THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

The truth of history is not always
easy to get at in the immediate time
Of the sequence of events as they occur
Sometimes the truth of history is not
got at all But in this dav Of enlight.
eminent there ought at least to be some
approach to historic verify. We are
brought TO these reflections by an edi-
torial paragraph in an Eastern paper
which reads as follows;
The Turkish soldiers in the besieged
town OF Janina. were halfstsrved So
the Greek soldiers In the trenches oppo-
site would hoist occasionally loaf Of
bread on a bsyonet for the Turks TO gaze
at. Photographs cf this psstme are now
being printed in the European and Amer
icau newspapers. and one of the pictures
affords YOU as much war realism as
Nercstchagin's paintings.
Surely. one might expect "as much
war realism" in almost any sort of a
nreseutation. either pictorial or by
words q NerestchaPin has made: for

man who represented in vivid picture

WHITE HOUSE SUPREMACY.

4 good deal of discussion pro and
con has been had with regard TO the
method which President Wilson took
TO announce his reversal OF the IDOL
lar diplomacy of this country, es-
pecially ss applied 10 China. Assist
ant Secretary Wilson made strong
point when he complained that the
State Department first knew OF The
change of policy and of the new path
which il was TO tread on reading Of
this in the newspapers. II was q Just
complaint; for il is no more than fair
that when a change OF policy in that
department has been determined upon
by the chief executive. the said de-
partment should be first notified Of il.
and given an opportunity TO prepare
for the change This is only ordinary
business sense and official courtesy
For, il the department business is 20
be done in the White House. without
letting the department officials know
what is doing under their nominal iu-
risdiction, why have departments or
department officials!
But not only was this rule departed
from by President Wilson in his an
nounced change OF policy with respect
to China. the foreign governments
which had been acting in concert with
this country upon the Chinese loan
and Chinese policy generally, were
treated in the same discourtcous fash
ion. They were apprised of the change
of policy in the same way that our
own State Department was apprised
of it; that is. by publication in the
newspapers. Just the day before the
new departure publicly announced by
President Wilson. the British Foreign
Minister had stated in the House of
Commons that he had no doubt Of the
continued accord of the American Gov
ernment with the other FIVE powers in
their Chinese policy and the tender
and turning over Of the proposed
Chinese loan.
So that il was not alone our State

but our fellow partners in the specific
agreement itself. This may be q good
way of doing public business, but it
will certainly bring the American Gov
ernmcnt into the contempt Of other
powers; for. If we cannot be depnded
upon to hold TO an agreement entered
into and make ourselves free 10 with

or explanations TO those
who have been parties with us to that
agreement. then American diplomacy

POWERS OF JUSTICES.

It has long been the opinion Of many
jurisprudence that justices of the peace
ought to be endowed with greater au-
thority and wider powers of discretion
than are now conferred upon them. The
! justices OF the peace, as a matter of
fact, il proper selections were made,
ought to be the great popular courts
The district courts ought to be less re.
sorted to than they are. MultItudes Of
cases that are in the district courts
ought to be settled finally in the JUS
tees courts. and would be if two de-
sirable things were to be afforded;
first, the selection Of men Of ripe judg-
ment and fair legal ability, and of un-
questioned probity for justices of the
peace; second the vesting in such jus.
tices of large discretion and far wider
powers than arc now conferred upon
them.
An instance of what might be done
suggests itself IN a proposition which
has passed the lower house of the Mis-.
sour Legislature. This bill gives JUS
tees of the peace 1.-the right to parole
persons fined and who have no money
with which to pay the fine under terms
by which their earnings should 90 to
lIquidate the fine, This is clearly a
discretion which could safely be con
ferred upon justices of the peace,
especially where those justices are
competent for their positions.
In justification of the proposed au-
thority to be conferred upon justices,
the st, Louis Globe Democrat fairly
states, "under our ancient and honor
able system, when the State fines
man who cannot pay, he is put in Jail
until the State has expended upon his
keep as much as the amount of the fine

the decentralization of the man, and
with very little to enter on the credit

There can be no doubt Of the
straightforward good sense OF that
comment. Our criminal Jurisprudence
has proved at times to be in very bad
state, and this is conspicuous example
of il.
Another example might be cited in
| the case OF men taken from time TO
time for misdemeauors, as drunkenness:
they are sent TO Jail for q week OF ten
or twenty days In the meantime the

family in any way relieved from the
disability which the State has imposed
upon them 70 no public benefit what
| ever, but rather they are put upon
mercilessly, and perhaps driven TO
pauperdom.
When we consider cases like this, IL is
no cause for wonder that the rejecting
mind will at times be inclined TO doubt

ITS DREARY REITERATIoN.

The Smoot organ reiterates its drcary
and senseless plea that the people of
this State ought, for the sake of their
tariff interests, to range themselves in
support of the Utah Senators, claiming
that only thus can the Senators have
any influence upon the tariff revision
that the Democrats are now about TO
make.
The uonsensical character Of this sort

first. the Utah Senators have made

cratic minority (now majority party
in the Senate that so far from being
listened to on any question Of tariff
! change. they would be held in con
tumely and contempt: second, no local
interest involved expects or Mt any
time expected, any special aid from
the Utah Senators. On the contrary,
every interest goes TO the House and
makes its own representations. OF

Mr.. Howell is never heard from. has
no force or influence. and he knows
little or nothing about the questions
involved. and so the lead and zinc men,
the sugar men, and the wool men, ignore
our Congressman in both Houses. and
make their own representations in
their own way; necessarily so. because
those Congressman are negligible guam
titles in all this matter, and especially
so now that the former minority so much
contemued by the Utah Senators is
now the majority and has the opportun-
ity TO return the contempt. 1t is clear

rated themselves from their party, have
BETRAYED the party pledges, have done
more than their share in wrecking the
party and bringing upon it ovcrwhelm-

help Of those Senators upon the Ma
tional Republican party is only a shade
greater than that inflicted upon the
local Republican party in the State
by them. The Republican party under
the bossmauagement of Smoot has
dwindled to a mere fraction Of the
popular vote, and retains power merely
by plurality in place of its former fri

move of rallying to the disastrous sup

heard tho single note OF nalf-past
three chime from the clacS ON the
mantelpiece.
Outside he stood for a moment on
the top Of the marble steps, looking
downward with absent eyes. He was
completely engrossed with the just
ended conversation, parts of which
repeated themselves in his mind as no
stared unseeingly down the wide, un-
encumbered vista of the street,
Carriages flashed past through
strips Of sunshine; automobiles
whirred by, leaving dust and gasoline
in their wake On the sidewalks there
were many foot passengers: lazily
sauntering couples, lovers, family par
ties, and little groups bound for the
cars which would whisk them over
the dunes to the park. AS he slowly
began to descend, one of these groups,
formed of three women, man, and
child, approached the bottom of the
steps. They were walking down the
avenue in a close. talkative bunch. The
descending magnate was apprised OF
their proximity by the high, cackling
sound of the women's voices and an
aura of perfume which extended from
them into the surrounding ether. He
paid no attention to them, his eye,
with its look of inward brooding, pass
ing indifferently over the faces turned
eagerly toward him.
They were not so unmoved. Their
glances were trained full on him, their
eyes wide in the unblinking intensity
OF their scrutiny. Even the child, who
was skipping along beside the: eldest
of the women. inspected him with sol
emn care. Brushing by in their gay
Sunday raiment they drew together to
discuss him, their heads in cluster,
their voices lowered. He was so used
to being the object of such interest
that he did not bother to look at them,
and was therefore unaware that one OF
the women. quite pretty, with reddish
hair and dark eyes. had turned as she
! moved away and surveyed him oyer
her shoulder.

you," he said, you just call on me.
I'm willing to help in this thing all I
can. 1t goes against me to see Dom
mick caught in trap this way just
at the beginning Of his life"
"A boy" said his mother. that
would have made some good girl
so happy"
Cannon rose from his chair.
That's just it!" he said, "and
there are not so many of 'em round
that we can afford to lose one OF the
best. I've always liked Dominick and
getting to know him so well up at
Antelope l grew downright fond OF
him. He's a fine boy"
He smiled at her with his most gen.
ial air, beaming with disinterested ar
lection for Dominick and the desire
to be helpful in grievous strait.
Mrs. Ryan looked brighter and more
hopeful than she had done at the
beginning Of the interview.
"It's very good OF you." she said, ito
come and listen to an old woman's
complaints. But as we get on, we
seem to take them harder And you
know what my boy was to me?"
"About the same thing that my girl
ia to me-" Cannon answered as he
turned away to look on the table for
his hat.
There was a little more talk. and
then the set phrasos of farewell
brought the interview to close
Though momentous, II had not lasted
long. AS he left the room Cannon
