Arbitration Always Right.

As to the Venezuelan affair, Ben
Franklin's saying may be appropri-
atelv altered to read. There never
was good war nor bad arbitra-
ton Either through our Minister
Bowen or by invoking the good offices
of other tribunal, the trouble should
be arbitrated.
The British war office repudiates
the sinking of one of NeneZuela's war
ships and puts the responsibility of it
wholly on Germany's shoulders. This
is practical acknowledgment that
the ''mailed-fist' business is being
overdone at La Guayra as it was at
Picking. Public opinion in Great
Britain. whose share of the total
claims" of 81 100000 is but 100000. is
evidently alive to the mixture of the
burlesque and the brutal in this unde-
clared war" 1t is a ridiculous as well
as dangerous demonstration for such
a little debt.
Castro's tardy proposition for a
settlement by arbitration offers a
way out which in London seems to be
favorably regarded. Germany has dis
claimed any intention of acquiring
Venezuelan territory.
Granted that the Castro govern
ment has behaved badly to its credi-
tors, the chastisement already adj
ministered is. enough for all useful
purposes. The bad boy having been
spanked to the point where he cries
out that he is ready to ''be good it
is pure cruelty to prolOng the appli-
cation of the corrective slipper.
All parties to the veXatious con-
troversy should submit their griev-
ances to impartial influences for adj
justment. and there is no better time
for the dove of peace to hover than
the present. This should be the sea-
son for animosities to be buried, dis
cord 10 cease and good will to pre-
vail among nations as well as men.

BY way of illustrating one of the
differences between Lords Roberts
md Kitchener they are telling this
story in London: Just before ''Bobs''
left Cape Town he assigned an officer
to particular duty and asked how
soon it could be done. The colonel
said in about fortnight. Lord Rob
erts said pleasantly: Il know you will
do the best you can" Later the colo
mel told Kitchener about the matter.
Now. colonel" said the new comman-
der, ''if you can't do it in week we
shall have to see about sending you
home" The job was done in the time
set by Kitchener.

Prof Robinson on the Trust Cues.
tiOn.

Prof. NJ. II. Robinson, professor of
industry and transportation in the
University of Illinois, has an article
in the November number of the Yale
Review on the trust question as dealt
with in the report of the industrial
commission. Prof. Robinson treats of
various phases of the trust question
in particular, the causes of consolida-
ton. the form of consolidated indus
tries, the monopoly power of 'combi-
nations. and the public control of con-
solicitations. The causes of consolida-
ton he describes as competition. the
desire to lower the cost of production
and distribution, and the desire to Sc
cure monopoly Of these, the first
and third he regards as permanently
active. the second as operative only
so long as the maximum of economy
in production and distribution is not
attained. Prof. Robinson criticises
the report of the commission for its
lack of completeness in dealing with
the monopoly power of combinations.

The status of the Venezuela bust
ness warrants the anticipation on the
part of the Chicago Chronicle that
Chauncey NJ. Depew will shortly be
heard from. 1t will be remembered
that, when the Maine was sunk, Mr..
Depew galloped home to New York
from Jekle island issuing appeals to
his turbulent countrymen to stop this
fool talk of war with Spain, because
it hurts stocks" A similar patriotic
deliverance may now be expected
from Chauncey at any hour Of the
day or night.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-12-20

THE chief defect of the report of the
commission" he says, lis that it often
deals with opinions when it might
have given us facts"
With regard to the public control
of combinations. Prof. Robinson calls
attention to the fact that the laws of
the different states regarding corpo-
rations do not meet conditions as
they exist at the present day. The re-
port of the commission emphasizes
this fact, he says. and if it SHOULD
have no better effect save that of call
ing attention to the absolute neces-
sity of revising the corporation laws
TO fit the changed economic condi-
tions. it should be justified in its eN-
istence."

\ most interesting Christmas eN-
pertinent is related by New York
paper, which shows that poverty is
not bar to the Christmas spirit of
giving even to the extent of sacrifice.
y s. bill was given to a poor boy and
another to a poor girl of the tene-
ments to see just what they would
buy fer themselves. The boy bought
nice doll and n toy piano for his
sister. while the little girl bought a
doll for her sister and some handker-
chiefs for her mother. 1t is not ex-
pected that a boy of ten or girl of
seven will be either philosophers or
saints. If these poor children had
spent every cent of the money given
them upon their own needs or dress
es. who would have blamed them?
But they did not. Though there must
have been hundreds of things they
wanted. each bought something for
the others. What an example of self
