A WARRANT FOR BILL.

While the powers opposed to Germany are
debating the best means of handling the prob
lem Of Bill Nohenzollern so as to assure for him
the full benefit of the place he made for him.
self in the sun, 1t remained for California
man to cut the Gordian knot of legal ntricacy
and find simple, direct and forcible way of
getting at the matter.
He has sworn out a warrant charging Will
liam Hohenzollern, eX-king of Prussia and eX-
emperor of Germany, with having maliciousy
wounded him with deadly weapons discharged
either by himself or through his orders" The
soldier was injured at Chateau Therry.
Thus far there has been no means devised
by the Yankee for serving the paper and getting
action on it. Unfortunately it will be impossible
for the sheriff Of Fresno to tap his man on the
shoulder, flash star and warn him that any
r. thing he may say will be used against him. He
cannot administer the third degree to Bloody
Bill. Nor can he bring him up before jury of
twelve good men and true who would most like
ly resent being termed the peers" Of the &C
cused.
But our California man has opened way
of spreading the fame of Hohenzollern Grimm
ality through the generations to come Without
doubt that warrant will be one of the treasured
keepsakes of his family for many long years
His great grand children, if he has any, will
read it and remember.
Why not have warrant sworn out charg-
ing murder, assault theft. rape or any and all
of the brutal crimes of Prussianism, by every
every man who has been wounded, the widow
or mother of every man who was killed, the
brother, sister or father of every girl outraged
during the war Read into the criminal records
of every village, hamlet. city or township of the
entente world, the black and white accusation
against the Hohenzollerns, father and son. And
there let the charges stand, as well as in the
pages of history For though school children
of the year 1000 may read in their text books
of the dastardly emperor and crown prince,
they will remember longest the framed warrant

WILSON WINNING.
(FresnO Republican,

President Wilson has evidently won ms orig

tial enough thing to justify hope that 1t may I'll
timatev evolute into real international power
nresiding over the destinies of the world 10
have accomplished this and to be himself the
probable first president of the world is surely
a great triumph
It could be wished however. that the presl-
dent had been more specific uDon the precise
noints on which the chief difficulties Will oc-
cur and less specific upon his allegation tnat ne
acts as the messenger of the American people
under their mandate The American pope
have issued no mandate on this subject; neither
the president nor anyone else knows what their
opinions on it are, and they are not even INFORM
ed, except as they are being gradually informed
bv occasional non -comnittal speeches. what the
presidents opinion is.
It is known that the president went to Eu-
rope with scme very positive views on dlsarma-
ment and particularly on putting restrictions
on arbitrary naval power at sea, as we'll as on
arbitrary military power on land. He and Lloyd
George allege themselves to be now in agree
ment, but there is no hint that LLOYD Gorge
has retracted anv part of his original statement
that he would WELD nothing at all on the cues
ton of British domination of the seas. Ii on this
point President Wilson has won any victory, the
news of it has not yet escaped. And if, upon
the specific points which he insists he is the
messenger of the American people the president
has in fact any such nandat, it must be by pro-
cess cf telepathy which escapes the cable censor
ship. How there can be any mandate from
people who have expressed no opinions and have
imposed those opinions upon messenger whc
has not stated what they are is beyond the
bounds of merely human reasoning
However, if we get the league OF nations in
a form that can really function, these criticisms
of the method by which it is got may remain
just but they will be ignored. Nothing sue
ceeds like success, and if the president succeeds
he is a success.

The Ballot in Its Closest
 Relation To The People

Recently an election was to be held in each of the 86 distr ic ts of the county for the purpose of electihg men to serve as direc- tors of our schools. This caused the writer to consider the rela- tion of the ballot and it's use in relation to the people. This cleo tion is. in the mind of the writer, the most important of all the political privelages that the free dom of a Democracy bestows up- on it's citizens.
 Another question for considera- tion was the local school levy. 1 am glad to note that many dis tricts voted the limit. Of course in districys where this was not necessary it was good business policy not to vote more tax than is necessary but the writer knows of few schools in the country that do not need improving. Bet ter buildings. better equipment (as charts, mays, globes, and libraries and better teachers should be the slogan of those who are interested in the cause of education. do not wish to imply that the teachers as a body are not rs good as those of some of our neighbor counties: but that teey have not been given the showing that is due so re sponsible a position. From a financial standpoint good school is sane policy for the farmer because 1t increases the value of his lane. for the merchant since people prefer to live in a com munity where there are good schools, for the employer of pub- lie labor because the good school is also an attractl on to the labor CT as well.
 To the directors l will say that yours is a respo nsible position that upon you in a large meas ure rests the sucbess of the school. It is your duty to see that teachers are hired that have at heart the interest of the school-if there should not be a teacher of this kind. The con- ing conditions of things demand a more efficient system of ed ucation. Ana one way to get this efficiency is to employ trained teachers.
 Hyping this will receive a favorable reception,
