Last spring. through efforts inaugu-
rated by Mayor Bemis, the free potato
patch idea whs0given n partial demon
stration. As far as can be learned un-
officially results were satisfactory to
bcnefciaries and lot owners. The mayor
sought to oygapize a managing board
which would be non-partisan and non
sectarian. In this effort he succeeded
and it so happened that the man chosen
for secretary was at the head OF a
Catholic benevolent and charitable
society which has done n great deal OF
good in the community. His selection
as secretary of the potato patch COM
mittee was resented by the working
majority of the city council, which has
steadily refused to recognize the COM
mittee or to gather statistics showing
results of the first seasons work. Many
cities are writing to the mayor for this
information, as the subject is n of in
terest in every municipality. He cannot
furnish it. A small potato policy such
as that adopted by the council in this
matter should subject it to severe cen
sure upon the part of the people of this
city.

The Ideal and Real in War.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
War is impulsiveness. Ut is also regret.)
War is bravery. (Qt Is also the most in
describable savagery.)
War is a glorious privilege. ct is also a
lasting and bitter sorrow.)
War is the exuberant thrill of q national
pride. Ut is also the solemn and serious
problem of the taxpayer.)
War is the defiant tramp of pomp and
pageantry. Ut is also the rumbling Of the
dead wagon at midnight)
War is the brilliant deed that plants the
banner upon the frowning parapet. ct is
also the tolling of the bell in the quiet
chUrchyard.)
War is the mothers pride at the manly
march of the beardlese youth. Ut is also the
laying of a wreath upon an untimely grave.)
War is the wild glamour of a boyish
dream. Ut Is also a sea CT desolation whose
shores are lined with shattered hopes.)
War is the grand parade beneath the flag
consecrated by the blood of a million heroes.
Ut Is also the willy picket shot. the volley,
the charge, the roar Of conflict and the des-
perate hand-to-hand death struggle.)
War is the spirit of patriotic song. ut Is
also the signing away of the young life,
alone, beneath stars.)
War is something we all like to talk about.
ut Is something no experienced man wants
to see If 1t can be honorably avoided.)

EXUBERANT VENEZUELANS.

1t Is easy to understand the great
qualification felt by the people of Vene-
zuela over the position taken by the
United States in regard to the dispute
between that country and Great Brit
ain, but they should be careful not 10
allow their eXuberance to carry them
too far. They ought to understand that
while this government has affirmed n
principle which it believes to be vital
to its interests and welfare, 1t has by
nc means pledged itself to sustain them
against Great Britain, right or wrong.
The Venezuelan government Is organic
ing the military force and making other
preparations which indicate that it ey-
poets or desires war. Unless wise and
calm counsel prevails 1t may happen
that the V~enezuelans will attempt to
take forcible possession OF the territory
in controversy and thus precipitnte n
with the British. Ii they should
make this grave mistake they would
no claim to the support or help
OF the United States and would proba-

The National Credit Secure.

In 1861. Notwithstanding civil war had
begun, the credit Of the United States gov
eminent with its own citizens was so good
that MISUNDERSTANDING obligations and
COIN bonds were taken at the rate Of
nearly 81 ,O00, 900 a day to preserve the in
tegrity of the nation. The government credit
is equally good now and the people are as ready
to support 1t il they are appealed to. There
i5 no need Of huckstering with bank syndi-
Gates, much less Of seeking foreign loans.
The great government loans of thirty years
ago were successfully placed through the
agency of the national banks. and the same
thing could be done now.

A later dispatch from Caracas says. 1t Is
rumored that England, believing that the

willing to arbitrate with Venezuela, and
wishes to resume diplomatic relations for
that reason.
The Venezuelan government, while declin.

assures me that Venezuela cannot now re,

Experience has shown the difficulty of
convicting parties accused of arson.
Several attempts made in recent years
have proved abortive from one cause or
another. 1t may have been because of
defective laws or lack of convincing
evidence. Every effort should be made
to secure the most complete evidence
attending cases of suspected arson II
such cases should be vigorously prose-
cuted. If the city has no money with
which to work up cases of this kind
the county attorney might render valu-
able assistance in working up evidence.

people to take steps in the same direc-
ton and help to make incendiarism de.
