"ONE RESPONSIBLE MAN"

IN the unanimous decision of the
united States circuit court of appeals
confirming the sentence of Banker
Charles w. Morse to serve fifteen
years in the Atlanta federal prison
me judges say: Congress was not
seeking to punish the ignorant book
keeper who copies items into his
books as part of his daily task" when
1t passed the laws to safeguard
national banks which he transgressed.
In Morse's case, as in that of John
Il. Walsh, of Chicago, whose sentence
was last week affirmed, it is the zone
really responsible man. who is SEN
fenced to Jail.
Morse's friends claim, and no
doubt justly, that other bankers have
done what he did; but that is a rea-
son for Furnishing them, not for free
ing him He has said that he was
the panic of 1905" that powerful
men planning his downfall precipitat-
ed that great disturbance. This NAV
De true, but in the straight course he
need have feared no enemy. He has
been pitied as scapegoat whom the
Roosevelt administration selected
when it wished to make an examine
OF some rich transgressor; but limo
cence would have been an impregna-
pie defense, whatever the motives of
his prosecutors.
The long, hard sentence imposed
upon him will be an impressive warn.
ing to other financiers who stand
where he stood three years ago. But
1t is a warning whose value will soon
be lessened or lost unless the govern.
ment enforces the laws, steadily, con.
slstently, impartially, against all

SEEKING WAR?
Bolivia Seems to Want
Conflict With Peru.
Has Considerable TO Gain and
Very Little TO Lose.
With ChiIi's Assistance She Would
Come Out Triumphant.

Washington, Aug. SIS Bolivia seek
ing a pretense to bring on a war with
Peru?
The question is being asked. serious
ly, too, by South American diplomats,
who are watching every developments
in the situation in which Argentine.
Bolivia and Peru are directly interest
ed and Chill and Brazil Indirectly.
Some of the diplomats profess to
think that the excitement in Bolivia
over the Argentine award, which was
favorable to Peru, is really blind on
the part of the politicians there to
bring about an armed conflict with
Peru nominally to secure more sat-
isfactory adjustment of the boundaries
of the disputed tract but actually aim
ed at territorial conquest.
Bolivia has no seacoast. A success
full war with Peru might give her an
outlet to the sea by demanding as an
indemnity Moque Qua province, the
southernmost part of Peru and ad-
joining the Chilean frontier. In that
province is the harbor of Ilo, at the
mouth of the river of that name. The
harbor is said to be an excellent one
and it's acquisition by Bolivia would
be of great advantage to her
Much depends upon the attitude to
be assumed by the Bolivian Congress-,
which opened its sessions Saturday. If
Argentina's award is accepted that
should prevent further trouble, but if
on the contrary, Bolivia refuses to
abide by that decision Ind proceeds to
occupy the disputed territory, serious
trouble is ahead
Chili's probable attitude in the event
of hostilities between Bolivia and Peru
is also being discussed with much ami
nation. Her financiers have been
spending considerable money in the
work of railroad construction in Bolivia
and the popular sympathies are beliey-
ed to be with that country. Her I'M
friendlineSs to Peru dates back to the
Chilean Peruvian war of a quarter of a
century ago.
With Chilfs assistance, Bolivia
would have a decided advantage ana
from the military standpoint it is be-
lieved could more easily effect the
prior occupation of the disputed tract
because of the practical impossibilty
of Peru's transporting men and NUM-
lions of war over the Andes and the
necessity of reaching the country in a
roundabout way.
