The Matter of Subsidy.

In the United States direct aid
from the government to the
farmer has rot been looked upon
with favor, being opposed In
general way to a democratic form
of government. There are some
exceptions to this rule, however,
shown in the bounties paid for
raising sugar beets and other
kindred state legislation. Indi-
rect assistance has been given
to the farmer almost from the be-
ginning. The builders of good
roads, grants to railways, the
work of the agricultural depart
ment and many other forms of
encouragement are part and par
eel of the American system of
government.
The reclamation of the arid
lands of the west comes nearer
being direct assistance in de-
velopment of the land itself than
anything so tar accomplished.
This, in turn, however, like
the Victorian legislation, can not
be regarded as benevolent to-
wards any parti -ular class of peo-
pie, for it is a straight business
proposition of unquestionable
value not only to- the Immediate
community but to the nation as a
whole. Likewise, there is no
possibility of loss even in the or
iginal Investment butIather the
promise OF a tangible profit in the
conduct of the work.
Loans to farmers would, un-
doubtedly, be opposed in the
United States on the ground that
it was class legislation designed
to benefit those engaged in a
single industry, but in the case
| of Victoria, her only possibility
of growth, increased population
and prosperity lies in securing
the reclamation of at least part of
| the vast area which is still a will
derness. 1t certainly suggests
itself as a most wise form of sub
sidy.
Bonuses to manufacturers,
shipowners, etc., are assistance
given to people who in turn are
actually dependent upon those

STABILITY.

Stability in all things is right,
and matters we look upon as
right, is an example of charac-
ter of the highest type. If you
have stability you have charac-
ter. eff you're right then go
ahead" Fix the matter OF right
firmly in your mind and hammer
away. Be consistant in your
stability. For a government to
be stable it must be composed of
a stable people. This character
denotes a high standard in a peo,
pie or nation.
II we make our government
ana It's policies stable we are
certain to command the respect
of other nations. But in the
past some Of our policies have
been studded with instability,
notably the matter Of tariff
schedule. 1t certainly seems
time that this country formulat-
ed some plan which would render
our rates of tariff more stable,
cease the endless and provoking
tinllering that has been our past
history. On this subject the
Saginaw Courier says:
President Roosevelt's message
statement that there is more
need Of stability than Of the at

tempt to attain an ideal perfec-
tion,in the methods Of raising
revenues, . is an utterance based
upon practical experience. The
Presidents further declaration in
Immediate conf ection with his
argument in opposition to unnec-
essary tariff tinkering that the
shock and strain to the business
world certain to attend any ser
ious change in these matters
renders such change inadvisable
except for grave reasons,
should be accepted as conclusive
in that direction. There are as
many eloquent reasons in opposi-
ton to any change in tariff
schedules just at this time as
there are working men in the
United States. resident Roose-
velt's plea for stability in tariff
matters will find favor not only
with the great body of his own
party who are protectionists in
theory and through principle,
but will be approved by every
practical man who has in mind
the best good of the people of
our entire country"

MAY GET THRASHED.

President Cipriano Castro, OF
Venezuela, from now on has to
exercise care if he does not pre-
cipitate war. From what is
gathered in the way of data few
people will be found who would
not agree that erratic president
is deserving of at least person
al experience at the whipping
post. But the unfortunate part
of the matter is that he should
possess the power to drag thous-
ands of his countrymen into a
war that would cost great sac
rifce of life and devastate the
country.
The causes that may eliminate
in a war between Venezuela and
France are many and are not all
of recent date. For years the
actions of the Venezuelan gov
ernment have been such as to
create the suspicion that they
were not backed up by good
faith so far as other nations,
their representatives and sub
jects were concerned.
During the past year the
friction between France and
Venezuela has waxed hotter and
hotter and several times during
this period France has muttered
the probability of a declaration
of war against Venezuela. On
account of the Monroe docrine as
upheld by the United States our
government has been more or
less worried regarding the out
rageous actions of Castro and on
several occasions has administers
ed soothing syrup to that
bumptious president. But things
are now in about the last stages
and the booming of the first gun
may occur at any time.
Recently M. Taigny, French
charge at LaGuayra, had occasion
to visit one of his own country's S
warships which CHANGED to be
lying in that harbor. At the end
of that visit he was not permitted
to place his foot on terra firma.
He was practically expelled from
the boundaries of Venezuela.
This was an insult to France as
she was at that very time accord
ing Venezuela's representative
in Paris the greatest courtesy.
French affairs have been placed
in the hands of Mr.. Russell, re-
preventative of the United States.
From recent actions of Castro
the inference is made that Mr..
Russell may be insulted and like
wise the country he represents
In such event it is quite probable
that ''Uncle Sam will tell the
garcon to unleash the "dog q
war;" Or it may be that this
government will man her guns.
The outlook is not pleasant.
