The [ :SSOn of Heney.

As an agent of justice, Francis j.
Heney has been a man marked for two
years. Those on whom the law lays
its hand are not often able to see that
they are themselves the cause of their
misfortune. They turn against the man
who has stopped them short in their
crime, and the reckless1ess Of conse-
quence which made them steal or muir
der or corrupt character makes them
worse than reckless in their resent
ment
Mr.. Heney was shot in a courtroom.
The assailant was a salooukeeper and
eX-convict. He had been drawn to serve
on a jury for the second trial of Abe
Ruef under circumstance which made
competent and impartial service a Prac-
teal impossibility. Heney exposed good
ground for rejecting him by proving
him an eX-convict. Now Heney lies
in the hospital, and Haas, the assassin,
has added the stigma of attempted
manslaughUeT 10 that of having served
his term.
A whole people Will look on in hope
that the brilliant and daring young
prosecutor may recover his health. With
that determination which has made
him so potent in bringing crooks to
account, he himself announces as he
regains consciousness, Il viii live to
prosecute Haas ana Ruef" 1t Is pray
erfully to be desired that he shall so
live. 1t is good for the whole people
OF the nation to have their attention
drawn anew to this mans bravery and
self-sacrifice. 1t is good for him to feel
the continent-Wide interest. But the
whole lesson of the incident Is not
included in those three benefits. 1t
should have also the effect Of directing
the minds of the people everywhere
certainly here in the District of Column
bia-tO those other servants whose con
tending for the rights of the many
against the depredations of the few
have not been so spectacular and have
not been opposed by means so open
and so nearly certain to defeat IL I'm
selves.

Politics in Cuba.

Cuba's first president, Thomas rs.
trada Palma, has died at Santiago on
the eve, so to speak, of the national
election. 1t is an election which prom
Uses to put an end to the American oc-
cuPation of the island and fulfill some
of the patriotic ideals for which Palma
fought so long and so bravely.
The ballots are being cast today.
As Conservative candidate for Presi-
dent stands Gen. Mario Garcia Menocal,
a native of Cuba, "a graduate Of
Cornell, and at present manager of
the largest sugar plantation in the
world. General MenocaI was one of the
most powerful supporters of the late
President Palma. He favOTs having
Cuba maintain as close relations with
the United States as her dignity and
integrity will permit. Jose Miguel
Gomez Gomez, the Liberal candidate,
ran for President when Palma was re-
elected. He played a prominent part in
the insurrection that drove Palma from
Office two years ago. The Liberal party
represents a coalition Of the Miguel
istas and the Zayistas-names borrow
ed from the Liberal candidates, Miguel
Gomez and Alfred Zayas-and the Lib
erals are likely to win.
Little interest Is taken in the annexa-
ton question. Both sides are aiming
earnestly to advance Cuban interests.
But partisanship runs high in the is
land, and there Is no assurance that the
party defeated viii refrain from max
ing the customary trouble.

After the death Of Judge Bib John
Barton resided here with his beautiful
and talented daughter, who created q
social sensation In Washington on the
occasion Of her marriage to Constantine
BOdiSCO, the son of Baron de BOdiscO,
whose marriage to a Georgetown maid

Using to sin no more and with Won Bue-
lows pledge that the ministry viii keep
closer watch on the sovereign, excite
ment over the present incident may be
expected to abate in few days.
The significance lies in the change
of attitude Of a whole people toward
the crown. 1t Is in reality an epoch in
the march of Germany toward consti-
tutional government. They have warned
the Emperor that his will is not su-
preme; that ne is responsible to the
ministers, the ministers to the reich
stag, the reichstag to the people, and
the Kaiser assents.

Developing a Constitution.

Other constitutions than ours can be
changed by Interpretation" That is
what Chancellor Won Buelow implied
when in rebuking the Kaiser fCe his
recent interview ON Germany's ELLA
tons with England, which created so
tremendous a stir abroad, he said:
"The excitement and regret aroused
thereby in Germany will, am con-
WINGED, lead the Emperor, in future pri-
vate conversations, TO exercise the re
serve which, in the interest off a uni
form policy and the authority of the
crown, is indispensable. If this proves
not to be so, neither 1 nor any one of
my successors could take the response
bility."
While the intent of the constitution
of the German Empire was that the
Kaiser should be responsible to the
ministry, the fact is that the Kaiser
has been very much an autocrat. 1t
is a remarkable thing that a people
like the Germans should have put up
so long with a sovereign who spoke
and not infrequently acted as if his
own will and the viii Of God were
identical.
1t is plain that they have reached the
parting of the ways. 1t is equally sig
nifcant that the Emperor seems to I'M
derstand the fact, Otherwise we cannot
conceive him taking patiently the sort

The Bibb house was built IN the lat

meadows. In 1928, the house passed
from the hands Of a man by the name

A Chinese House of Blocks.

A rope of sand, with no capacity to
hold itself together; a house of blocks
ready to fall to pieces at the least
shock, is the great chinese empire, con
tanning ABOUT one-fourth the worlds
population. Outside pressure has long
done as much to hold it together as
has any inherent strength. But for the
determined position taken by the
United States it would probably have
been dismembered by this time,
The death of the Emperor would be
unimportant in itself, so far as con
Germs the relation of China to world
affairs, if it were not for the fact that
the Empress Dowager, long the real
head of the government, is reported in
a grave condition, necessitatiug the ap-
pointment of a regent. There is no
doubt that the Empress DOwager is one
OF the most remarkable women of her
time; when more is known about her,
she may rank with such women as
Catherine, Maria Theresa, and Eliza
beth.
Long bitterly opposed to a pro
grcssiye regime, the empress has lat
terIy recognized it as not only inevi-
table but desirable. She has been won
over to better understanding of the
occidental attitude, and her suspicion
all too we'll grounded-thatn no Western
nation was honest in any profession of
for China has been pretty
well overcome by reason of the evident
of America.
The death of the dowager would
doubtless mean great complication of
Eastern matters. Much progress has
been made in the last decade toward
drawing China closer together and max
ing the so-caIled imperial government
more nearly imperial in power and in
fuence. The provincial viceroys and
their corrupt retinues do not look with
favor on too much Capitalization. They
long made it impossible to raise and
an imperial army, but latterly
some excellent work has been accom-
DHshed in the direction of strengthening
the arm of the Picking administration.
At time when the real, the long
expected and the oft-postponed awaken
ing of China is plainly begun, anything
which involves important change Of
conditions must be of concern to the
whole world, Diplomats and business
interests alike will watch with the
utmost interest the developments at
Picking and the provincial capitals.
