ENGLAND INSiSTENT

The official or authorized state
msnt that a minister has made him
scls unacceptable. or even that he
has ceased to be persona grata, to
the government to which he is ac-
credited. is sufficient to invoke the
Difference of a friendly power ard
the observance of the courtesy and
the practice regulating the diplo-
matte intercourse of the powers Of
ChristCndom for the recall Of ar
Objectionable minister. The decla-
ration Of the authorized representa-
tive Of the power to which an Of
Tending minister is accredited is all
that can properly be asked. and all
that self-respecting power could
give"
1t Is recalled that when in 1871
the Russian government refused to
recall, at our request. Catacazy,
our government gave his country
the alternative of recalling him or
OF having him expelled. At that
time our secretary of State, Hamil-
to<- Fish. gave expression to the
above policy, to which we have ad-
hered. We have not insisted on re-
tanning a diplomatic representative
at a post in a country where he is
not wanted.
England's attitude stands out. by
reason of contrast, in the contro-
vorsy with Mexico over the British
Charge des Archives. who has made
himself Objectionable to the Next
can Government. The Mexican
government has requested this
officials recall. England has
haggled and kept him at his post.
Finally the Mexican Government
threw a guard about tho residence
OF the British representative and
threatened entry and deportation.
England has finally recalled the Of
fetal and has no representation at
the seat of the Mexican Government.
There is "a suspicion that oil
claims are somewhere. at the bottom
OF this regrettable incident.

1918 the government has collected $780,
600, 900, 600 in taxes. which is more than
twice the cost of all the American au-

Heavy federal estate taxes and

the law and the voters should see that

need of injustice in the United States
which justifies abandoning privacy IN

for everyone to work out his own des-

without taxing the widows and depen-
dents of dead men there might he some
justification for an estate tax; but that
Is not the case. Such a tax is direct

FOCUSED ATTENTION

General Dawes. 1t is said, is not an
habitually profane person even if he
did focus public attention by a "cuss
word" back when a Congressional in
vestigating committee was "fddling"
over the question whether certain
army expenditures were regular or
not. Dawes was called before them.
He said his say. since which time
nothing has been heard from that
committee.
Here Is part Of what he said on
that memorable occasion, said, per-
haps at the risk Of being termed a
profane person, but which neverthe-
less accomplished the end in view:
Hell and Maria. if you men would
spend more time trying to stem the
millions of waste going on under

Editor of the Journal,
Dear Sir:
Have just finished the editorial
have We Learned Our Lesson"
am a regular and usually approving
reader OF your paper. / fail to see
the logic or laying the results of the
primaries to the opposing political
party. There are several factors
hard to account for accurately. For
lnstapce, the so-called Khan infiu-
ence or the expected influence of the
women voters.
When j recall the record of the
first candidate for Governor which
the Republicans put before their
women voters, l fail to see how the
women of the state owe the party
anything.
Our small town was we'll repre.
scented at the primaries. The eff
forts which the candidates made in
June Will stand them in good stead
IN september. Surely our memories
are as long as that.
So far az being respected is con-
cerned. IL that is what the party
wishes let them be sure to be de-
serving and 1t will follow naturally.
Would suggest that Have We

good heading for an editorial OF diff
ferent nature.

out of the front door of her house, safe
and dry IN big knothole in one OF the
posts.

"Oh, dear" sighed the little rabbit,

Just then across the Sunny Meadow

"Cheer-up! Cheer-up"' I guess he was
singing to pretty Mrs. Redvest.

NOT POLITICAL ATTRIBUTES

The Republican national platform
declares: Dishonesty and cor
ruption are not political attributes"
This Is true. Any attempt to deny
IL, to accuse either of those great
political organizations. the Repub-
lican or the Democratic party. with
being corrupt Is unwarranted and
will come home to bother the &C.
cuser.
One Is reminded Of this by tie
testimony given by Mrs. Mabel w.
Wnlebrandt. assistant attorney gen
eral, before the Daugherty commit
tee this week. Speaking Of enforce
ment, she told them and the tvi-
dence bears her out: THE real
trouble Is not in passing the buck,
but the influence of politicians
through some Senator or Congress-
man in aiding or blocking an agents
appointment"
Her testimony was interesting Cor
she evidently knew wha. she was
talking about. She told them of
Senator Reed OF Missouri ge.pS to
the White House on behalf Of one
notorious bootlegger. Reinus, who
nevertheless went to Atlanta. She
also declared, and our recoiiections
will bear her OF. 60 well as the
evidence, that during the closing
days of the Wilson administration
things ran wide OPEN" The news
papers were full Of reports to this
effect, there Is no doubt Of 1t and
extreme probability that important
Democratic leaders proHted from 1t.
This doesn't necessarily prove that
Democratic party Is corrupt
party or that 1t Is given over
to corrupt leadership. 1t IL made
up of human beings. as Is
every great political organization,
some OF whom are not over
scrupulous. The sentiment OF
neither of the great parties supports
corruption or tolerates corrupt
leadership for very long. There is
nothing in the record that enables
any one OF them truthfully to ac-
cuse the other OF being corrupt.
dishonesty and corruption are not
political attributes" That's the
truth.
