To place such a man at the head of the
department in which, of all others, there
is the greatest opportunity for abuse Of
the civil-service law. cannot but seem at
first thought TO be most remarkable. Mr..
Roosevelt has always been regarded as
first and foremost OF all a civil-service re-
former. Is he not going TO make trouble
for himself by inviting into his Cabinet a
man that, so far as the public knows, has
never given evidence OF possessing any
feeling but contempt for civiI-service re-

THE GERMAN-VENEZUELAN CON-
TROVERSY.

The situation between Germany and Ven
ezuela is growing interesting and may re-
suit in some sort of a collision If the
Venezuelan government is foolish enough
to resist Germany's demands. These are
for damages based on injuries alleged to
have been done to German citizens in Ven
ezuela, and are presumably just and valid.
A dispatch from Berlin says Emperor Will
liam has become weary Of the delays in
the settlement Of the claims and has re-
solved to make a naval demonstration in
Venezuelan waters and, If necessary, to
land marines and take possession of a
Venezuelan port. A Washington dispatch,
which seems to speak advisedly, says this
course will be pursued by Germany with
the consent of the United States, previously
obtained. The State Department" says
the dispatch, has informed Baron Won
Holleben that this government has no OBJ
~jections to offer to any proper disciplining
European power so long as territory is
not taken. The German ambassador has
assured the State Department and also
President Roosevelt directly that Germany
has no territorial aspirations, and after
collecting the money long due from Ven
ezuela to German citizens will withdraw
from the country" There would seem,
therefore, 10 be a clear understanding be-
tween the United States and Germany that
the operations OF the latter contemplate
nothing more than enforcement Of the
payment of her claims ard perhaps an
apology from Venezuela. This she has a
right to insist on. and a temporary seizure
OF a port TO enforce the demand would not
be a violation OF the Monroe doctrine. An
interesting feature of the situation is the
defiant and almost bombastic announce
ment Of the Venezuelan official organ at
Caracas that Venezuela is conscious Of
her equality to other powers" and intimat-
ing that If Germany resorts to forcible
measures Venezuela may exercise terrible
reprisals." Instead OF acting on this bad
advice, she will probably conclude to settle.

The Chicago Tribune finds in the rapid
increase in the number of women in the
''gainful occupations" as shown by the
census since 1870. one of the causes for the
increasing number of divorces. The wom-
en- who can support themselves will not
submit to the neglect or abuse of hus-
bands, so they get divorces and become
breadwinners. This is another case of
placing the blame upon the woman.
