DEATH OF JUDGE HENDERSON.

The death of Judge Robert R. Hen
derson removes a figure and silences
a voices that has been prominent in
the affairs of this community for up
wards of forty years. His passing be-
sides being a matter of natural grief
to members of his family and of de-
pressing sorrow to his close friends
and associates, makes an occasion OF
regret and melancholy reflection for
all who feel the loss of fine citizen
who has filled public positions of dis
tinction and high responsibility with
marked capability and dutifulness.
During the early decades OF his life,
as a private citizen, and the admins
traitor, in citizens capacity, of I'M
portant affairs, Judge Henderson mer-
tied from those who came in contact
with him the esteem that belongs to
the type of person that may be briefly
described as fine man. 1t was in his
eighteen years service on the bench
that the fine character and marked
attachments of Judge Henderson
shone for ALL He was an ideal judge.
And it is no reflection on any who
occupied the position before or since
to state that his equipment for the
work and his dutiful industry added
to the lustre of the judiciary in this
circuit-Cumberland Evening Times.

THE CURSE OF KAISERISM.

Just when the world is doing its
best to believe that Germany has re-
formed, something happens to awaken
all its sorest memories and bitterest
feelings. Early this year when the
Preparations question was being dis
cussed at London, the allied peoples
were aroused by Herr Simons' en-
deavor to repudiate Germany's adj
mission of her guilt in the great war
The immediate effect was hardening
of the wills Of those who had suffered
from German aggression and stron-
ger determination that she must pay
to the limit
Again in the present Preparations
crisis we have similar piece of
laundering impudence. The ex-kaiser
writes a letter trying to whitewash
himself, and the junkers use it to
arouse their country against what
they claim to be the unjust demands
of the allies.
Germany may as well recognize
once for all that the question of her
guilt in the war has been determined
1t was only formally determined by
the action of her own representatives
in definitely admitting it over their
signatures to the treaty at Versailles.
1t had already been determined by
the combined verdicts of neutral as
well as enemy countries.
The tactics now employed by the
ex-kaiser's friends are meant to stiff
fen the attitude of the Wirth govern
ment in the hope that it may be able
to force the allies, not merely to agree
to a REIMBURSEMENT of the method in
which reparations shall be paid, but
to great reduction in the amount of
Preparations agreed upon.
For their own and for the worlds
sake, the allies are willing to con-
slider the substitution of some method
of payment that will not act as
boomerang against those who have
already suffered far too much from
Germany. But they will assuredly
agree to no alienation of Germany's
burden unless they are convinced of
Germany's good faith. 1t will be
harder than ever to convince them of
that if the German people take an at
titude of injured innocence at every
conceivable opportunity of seeing how
far that normal disarmament" has
progressed when we have fuller evil
dence of German reaction to the kai-
ser's letter.
