"When is trust not trust?7 is a conundrum

to any combination of corporations seeking to control

Senator Hanna undertook to prove the non-exist-
ence OF trusts last year. and this was his arguments
Trusts are illegal and liable to prosecutions there have
been few prosecutions under the antitrust law and
no convictons therefore, there are no trusts Such

GERMANY AND VENEZUELA.

HERE HAS BEEN great deal of speculation as
to what would be the result if Germany should
send a warshp to enforce the payment of its
claim against Venezuela. Many people seem to have
the idea that if the kaiser takes such step he will be
sharply reminded of the Monroe doctrine indeed that
hostilities between the United States and Germany
might result Such outcome is entirely improb-
able.
The Monroe doctrine doesn't bind the United States
to aid debt-dodging South American nations in evad
ing their claims 1t is agreed by the best authorities
that the German claim, amounting to some millions of
dollars, Is just one, and should be paid Venezuela
Is today in most unsettled condition. for South
American government and that Is saying great deal
The country Is ruled at present by Castro dictator
whose sole object in life is alleged to be the fattenng
of his at the expense of the people whose
affairs he Is supposed to administer Within the last
few years five revolutions have broken out in Venezuela
and one is in progress. The commonwealth is in
state of chaos, and Germany is very properly
esed its remote chances secure the amount to
which it Is justly entitled.
The United States cannot properly protest if
warship sent and Venezuelan port taken charge of
by the kaiser until customs sufficient reimburse him
collected What the Monroe doctrine covers, and
practically all 1t Is the acquisition of territory
In South America by European powers. Should Ger
many attempt to take slice of Venezuela and hold it.
then the state department at Washington would be
within its rights if it interfered.
Neither viii Germany be permitted to assume
charge ard control of the Venezuelan government
That matter Is also covered by the Monroe doctrine
But to sag that lodging South American debtor that
European power of money, must be pro-
eced in its dishonesty because it is South American
repGbGc Is manifestly absurd We have already had
che which is almost exact parallel to the pres
ent matter.
Not many years ago the British government de-
manded from Costa Rica settlement of claim for
damages by English citizen. The equity of the claim
recognized, but pretext and another Costa

handed There interference then on the part of

t('TN HOU HAST BEEN FAITHFUL IN few things,

be the epitaph for w. NJ. Moody an obscure
sheep herder who frozen to death the Wyoming
desert few weeks ago. Far from the haunts of men,
with hands to applaud, ne eyes TO moisten his
fate, Moody met death like man and hero. He
faithful to the end
This sheep herder was last seen alive when he
called at the camp of neighbor and asked if anything
had been of sheep of his that had strayed
fierce storm raging and the cold bitter. The
neighbor hadn't the sheep, but he begged Moody
to remain under shelter for the night least There
was warmth and good cheer, company and soft bed.
The temptation must have been great the
shepherd but he wthstood it. Turning his face the
tempest and pulling his about him to gam what
protection he might from the cold he pOdded away into
the darkness with his faithful dogs Miles and miles he
walked through the binding blizzard for the sheep
that lost. Needless Of his own physical dscom
fort regardless of his fellowherders warning that he
might be going to his death, Moody went on and
What weary, weary way that must have been
How often must the lonely man have thought, perhaps
regretfully Of the warmth and shelter he had left be-
hind! He must find his sheep and see that they were
comfortable; that his thought through the black
hours he stumbled over the desert And at last he
grew weary The numbng ache in his legs became too
excrucatng for even his stout heart to stand 1t

They found him there, weeks afterward half buried
IN the snow and gazing with unseeng eyes upon the
eaden heavens There too, were his dogs steady and

hunger they WERE they never thought to do anything
but guard over him.
The man truer in his way than were the
dogs His heart of steel human theirs beat within
brute bodies that's all the difference All we're heroes
all deserve the badge of bravery Humble was the sta
ton of the sheep herder Moody, but his reward should
lie great.

CANAL MAY COST A BILLION.

n HE NICARAGUA CANAL is hkelyste prove an
expensive necessity TO the commerce Of the world
but the detail Of cost should not be permitted to
delay the work of construction. Experts are esti
mating that, instead of the outside figure of $169000
600 estimated by the commission the canal will
qare outlay of round billion % good hard
doses. The immensely of the last named sum is
almost beyond human comprehension, and it is prob
ably exaggeration.
Even if it should cost billion dollars, though, the
term of years necessary dig the canal viii make the
payments comparatively small and easy to meet Ger
tainly no country in the world, aside from own
could undertake a transaction of such magnitude
England IS having trouble making ends meet with Its
little South Africa to look after Germany with
al It's resources could not procure cash sufficient to
give the canal respectable start.
There is not likely to be any quibbling in the
American congress the expense of constructing the
waterway So large percentage of the people favor it
that its early beginning Is longer matter of doubt
The report of the commission should settle the route
question but if It doesn't there experts who say the
Panama line would cost much the other, the
expense cues ion is left out of consideration.
Another thing against the isthmus pointed out
By Senator Morgan is the doubt about securing per-
feet title The senator contends that after the French
government has arranged the title, former owners Of
Panama stock who have been jugged out of their hold
ings could institute actions in the civil courts. He
believes that million OF claims would be fled
against the United States by such holders.
A fight may yet be made for the Panama route, but
it should not avail All the best of the argument is
with the other side and discussions of the matter in
congress are only calculated to delay the work of
structiOu
