ROOSEVELT AND THE ALLIES.

TOR THE PRESIDENT to take into
l his own hands the question of
preferential treatment for the allies
against Venezuela, would have been a
thoroughly Rooseveltian act, but it was
hardly likely that he would assume any
responsibility in the matter. He really
could not afford to accept the PROPOSE
ton of Great Britain and Germany, for
there is a possibility, remote though
it is, that the United States may be
compelled to take a decidedly firm
stand on this Venezuelan matter.
The dispatches say that because of
the presidents refusal to take the
question up, it must be referred to The
Hague tribunal. No disposition of it
could be more fitting. The Hague court
is the proper place to adjudicate the
differences between the allies and
Venezuela.
1t is the port of safety from the in
ternational storm that has been brew
ing, and there is no good reason why
the ships of all the powers should not
head straightway for it. Germany, es-
pecially, has fallen to low place in
the worlds esteem. and England, on the
old dog Tray principle, occupies hard
ly less enviable. position. The only way
these nations could hope to retrieve
themselves was by promptly announc-
ing their decision to let The Hague
tribunal pass on the matters in dis
pute.
That is the logical course. the civil
lied course. the humane course. If the
court decides that the allies are enti-
tied to preferential treatment in the al
lotment of Venezuela's customs re-
ceipts. well and good. We may have
our own opinion as to the BUSINESS of
such a decision, but as no appeal from
it would be possible we would have to
swallow our Indignation with as much
grace as possible. On the other hand
if the decision should be against the
allies, they would be obliged to submit
And there. perhaps, lies the secret of
their unwillingness to go to The Hague
court except as a last resort. They
fear that the verdict will be against
them as, in all justice, it should be.

THE ARMY CHAPLAIN.

A N ACT ENTITLED "An Act to
II Recognize and Promote the Eff
ficiency of Army Chaplains'' is now
pending before congress. If it becomes
a law the president will be empowered
to promote army chaplains from the
rank of captain, the highest they can
now hold, TO the rank of major. 1t will
be impossible for the chief executive to
show favoritism, for the bill provides
that the chaplain TO be promoted must
have served at least ten years and
must be commended as worthy of spe-
cial distinction by his superior officers
Not more than fifteen may hold the
rank of major at the same time.
The law seems an eminently proper
one. Indeed, it will surprise most peo-
pie to learn that there is no chance
of promotion for the army chaplain
under the existing law. The chaplain
goes in as captain and he goes out
as captain, unless he dies in the
service. His lot is not an easy one in
times of peace, and it becomes doubly
hard when wars are being waged. An
eminent commander has said that a
good chaplain makes a good regiment
and that, while the reverse may not be
altogether true. it is true to a large
extent.
There are numerous instances on
record where chaplains have performed
the most distinguished services. They
have gone upon bloody fields while bull
lets sang about them and given com
fort to dying men. They have eased
the agony of the wounded, they have
become recipients Of last messages and
custodians of mementoes for the loved
ones at home under circumstances that
would test the mettIe of the bravest.
But there is no reward for the chap
| lain
The soldier who does heroic deeds
is promoted, not, perhaps, as often or
as rapidly as he deserves to be pro-
NOTED, but he has nevertheless that
nope to spur him on There isn't a
young soldier in the army or the Unit
| ed States today who doesn't know that
] in the course of human events it Is
possible for him to become commander
in-chief The Christian soldier, embod-
led in the chaplain, should have at the
least a small measure of this encour-
agement.
The hope of majority after years of
faithful and efficient service is not toe
much to hold out to him. We don't
pay our chaplains so much money that
they can hope to lay aside compe-
tency for old age. The pensions they
draw on retirement are not much
either. The interests of the army and
of the country will not be injured
rather they VIII be advanced, If a
spirit of great liberality toward the
chaplains is manifested.

gineer's side of the cab while he was
necessarily away from his own post OF
duty. This is undoubtedly true. 1t
would have been the sane and natural
thing for him to de. but men don't al
ways think Of the right thing at the
right time.
Davis has at least paid the penalty OF
his carelessness with his life. But what
OF the company that sent an engine out
in such condition that repairs were
necessary while the train was running
at high speed? Was it not somebody's
duty to see that Davis engine was in
first-class condition? The report has
gone out that Davis complained about
the state of the locomotive before he
took charge of it.
1t may be said that he might have re-
fused to take the engine out: and so he
might If he had refused. however. he
would have been discharged on the
spot. and there are few railroad en-
gineers who can afford to lose their po-
sitions without warning Davis was
practically forced 10 take out disabled
engine for a fast passenger rum. He
was forced to make temporary repairs
on that engine in rapid motion In the
attendant worry it is not so surprising
that he failed to notify his fireman OF
what was going on.
There has been a good deal of COM
ment about the case on both sides of
the question. One possible preventive
for the repetition of similar accidents
in the future was suggested by the
correspondent Of an eastern exchange.
He proposed law requiring railroads
to employ two engineers for each loco
motive so that, no matter what hap
pened. one or the other would be on
duty continuously.
1t seems to The Herald that this
would involve an expense to the COM
panies which is not necessary. One of
the duties of a fireman is to take
charge of the engine when his chief is
incapacitated, and if a rule of this
character is rigidly enforced it will
solve the problem.

a GOOD DAYS WORK.

THE HOUSE RAILROAD committee
L did good days work when 1t killed
the Wilson railroad commissioner and
maximum rate bill. The Herald is will
ing to credit the representative from
Wasatch county with pure motives. He
honestly thought, and doubtless still
thinks. that his measure would, II
passed. be of benefit to the state, but
he is clearly mistaken. The bill should
never have been introduced.
1t is to be hoped that nothing more
will be heard of the proposition. Titan
needs railroads. There is a vast amount
of territory in the state that is rich IN
possibilities that can never be properly
exploited unless railroads are built into
1t. Now, while it is true that capl-
talists do not invest money in railroads
purely for the sake Of helping the coun-
try through which the rails are laid, 1t
is also true that no railroad can pay
dividends unless the people in its terri
tory are prosperous.
Utah has suffered to a considerable
extent through unjust discrimination IN
freight and passenger rates. The way
to secure a reduction of these rates is
to encourage competition. We cannot
have competition without more rail-
roads and we cannot have more rail-
roads unless we hold out every proper
and reasonable inducement to moneyed
men to build them. Capital is pro-
verbally timid. Most rich men have
acquired their wealth through hard
work and they will not invest it where
they cannot see a fair return. Adverse
legislation, or the possibility Of it, is
capitals greatest boyle.
The Herald believes that if the VIII
son bill had been given favorable con-
sideration the result would have been
the immediate cessation of practically
all the railroad work now going on in
the state and the abandonment of plans
for future work Happily, that danger
has been averted. Sound judgment has
prevailed and if indications count for
anything we will have no legislation
calculated to interfere with the era Of
railroad progress that has been recently
inaugurated-
As to the constitutional provision re-
garding the establishment of a maxi
mum rate: That is a question that will
solve itself. The clause was placed in
the constitution for the protection of
the people, not for use as a club for
the railroads. Rates have been re-
duced in Utah almost steadily from
the time the trains first began running
and the advent of competing lines will
result in a further reduction. We GER
tainly do not need maximum law just
now
