east of the Mississippi, from Maine
to Minnesota. The climate is per-
petual summer. 1t is one of the
greatest grazing countries in the
world. 1t has the largest known de-
posits of asphalt, but bad govern
ment hampers the national progress
and the country cannot advance as it
should until a stable government
and liberal, intelligent treatment of
foreigners and foreign capital give it
the necessary transportation facili-
ties and the confidence of business
men. The agricultural population
has fallen into q rut. There is a
large over-production of coffee, the
sugar that is produced can find no
profitable market, and the great
herds of cattle go largely to waste
because of the lack of transportation.
There is coal and petroleum in the
country, but gold and asphalt are the
only products mined.

THE SMOKED "QUEEN."

Mrs. Dominis of Honolulu" is
the way the Washington newspa-
per reporters write it. The wo-
man herself signs: H. NJ. Queen
Lilioukalani." Mrs. DENNIS is
stopping at the Ebbltt house in
Washington and with her lobby
is waiting for congress to give her
100000 as compensation for
crown lands confscated by the
Hawaiian republic. She vii
doubtless wait a long time.
Queen Lii" is the victim of
her own perverseness. Whether
on the throne or off she has con-
spired until she alienated her best
friends. In trying to dlsfcanchise
all except the natives she alien
ated the taxpayers % per cent OF
whom favored her reign. She
kept the HawaiIans'in a constant
turmoil.
Even when this woman was de-
throned because her government
was intolerable she was treated
with great clemency. She was
given Il large income and the
crown lands were left intact.
But the queen persisted. She
smuggled firearms and organized
revolt. Her dynamite plot, by
which she sought to kill hun
dreds of innocent men, women
and children, was almost diaboli-
cal.
The woman does not ne ed
money. If congress should pay
this sum a large part of it would
90 to the lobbyists. She has for
feited all claims and should retire
from public gaze.
Besides, God is getting tired of
queens,

TURNS ON HIS CRITICS.

Hall Caine, the eminent novel
ist, who has been numerically
lambasted by the critics, has
turned on his traducers and
shows his teeth.
"Tnev are failures" he sold
when they cease to snarl I shall
know that l am going down like a
stone in a pool"
This whole critic business is
more or less of a farce. A few
men have taken upon themselves
the task of saying what is good in
art. music and literature. They
do not agree. One praises and
another damns, and the fact that
the public is pleased with a book
or play proves nothing to the
critics mind.
David Harum" touched the
hearts of millions. The book was
denounced as country twaddle
and untrue to nature by men who
know nothing of country life.
The best way to deal with
critics is to ignore them. The
average American has sufficient
education and ability to be his
own critic.
In this country the successful
man has ALWAYS been shining
mark. Somebody is always
ready to throw mud. If a man
achieves Il million, how easy it is
| to believe that his fortune is the
result of dishonest practices! If
! he reaches high station in poll
/ tics he makes enemies by the
mere act of succeeding. If he
rides IN a private car and can
afford it, he is Il snob, and if he
doesn't he is Il miser who boards
/ his money when he might spend
it and do some good by circula-
ting 1t.
1t is the way of the world. As
Il rule there isn't much of malice
/ in it. 1t is Il sort of constitutions
al envy. 1t is unpleasant for the
successful, unkind and mostly un.
called for. bat it is a human trait
as strong as habit.
Mr. Caine is probably not the
eighth wonder of the world, mol
/ the eighteenth. but he has worked
and prospered. He hasn't beer
lazy and he has pleased a great
many people. He can afford t.
laugh at the critics. Most OF
them are literary failures anC
/ hardly worth Il snarl.

HOT TIME IN VENEZUELA.

AS the Venezuelan situation UNI
folds to public gaze the affair takes
on a more complicated aspect. The
withdrawal; of ministers is a men
ace occasionally used to force an I'M
willing debtor to terms, but it is a
singular disclosure that the German
minister withdrew, leaving his sick
wife in the legation, and that the
British and German warships then
proceeded not only to seize, but TO
actually destroy three ships of the
Venezuelan navy. That was an act
Of war. at least it would be so con-
strued here if some foreign fleet
should enter Brooklyn navy yard
and proceed to break up several of
our war ships.
The situation is critical, and now
that Italy has joined forces with the
allies. and there is rulnor that Ar
gentina and Chile may rush to the
aid of Venezuela, makes it more so.

MAKING THE HIGHEST
LAW,

More is involved in the coal
strike arbitration than the mere
differences between the operators
and the miners in this particular
controversy.
Conflicting statements h Il We
been made respecting the mining
industry and the people are nat
urally curious to have precise in
formation.
Organized labor has been given
formal recognition by organized
capital, and the interests Of the
public as Il party in the dispute
has been conceded by both. Rec
ignition has been given to the
great fundamental truth that Il
strike that creates disorder and
deranges general business is Il
public question, not private one.
For the first time in the history
of labor troubles in this country
it has become conceded and ac-
cepted principle that the power of
self-protection and adminIsJra-
tion Of justice rests within the
whole people.
The commission is judge and
Jury. Its ti4dings as to questions
of fact and its award will be re-
ceived by the public with the res
pect and confidence which at
taches to the decision of Il judi
cal tribunal. 1t must of necessi-
ty create accepted custom, which
is the highest law.
The protest that was raised III
all parts of the country when the
operators and miners proposed to
withdraw the case from the COM
mission attests the fact that the
public is unwilling TO recede an
inch from the ground that has
been gained.
The popular demand is that the
same plan Of strike settlement
consented to in this case be en-
trenched in law and made COM
pulsorv in all labor disputes that .
extend TO disorder and to the de-
rangememt Of general business.
In this arrangement labor gains
much. Might can no longer lord
it over right, for imperial justice
will hold the scales and its DEGREES /
will be enforced by the supreme
power of the people Capital. .
too, will be secure against the
prolonged agitation Of unjust de-
mands.
Each side will learn to look
upon a dispute not with an eve
single TO Its own advantage, but
with a broad survey of the rights
of both, by which the dispute
must at last be measured.
So the American public has
been looking to this arbitration
commission to 60 beyond the
mere settlement of this strike.
not in indifference alone. but To
reach. if possible, some basic
principal for the adjustment Of
differences between labor and cap
ital which will appeal to the sense
of right and Justice of both these
elements and afford a reasonably /.
secure guarantee against great
strikes In the future,
