Comment
the
on
Day 's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THERE are rioting and bloodshed In
Berlin, and the Prussian diet.
which corresponds roughly to the
legislature ot one of our great states,
V'such as New York, la dissolved by ot.
llclal decree of President Paul von
Hlndenburg
No real comparison can be drawn
between the government of Germany
and the government at Washington,
fearful of excessca and disorders,
should dismiss the legislature of the
state of New York, thus paving the
way to a dictatorship.
TRU8SIA, of course, can not
f JT compared to any state In this
union. It la Germany's super-state,
dominating German affairs In a way
that we can not understand In this
country.
l.THAT does It all mean?
T? Thla writer does not pretend to
know In detail, but It Is evident that
these disorders, coming along with all
the others that have taken place re
cently, 'ndlcate widespread popular
dlsccr.'tent with existing conditions In
Germany and considerable determina
tion to change these conditions.
Until the people of Germany be.
come better satisfied with what Is
going on, there will be no such thing
as stability.

CECRETARY ot state Stlmson signs
kj the "lame duck" amendment to
the constitution, and hereafter new
congressmen will take their scats in
January after being elected In Novem
ber. Instead of waiting a little more
than a year to get Into action, as has
been the case In the past.
It was the Idea of the founders of
this republic that affaire of govern
ment should move as slowly as pos
sible, so as to avoid the danger of
sudden changes of opinion that might
result In overthrow of the govern
ment. We of this day. more confident ol
the etablllty of our institutions, are
drifting steadily In the direction ot
quicker and ever-quicker action ot
greater responsiveness on the part of
government to the popular will.
WHETHER the founders of the re
public were right or whether we
are right la too big a question to be
answered offhand. Only time can tell
a, as to that. But thla la a popular gov
eminent, and popular government
must of necessity be made responsive
Co public opinion.
WHEN this government was estab
lished, It was regarded In the
older countries as little short of sin
fully radical. We laugh now at tnat
Idea.
If the founders of thla republic, who
thought they were departing radi
cally from all the accepted theories
of government, could come back and
see how far we have gone since their
time, they would be shocked.
We think our government Is so con
servative that It leans far backward.
Ideaa change, don't they?

Report British to Offer Huge
Sum in Cash to Clear
European Obligations to
U.S. Gets Rebuff in Senate
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Chair
man Borah of the senate foreign re
lations committee today threw his In
fluence against a lump sum cash set
tlement of the European war debt,
or any other settlement that embraces
no trade concessions for this country.
- Commenting on dispatches from
abroad that the British would pro
pose in the coming negotiations with
President-elect Roosevelt a cash set
tlement of between $1,250,000,000 and
$2,000,000,000 in payment for the
$11,000,000,000 of Europe's war obli
gations, the Idaho senator In a state
ment said:
"I am not Interested In any plan
which deals with the debts that docs
not include the adjustment of the
currency question and certain other
problems which stand in the way of
opening up world markets and re
storing trade and commerce.
"A lump sum payment would not
do us any good of a permanent na
ture, unless we can find markets and
restore the purchasing power of the
people."
On the house aide of the capltol,
the Democratic leader Balney of Illi
nois called the proposal to offer a
lump sum settlement of about ten
cents on a dollar "sheer nonsense."
"The American people won't stand
for it," he insisted.

During the course of the trial this
afternoon of W. H. Norcross against
Howard A. Hill, L. A. Banks and other
frultmen. it was charged that 'due to
failure of the sheriff's office to make
proper service of subpoenas" on L. A.
Banks and A. J. Blschoff, his secre
tary, they failed to appear as wit
nesses. Attornev Porter J. Neff said In open
court that the subpoenas had been
placed in the hands of the sheriff
yesterday, "with fees."
The attorney informed the court
that "Blschoff was advised by tele
phone, with the result that he Is now
hiding out to evade service."
The subpoenas were placed m tne
hands of Deputy sheriff Phil Lowd,
Attorney Neff said.
Attorney Neff said Banks and Bls
choff were desired as witnesses to
testify to collection of three-quarters
of a cent per box of pears. Zt vrns
then agreed by stipulation between
counsel that the levy had been col
lected by Banks.

merce. There were 108 visitors In the

BOOM FOR HULL
IDEA.JSJN1HT
Many Private Conferences
by Phone Revealed Aim
to Name Senator Secre-!
tary State Irks Advisers
By Paul Million
(Copyrighted by McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. Mr. Roose
velt personally started the Hull boom
for secretary of state. It nearly
brought him to a break with his brat
known public advisers.
It also brought to light an Inside
story of Senator Hull's connections
In the last campaign which was not
even suspected by Mr. Roosevelt's
closest friends. Those two were sel
dom seen together. Yet they appear
to have done twice as much private
conferring since the pre-conventlon
campaign as any of the other publlo
itgures around Mr. Roosevelt. They
did tt all by long distance telephone.'
One day Mr. Roosevelt called Sena
tor Hull six times.
his clandestine comradeship start-'
ed at the Jackson Day dinner here
last year. Hull caught Mr. Roosevelt's '
eye by leaping Into the fray against
the Raskob-Smlth steamroller. After
that Mr. Roosevelt took few political
steps toward the presidency without
consulting the modest senator from
Tennessee,
The mere fact that Hull kept all
this secret for so long Is sufficient ,
evidence of his Integrity. Apparently ,
Mr. Roosevelt is picking hia cabinet ,
on a personal integrity basis. Hull
fits snugly In that picture with Sen
ators Glass and Walsh. , v, . ...
From a political standpoint the
Hull appointment would be a dud.'
Mr. Roosevelt has been forcefully In
formed of that fact by most of thore
around him. That Is the situation
which undoubtedly prompted Mr.
Roosevelt to say in the presence of
Falrley, Flynn and Frank Walker:
"I want to say In their presence'
that I will not discuss the cabinet
with them. That Is peculiarly my
own official family."
There Is another precedent shat
tered. .
