l,HE CInAHY KInNAPING-

The Cudahy kidnapping case is more
incredible in it's details than even
many OF the fantastic stories which find
their way into print. 1t possesses all
the mclodramatic qualities which distin-
guish the most extravagant of the fiction
OF that general character. The abduction
was accomplished skillfuliy and the black
mail made effective in such manner as
leaves little doubt that at least one of the
participants was a man of much shrewd-
ress and of considerable experience in
criminal operations of one kind or an
other
The course pursued by the father of the
abducted boy shows his good sense as
well as his devotion. To have taken any
other position would have been to seri-
ously endanger tie boys life. The threat
oc binding which was made was evil

would probably have been carried out
had The money not been forthcoming, Or
were anT visible effort made to secure
the arrest of The criminals
The offer Of an exten.tve reward for tn
arrest Of the perpetrators of the crime is
in line with the good sense shown
Throughout. The chance of discovery will
be greatly increased by the offer: the
boys safety has been secured, and there

police operations looking to the arrest and
conviction of these daring criminals The
fact that one Of them found himself I'M
able to control his love of liquor at a
most critical stage in the cffectuation of
the crime. combined with the information
which the young man was able to secure
through his drunken garrulity, appears in
Itself to offer a fairly good prospect of
capture and punishment.
The police force of Omaha has a
splendid opportunity to distinguish itself

happened to Nenea1esl
There is an end to kuman forbearance.
Uncle Sam has coddled and petted the So
called republics down in Spanish Amer
lea for the greater part of century He
was fond of them because they called
themselves republics, though in fact they
never got beyond government by revou-
ton, and their whole history is merely a
constant alienation from despotic die
tatorships to bloody anarchy.
But Uncle Sam loved them just the
same because like himself they bore
the name of republic and he looked after
them and tried to dress them up and
keep them straight so that they might
be d credit to the name of republic. But
his efforts have done mighty little good.
They have constantly disgraced the in
situations for which he stands in the eyes
of the world.
Yet, where would they be without him?
the benign shadow Of Uncle Sans coat
tails. their turbulent little cockpit and
bearpen governments would have come
to. an ingloricus end long ago.
And now they are raising a big howl
to form an alliance against the aggres-
sion Of the United States and to deprive
us entirely IF their comerce which is al
ready mainly in European hands. The
horse they are climbing on to is entirely
too high for them, and Uncle Sam had
better yank them down to where they
belong. It's all right to be magnani-
nous, but there is limit.
1t seems that in Venezuela they have
started a revolution for the express pur-
pose of driving out the Americans who
are in business there. The cable dis

are in immediate danger of life and
property. and they ask for cruiser to
protect them. If such really is the sit
