The Kaiser at DOorn

More than usual weight may be
attached to the interview given by
William II at Doorn to Baron Glenn
ems Won Radowitz-Nei, an account
of which has been given to the
New York Times. Baron Won Rado-
witz was formerly member OF the
German diplomatic service, but is
now naturalize / IN Austria. He is
we'll acquainted with the former en-
reror. and his uncle was head Of the
German delegation at the Algeeslras
conference. His report should be
more trustworthy than some earlier
interviews, passages in which have
been challenged.
No very sensational utterances
are attributed to William ii, except
that he is for the first time quoted
as definitely renouncing hope of re-
turnins to the throne. This passage
is Cf Interest,"
"What does the new generation
think of me?" he asked.
:It knows nothing about you,"
answered.
The ex xkaiser sighed.
II want nothing" he said, eek
cept to hide myself. But, tell me
has the new generation forgotten it's
monarchical ideas and the glory OF
the Hohenzollerns?"
"There is a good deal of mon
archist sentiment in Germany"
told him.
"The monarchy. will come back, "
he said then. mot now-after some
years. / don't know how or when,
But I shall not come back"
"Who will restore the monar-
chy?" / asked. But he did not an
swer; only he asked me more about
the public's opinion of the Hohenzol-
lerns.
The prediction that the monarchy
will come back need not be inter
preted as more than firm convic-
ton, and indeed it would be surpris-
ing if so firm a believer in the divine
right of kings were to express any
other view. But William III can
hardly be SO remote from German
politics as to be unaware of the
growth in Germany iof antagonism

NEED FOR A NEW LAW

At Xenia a foolish minister who
deserted his wife and nine children
was brought back under arrest. He
was fined $500 and sent to the
workhouse for year He is un-
able to pay the fine, SO the date OF
his release is uncertain. Meanwhile
his wife and nine little ones must
depend on public or private charity.
This case is a conspicuous illus
tration of how badly some things
may be done according to law.
Theoretically the man is being pun
ished. Actually the whole punish
ment is being visited on the wife and
children In prison the man will
be fed, clothed, cared for if sick, all
his creature comforts provided. OF
course he is in prison and that
hurts, but a man who abandons lit
tie ones is lacking the finer sensibii-
tiles that make imprisonment Sc
we're. While he is cared for the
wife and children are left to the
tender mercies of chance. The man
needs discipline but it should be
visited on him without crushing the
innocent members of the family.
Under the present law they bear
the burden. 1t is the law but it is
not right.
Quite properly in Ohio abandon
ment of and failure to provide for
minor children is felony, The
man guilty may be sent to the peni-
Tertiary A goodly number are
there for that cowardly offense. 1t
was just and wise and proper for the
state to provide that law. Up to
that point the law is good. The SEN
tence is not less than one or more
than three years. That sentence re-
fleets mere vengeance than justice
and does little credit to the legisla-
ture that passed it. The foolish
minister at Xenia and all others of
that ilk ought to be made to pro-
vide for their children. The law
should provide that penalty for
them. 1t is folly to lock up the
man and leave the family to suffer.
When a man, so sentenced, is in the
penitentiary the state pays the fam
! lily a pittance of 40 cents a day, just
enough to admit the injustice done.
There is constructive talent in
Ohio to write better law, one with
more of justice in its provisions.
one that would carry the burden,
one with adequate discipline for un-

of experience that sentence of not

THROWING SMOKE SCREENS

Last week there appeared in the
Herald an editorial under the cap
tion of "Waste of White Space.
Yes Wilbur we will all agree that
that editorial of yours was waste
Of white space" since no gray mat
ter was evident. In that article ne
threw the worst fit that he has since
the result of the last local Z. y.
civil service eligible list was made
public. 1t all came about because
we in little pleasantly showed up
mole hill economy, which he had
pictured as mountain of saving.
When he saw how ridiculously fool
| ish it really was-that $11 saving
| in two years, he attempted to throw
all sorts of smoke screens to cover
up his first statements, with
malicious attack on us.
He ranted about various Demo-
cratic officers and took whack at
Woodrow Wilson's extravaganza.
| (His reference was copied from the
Republican campaign book of 1920
which is now clear out of date. and
which most Republicans want TO for
get. He finally landed on us when
we were tax commissioner. Here he
thought he made a ten strike when
he asked how many bids for job
work we asked from the Herald
when we were district commission
er. Now Wilbur, we are sorry we
cannot answer your question as to
how many, but this we do know,
that there was never one dollars

THE CHAUTAUQUA

Conditions in general considered,
the 18th annual assembly OF MUS
kingum Valley Chautauqua when
closed Sunday night, was very sue
cessful. While there were several
minor disappointments in talent not
reaching here on time, when one
considers tho condition the railroads
are in as the result of the strike, IL
is a wonder that there were not
many more appointments, since
many who appeared had to make
long jumps from one place to an
other. with barely enough time to
get from one Chautauqua to another
on schedule, even if the railroads
were running in normal condition.
The music was unusually strong
this season, and the lectures were
about as good as the average. But
very little adverse criticism can be
offered on any of them. There was
one speaker. however. who rather
SCCN
lures by one slip, which we are sure
ne would not have made had he
known conditions here. We have
reference TO the lecturer who con-
demned picture shows, making no
exception as we are informed, but
placing them all in the same class.
Visitors or those not familiar with
our movie conditions here, might
feel he included our local picture
show when he uttered his condem-.
nation. There is just as much diff
ference between movie concerns as
there is between musical organiza-
tions, lectures, or any other forms
of entertainment.
There have come many as strong
and uplifting messages from the
screen in the local opera house as
have been delivered in this
place, from platform or pulpit. The
manager of the local opera house is
just as conscientious in the run
ming of his business as is any pas
tor in his work. During Chautau-
qua he almost entirely closed down
his business in order that he might
not draw from the Chautauqua
crowds. He has on various oc-
casions given free matinees for chill
dren and their mothers, doing it at
big expense to himself. These
pictures are always of the uplifting
sort. Together with such pictures
he has had addresses by different
ones TO the young people, along the
higher things of life. OF course re-
marks by Chautauqua lecturers who
deliver many addresses during a
season, have sort of set tu"m to &C
by, and before delivering them they
probably fail to inquire as to locaI
conditions. However here is q
place where many of them fall
down. We write the foregoing sole
Iy on our own initiative and entirely
unsolicited by the proprietor oi
the local opera house. To condemn
moving pictures in wholesale man
ner, because some are not good
which we all grant. is about the
same as condemning all office hold
ers or politicians because some are
corrupt, or condemning preachers
in general because once in a Ions
tain conditions may have gone
astray.
