EXTRADITING THE EX-KAISER.

The proposition to eXtradite the
eX-kaiser to England and try him for
murder appeals to most people as
nothing more than right and fair
ness. He is guilty of many crimes,
the actual commission of which was
delegated to his subordinates. Is
there then any good reason why he
should not be tried? To most people
too severe for this murderer of in.
nocent women and children, though
the punishment meted in the courts
falls harder upon some by reason of
circumstances than upon others sur
rounded by other circumstances.
What The News would give the eX-
war lord would not be what is gen
orally considered the extreme" pen
atty, but it would make a common
prisoner of him and put him to work
on the rock-pile, which, to him,
would be a thousand times worse
than death in the electric chair or
public hanging.
1t now appears probable that Will
liam will be eXtradited, if it can be
legaily done Certainly if it cannot
be legally done, it should not be
done. but his guilt is not questioned
and it would hardly become Holland
to resist the eXtradition. 1t may
perhaps entail a legal tangle but i
appears to us that there is no que3-
tion of the legality OF such step on
:hc part 0f the British government.
A bloodthirsty desire for the ex-em-
peror's life is not becoming to any
be fully met, he should be tried for
the crimes committed through his
authority. Only right and justice
should be considered and the fact
>ot William having ruled the country
which tried to drag the world down
to the lowest depths of inhumanity
and brutality should play no part.
He should be tried as anyone else
would be tried, and neither pity nor
favor should be granted him.
The usual understanding of the
death penalty is that it is the high
est punishment possible under the
law but i; is not. Life imprison-
ment. without prospect Of pardon or
commutation of sentence, is more
severe. The ex-kaiser doubtless dc
serves a good deal more than he will
ever get, but execution by the most
humane methods as practiced nova
days would be a relief to him com
pared with the rock-pile for life
Perhaps if tried in England for mur
der. England would not be very len
lent, and should not be, but only Tho
question of right and justice should
enter into the extradition and tria
and the sentence.

National Chairman Home
From Trip West Full Of
Confidence. :

NEW YORK, May 6.-Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
committee, who is in the city after
an extended trip through the far
western states, said that the west as
unit was behind the war and that
the Republican party, from coast 20
coast. was comr:itted to the peace
through.victoFy program of the VIII
son administration.
aThere is no doubt any more OF
the red:blocded west being heart and
soul for vigorous prosecution OF the
war to victorious finish and IS Will
ing to sive its men and its money for
the cause" said Mr.. Hays.
Mr.. HAYS went west partly to make
speeches for the Liberty Loan, partly
10 prevail upon Republicans i'll the
remote states Of the far west to sub
nerke partnership whenever the war
was concerned and to confer with
Republican leaders. During his stay
ii California Mr.. Hays succeeded in
nuttine an end to factional strife in
the Republican state organization
which was responsible for the defeat
Of Charles p. Hughes, the Republican
candidate in the last Presidential
election.
Chairman Hays tersely defined the
prograr1 Of thu Republican party
With reference to the war, as fol-
lows:
Twin the war now
2.-Peace by victory and not by COM
promise or bargain.
s.-Lsane preparation to meet the
problems Of reconstruction that must
S follow the war,
1.-THE fact is" said Mr.. Hays, I'VE
are as unprepared for peace as we
were for war. We cannot begin too
early to prepare for the problems that
will confront us. These are manifold
and with an important bearing on
business, labor, and on the industrial
and agricultural development neces.
sary to make Up for the wagtage war

on Republicans everywhere that they

istration, in support OF the war and
5be prepared to make the second mile
of the war. The response has been
nnequiyocal everywhere. From coast
to coast we are committed to the
war with our last man and our last
dollar"
Mr.. Hays brought back with him
from California clippings from Demo
cratic newspapers as evidence to
prove the success of his mission. One
Of these, published in Los Angeles,
admitted that his visit had resulted
in a united party and went as far as
to preditc that "the Democrats would
never get another electoral vote from
California"
Mr.. Hays came here on his way to
Washington to close the lease for the
new headquarters Of the Republican
National committee in this city. The
committee will occupy suite Of Of
fices on the third floor Of the Knox
building, Fortieth street and Fifth
avenue.
