THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF Mr..
RICHARD PARR.

Recently, Secretary MacVeagh of the
Treasury Department, after consulta-
ton with President Taft, decided to
award Richard Parr, of New York.
100000 for the part he performed in
unearthing the sugar frauds. Parr is
deputy surveyor of the port. He gave
material assistance in ferreting out
facts which enabled the Government to
recover more than 100000. out of
which it had been mulcted through the
underweighing Of sugar.
1t was Parr who discovered the
secret spring on the docks of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
commonly called the Sugar trust. No
more sensational disclosure in customs
frauds has been made since the foun-
cation of the republic.
Had Parr been allowed the maximum
amount, the sum TO which he felt he
was entitled, he would have been
granted a reward of upward of $780,
600, or % per cent Of what he was in
strumental in recovering. Now, if the
dispatches are not in error, he is dis
appointed at the 100000 allowed him
and intimates the Government does
not set any heavy premium on honesty
among its officials, giving him much
less than the sums he says he refused
as brides from the Sugar trust.
Just why should the Government set
any premium on honesty? Things have
come to a fine pass if Government en-
ployes have to have a premium foI
being faithful to their trust. As a
matter of fact, Government employees
are faithful and honest, and without
any thought of a premium or reward
Their standards in respect to sucf
things are constantly rising higher
That an official of the government
should have to have a reward in sight
before allowing the Sugar trust to loot
the Treasury is unbelievable. If Mr.
Richard Parr is disappointed, he vii

THE MOVABLE CAPITAL GAME
IN OKLAHOMA.

There are still some signs OF wild
ness and wooliness in the West.
In Oklahoma, for example, they are
playing what may be called the NOV
able capital game.
Recently, by popular vote, it was
decided to move the capital from Gu
thrie to Oklahoma City. There was
apparently a large plurality in favor
of the move, and quietly, at dead OF
night, the State seal was taken to the
new capital. The purpose of this Sc
crecy disclosed itself when Governor
HaskelPs daughter, who ventured to
applaud the result of the vote, was
driven indoors, along with her escort
by an indignant crowd. But in all
fairness to the crowd, wild and woody
as it was, it must be stated that &C

FUND FOR SANE FOURTH Is
Tagging.

In spite Of the vigorous efforts of
those in charge of the safe and sane
Fourth" for Washington, funds for the
celebration are coming in with dis
couraging slOwness, Fifteen hundred
to two thousand dollars more is need
ed, in order to make certain the char
acter Of jOllification agreed upon for
the District and in order to duplicate
the splendid program of last year. 1t
is a sad commentary on our civic pride
to realize that weeks of solicitation
have produced only about 1900 for
this wholesome cause.
The Fourth is almost upon us. and.
as 1t Is necessary for the committee
on arrangements to know Just how
much anoney it is going to have before
1t goes ahead with program plans. the
people of Washington should come
through substantially and speedily.
Unless the necessary contributions are
made within few days the safe and
sane program viii have to be materi-
ally curtailed and Washington held up
to the view of the nation as a failure
in the great reform which it inaugu-
rated a year ago.
Those who have not subscribed to
the fund should do so at once.

UNCLE SAM THE APOSTLE OF
ARBITRATION.

Secretary Knox's speech at Philadel-
Phia-an appropriate place for it, the
City Of Brotherly Love-may fairly
be regarded as counterbalancing the
passage of the bill BY Congress which
provides for the building of two more
terrible and expensive battleships. If
the bigger navy" policy is the ma
tlonal response to the war spirit that
tiutters now and then, and that must
constantly be guarded against until
arbitration becomes the accepted gen.
eral rule, such official utterances as
The one made on Wednesday by Mr..
Knox are equally important and infu-
entail responses to the ever-increasing
spirit that is embodied at present in
the International Court of Arbitration.
The peace record Of the United
States is fully as splerdid as its war
record. Secretary Knox thus sum-
med it up:
From 1894 until the present time the
Government Of the United States has
uniformly and constantly exhausted
every resource n order amicabIv ana
peace4bly 70 adjust its international
ditncIlties, and d1:ing this time II has.

wise, az "eH as all conventional or din

n ssions and domestic commissions for
the settlement OF international claims.
Unbeatcn in war, unmatched in DO
tentlal military strength, nevertheless
the United States is today the lead
ing spirit in the movement TO estab-
lish Permanent Court of Arbitration.
The example thus set must have the
desired effect sooner or later.
