HAITI.

The proposed protectorate over Haiti was inevitable. Since the down. fall of Toussaint L'Overture, disor- der has been the rule in that coun- try. From the massacre of the white inhabitants under Dessalines in 1904 until the recent massacres at Port au Prince, Haiti has rarely been for any considerable time at peace. Most of it's rulers have met violent deaths. Dartiguenave, the new President, is the first to be elected in many years in an orderly way, but the presence of a body of American marines was perhaps more influential in prevent ing disorder that the disposition of the successful candidates rivals to accept the result. Haiti is clearly in capable of self-government without assistance and the assistance of tile United States will render may tend to restore order and develop the admin istrative capacity among the citizens. Our modified protectorate has work
 
 mingo, where the authority claimed by the United States is much less than it would be in Haiti, there would have been much less trouble if the Washington authorities had been more careful in the selection of their representatives. In such countries revolution is regular profession. Plausible rascals live by stirring up strife. The arrangements the United States now proposes to make in re- gard to the customs receipts in Hai- ti, however, will destroy the revolu- tionist's profession. These moneys will be applied to the payment of in- terests on foreign debts, but also to the expenses of the government.
 The treaty which has been outlin- ed and which must be submitted to the United States Senate is suscepti- ble of improvement. The specifica- tion of the term of ten years as time limit to the protectorate might we'll be omitted, or an equivalent to the Platt amendment, which keeps our influence always active in Cuba, might be incorporated. But the plan as a whole cannot arouse serious ob- jection. It is not open to the objec- tion some of the Middle Western members of Congress think they see in the pending treaties with Nicar- augua, Honduras and Cost Rica, that Wall Street" can derive profits from it. The objections to those Gen. tral American treaties are puerile. Politicians, however, can find profits in the Haiti arrangement if they are permitted to. If the various collec- tors are not carefully selected, if our diplomatic officials are to be men of the Sullivan type, there will be scan dals and our hold on the respect of the Haitians will be materially di- unfinished.
 At the outset the conditions are promising. There may be delays, that is natural; the Haitians must thor oughly comprehend the advantages they will derive from the arrange ment; but there is no likelihood that the plan will be defeated. Thereaf- ter, as much will depend upon the discretion with which the matter is treated at Washington as upon the traditional indisposition of Haitians to do things in an orderly way.

A WORD TO THE WISE OR
THOSE WHO SHOULD Be
What Must Be Sworn to By
Those Who Would Purchase
Alcoholic Liquor

Here are the affidavits you will have
to sign to get liquor for any purpose
whatever after the first of the year.
The affidavits will be filed with County
Clerk Max Gehlhar and will be kept on
record for two years in order that your
, neighbor may take look and find out
just how much you are getting.
The four affidavits are as follows:
l. The kind the actual consumer will
have to sign and swear to in order to
receive his two quarts of whiskey or "a
quarts of beer every four weeks.
2. The kind ministers and officers
of fraternal organizations will swear to
to get wine for sacramental purposes.
8. The kind druggists will use when
filling prescriptions for alcohol for
medical purposes.
4. The affidavit druggists will have
to use for the sale of ethyl alcohol
for pharmaceutical, scientific and me-
dicinal purposes and for external use.
The actual consumer must swear that
he has not received from common car.
rier more than the legal amount which
is two quarts Of spirituous or vinous
liquors each four weeks or "a quarts
Of beer. He must also sign receipt
to the common carrier.
For sacramental purposes a man must
swear that he is minister or com
manding officer of a fraternal organ.
ization, that he is of legal age and not
habitual drunkard. There is no limit
to this amount as the new law says that
whatever is necessary may be received
for sacramental purposes.
In affidavit No. 8, you have to swear
that the alcohol you buy is for medical
purposes, that you are not addicted to
the use of intoxicating liquors or any
narcotic drug and also the amount you
have purchased the last four weeks.
When buying alcohol for scientific
and mechanical purposes and for ex-
ternal application, one must swear that
it is not to be used as q beverage, and
for no purpose except as stated in the
affidavit.
False swearing to any Of these four
affidavits is dangerous business, as
false swearing in the preparation of
any of the affidavits subjects the per
son guilty to punishment by imprison.
ment in the penitentiary for not less
than two and not more than five years
These blank forms Of affidavits are
furnished by the county clerk of each
county and are numbered serially and
each number must be accounted for.
The druggists in the city say there
will be no whiskey of any kind for
sale in any drug store in the city and
that those who must have it will have
to order their two quarts every foul
weeks from some point outside the
state.

RulnOrs Current That
Yuan Shi Kai Is Scared

San Francisco, Dec. 28.-Receipt of
eablegrams from Pekin today led local
Chinese leaders to believe that Emperor
Yuan Shi Kai had needed the revolu.
tionary rumblings and will not ascend
the throne New Years. 1t is rumored
that sending out Of word from the
province of Yunan to all sections of
China calling on the people to be ready
to revolt at a moment s notice has de-
tered Yuan.
According to Bishop J. W. Bashford,
head of Methodist Episcopal missionary
work in China, quiet and secret pres,
sure has been brought to bear on China
since the outbreak of the European war,
to return to the monarchical form of
government.
Personal and family ambition in
fluenced Yuan to some extent in his de-
cision to revert to the monarchy, ac-
cording to Bishop Bashford. "The re-
action toward monarchy in China is a
mistake" said the bishop cat this
time, above all others, China needs
peace, and the re.establishment of the
monarchy may be followed by revolu-
ton.
"Besides, the people of China as a
whole are pleased with the republic.
There was no widespread demand for a
change, for the young men Of China are
thinking in terms Of the republic"

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Dec. 28.-Five significant
events runctuate the year just drawing
to q close as seen from the French
point of view: The Battle of Cham
pagne, the Balkan muddle, the change
of governments, the creation of an In
ter-Ally War Council and the nomina-
tion of General Joffre as commander
in.chief of all the French armies, what
ever the theatre Of operations.
On the whole France regards the
past year as one without brilliance, 80
far as she or the Allies are concerned.
Her victories have been rather mega
tive. While her enemy has been maxi
ing some great runs around the ends
she and those fighting with her, have
succeeded in keeping the ball pretty
well in the middle of the field. The
first half Of the game seems about ov-
er, the Teutons have the ball but there
have been no touchdowns. That is
about the way the common sense
Frenchman sizes up the situation at the
close of 1915.
The Battle Of Champagne was i'm
portant because it was the very first
battle to be fought under present,
trench'perfect conditions; it gave the
French soldier proper measure of the
enemy and a proper measure of him.
self. Though no important strategic
point was gained by this victory, un.
dougtedly it will nave its effect on
1916 operations because it settled sew
eral important points.
The internally War Council leads
Frenchmen to believe that the mis-.
takes of the past are not likely to be
repeated; from now on they have de.
termined that .Ae war plans Of the al
lies will dove.tail and that the coming
year will register some real results.
The Balkan muddle has given France
more anxiety, perhaps, tnan any other
war phase during 1915. Frencamen
openly admit failure there both diplo.
matically and militar Greece three
times offered to join the allies, once
even before the battle Of the Marne in
1914, but each time she was refused
admission. Then when the allies had
fallen down at the Dardanelles and in
Bulgaria and asked her to come in, sne
had changed her mind. II is admitted
in certain circles, that had France and
the allies acted in concert and at the
proper time, there is not the slightest
doubt that Greece would have led the
dance, tnaT Bulgaria and Roumania
would today be fignting on the allies
side and that the multi-colored flags
Of Germany's opponents would today
be floating over the minarets Of Con
stantinople.
