Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. Informa-
ton has been received here that diplo-
matte notes have been received at Wash
ington from France and Germany re-
questing in diplomatic language, early
and drastic action by the United states
in Venezuela. The French cable incl
dent aud the efnbarrassments inflicted
on Germany railway interests have
brought about relations and conditions
far from agreeable to President Roose-
Welt.
The Penfeld mission, it Is said. an,
ticipates striking message to Con.
gress from the President, who IS said
to be alive to the perils and gravity Of
the situation.
The diplomatic notes in hand, inter
ested persons here are told, have been
supplemented BY private advices even
more startling than any Of the publica-
tons thus far given out concerning the
performances OF President Castro.
The general feeling here in circles
having interests in Venezuela is that
a crisis is approaching with reference
to French, German and American inter
ests.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IS NOT
DANGEROUS SAYS WHITE

portant matters, Is best decided by
taking broad view of the situation.
Public utilities are different from
other utilities in that they require a
public act as their foundation. The
very name they have acquired is EVIL
dence of a distinctive characteristic.
If man would enter upon farming.
mining or manufacturing he may do
so upon equal terms with all others,
but if he would supply transporta-
ton facilities, or transmit intelli-
gence by telephone or telegraph, or
would distribute gas or water--or oil,
for that matter-through pipes he
must first secure a legal grant. This
grant involves continuous way on,
over or through land. The grant be-
ing secured. the grantee possesses q
power (under the law not possessed
by each other citizen, and so becomes
a privileged party. Equality under
the law is interrupted.
1T is often said that the law may
impose restrictions equal to the bene-
fits of a grant of this kind, and thus
maintain equality. AS a mere matter
of bookkeeping this is true, but HUI
man nature is a fact that most be
considered. and where power is once
granted, common experience, as we'll
as history, shows 1t will be used to
the advantage of the grantee"

John Y. White, lecturer on economic
subjects, who is in Spokane this week.
addressed the Municipal league last
night in the municipal courtroom of
the city hall. The room was well
filled. The attendance was the largest
of any since Mr. White has been in
Spokane.
Mr.. White favors municipal own
ership Of public utilities and last
night clearly defended his theories.
THE question of public ownership
is interesting an increasing number
of our citizens" said Mr.. White.
THAT it is becoming. or has become,
popular, is evidenced by the increas-
ing amount of space it occupies in
papers, magazines and books. Like
all questions, it presents many
phases. This is especially true if 1t
be considered from standpoint Of
expediency.
"a danger Is supposed to arise
from the greater number of public
employees that would follow public
ownership of public utilities. 1t is
held that injection of so large a
power into our political affairs would
lead to much great corruption OF
public officials.
This notion entirely overlooks the
fact that these great concerns are al
ready in politics-are in fact the
chief factors of our party govern
ments. Can It reasonably be main
tanned that these enormous forces
public in their nature) are less dan
gerous when in irresponsible private
control than they would be if brought
openly and directly under govern
mental supervision- That they con-
tain elements of social danger can
not be disputed; the question, how
ever, Is not how to eliminate all dan
ger, but what course involves least
danger-to the people.
This question, like all other i'm
