One day a mother found her four
year-old Alice playing with a brick IN
the parlor.
She threw it out of doors and, turning
TO the child, said, "If you bring another
brick into the parlor mother will whip
you"
Shortly afterward she again found
the child playing with a brick anu
looking at her reprovingly, asked,
"What did mother tell you about that
brick, AllceY
"Well, this isn't another brick" said
the child "This is the one l had be-

los. Between those useless and tactless
episodes ranges series Of ridiculous ed-
ventures, such as the precipitate flight OF
the foreign ministers. the seizure and the
destruction of the little Venezuelan gun
boats and the bombardment Of the fort at
La Guayras. It 10 hardly q matter for
wonder that the Venezuelan representative
should seek to reach the object OF search,
a peace agreement by the shortest route.
the allies having already complicated the
situation sufficiently by their indireotton and
unprecedented conduct It Is characteristic
Of the old-style European diplomacy when
cornered to call out in depreciation and
criticism Of the "shirt-sleeves'' method OF
transacting international affairs, and 1t may
with confidence be set down as safe rule
that when this cry Is raised the game is
going against the representatives Of the adj
vocates of indirection and delay and equivo-
cation. II brusqueness was necessary to
break the deadlock In this case and to bring
the negotiations to the point of practical
agreement and the raising Of the blockade,
then that is the method which all the world
should adopt. Yet again 1t may be seri-
ously doubted If Mr.. Bowen has been
brusque. He has probably been merely
straightforward in his manner and simple
and explicit in his speech.

Bowen's "Brusqueness,"

There seems to be some annoyance on the
part OF the representatives of England,
Germany and Italy in this city because Mr..
Bowen. serving for the time as Venezuela
agent in the conduct of the negotiations for
a peace settlement, has acted with brusque
dfrectness at times. One of the European
diplomats has complained that Mr.. Bowen
has appeared rather as an attorney than
as a negotiator. Probably both OF these
criticisms have some foundation. Mr..
Bowen is here armed with a full power Of
attorney for Venezuela, TO secure for her
the best possible terms in settlement of the
debts and the raising of the blockade. He
has been derelict in his duty II he has pur-
sued the tortuous course of oid-style diplo-
macy and permitted time to pass in the ex-
change of euphemisms and indirections
But II is hardly to be believed that with
his diplomatic experience, he has been actu-
ally rude In his behavior; but even so there
would be reason to excuse his conduct
He stands today for the victim of one of
the rudest pieces OF international agrees
sion which modern civilization has wit
messed for a long time. Nothing could well
be less regular and more uucouth than the
conduct OF the allies. particularly Germany.
toward Venezuela. The whole chapter Of
the Incident has been filed with extraor-
binary proceedings. from the delivery Of
the European ultimatums to the Venezuelan
foreign minister at his residence on a Sum-
day to the bombardInent Of Fort San Car

Skyscrapers and High Winds.

When the skyscraper began to lift its head
above the city sky line many grave fears
were expressed lest the extreme height OF
these structures might lead to danger from
the wind. Gloomy forecasts were made
that some day these buildings would come
rafting down despite the fiexibility Of the
steel-framed walls But the engineers have
gone on piling story upon story until now
the roofs three hundred feet above the
pave. and more. The fears OF the public
for the security OF the buildings themselves
have been in most part allayed, but a new
danger has meanwhile arisen and is causing
serious apprehension. The wind, finding
itself baffied by these seemingly frail and
slender piles, is venting its fury upon the
people in the streets below. and now New
York. on gusty day, is a place Of torment
One of the most conspicuous structures in
that city Is the "flatiron'' building, daring
conception and execution on a slim. pointed
lot south OF Madison square. Owing to it's
great height and its peculiar shape and
location, this building has become a wind
splitter with the most remarkable effects.
1t catches every breeze and sweeps the air
down into the street In cyclonic whirls
which play havoc. When the wind Is high
these surface disturbances are serious.
Many heavy plate glass windows have been
smashed in by the buffeting force Of the air,
and pedestrians have been disconnected
and even hurt by being thrown down in the
entangling. demoralizing blasts from all
sides. The climax was reached yesterday
when. with the wind blowing a gale over
head, the f1atiron caught an extra severe
gust and swept 1t down into the street with
such force that 1t lifted a messenger boy
completely of his feet and flung him direct
ly In front Of a passing automobile to his
death. One consequence Of these expert
ences Is that this important part Of the
city's promenade 10 gradually being shunned

Captain Hobson.

The probability Is that In resigning from
the navy Captain Hobson has made mis-
take. He Is a sailor by education, and his
reputation today rests upon that heroic act
at the mouth OF the harbor at Santiago.
The day before volunteers were asked for
that act he was one Of the many bright
young men serving his country on the sea.
The act itself demonstrated at most the
possession of supreme physical courage,
and was valuable to him as giving oppor-
tunity for rapid advancement in the line of
his profession. He foregoes this. and de-
cides to take his chances in another field.
He has yet to demonstrate talents either
for the lecture platform or for politics, and
from the day he puts off the uniform Of the
navy popular interest in him will begin to
wane. A most promising career indeed
seems to have closed

Delaware,

The Delaware situation Is puzzle, in
deed. We have been hearing for months
that II Mr.. Addicks would take himself out
of the way all would be well. The objec-
ton, we were told, was distinctly to him.
Among his supporters were some excellent
men, easily Of senatorial size. The party
would not be injured either at home or
abroad should the two senatorships be
filled from their number. But Mr.. Addicks
himself was quite impossible. A bad odor
had come to attach to his name all over
the country, and the reputation of the state
in the upper house Of Congress would
greatly suffer by his appearance there with
a commission in his hand. There was a
good deal Of outside sympathy with this
view Of matters.
Mr.. AddickS now offers to withdraw from
the race-indeed, does withdraw-and yet
new objections to united republican action
instantly appear. Suspicion attaches to
the offer. Fear is expressed that 1t Is
loaded 1t is charged that Mr.. Addicks
Is but trying new method to win; that he
hopes to reach the Senate by indirection.
A caucus would show twenty-one votes
under his control to ten under control Of
the opposition, and that would enable him
to name both senators. One Of these. 1t is
charged, would soon resign and be sue
ceeded by Mr.. Addicks by appointment.
A trick like that would be fatal to any
man. 1t would make the beneficiary an
object of contempt in the Senate. He would
have the countenance of neither side of the
chamber. and be without influence OF any
kind. Mr.. Addicks would be heavily
enough handicapped coming in any guise.
but coming in that guise he would not be
long in praying for the earth to open and
swallow him.
If the anu-Addicks republicans of Della
ware will not have him on any terms, and
refuse to deal with his friends in caucus
for fear Of being trapped, but one intelli-
gent course Is open to them. They should
unite with the democrats and hold an cleo
ton. The state should be represented in
the Senate. That of course would not
eliminate Mr.. Addicks from the general DO
itical equation, for he announces a purpose
to Keep up his activity. But 1t would clear
the air for the moment, enable everybody
to take look around and prepare for next
years national contest. The present condi-
ton of things is discDeditable and Injurious
to the state, and in its senatorial aspect Is
OF national concern.
