TUSTTCE FIRST.

Counsel of Mr.. Schiff in the Brandt
case seem to be acting on the theory that
an injury to u woman's reputation JUS
tilted the Irregularities practised In
Brandts Incarceration and would justify
now a neglect by the public Of precau-
tions to insure the punishment Of those
who may have been guilty Of perverting
the administration of justice. That the
ory cannot be entertained for q moment.
Even If Brandt did add to whatever
crime he committed in Mr.. Schiff's home
the offence Of attempting to blacken
woman's character, that would not ex-
cuse sending him to jail for a crime he
did not commit, with the aid Of false
criminal record procured for use against
him.
A despicable character plus some
minor offence plus slander does not
constitute the crime OF burglary in the
first degree Neither would the motive
of touching the pitch of SANDER with the
least deflement justify procuring from
the police q lying report Of character
and the use or IL In obtaining u long
sentence. Nor, on the other hand, would
the desirability of affording to the
woman mentioned by Mr.. Schiff's counsel
as prompt an opportunity as possible Of
clearing her name from aspersions Jus
tify neglect by the public Of precautions
to prevent immunity being obtained by
those who may have been guilty Of tam
pering with the administration OF the
criminal law.
However much sympathy it may have
for them, the public Is not concerned
chiefly with the characters Of individ-
uals The repute Of its own institutions
is blackened, the character Of public jus
tce lies under suspicion. 1t must be
vindicated, and everything else must be
subordinated to that work.

CONTEMPT FOR LAW,
Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II. as our Police Commissioner
points out in his annual report "the vari-
Gus courts have failed signally TO uphold
the administration OF Justice as Affecting
the enforcement Of law by the police" Is
II not a deplorable fact? The law In New
York City seems TO be more honored In
the breach than in the observance" and
our worthy Mayor, through his horror of
violating personal liberty" encourages
this condition.
II children were taught that there were
laws and that they were made to be kept.
not to be broken, and II they were pun
ished when they broke them, would they
not be more likely To grow up law-respect-
ing cltzens7 Policemen now object to
making arrests because they complain they
can't get a conviction. II this is the case
with the serious offences. how much moro
IS II true where only minor offences are
concerned, MAGISTRATES going so far as to
dismiss and apologize to persons arrested
for these.
Disrespect for law is at the bottom or
almost all the numerous murders, the dis
astrous fires. the appalling accidents, the
dirty streets, the disgusting splitting and
smoking in public places, the neglected
parks, with their trampled down grass and
mutilated shrubs, and many other things
too numerous TO mention. y. NJ.

The White House also took occasion this

that a number Of letters had been received

foreign interests In Mexico appealing to the
President for protection. Only the letter
that was mentioned in The Tribune this
morning has been received.
In view Of the largo number Of kilograms

GERMAN PEACE PACT NEXT
Negotiations, Says Taft, Await
Fate of Present Treaties.

Marcus NJ. Marks and Or. Louis L. Sea-
man. acting as committee for the New
York Peace Society, made public yesterday
a letter from President Taft replying 10 a
letter asking for an explanation OF the
status OF the arbitration treaty with Ger
many Tre said:
February II, 1912
Gentlemen: Replying 10 your letter OF
February II, I have pleasure in drawing
Your attention to the history or the events
which led up 10 the negotiations OF Ine ar
bltratlon treaties now before the senate,
In INV speech in December, 1910, before the
American Society for the judicial Settle
ment OF International Disputes l said:
''If now we can negotiate and put through
a positive agreement with some great ma
tion TO abide the adjudication OF an inter-
national arbitral court In every issue when
cannot be settled by negotiations, no mat
ter what II involveS-Whetner honor, lerri-
tory or money-we shall have made long
step forward by demonstrating that IL is
possible for two nations at least TO estab-
ish as between them the same system or
due process OF law that exists between IN
dividuals under a government.
This statement was followed by prompt
and equally public announcement by
France and Great Britain OF their willing
ness to enter into negotiations looking to
the conclusion OF such treaty. NO other
countries having responded to this sugges-
tion, this government submitted to Great
Britain and France as a basis OF negotia-
tions n tentative draft of a treaty, the
substance of which was published in May
1911, With the announcement that the United
States was prepared TO enter upon similar
negotiations with other nations. Subse-
quently the diplomatic representatives Of
Germany and several other European coun-
tries requested, and were given, copies OF
the tentative draft, but the negotiations
with Germany, as well as similar negotia-
tions with other powers have been tenn
porarily held in abeyance, pending the final
action of the Senate upon the treaties with
Great Britain and France.
The German government equally with
this government regarded the temporary
suspension OF negotiations as advisable un-
der the circumstances, and for these rea-
sons the negotiations with Germany are in
complete.
You can rest assured that Immediately
upon the ratification Of the present treaties
efforts will be resumed, Of the most earnest
character, 10 bring about treaty with
Germany equally progressive and signifi-
cant of desire for universal peace by ar
bitration on the part OF both the high CON-
tracing parties. No one recognizes more
clearly than does this government the wide-
spread utility in the cause of world peace
that such treaty with Germany would
effect Sincerely yours,

GENERAL OSPINA AND SOME 9TH.
ERS

The Colombian incident" is now
gracefully concluded and sweet peace
prevails at the southwestern corner of
the Caribbean. OF course, II has pre-
vailed there all the time and there has
been no thought Of breaking it, save In
the incarnadined minds Of a few who
are believed to have formed the habit
of seeing red In order that they may
enjoy green tomatoes. If there is any
resultant embarrassment or unhappiness
Il certainly does not rest upon either OF
the governments concerned. Perhaps
General Ospina regrets tho consequences
of his impulsive indiscretion, though he
might certainly find consolation therefor
in the expectation of numerous Chautau-
qua engagements which may be invited
by his unexampled amount of free ad-
vertising. If so. everybody whose feel
ings are to be considered may be re-
garded as quite content
Excepting a few. though indeed they
would probably resent with much aus
terity the consideration of their feelings
by any one Of less consequence than the
gods of high Olympus. We refer to those
queer little Americans who Immediately
upon the appearance of General 0spina's
I'll advised letter fastened with much
brashness and glee to proclaim them
selves to be to the extent of at least a
huckleberry and half more Colombian
than Colombia herself To their minds
the letter which Colombia now repudi-
ates and rebukes was the indubitable
voice Of Colombia herself, indictlng
America before the bar Of the world cf
high crimes and misdemeanors compared
with which the Sarmatian episode which
caused Freedom TO shrek and Hope to
seek other worlds than ours was neg
ligible trife. OF course, thay held, Cen
oral Ospina was of necessity right, just
because he was criticising this country,
and the United States was wrong, just
because it was the United States.
But now, upon its own y0lition and
without o word from Washington, the
Colombian government recalls It's un'
diplomatic envoy for the reason that 1t
and it's constituents entirely disagree
with bis idea that the visit Of the Ameri-
can Secretary Of State would be inop-
perfume And il does this with a heart
less and shocking disregard OF the feel
ings Of its jealous American champions
who have been telling the world what a

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Choate. we may be sure. has
done his utmost to foster the Dickens sub
scrlption movement, but his last report,
though cogent and inspiring. Is necessarily
quite dscouraging.
Rossiter Johnsons suggestion. In your
issue OF to-day, opens up. however, a more
cheerful view OF the situation. II this
country's leading men OF letters and emil
nent citizens generally were TO act on IL
and were to appeal to Messrs. Chapman
e. Hall we may we'll hope II would meet
with favorable response. which would
undoubtedly much increase the prestige
OF that prominent firm.
Such an appeal would receive no end OF
distinguished signatures at the Century
Association (of which both Mr. Choate and
Mr.. Johnson are members), and where could
be found in this city better centre whence
It could more ftly issue?
The absurd assertion that Dickenss
popularity is waning is disproved by the
fact that this firm alone sold last year not
far from a million copies OF his works.
This reminds one that similar assertion
as to Sir Walter Scott being now "back
number" is falsihed by the fact that the
sole business of firm in Edinburgh Is
that OF printing the Waverley novels.

THE PUBLIO SERVICE APPOINT
NENTS.

Governor DiX's appointments wnen ne
breaks with Murphy are no better tnah
those which he makes with an eye 10
nleosing the boss. His two appolntees
70 the Public Service commissions nave
no particular qualifications that the puo-
liz is aware Of for the important posi-
tions TO which they are named and they
have various disqualifications. Perhaps
the present appointments are bad be-
cause in breaking with Murphy the GOV
ernor has merely chosen other polltlcai
advisers no whit to be preferred TO the
hoss Mr. Bissell. who Is named to sue
Good Mr.. Olmstead in the upstate COM
mission. Is known as "Fingy" C9nnerss s
man and has relations with power conf
many which ought to have barred him
from, the Governors consideration.
In Mr.. Riggs's appointment Is seen
tbe hand of Mr.. Sheehan, who appears
TO have replaced Mr.. Murphy in the Gov
ernor's confidence The appointment IS
particularly undesirable because OF
Sheehan's relations with one or TINS
city's traction companies. If the Pubic
Service commissions are TO be filled with
agents of political bosses and the repre-
sentatives Of public service interests or
of their attorneys public regulation IN
this state Will speedily fall into con-
tempt. 1t is not often that Tammany
performs a service to the state, but 1t Is
doing so in opposing the confirmation OF
these two men. If the Republican
members Of the Senate do their duty
these appointments will be rejected.
