cAsTRo NEEDS SPANKING.

There are strong possibilities of trou-
BILE in the Franco Venezuelan situa-
ton. The sundering Of diplomatic re-
Iations between countries is very often
the signal for an outbreak Of active
hostilities Whether or not this will be
the case IN the present instance re-
mains TO be seen.
The trouble grows out Of the attempts
by President Castro to forfeit the fran
chises and interfere with the operation
Of the French Gable company. Castro
alleges that the company has failed to
comply with certain conditions and the
courts, being his creatures, have sus-
tanned his view of the matter. A dis
patch says the Venezuelan government
had taken possession of several of the
company's offices when France inter
Yened.
It is not possible at this distance to
say whether France of Venezuela has
the right Of it. If the French company
secured cable franchises on specified
conditions and failed to live UP to them.
if. as Castro claims, the company gave
active assistance TO the Gatos rebel
lion. then its franchises should be for
feited. Castro. however, has been
wrong so often that we are reluctant to
believe he is right now.
The little fellow has been strutting
around with chip on his shoulder for
several years. More than once he has
been saved from serious disaster by the
Intervention of the United States. Now
it is greatly to be hoped that Mr..
Roosevelt viii keep his hands off. Cas-
tro needs whipping as badly as a
spoiled child that cries for candy. He'll
be better off, and Venezuela will be bet
ter off, for a small trouncIng.
In the event of hostilities between the
republics there need be no fear of vio-
Iation of the Monroe doctrine. France
could be given to understand at the
outset that she would not be permitted
to acquire any Venezuelan territory
and that is about as far as the United
States would have any recognized au-
thority to go.
This country is TO some extent re-
sponsible for the present situation. Mr..
Roosevelt's attitude has encouraged
Castro and the other South American
republics TO believe that they can do
exactly as they please about their for
eign obligations. A wholesome lesson
to Castro, the dead beat. would furnish
a splendid example TO other nations

measures, they are necessary in some

ADJUSTMENTS TO-DAY.
TRYING TO GAG The PRESS.

The Washington Evening Star, one Of
the most rock ribbed Republican papers
In the United States, makes the direct
charge that President Roosevelt,
through Secretary Loeb, is endeavoring
Systematically to color news reports
smanating from the White House, and
that any newspaper man who causes to
be printed a story which displeases the
president is certain to come IN for ex-
ecutive disfavor, regardless of whether
his story is true or not
The Star says the day fol-
lowing the expulsion of Mrs. Minor
Morris from the executive mansion by
order of one of the presidents under
strappers, Secretary Loeb sent for a
Star reporter and informed him that
his papers account of the incident was
objectionable to the White House
from the president down. This not
withstanding the fact that the Stars
account consisted mainly of interviews
with eye-witnesses.
Several eastern papers have charged
that the official statement issued from
the White House concerning the Morris
incident lacked the essential element
of truth; but from the accusations
made by the Star in which it is backed
up by its rival paper. the Washington
Post, it would appear that the Roose-
Welt administration is determined that
any news report concerning the doings
Of the president and his retinue shall be
~ a raH hrvr F,o+ i
ton. Any sacrilegious reporter who
dares print an unvarnished tale with
out official approval is liable to be
summoned into the awful presence of
Loeb and informed that he has pro-
famed the sacred white elephant Of
American oficialdom
The Star declares that the Roosevelt
tian policy Of gagg.ng the press has
been more and more pronounced for
several months. Not long ago the pres
ldent issued an order forbidding cab
met officers, heads of departments and
other presidential satellites and lun-
inaries to give news to special Wash
lngton correspondents. The cerrespon-
dent of a western newspaper. published
this order and made some comments
thereon which displeased the president.
Instead OF delegating to the oficfous
Loeb the duty of disciplining his re-
nactory correspondent, Mr.. Roosevelt
himself sent for another correspondent
connected with the bureau of the Of
Tending paper, and scolded him like a
ashwife for the publication of the ar
ticle.
The Washington Star is regarded the
country over as being a reliable and
conservative paper; 1t is a straightfor-
ward and consistent organ of the pres
ident's own party; its allegations in the
present instance are most serious. and.
II true. they lay the president open to
the severest criticism. The spectacle
Of a president endeavoring to suppress
the publication OF the official acts of
himself and OF his underlings is not a
pleasing one. and it is certain to meet
the hearty condemnation of the Amer
lean people, who have not yet learned
to believe that the acts Of any official
are infallible.

THE BIG FAIR.

The final decision Of the Deseret Ag-
ricultural & Manufacturing society to
hold a great intermountain fair in Salt
Lake City in 1907 is the most important
action ever taken by that organization.
This section of the country has never
attempted a great fair. There have
been big expositions in San Francisco
and Portland. but they have been the
closest to Salt Lake of any fair cities.
Now we are to have a fair of our
own. President Mcdonald and the d.
rectors Of the local organization thor
oughly appreciate the difficulties of the
situation. They are prepared to neglect
their private interests and devote a
large share Of their time to the exposi-
ton. In their work they should have
The active cooperation of every citizen
and every business organization.
To hold a fair here worthy of the
name, one that would attract exhibits
from the intermountain and coast
states. it will be necessary TO raise a
large amount OF money. A handsome
appropriation VIII doubtless be. made
by the legislature, but the state should
not. be expected to bear the entire bur
den. The st. Louis exposition cost US
some $4,000, the Portland fair in the

MR. RIeELow's CHALLENGE.

The efforts of the administrator to
cover up the Panama mess might as
well be abandoned. The American
public will not permit that lid to re-
main on. Mr.. Roosevelt's statement
that the only critics of Panama condi-
tons are employees who have been dis
charged for incompetency and those
who have some personal interest in m s.
representing the situation is not found
ed on fact, The truth is that the pres
ident is so violent in his likes and dis
likes that he is not willing to concede
honesty OF purpose to those who dis
agree with him.
Poultney Bigelow, a traveller of wide
experience and keen observation, man
friendly to the administration, was
sent by the New York Independent.
also friendly to Mr.. Roosevelt, to Pan
anna to inquire into conditions existing
there and to write an unbiased story
about them. He found the conditions
to be very bad, indeed, and he did not
hesitate to say so.
Colon today is mainly a swamp, -
said Mr. Bigelow, Unto which is
dumped all the human excrement of the
negro population, and where this pop
ulation is compelled to sleep. There is
no water at Colon save this swamp
water and what can be collected by the
drippings from the roofs of the shan
ties. The sanitary inspection of Colon
is a shame. The negroes are leaving
in large numbers by reason of legiti-
mate grievances. which is a matter of
common. knowledge"
Mr.. Bigelow is not discharged en-
ploye. he has no political ak to grind.
There is absolutely no reason why he
should not report the situation exactly
as he found it. We believe he has so
reported it and it is our opinion that f
he has erred at all it is on the side Of
the government; that conditions are. if
anything. worse than he has painted
them. Mr.. Bigelow evidently has album
dant faith in the justice of his cause
for he offers a sweeping challenge to
Secretary Taft. Says he:
Il am willing to abide by the brief
yes or no of any one of respectable
standing among average men of clean
business records. It will cost no more
to send such a man TO Panama than to
print pamphlets denouncing those who
criticize the canal commission"
VIII Secretary Taft have courage
enough to accept this challenge?

GEORGIA FAIR
GATES OPENED
And City Of Atlanta ThrOnged with
Visitors from Far and Near.
ELABORATE ATTRACTIONS
First Day Dedicated to me-COmerss
and Many Wanderers from Shores
Of Empire State Welcomed.

OF empire SLate Welcomes
The gates of the Georgia state fair
swung open at Atlanta wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock and the first
day Of the home coming Of Georgia
born was on to continue until Octo-
Der 20.
Gaily bedecked buildings crowded
with countless exhibits and scores
of attractions dotted the grounds be-
meath clear skies. l
The opening day was one of the
most suspicious in years, and visit
ors from every section Of the United
States gathered in happy unison to
witness the Inauguration of season
that promises to be the most success
full in the history of the state.
Although the first day had been of
ficially designated as the beginning
of the home coming reunions, visitors
from Georgia as we'll as the other
states passed through the turnstiles
that were kept busy checking up the
little pieces of pasteboard.
From the first hour that the gates
were thrown open until late in the
afternoon the happy crowds passed
through, distributing themselves to all
portions of the grounds, finding their
chief points of interest In the big ag-
ricultural displays in the government
building and the shows that oonsti-
tute tho midway.
Among the first OF the home-comers
tc arrive was G. B. Thompson Of Pan
ANA City, Fla, who promptly reg
istered and was given badge No. /.
He had not been in Atlanta since the
day that Sherman occupied the city,
and met many others Of the same
faith and order.
During the afternoon the crowds
increased and records we're broken for
the first day by 2:30 o'clock.
Every department OF the fair was
in readiness when the turnstile be-
gan to click The agricultural exhib-
its that were the pride of last seasons
fair we're ecupsed by the displays
that had been prepared. The machin-
cry exhibits were also in place and
the steady wheeling of traction en-
gines, wind mills and farming steam
devices mingled with the cries OF
the midway spielers.
AS promised the county exhibits
proved to be a great feature OF the
exposition and it was acknowledged
on every side that the display this
year is far and away the best that
has ever been collected together in
Georgia. These county exhibits are
undcr the general direction of J. T.
Williams of Haddock, Jones county,
and this well known Georgian was
congratulated on every side fer the
fine showing made.
These exhibits are of the kind that
must make every Georgian honestly
and truly proud Of the Empire State
CT the South. From the mountains and
red old hills" of Rabun county to
the shores of Camden county the re-
sources, industries and manufactures
Of the state are displayed in a way
that makes each trip to the park a
real and practical education IN the
present prosperity which is the hap
NY share Of the commonwealth. Not
only are .here thousands Of varieties
Of fruit, grains, vegetables, ETC., but
some Of these articles are Of the GER
tain prize winning size and admirably
and artistically arranged.
