One of the weakest points In the
Chinese imperial government has been
Its management of the finances. There
has been a deplorable lack Of enlight-
ened system. and. according to conf
dent report, a still more deplorable
excess of squeezing" and other forms
of dishonesty. 1t was therefore to be
desired that fiscal reforms should &C.
cupy a large place in the reorganiza-
ton of the government on a constitu-
tional basis, and 1t is now gratifying
and encouraging to observe that such
is the case. Various imperial DEGREES
have emphasized the necessity Of fiscal
reform and have indicated on general
lines the n in which it Is to be
effected, and there is ground for
hoping that these will be obeyed as
the other DEGREES relating -onstitu-
tional matters have been.

TRIUMPH FOR AM RlCANS
German Campaign of SANDER Against
the Deutsche Vacuum Oil
Company Fails.

Berlin.-The long and venomous
campaign waged by German newspa-
pers and rival industrial interests
against one of the German branches
Of the Standard Oil company-the
Deutsche Vacuum Oil company-has
just been brought to a victorious end
for the Americans involved.
A well-known Hamburg newspaper
for months printed such q series OF
attacks on the american graft meth
DDS" alleged\t to have been practiced
by the vacuum company in the con-
duct of its German business that the
public prosecutor Of Hamburg felt
constrained to make an official inves-
tigation with a view to eventual In
dictments. The prosecutor has now
concluded his Investigation. especially
of the work of e. l.. Quarles, Ameri-
can manager of the German COM
pany's sales department, and an
ounce that no necessity exists for
pursuing the inquiry further.
No evidence Of anything warranting
prosecution was found against Mr..
.Quarles, and the costs of the entire in.
quiry will be borne by the state.
The result of the Investigation con
stitutes a notable triumph for Ameri
can interests in Germany.
1t is not the first time that Ger
mans, finding themselves unable to
compete with Americans on ordinary
terms, have resorted to Islander.

Washington, ID. CATER fifteen

binding treaty, to join hands and In

into effect as soon as signed in duplt-

This action guarantees the status

it. No foreign powers are concerned
in this agreement, which affects only
the contracting nations.

article. Russia agrees to consider IA
vorably the naturalization of all the
Chinese railway lines, whether owned
by China or private corporations, Chi
nese or foreign, subjecting them to
sheriff regulations in times of war,
limiting their use by the belligerent
and defining their movements.

The mayor of New York has ordered
the keep off the grass" signs removed
from 30 New York parks. He thinks
the children should be allowed to romp
on lawns and grassy hillsides. This Is a
sensible order. Grass is rendering the
best service 1t can give a city when 1t
is utilized as an outdoor carpet for
children to play upon. It can stand a
great deal of that without being seri-
pusly hurt. The light weight of chill
dren does not injure grass unless the
ground is wet or the grass Is 30 fresh
from the seed as not to be fairly root
ed. Playing on the grass should be
regulated. but not prohibited.
