REPORTS AND REPORT.


The Tribune is very indignant IN us
righteous soul because the report OF the
Church auditors was not read In detali
at tho Conference. The members OF the
church were all satisfied with
tho general statement OF the auditors
because they know them to be honest
enable business men. They know that
any irregularity In the accounts, any
mismanagement, would be detected
and reported. They know, too, that the
present financial status of the Church,
and the liberal aid 1t gives to wards
missionaries, schools. etc, from the
public funds. form a complete refuta-
ton of the silly insinuations of the
Tribune. 1t is apparent to the Church
members that but for the strictcst hon
esty and most capable management.
the financial status of the Church
would be different from what 1t is
They do not wish the time set apart
for worship and instructions in spiritual
matters wasted by the reading of fig
ures that would leave but an indefinite
idea in the minds of the audience. Tho
auditors report was perfectly satisfac-
tory to the Saints. as they proved by
their vote of acceptance.
But, what business is that OF the
Tribune, anyhow
We would like to call the attention
OF that sheet to the financial status of
te City, as matter OF moro interest
to 1t. That status, under the manage
men of its own party dictators and
slave drivers is now so bad that the
City Auditor dares not publish the re-
port the law makes it his duty to pre-
pare for the public. The money OF tho
City has been squandered TO the tune
OF hundreds of thousands OF dollars.
Money must be borrowed. under some
false pertense or other, to pay last
years deficit. Taxes are being raised
beyond reasonable limits. But the City
Auditor delays the report that ought
to have been given to the public on
or before the first Monday in February.
Here is u mire for the Tribune to
wallow in. Why does it not do SO to
it's hearts content?
There is nothing to conceal in the af-
fairs Of the Church. Can that be said
of the financial affairs of the City UNI
der american" management How
would II be for the Tribune to mind
its own business?

the necessity OF demanding the retlre-

reasonable chief executive of the peo-

we may admit that the case or the
asphalt company Is not very Strong
The company admits that 1t paid trlo-
ute to insurgents, but claims IT was
compelled to do so, the government
not being strong enough to protect us
property. Venezuela has all the moro
incentive to submit that case to arhi-
tration. If its contention Is just, ar
bitratlon would prove 1t.
There are other cases pending. In the
case of the so-called Critchtield claim
the United states and Venezuela COM
pany appealed directly to the state de-
partment without first seeking redress
in the Venezuelan courts. This, IL
seems. was u mistake on the part of
the company. In the case OF the Orih-
oco Steamship company, 1t Is unols-
puted that the issue has already been
referred to arbitration and decision
rendered by an umpire appointed by
the Queen OF Holland. The claim that
the decision should be ignored, can
hardly be defended, since, as Secretary
Hay pointed out: "a failure TO comply
with the award would, moreover In
volve a grave dlscourtesy to the emil
nent arbitrators who sat in the case,
and a serious injury to the cause OF
arbitration"
Then, there is the case of an al
legged American citizen, who was ex-
PEELED from Venezuela. Castro claims
that he was fugitive from France,
and also from the criminal courts of
Mexico. Venezuela, then, has n clear
case. from a Venezuelan point of view,
In all these points under controversy.
Why, then, does Castro refuse TO arbi-

Secretary Roots course has been dig
nified and statesmanlike throughout.
Instead OF sending an ultimatum to
Venezuela, he made the diplomatic cor
respondence public and left it entirely
TO Congress to decide what further
steps are to be taken. Venezuela can
be compelled TO arbitrate, and then
prudence would demand the retirement
of Castro for good. and the election of
President who appreciates the friend
ship of the United States.

CHANGE OF OPINION.

The fickleness of public opinion is
well illustrated I'm the comments made
on the Aldrich bill. Some such meas
ure was demanded by hnanciers and
business men all over the country, who
favored the issue of an emergency cur
rency in times OF financial stringency.
when tho stringency came last year
the banks simply took it upon them
selves to issue such currency. TO meet
the clamor for currency legislation,
Senator Aldrich introduced his bill pro-
Vidiug for an emergency currency un-
der government sanction. The bill
was supposed to have the support of u
majority of the Republicans in both
the Senate and the House Of Represent
tatiyes. 1t was thought to have the
approval of the treasury department
and the President was said 10 be In the
main In favor Of 1t and TO desire its
passage, But now Il is opposed by
many who FIRST demanded IL. Bank
ers are divided In their opinion of It's
merits and so are other business men,
The trouble, we presume, with al
such measures is this that what suits
some interests does not agree with
others. Congress Is IN the position OF
the Clergyman who promised his par
ishonerH rain as soon as they could
agree what particular day they all

LAW FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS.

Our observation of the dealings of
university Faculties with student ruff
fianism throughout the country leads
us TO believe that the professors are
mostly ut sea IN their attempts at the
solution of the hazing problem. In this
particular offense, expulsion of the
youth who may have taken part in
upon single student Is no adequate
remedy and fails to meet the require
ments of the case.
In general we do not advocate great
er severity in the punishment of stu
dent FRANKS. Our opinion is that in
most cases college professors are too
sensitive and are too ready to expel
or discipline students for petty offenses,
This is particularly the case in their
dealings with duh and impertinent
students. In such cases repressive
measures, expulsion, suspension, etc,
are the usual resort especially of weak
teachers yet in these cases 1t is often en-
couragement and help, not punishment
and disgrace, that the student really
needs and usually deserves. But in
the case of hazing there is a very diff
ferent problem.
Tho following account of II strike on
the part of the undergraduate students
of New York University is suggestive:
After listening, in chapel this morn
ing, 10 an Official announcement OF the
suspension OF a. A Young, captain of
the varsity crew, and president of the
junior class, the men of 1909 first then
followed by the entire student body,

students, he has never shown much
loyalty for the university color-violet
Young was suspended by the Faculty
Committee on Discipline, lie was
charged with having something 10 do
with the hazing.
The father Of Block the student who
was hazed, had threatened TO proceed
against his sons huZers IN the courts
II the faculty did not eXpel him,
We are of the opinion that the hazers
OF this on any other student should
be placed on trial IN the regular courts.
Faculties in universities have rarely
shown amy aptitude toward successful
dealing with student pranks The
measures adopted by them are ueces-
sarily limited 10 expulsion Sometimes
