ADMINISTRATORS Somersanlts,

On February Is Senators Lodge and
Sterling addressed the Senate on the
latest armed vessel order Of Ger
many, citing the authorities and
quoting Mr.. Wilson's various official
declarations on the subject. Senator
Sterling charged that the German
admiralty was encouraged if not in
vited by the memoranda Of the state
department" to adopt a policy which
involves cons, quences more serious
than any that have yet disturbed us,
grave as some Of them have been"
Immediately following this exposure
Of its reckless Inconsistency, the adj
ministration turned a somersault, re-
yersed its position and caused it to
become known that it would not agree
to Germany's plan.
From Germany have come explicit
II not actually official, declarations
that the German admiralty Is deter
mined to pursue the course 1t had out
lined, that It regards the change OF
face of the United States as distinctly
unfriendly, and that 1t will neither de.
fer its orders to German submarine
commanders nor engage in delaying
negotiations with this country.
Apparently, this country, therefore
faces the alternative Of humiliatine
backdown or of severing diplomatic
relations with Germany, with possibly
much graver consequences.

Pardon Bears Fruit.

Attention was recently called to
President Wilson's reckless pardon
ing OF two Oklahoma officials con-
yicted of fraud in trying to deprive
the negroes of that state of their
right to vote, under the infamous
..grandfather clause" Of the state
constitution. A pardon Issued immedl-
ately after the supreme court had
affirmed the guilt of the men and
that was accepted as designed to
encourage the state legislature to
devise some other means of depriying
the colored voters of the suffrage.
Now comes reports from Oklahoma
that when the legislature met the
Democratic majorities Immediately
undertook to devise such Legislation
and that during the vote in the Okla
homa house of representatives there
occurred a free fight in which Arthur
Il. Geissler, Republican state chair
men. was Knocked insensible and
others injured. Reports from Okla
homa indicate that, with confidence
that the courts cannot punish them
as long as Mr.. Wilson retains the
pardoning power there Is no limit to
which the Oklahoma Democrats will
not go in their determination to keep
the colored voters from the polls.
