moderation in this respect and has
in truth little to lose. 1t is possible
to reach an understanding regarding
submarine warfare that will preserve
all the rights of neutrals without
remitting the German efforts to de-
stroy English shipping and to pre-
vent the entrance into England of
contraband of war
The German note is expected to
reach this country soon, and it will
be great surprise if it proves to be
of belligerent character. Full in
formation regarding American SEN
timent has presumably by this time
reached the German government
through the special unofficial emissary
recently sent to Berlin That senti-
ment has in no degree been modified
by the events of the past few weeks.
There is still a strong determine
ton on the part of the American
people that reparation must be made
for the killing of over 100 Americans
on the Lusitania, and that guarantees
must be given by Germany to re

for the labyrinth has cost losses
heavier in proportion to the numbers
engaged than those involved in the
taking of Lemberg.
In this respect the labyrinth opera
tions are characteristic of the entire
western campaign since the German
retreat from the Marne. The most
desperate fighting, maintained cease
1essly for days, has resulted in shifts
of only few miles. In the east
the armies have swept back and
forth over wide areas, and unless the
Russian organization is seriously
broken by the defeat in Galicia it is
probable that they will again move
backward and forward on the same
scale while the armies in the west
are fighting desperately for yards OF
territory
The labyrinth, which has figured so
conspicuously IN the news about the
western fighting. is a series of aban-
doned mine workings which the Ger
mans occupied early III the cam
paign and sleillfully intrenched. 1t
is reported that in some places ex-
cavations by the troops have been
carried to point nearly 100 feet be-
low the surface To drive the Ger
mans out OF this position has been
the determined French purpose for
months, and the accomplishment of
this object is now reported from
Paris as remarkable elimination
OF fight that has continued almost
INCREASINGLY for three weeks and has
cost both sides enormously Whether
the conquest of the labyrinth will
result in further French gains in this
region cannot now be known L IS
at present expected that with the
capture oi Lemberg it will be posi-
BILE for Germany to withdraw large
forces from Galicia for dispatch to
the western front, in which event a
renewal OF the German offensive
against the allied line in France and
Flanders is TO be expected

Germany and American Sentiment.

The suppression of the Berlin
Tages Zeitung by the German gov
ernment is undoubtedly movement
in the interest of a better under
standing between the United States
and that power. In this journal al
most daily since the Lusitania sink
ing, and particularly since the Amer
lean note went forward, have ap-
peared articles of highly inham-
matory character ascribed to the pen
of Count Reventlow, who is viewed
as Germany's foremost advocate of
a militant policy on the sea. He has
repeatedly insisted that Germany
should not in the slightest degree re-
linquish her submarine activities at
the behest of the United States or
any other power, and has urged the
adoption of a truculent tone in the
German replies to this country. If
the Reventlow policy were followed
Germany would possibly ere now
have been at the point of breach
with the United States.
Other evidences than the suppress
sion OF Count Rcventlow's journal
are at hand TO indicate the disposi-
ton of Germany TO answer softly in
replying to the second American note
on tho Lusitania. Germany, In fact,
has much to gain from .H~-ey Of

Mexico.

The Mexican problem is no nearer
solution, though there is no imme-
diate danger of conflict between
the Villista forces on the west coast
and American troops dispatched to
rescue the foreigners menaced by
the Yaquis. Maytorena's bellicose
statement about resisting an Ameri-
can landing has not altered the pur-
pose to relieve the people who are
threatened by the Indians, if the
Mexicans themselves cannot extri-
cate them If our troops must land
TO effect this object, and they are at
tackled by any organized or unor-
ganized forces they will naturally re-
sist. and no one can foretell what
the result will be, Immediately or ulti-
mately. Meanwhile there is no
progress toward the restoration of
order in the republic, and the Presi-
dents announcement of a purpose to
take a hand in the establishment of
stable government in Mexico if the
warning factions do not adjust their
differences has not evoked a salts
factory response from the rival revo-
lutionary leaders.

The Bogie of Harassment.

Basing its decision in the Newman
case upon the incompetence Of d
citizen to bring suit to test the eligi-
bility OF an incumbent, the Supreme
Court declares that to grant access
to the courts to persons without in
terest" in the office in question would
subject officials to unceasing harass-
ment. 1t is seriously to be doubted
whether the grant of the right of
challenge to a citizen taxpayer in a
question involving eligibility to hold
Office would cause any such unwar-
ranted annoyance 1t is not conceiv
able that without some material
ground citizen would undertake to
challenge the right of an official to
serve, and furthermore it is doubtful
whether the lower courts would per-
nit the filing of unwarranted actions.
A right to question the title of an
incumbent to his Office is not incom-
patible with the free discharge of that
officials duties. 1t would seem that
the Supreme Court could rely upon
the discretion of the lower courts in
this matter, to the end of admitting
to the processes of law citizens who
feel that their rights have been in
fringed through violations of stat
utes.
An effective barrier against unwar-
ranted and repeated attacks upon the
title of official incumbents is assured
in the difficulties ordinarily accom-
panying litigation of this character.
In the first place the challenging
citizen must assume the cost of his
suit, if he cannot bring the Attorney
General or his subordinate, the dis
trict attorney, into court in his be-
half. No citizen is likely wantonly
to enter court as relator in quo
warranto proceedings. Even if such
action were taken the court of first
instance has the right and the power
to deny the initial writ on the ground
of the lack of prima facie case of
ineligibility.
The bogie of harassment is un-
substantial, and the Supreme Court
decision, turning as it does upon this
point, reads strangely in the light of
the long record of wise and logical
rulings by that tribunal in the past.

The Qleo Frauds.

The revelation in a statement is
sued by the internal revenue bureau
to the effect that since 1902 more
than coo,ooo,ooo pounds of colored
oleomargarine have been manufac-
tured and fraudulently sold as un-
colored oleo or as butter is apt to
shake confidence somewhat in the
efficacy of the federal safeguards
against this fraud The announce
ment, however, comes coupled with
the declaration that henceforth the
statute will be strictly enforced and
that means are at hand to prevent
violations by manufacturers. The
government has direct pecuniary
interest in this matter. having lost.
IT IS estimated, over 81 100000 in o1eo
taxes that should have been paid for
the colored product 1t is this pc
cunlary interest that will proba bly,
protect the consumer. In addition to
the fraud upon the government
whereby these millions have been
withheld from the Treasury an i'm
mense fraud has been perpetrated
upon the public in the sale as butter
OF enormous quantities OF oleo at
butter prices. If the present prose
cutions by the United States are ef-
fective in deterring this fraudulent
traffic great sums will be saved to
the people in the years to come.

The "Grandfather Clause. :

In the matter Of the Supreme
Courts decision respecting the
grandfather clause" in the election
laws of Oklahoma and Maryland
there is room for general congratula-
ton on two scores: tI) a grave ques-
ton long in dispute has been passed
upon by the highest legal tribunal,
and (2l the decision was unanimous.
Political leaders in all parties will
take heed, and action both by Con
gress and state legislatures is likely
to result.
The grandfather clause move
ment had for its object a violation
OF the Constitution of the United
States. That was all but confessed.
II was based upon color and a pre-
sious condition of seryitude. Elimi-
nation OF colored voters and not
broad Improvement OF the suffrage
was the aim. and that alone was the
accomplishment. In all the lower
southern states where negroes were
found in numbers they were barred
formally from the polls
Not all of those who advocated the
arrangement and accepted the fruits
ot 1t when applied believed in its
onstitutionality. 1t was in their
eyes merely an Improvement on
methods which had been for some
time IN practice to the same end
tampering with ballot boxes, and
the exercise OF rude force on cleo
sion day. Campaign methods in their
states had taken on the bold and
forbidding features which are at
present under investigation and con-
demnation in Indiana.
1t IS too soon to speculate about
what will be attempted in the way
OF legislation In response to the Sit
uation this court decision has Gre
ated. Some things that have been
done must be undone. Some things
must be done that until now have
been impossible. But whatever is
done must be based upon a recogni-
ton OF the fact that the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the Con-
stitution are operative and not Ikely
to be repealed.
What the country wants and should
have is an intelligent electorate, con-
forming strictly to the Constitution
and safeguarded in the exercise of
its powers against fraud and force at
the polls. An ignorant electorate
often means an incapable electorate !:
and ignorance and incapacity are not
to be determined as rule by color.
Where the colored man meets fair
requirements he should vote. Where
the white man falls short he should
be denied, but encouraged and as
sisted in every way to qualify as
soon as possible for the exercise of
the full opportunities of citizenship.
The Supreme Court has rendered
another great service to the coun-
try, and great good should flow from
it to all parties. all sections and both
races.
