The earnestness and thoughtfulness of Ed ward Box, the editor Of the Ladies' Home Journal was never more in evidence than in the triple column article by him in the current number Of the magazine.

THE PLAI,l TRUTH
Of Germany's "Grievance" Against
 Little Venezuela.

From the New York World.
 Why is Germany preparing to make war upon Venezuela?
 The Grand Railroad of Venezuela Is a single track, feet inches gauge rail- way running no miles through the noun tains from Caracas to Valencia It prob ably cost less than s6oO00 a mile to build. But it was built by two German banks ana some German iron merchants, includ ing the Krupps, and as the Venezuelan government guaranteed T per cent on its bonds, whatever their amount, no ex- pense was spared. The cost was made s145.OOO a mile.
 This fact of railway finance was and is great scandal in Venezuela. The combination of German bankers and mer- chants and corrupt Venezuelan officials were not satisfied with their first haul In reorganization scheme they made a second almost as large as the first The road, of course. does not pay ex- pepses and is managed by the Germans with what looks suspiciously like delib- crate corruption.
 General Castro and his government. re- sentful of the thievery of their predeces- 5ors and of the rapacity of the Germans, have practically repudiated Venezuela's s pledge to pay the interest on these bonds and on the '1oan," as the second squeeze" was called.
 On the one hand there is no question that Venezuela is bound by the guaran- tee. On the other hand there is no ques- ton that the debt is one which, if it were a private matter, could not be enforced In full in any civilized court of equity
 The German government is right in insisting that the property rights of Ger man citizens be respected. But 1t would present a less unattractive figure before civilization if it's demand were not taking the form of an attempt to enforce an ex- tortion, but were in the form of a de- mand that Venezuela arbitrate the whole matter. As it is, German greed conspired with Venezuelan venality to rob the state. They put the steal in legal form, and now Germany is using its power to aid the thieves without making the slight est attempt to discriminate between just dues and dues that would make Wall street ''wrecker" blush.

Local Internal Revenue Payments.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Very few, If any, persons have any idea
Of what the citizens of the District of Co.
lumbia contribute to the support of the
general government. According to the re-
port of the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. for 1901, the District of Columbia,
with population Of 27s.71s, paid internal
revenue to the amount of $79O,9S7, which is
$2s4 per capita.
At the same time, fifteen of the states
and five territories, with a population of
$500, 400, paid but $5,3O5 800, or but 60
cents per capita, which is less than one
fourth the amount per capita paid by the
citizens Of the District.
How many members senators are
aware of that fact, do you suppose? 1 ven
ture to say not one.
But that is not ALL Those fifteen states
and five territories have thirty senators,
thirty-six members and four delegates, or
a total of seventy in Congress to look after
their interests and voice their wishes,
while the District has not one!
What an illustration of a republican form
Of government Is this at the capital of the
foremost republic of the world! While sena-
tors and members makeaa great ado about
q government based on -the consent of the
governed for lot Of haif-civilized natives
on the opposite side of the globe, they seem
to be utterly oblivious Of the condition
among our own. citizens right here in the
