OF the United States Solicited by the
British Governments for the Release of
Surveyor Harrison Under Arrest In

VI the United states Solicited by the
British Governments for the Release of
Surveyor Harrison Under Arrest In
Venezuela.
WAsHINGToS, June 25-As soon as
Secretary Olney returns to the state
department, and he is confidently ex-
pected Thursday, he will receive from
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, request from the British
government to use his good of
hces with Venezuela to secure
the release from Imprisonment
of Crown Surveyor Harrison,
who is reported to have been arrested
by Venezuelan police while he was en-
gagged in constructing a road connect
ing the Barima and Cuyuni rivers in
the disputed territory. This action of
Great Britain is considered in Dip
lomatic circles a radical departure from
the ultimatum methods hitherto
practiced on American republics, and
much significance is attached TO this
fact as probably indicating the consid-
cradle progress made toward an arbi-
tration agreement and the practical
acknowledgment of the United States
is party in interest in the Venezuelan
disputes as well as in future contro-
versies regarding territory on the
American continent
While it is universally admitted that
the new incident is exceedingly unfor-
tunate just at this juncture. there is
great diversity of opinion in fixing the
blame. Even the British government
has the most indefinite knowledge of
the exact locality where the arrest took
place, although it is claimed that the
surveying party had no authority to go
outside of territory occupied exclusive
ly by Englishmen for the past ten
years. No official knowledge of the
arrest has yet been received at the
Venezuelan legation, where confidence
is expressed that Venezuela will have
sent a notice of the affair, per-
haps for the information of the
United States government, the mo-
ment the facts became known
at Caracas. The Venezuelans, how
ever, find considerable satisfaction in
the information that Great Britain will
appeal to Secretary Olney in the mat
ter, as indicating that it is not consid-
cred of so serious a nature as at first
apprehended They place the whole
blame for whatever has occurred on
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain's colonial pol

MUST WOMEN WORK?
Is Labor Necessary to Her Proper
Development? :?

(From the San Francisco Bulletin)
An old-fashioned man who has lis
tened to considerable talk about the
development of woman through hard
work invites one of these advocates of
the doctrine of equality of the sexes
to take the negative in each one or all
OF the five following propositions:
l. That neither in the design of ma
ture nor in governmental expediency
can be found a justification for wage
earning toll of women.
2. That wage-earning toll by women
is an evidence, not of national pro-
gress, but of national retrogression.
3. That that nation will be the best
and happiest in which the least wage
earning toll is done by women.
4. That the presence of women in the
ranks of toilers is a reproach 20 our
civilization and menace to posterity.
5. That the increasing number CT
children in the army of toilers IS Of the
same sort of progress that the 'ad-
vanced woman" glories in.
The affirmative will probably be
asked why man has not provided for
the natural support of women who
have no natural supporters. i will be
admitted that the spectacle of a fam
lily of girls posing in idleness while the
head of the family is working for such
wages as the average wOrkingman can
command would not be edifying. We
cannot know much about the design of
nature except as nature speaks through
the conditions of life which it permits
to be established. 1t is manfestly un-
just to deny woman the right to work
without making some provision by
which she may live without working.
Justice is a higher law than eXpedi-
ency. So long as a percentage of women
are compelled to earn their own living
just man cannot deny her the right to
earn it the best way she can. She should
rot be barred out from the occupations
in which work is best rewarded. There
is no necessary connection between the
right of a woman to an education
which admits her into the highest pur-
suits and her right to vote. The one
comes to her as a simple act OF justice
which should not be withheld, while
the other is a matter of eXpedlency.
The condition of a woman who has her
own living to earn is improved by open
ine to her the occupations in which men
find the highest results. But 1t does
not follow that the condition of women
would be improved by devolving upon
them the full responsibilities of citi-
zenship. If there were any disposition
on the part of men to Cypress women
with unjust laws her demand for the
ballot would be understood. But men
have voluntarily Disseminated in their
laws in favor OF women. If there was
any assurance that women would bring
to the conduct of public affairs higher
intelligence or greater honesty OF pur-
pose than men possess the best of men
would welcome her participation in
the full work of citizenship. The ques-
ton. after all, resolves itself to this:
Would the suffrage make the masses
of women happier than they are now?
It is the masses, either of men or
women. who are to be considered. The
favored few can take care of them
selves. 1t is the average young woman
who finds herself dependent upon her
own resources whom the State is most
concerned about
