TRUE TO FORM

At time when the American poo
pie were paying respect to the
memory OF one Of their presidents
Germany considered 1t was not an
occasion mcriting any outward man
Hesitation on the part of her embassy
mt our national capital. When the
charitably inclined OF our people are
being bcsought for aid to Germany's
hungry that country evidently could
see nothing OF advantage in rccog-
nizing the American point OF view.
Once again, and as cmphaticallv
rs circumstances would permit. the
German mind has been revealed as
strangely incompetent To compre-
bend the human feelings OF others.
Perhaps this Lack of comprehension
leads Germans to suppose there Is
n like lack in other peoples. 1t
would seem so. This may account
in part for her attempts to deceive
the world with pretenCcs of poverty.
As n matter OF fact she has succeed
ed In deepening the impression that
the truth is net in her.
Right now General Dawes IS pay
ing little attention to the figures her
statisticians have compiled respect
Ing her financial condition. lie Is
going to the bottom and is finding
many clumsy devices that have been
employed to conceal her actual con-
dition.
Possibly Germany believes Presi-
dent Wilson tricked her into sur
render instead of thinking, as they
profess. that he showed dcplorabie
weakness in securing those advan
tages which they assume he led
them to expect IL they would sur
render. When one looks back at
the kind OF propaganda which
Germany cultivated in this country,
one wonders Germans should he such
poor losers as to whine over being
tricked by us. But IL Germany be-
lieves she lost through trickery her
leaders know better. They are try
ing to deceive tho people.

Creation of a Precedent?

PubliC Ledger
The intermcnt of Woodrow Wilson
in the Washington Cathedral may
mean the creation of precedent and
the eventual establishment of the
Cathedral as a national shrine of
Sfpulture to make it the Westminster
Abbey of our nation. The Cathe-
dral, which will not be completed for
five years at least, will not
permit its walls to be defaced, as in
the case of the abbey, with huge
cenotaphs and memorials for nonen-
titles. 1t will not permit the burial
OF prctcntious mcdiocrity in the
sacred room that should be assigned
as the hallowed resting place of the
truly great If the building is jeai

pilgrimage it should become, it will

reared stone on stone with spirit of
piety and devotion scarcely surpassed

Middle Ages

FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS

The decision, that the crime Of
driving an automobile while drunk is
. felony, Is one which should result
IN more uniform punishment for the
offence in this state.
Under this ruling the offender will
be brought before the grand jury for
Indictment and will not be subject
to the jurisdiction OF police courts or
trial justices. who may have more
ienient views than will obtain when
the gravity OF the crime is empha-
sized under the new procedure.
The law as now amended fixes the
penalty. imprisonment for not less
than 80 days nor more than one year.
Or = ilne not exceeding $1,000, or both
fne and Imprisonment
1t would seem that we have the
law and the method of applying 1t
well prescribed. There remains the
enforcement. That had, It is reason
able to suppose the minds OF those
who have no other scruples against
driving cars when drunk will find
this at least a substitute for a very
compelling scruple: in other words
they will arrange their DRINKS for
some other locality than behind the
Steering wheel of an automobile. 1t
