THE KAISERS COSTLY AFRICAN l"OLICY. Unless the optimism of the German press is unwarranted, the "conversa tions between the trench and Her man foreign offices over Morocco will end shortly, and the war specter which has had the world's money markets in a cold sweat for months will be laid for the time being. The statement is unofficially made at Ber lin that remaining points of difference between the two powers are non-essentials. The German reply to French proposals was to leave fierlln yester day. ; As settlement in full for the claims and demands Germany has made In Morocco, France has offered that part of the Congo which has the river Sanga as its Southern boundary, with a strip of territory giving an outlet to the Atlantic above Libreville. In re turn, she insists upon having an abeo lutely free hand politically in Morocco and upon economic equality tn that country for all the powers. So much has the Kaiser gained by his coup of sending a warship to Agadir, following the independent attitude of the French government after their occu pation of Fez last spring in violation the kaiser asserted, of the Algeicras agreement. Emperor William has again shown, for the third time In six yers, that, al 4 i .... muugni last in that fertile field, he Is a factor to be reckoned with in m vo. u. iiuning or Arnca. But. leaving: aside the enormous debt under which nis tax-riauen empire staggers, the price which Germany must pay for this war dance is frightful The Bourse has gone through crisis after crisis in the past month and it is said it will require years of peace for it to re cover is position. Germany is wi.vy Dorrower, especiall from France and England, the powers which the Kaiser Is antagonizing, and this money is being called in. De " i't repayment must also be faced from St Petersburg and Vienna and to make bad matters worse Ger. man depositors are withdrawing their money from the banks. This Inevlta bly means that commercial and In dustrial expansion has been seriously checked. Furthprmr fn,.i..

The German emperor however, ha, never seemed to be satisfied with the terms of this agreement, which expires next January- and It has been presumed that his present activity Is to get si bolter tfnare In any supplemental understanding which may be reached or to compel France to buy him off. The latter he appears to have succeeded In doing.

Germany has a large and Increasing merchant marine, In. which, by the way. It Is said the kaiser Is heavily interested personally, and which does a thriving business in African waters. It is thus seen that the kaiser has been in a measure successful in his African diplomacy, but what his peo ple think of paying the piper is an other question. THE "RULE OP REASON." President Taft declared in his De troit speech, In speaking of the Sher man anti-trust law: "It has required 20 years of litigation to make the statute clear. ui u is now t... Mr. Taft is confident that the statute has been strengthened, rather than weakened by the court's application of the rule of reason. He said further: "I repeat again, that In spite of all the denunciations that we have heard of the decisions of the Supreme court in the Standard. Oil and Tobacco eases, there is not one who has critl cised them that can formulate a con tract in restraint of trade that does not come within it under the decision of the court." These things being, true, there are some people who seem to think the President should see to it that cer tain trust magnates are put in Jail. The New York World is of this opin ion, saying: "But with all resiect to the President, we do not believe he will ever put a full set of teeth into the Sherman law until he enforces it as a criminal statute. Permanent injunctions have their part in destroy ing restraints of trade, but half a dozen trust magnates in Jail wouia oe a continuing object lesson that all of them would soon learn." The World says tne rresiuem uimncu .;..... words from his Detroit speech, fear ing that its delivery, as originally drafted, would have occasioned alarm in the circles of big finance. Capital is certainly timid, when the- President of the United States fears to speak plainly of the intentions of the law- department of the government rela tive to the enforcement of a law which has the approval of the Presi dent and the department of Justice. It would seem, if the law is Just, and if its enforcement would be proper, that the President might say what he pleased about Its enforcement with- lout sending a shiver of gooseflesh ap- I prehension through the big corpora- Hons. Perhaps the fact that the President does choose his words with such marked care may be taken to Indicate that the government, in handling this antitrust weapon, will not for a mo ment lose sight of "the rule of sea- son Here are a few general platltudln ous exhortations and remarks that might lie given a particular applica tion Just at this time, or almost any time.

Editor of The Gazette-News: Apropos: of the agitation by Child's Welfare society of the ques tion of playgrounds for children, and of Dr. Hart's expert testimony in re gard to the value of such a provision. it may be well to recall a coincidence that seems to the writer very signlfl cant. Ten or twelve years ago. more or less, a "gang" of small boys in a certain part of the town organized a baseball club; and, having no better place for the game, they began to play on one of the residential streets A "cop," In the performance of his sworn duty, soon put a stop to this. ine youngsters men repaired to a vacant lot, wnicn they round much better suited to their purpose. They were congratulating themselves on the good that had come out of seem ing evil, and were ready to pass a vote of thanks to the officer of the law, when the owner of the property nppeared and drove them from the field. The boys knew something of Mr. George W. Pack and his benefi cences, and by an unerring instinct they felt sure of his sympathy. Ac cordingly they addressed a note to this noble philanthropist and philo- paidist (if I may coin a word to suit the occasion), in which they laid the case before him and asked if they might not play on the vacant proper ty then owned by him on South French Broad avenue. In a few days they received what might be called 8 "boyish" reply from Mr. Pack, so full was it of genuine Insight and sympa thy, touched with fresh reminiscence of his own boyhood and playful nllu slons to "old unhappy far-off things iind battles long ago," when he too had to face the difficulties and limi tations which eternally confront the boyhood of the world. He closed his note with the expression of a hope and desire that the city of Ashevllle might soon be able to provide a suit able playground for the boys. Within a short time after this, not more than two weeks, I think, Mr. Pack present ed to the city the very piece of prop erty the boys had asked leave to play on, which is now known ns Aston park. Whether the boys wish was father to Mr. Pnck's thought, I do not know. I only know that the ex pression of their wish closely preceded the donation of the park. The coin cidence seems significant. It may be that these boys picked the lock of Mr. Pack's heart, which was not hard thing for Innocent burglars to do, and rifled It of the treasure we call Aston park. Whether this was the case or not there can be little doubt that the cltv ought to provide as soon as possible suitable playgrounds for the children Roys without an opportunity for wholesome play are not likely to de velop into men with a taste for whole some work.

Yet there was danger in such a decision, for while effective state regulation of In trastate rates may be rendered Im possible, the federal authority would stin De non-effective in the same area, and the twilight zone between federal and state control would ap- oear wherein the carriers would be supreme. From the s'andpolnt of the itate, such a situation would seem in nifferable; and it Is not surprising that of the 26 governors present at the conference when this subject was considered all but one Joined in the movement to make the conference narty in the case before the United states Supreme court. But, putting aside the special cause of the action of the governors, how ire we to answer many of the ques tions which Immedlut ly arise in con nection with the step they have tak en? There are no indications that the conference considered these ques Hons, except in the most hurried and 'iirsory manner. According to the press report, a committee of three governors, Harmon of Ohio, Hadley jr Missouri and Aldrich of Nebraska, was appointed "to represent the gov ernors' conference In this case, and 'o file briefs with the Supreme cqurt ia a protest against Judge Sanborn decision." It Is necessary to observe .hat the committee or three are to represent, before the United States Supreme court, not the state of the I'nlon, not even the states of which ;he three men are the governors, but 'the governors' conference." The ate of Minnesota. hxs a definite and recognized legal standing before the court In the case in question, inas much as that state, has appealed from Judge Sanborn's , decision; and any other state, or number of states, might ntervene perhaps If that state's inter ests were affected,. Hut what stand ing before the court would such )ody as the "governors' conference" nJoy? The governor's conference is neither in American citizen nor an American tate. It has nothing that has hither 10 leen recognized as a legal or cor porate entity. Suppose the court asks. Who or what are you? ' By what arguments are the . three -governors and their counsel . to convince the ourt that they, representing not their respective comnnweaiths, but a con lerrnce 01 only out or 41 gover nors convened for the discussion of public questions, for the exchange of in formation and for social Inter- ourse, are entitled to be heard as one of the Interested parties In the .ase before that august tribunal? The three governors will not vn ha ihlt the conference had been officially in dorsed by the legislatures of the states represented at- Rnrlnr Lk And would not that fact raise the ad. Jltional Question whnthor tha vnvr. intervene, on their ewn Initiative, In the absence of uny; sanction from their respective legislatures. In a case which, strictly speaking, concerned Minnesota alone? It Is enough to say that if the I'nlted States Supreme court should concede the right of the governors' conference to be heard at the bar of hat tribunal, the court's action would lie equivalent to an official recogni tion by the highest Interpreter of con stitutional law In America of the standing of the conference under the American, constitutional system. We should than hiv. In the governors' conference, an . ntirely new tranch of government, with a atatus established un the unshakable rock of the court' recognition of Its existence as a pollt leal entity entitled to be heard in the settlement of judicial and constltu tlonal questions. It is hardly pnmibie that such a de velopment would be viewed with com posure even by the states, for, not with standing the fact that the gover nors' conference could be depended upon to defend and also promote the rights of the states; these common wealths would never view without Jeslousy the creation out of their own SEE nSTlTSS subordinate to tht-ir own.
