to have been openly, notoriously and scandalously corrupt for these many years Public opinion has favor ed corruption just as now 1t favors clean government.
