WILLIAMS FOUND GUILTY
Malfeasance in Office While Auditor.


In Washington county court, Fri
day Jan. 8, Bank Commissioner
Frank C. Williams was found guilty
of malfeasance in office in that he
failed to properly audit the ac-
count of Horace F. Graham while
the latter was state auditor. The
Jury after an all night session re-
turned the verdict at 1850 o'clock
this morning after it had been gener-
ally conceded that a disagreement
was about all that could be expected.
In fact, the descision finally reached
by IL men having the progress of
the trail from day to day but also to
the attorneys in the case, although
the latter outwardly, at least, claim
ed a verdict favorable to their re-
spective sides, would result from ex-
tended consideration of the case.
Following the return of a verdict
in the William case, counsel in the
case of D. N. Hanley, state pur-
chasing agent, argued for contin-
uance, and the court continued the
case until March. Hanley is charged
with larceny of money from the
state, to the amount approximately
of $2,100.

THE COMPROMISE PEACE

Three opinions are held regarding
the treaty presented to Germany for
ratification: one that the treaty is
adequate and just; one that the terms
are too drastic, and a third which
holds the terms are not severe
enough.
The French, except the Socialists,
who characterize the peace treaty as
"imperialistic and capitalistic," heart
lily approve of it in general, although
objections are registered to certain
of its clauses. Raoul Peret, president
of the budget commission, for exam
pie, maintains that French taxpayers
should not be made to pay all of
Frances war expenses.
The British differ as to merits of
the peace treaty. Some newspapers
are dissatisfied because they consid-
er the terms are too severe. Others
think they are not severe enough. The
Daily Mail believes the provisions
satisfactory on the military and naval
side but that financial compensation
from Germany is not amply provided
for. The treaty is described by the
Daily Telegraph as being stern and
stringent throughout, although with
out trace of brutal exercise of mere
victorious force. The Herald, the la
Dor organ, roundly denounces the
whole treaty.
None of the Allies is entirely sat-
isfied. All nations on the Allied side
have been called on to make heavy
sacrifices, as President Wilson said
they must. Each one has won some
of its demands, but each has lost pos
sibly more than it has won. Neces-
sarily, where two or more parties COW
ct the same thing, one or the other
must give up, or there must be a COM
promise. And a compromise is al
ways more or less unsatisfactory to
all concerned.
The Petit Journal, of Paris, sums
up its opinion on the document as
follows: ITO put it short, although
the treaty as it stands does not give
those concerned all the compensa-
tion they had a right to expect, it is
an honorable compromise and de-
serves a favorable reception"

SETTING THE TRIBUNE RIGHT

Evidently our friends of the Tri-
bune are under a misapprehension
regarding the three-term plan by
which the University is open to stu
dents the year round.
The plan does the precise things
the Tribune says it does not do. Stu
dents. needed for farm work, are,
by the plan, released for the very
months when they are most needed
on the farm, from April instead of
June. Students who wish to earn
money in the summer time to meet
their living expenses at the University
have four months instead of three
months therefor.
Under the new plan the University
is open the year round and students
may attend any or all of the three
terms of four months each. They are
not required to do SO. The students
approval of the plan was voted over
whelmingly, it being so plainly in
their interest as well as in the in
terest of the state.
The Tribune's analysis" is, as it
intimates, Superficial" because even
the most inveterate standpatter-to
which class our contemporary does
not belong-will, upon examination,
favor a system which offers instruc-
tion in Columbia at the state Univer-
sity all the year rather than sys-
TEN which keeps idle the "capstone of
education" a considerable part of the
twelve months.
