PUBLIC STANDARDS

Graft is an ugly word and an
|u.licr thing. And we who have
=. lived in an era Of aircraft scan
daIs and pork-barrel legislation
are inclined to feel that it is es
ipec;allv characteristic of our day
and generation.
! This is a mistake lnvestiga-
=. ton and comparison give proof
that during the last forty or fifty
years there has been a gradual
and steady Improvement in the
J pu bile conscience
Men of better character have
been elected to public office.
Standards of public morality arc,
better III the different state leg
islatures Though much is to be
desired in city government, the
old reckless neglect of public right
and disregard of common honesty
IS gone. We trust forever Men
who in other days robbed the pub
lie with IMMUNITY and laughed at
the powerlessnees of law, would
in our day face the strong proba-
bility Of bolts and bars and a dis
approved pattern Of stripes.
The millennium is far away.
But slow and tortuous as the cour
Sc Of American polite may seem,
it is headed III that direction. We
have firm faith that as the years
pass graft and corruption will be
more and more discredited, and
public service will be increasing-
ly based on standards Of right and
honor.

see the minister, who refused, how
ever, to receive them.
Upon this, the crowd, melted by
communistic speakers, stormed the en-.

GERMANY MAY BALK=
At SIGNING OF PACT.
RADICAL SENTIMENT, RAPIDLY
DEVELOPING, MAY TIE THE
GOVERNMENTS HANDS.
Agents Sent to Russia to Secure Closer
Relations With Anarchistic Element
in Endeavor to Back Demands
Upon Allies.

ROtterdam.-Apart from the policy
definitely decided upon by the Ger
man government, it is impossible to
resist the conclusion from the tone
of the whole press and other express
sions of public opinion that the inten-
ton is not to sign the peace treaty.
The protest movement, so far as the
press was concerned, was inspired by
the government with an idea Of bring
ing pressure on the entente, and also
out of conviction. Whether there is
any substance in it or not does not
matter, because it is firmly held that
in SO doing they were giving support
to President Wilson. But the situa-
ton has so developed that the move
ment has passed beyond control Of
the government which initiated it. AT
the very beginning it was seized upon
by all the reactionary forces as a
heaven-sent opportunity of reawaken-
ing the national, sentiment of the Ger
man people. Gradually they We're
joined by the radicals and afterWard
by groups standing further to the left
than the government itself.
The newspapers and publicists OF
usually moderate opinion are now
shouting as loudly as the conserva-
tives, but not so loudly as to convey
the impression that it is matter Of
bluff.
Particular significance Is attached
by diplomats to thee official visit to
Moscow of Herr kautsky, an under
secretary of the Berlin foreign office,
with the avowed object of studying
Bolshevik institutions with view to
effecting closer relations between Ger
many and Russia.
The fact that Kautsky was sent to
Moscow by the German government at
the approximate time of the rise to
power of the Hungarian Bolsheviki
strengthens the belief Of officials here
that recent events in Hungary which
threaten peace negotiations have been
greatly influenced, If not engineered,
by Berlin authorities.

Mexico City.-That japanese cor

sions to exploit agricultural lands in
Lower California was the statement
made Sunday by General Armada Ag-
uric, under secretary Of development
and agriculture.
The affirmation was made, however,
that the concessions were fully author
lied by the provisions of the Mexican
constitution regarding the area and
position of the territory in relation to
the ocean shore and the frontier line.
There was nothing in the conces-
sions, 1t was asserted by the under sec
rotary, that might possibly lead to diff
ficulties as far as the Monroe doctrine
was concerned.

FOUR TO ACT ON
MONROE DOCTRINE
AMENDMENT TO THE LEAGUE
COVENANT SUBMITTED TO
COUNCIL At PARIS.
Commission Of Four Will Decide the
Course to be ACCOMPLISHMENTS
sion Of Responsibility for War
Reaches Decision.

Paris.-The American Monroe doc
trine amendment to the covenant of
the league of nations, it is understood,
had been submitted to the council OF
four for final determination as to the
course to be adopted concerning it.
When the amendment came up at
the last meeting of the league of ma
lions commission, an unexpected OBJ
stacle arose which caused action on
1t to be deferred.
This was not against the Monroe
doctrine itself, but the form Of the
amendment which is SO general in its
terms that 1t might include other doc
trines to which strong objections pre-
vailed among some of the British
dominions.
As the conference failed to disclose
means of removing the obstacle, the
amendment was finally referred to
the president and premiers as the court
Of last resort.
The commission on responsibility for
the war has decided: First, solemnly
to condemn the violation of neutrality
and all the crimes committed by the
central empires; second, the appoint
ment of an international tribunal to
Judge all those responsible, including
the former German emperor.
It is understood that the committee
having in charge the selection of the
official seat of the league Of nations
has reached definite decision in favor
of Geneva.
