but he had made it plain that he pro-
posed to resume his activity. and
limited at an aspiration to a very high
office. He was cordially hated by the
junkers on account Of his peace efforts
in 1917. and especially because it was
he who signed the armistice terms. In
a sense Erzberger was the goat" OF
the peacemaking. But his foes con-
tended that he preached peace and
urged acceptance Of the allied terms in
order to break down the war spirit,
and that he therefore contributed to
Germany's humiliation.
To western minds Erzberger was ac
tually the smartest of the Germans OF
his day, for he realized more clearly
than others that the war had been lost
and that the course of wisdom was .tC
seek the best terms possible. But the
service he rendered then was not ap
preciated by his own people. and there
was evidently determination in a
certain quarter not to permit him to
resume political activity. To this end
the expedient Of assassination, un
known in Germany for a very long
period up to 1919, was employed. The
tragedy is ominous in its significance
for Germany.

Panama Repudiates.

Panama'S acQuieScence in the re-
fusal of the United States to inter-
vene to prevent Costa Rica from TAX
ing possession Of the disputed terri
tory has apparently been made with
distinct reservations. There is evil
dence that the government at Panama
City hopes for a reopening OF the case
by some undetermined means. Indi.
cation to this effect is afforded by re-
fusal by Panama to recognize the ap.
pointment by Chief Justice Taft Of two
members of the commission to mark
the physical boundary. in accordance
with the findings Of the late Chief JUS
tice White.
The Panaman note is novelty in
international affairs. According to re.
port, it declares that, Panama having
rejected the White decision, the arbi-
tration agreement entered into before
the award "does not exist" If it were
existent authority from Panama and
Costa Rica, it is claimed. would be
necessary before the Chief Justice
could make nominations to the COM
mission.
Under this line of reasoning either
side to an arbitration to which it sub
mits can reject the award and cancel
the agreement to arbitrate If the de-
cision is unfavorable to it. In other
words, 1.-The agreement holds only in
case we win" Somebody must lose.
more or less. Consequently. one side
or the other may reject the award.
This works around to the old minstrel
joke about the boarding house rule:
Fruit must not be taken from the
table: to prevent fruit being taken
from the table there will be no fruit" ;"
Panama may have grounds for COM
plaint on the score Of the appointment
of the boundary commission without
consultation with her. but assuredly
not on the basis Of the default Of the
award. The award stands and the
agreement remains binding. Panama
is proving herself such bad loser in
this case that she is alternating Ameri-
can sympathy.

The Mingo County Imbroglio.

The West Virginia coal situation is
the more discouraging by reason Of
the pitch to which their anger has
driven the rank and file of the miners.
In their present mood they seem in
capable of reasoning either as to- their
own interests or the interests Of
others.
enough to take possession of the mines
they could not hold them. The au-
thorities would soon gather in force
sufficient to retake them. and restore
them to their owners for operation
If while in possession the extremists
among the miners destroyed property
they would have to share the losses.
Their work is there. Their living de-
pends on the preservation and opera
tion of the mines. The extent of the
destruction caused would measure the
increase in their own distresses. No
mining. no wages: no wages. want and
sorrow at home.
II they were to take human life in
pursuance of their lawless plans they
would be answerable for murder. If
they lost their own lives what would
the movement profit their families?
The whole distressing business ia so
ill-advised. so opposed to every sensi-
bic, conservative calculation. so de-
structive Of all agencies making for
better conditions and the restoration
of a good understanding between capi-
tai and labor, the reflection on the
miners and those who are misleading

government can be worked up to such

will dispose Of him st once and for all
time. SO far as public office Is con-
cerned.
On the other hand. If the governor is
acquitted: If he makes 1t clear that he
has done no wrong, and was indicted
on insufficient evidence. he may hope
to capitalize the verdict In his further
political aspirations. There Is q good
deal Of sentiment even in politics: and
1t often manifests itself toward a man
in the public eye who is, or has been.
falsely accused.
This case when it comes up for trial
will command wide attention. The
handling Of public money by an off,
cial custodian is an important matter,
and charges Of irregularity always
awaken interest. And where the off,
cial is highly placed. and the sum
large, all details are scanned with the
liveliest concern. The people want a
strict accounting from those intrust-
ed with their good money.

The Conference Visitors.

Plans for the social functions to
mark the disarmament conference arc
already under discussion. All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
The desire is that Jack shall have his
share Of play during conference time,
and SO be keyed up for his best per.
formances while at work.
There will be no lack Of entertain
ment. we may all be sure. 1t may be
the other way round. Unless care is
taken there may be too much. Jack
will have a good deal Of work to do,
and should be spared the time to do
it well.
Foreign visitors. especially celebri
ties, sometimes pleasantly complain OF
the superabundance, SO to say. OF
American hospitality. Too good time
is offered. and in way that makes
the overtures irresistible. A strong
constitution is required to stand the
strain.
But these conference visitors
celebrities all-will be seasoned men in
both work and play. For years they
have been accustomed to both. They
have had to do with big affairs. and
become familiar with doing them in q
big way. They Will be equal to any
card that may be prepared for intro
ducing them to the most enjoyable
features Of American social life.
The length Of the conference Is q
matter for conjecture. The business II
too important to be hurried, and every
body in attendance will have the time
to take q look around in any way the
hosts may provide. So in our prepara
tions for the conference we may safely
&C upon the assumption that our
guests will be with US for some weeks
If not months; and the assumption
suggests that while they remain every
thing possible should be done, as, Of
course, It will be, for their pleasure.

The Democratic Committee.

Chairman White. it is reported, will
call the democratic national commit
tee together in October. The meeting
will take place in this city. The OBJ
ject is to consider party interests in
relation to the campaigns Of this
year. which will be local. and the
campaigns of next year waged for
control Of the Sixty-eighth Congress.
Another sign of democratic perkiness.
Well, why not? Why should not the
minority sit up and take notice when
the ma ajority is facing an enormous
task and wrangling over questions
about its execution? This years cleo
tions are less than three months away,
and the majority is already laying its
plans for next year?
But the question has arisen. will
the committee at the October meeting
confine itself to campaign matters. or
will the suggestion Of Mr.. Whites
retirement from the chairmanship,
which was discussed last winter, be
raised again?
Somehow the public has taken up
the notion that a struggle Is on be-
tween the Cox people and the McAdoo
people for control Of the democratic
national committee, with 1924 in view.
This finds base in the idea that Mr..
McAdoo will seek to retrieve his de-
feat at San Francisco last summer.
and Gov. Cox his defeat at the polls
last November.
On two accounts. therefore. the Oc.
tober meeting Of the committee will
attract much attention.

Betty Wales Interprets the Mode for Misses

In a delightfully."- youthful
manner the coat dress makes
its appearance, the straight
lines broken only by a mar
row sash of the material:
inserted panels of jade
broadcloth and black braid
lend the desired color, and
are again repeated on
sleeves, vest and collar.
That fringe is used. we
must admit, and charmingly
so on a frock of blue, with
wheels of jade cloth and silk
braid, which end in deep
fringe. The long full
sleeves are gathered to a
narrow cuff of jade and
pipings of it trim the neck
line.
In misses frocks, favor lies
between the low dropped
waist and the blouse; braids
are extensively used, and
almost indescribably lovely
are the color tones of the
embroideries.

Minority and Speakership.

Both the tariff debate and the de-
bate on the tax bill showed the demo-
Gratis of the House alert, aggressive
and fairly well united. Old party cries
were heard in old party terms. 1t was
quite like old times.
The minority leader rallied his forces
by wire. Much to his regret. we may
all BE sure, Mr.. Kitchin was detained
at home. He has never entirely re-
covered his strength. The effect Of his
collapse some time ago while address.

peared. His physician counsels against
the excitement attaching to attend

reason of his long congressional serv.
ice and his present position. Champ
Clark went to the chair from the floor
leadership of the minority, and as re-
ward for services on the floor extend
ing over many years.
But if Mr.. Kitchin does not recover
his strength. and the democrats con-
troll the House, the speakership will be
a prize to be fought for. Hence the
interest taken now in the develop
ments on the democratic side Of the
chamber, where the old members are
very active and the new are watching
the corners with assiduity. The speak
ership is probably not absent from the
calculations Of either old or new.

Assassination in Germany.

The murder Of Matthias Erzberger
in the Black forest brings strongly
to mind the fact that political assas
sinadon has only lately occurred in
Germany. Until after the war it was
practically unknown in that country,
Rulers, prime ministers, leading states.
men, military commanders, admins
traitors fell in other lands, in America
as well as in Russia, in Portugal, in
India, in France, throughout the
world, in fact. But in Germany. as in
England, assassination for political
reasons was unknown. In February,
1919, began a series Of such killings
however, when Kurt Eisner, the
Bavarian premier, was slain at
Munich. Shortly afterward War Min
lister Neuring was killed at Dresden.
and later in that year Hugo Haase, the
president Of the German socialist
party, was assassinated at Berlin
Thus the Erzberger killing is the
fourth within a comparatively short
space of time in land that had been
previously unstained by this crime.
Undoubtedly the turmoil of war is
the cause of this change. The German
people tasted blood in the great con
test. They lost their old habit Of re-
beot for authority and office. They
became more individualistic than be-
fore. And when the republic was
formed. and the empire passed, they
found that those who administered
their affairs were mainly from the
ranks. This discovery and the pas
sions bred by the war produced as
