THE MERCURY TAKES TUMBLE The
cold wave which struck this region last
Saturday night found many unprepared,
despite the long continued mild tempera-
ture which had prevailed. Many were
lamenting that their double windows and
storm doors were not in place, and water
pipes were frozen and caused trouble in
numerous households. Sunday morning
the temperature was reported at from one
town as low as ten. A strong northwest
wind blew and carried with it the light
snow which fell. 1t was very disagreeable
out of doors and hard to keep warm in
doors. Sunday night the wind blew gale
and Monday morning the mercury was
lowering about zero, the wind still blew,
and everybody was shivering 1t moderated

trouble on the telephone lines by breaking

Raby Is one OF the hnest casteisted mansions In

tains most Of Its ancient character. IL was built
by John de Neville At the end OF the fourteenth
century and was the home Of the Nevilles until

Seven hundred followers OF the house OF Neville
used 10 gather In the great hall al Rsby and In the

A noticeable feature at Raby Is the unique car

The situation In Venezuela.

There seems little doubt that Don
CIPRIANo CASTRO, President OF Vene-
zuela, is slowly but surely nearing the
close OF his tempeStuous life. Rumors
70 that effect have been current for more
than twelve months past. These may
have been born originally OF the hopes
entertained by his enemies. More recent
advices, however, appear to come fro m
honest and well informed sources. The
end, for CASTRO, seems very near
This is an unfortunate showing for
Venezuela il the situation be what We
have reason to believe it is. In q word,
II CAsTRo's extremity is such as TO for
bid the idea Of his achieving a much
desired assertion Of his authority at the
present time, that long distracted coun-
try may again plunge into the abyss of
tumult, anarchy and chaos. According
to the organic law Of the land, Vice
President GOMEZ will succeed to the
Presidency in the event of CASTRO 8
death. Next in the line of succession
comes the second Vice-President, vELU-
TIM, the most profound and brilliant
intellect in South America. He is Of
Corsican extraction, as astute as BoRGIA
or MAcHIAvELLI or TALLEYRAND. More
over, his record as a public officer JUS
titles the belief that he is as patriotic as
he is wise. 1t is said that GOMEZ, who
wishes peace and happiness for his coun-
try, is quite willing to efface himself
through the medium of resignation and
IL necessary, temporary expatriation,
should popular sentiment demand the
accession Of VELUTINI. As il happens,
however, GOMEZ enjoys not only the
legitimate right OF way and the sanction
OF law. but the confidence Of a large
majority Of the Venezuelan people. It
comes to us, even, and on very excellent
authority, that the really important
revolutionary leaders now operating in
thiA country and elsewhere outside of
veneglala would withdraw from the
Propaganda in case OF COMES g accession
and 50 secure 9 period Of tranquility and

traprdinary equipment, and IL is said of

From de Springfield Repubtcan.
The fact that any utterance Of the President
OF the United States In reported verbatim in
all the Important newspapers Of the land,
even when its iensth is formidable. has been
TOO little regarded by previous Executives
Mr.. Roosevelt surpasses all OF his distin-
guished predecessors In using this engine in
whatever political or personal controversy
he may be engaged. He uses Il far more
freely. far more often and with much keener
appreciation OF the fact that whoever his
opponsnt or critic may be. that person 10 not
likely to enjoy equal advantages in gaining
the public ear. Not TO multiply illustrations.
two cases OF immediate interest may be cited
as excellent examples OF MIR. Roosevelt e
methods. The Bellamy storer case Ia one
and the Foraker attack In connection with
the discharge Of the negro soldiers IL another
Mr.. Storer was at grave disadvantage In q
contest with the President because his PAM
phlet could reach the great majority Of the
people only In q very much compressed and
disintegrated form. Very few newspapers
indeed, gave an adequate or intelligent abb
stract OF II. and but one in the United States
reprinted IL In full. On the other hand, "a
soon as the nrst frasmentary extracts Of the
storer pamphlet were published. the Presi-
dent was ready with a reply. which had been
prepared a week before in anticipation Of a
battle for the judgment of the people. Every
word OF the Presidents statement was
promptly printed throughout the United
states, and Mr.. Storer was nowhere. II Mr.
Storer did not foresee the handicap he would
carry In such q conflict. he ls probably well
informed now. No mere citizen can ever un-
dertake to attack a President as Mr. SIorer
did without suffering heavily from the in
equality OF the conditions OF publicity.
The inequality is immensely increased by
the dictum which Mr.. Roosevelt has so
strongly insisted upon, that he is dual per-
sonality. While President. he is both Presi-
dent and MIR. Roosevelt. He claims and con
stantly exercises in the freest fashion the
rights of q private individual (Mr Roosevelt)
TO talk on any subject. even public policies
and secrets OF State, vet he allows no one 10
quote him OF TO hold him responsible for these
ufterances. Several citizens OF correct NOR
ais have been publicly branded as liars by him
after they had referred to him az an authority
on certain questions Of public moment. Poor
penl They had not appreciated the distinc-
tion between the President and Mr. Roose-
welt. He himself caught some notion OF
this difficulty when he wrote 20 Ambassador
Storer about that red hat, in 1903: AS it is
impossible to differentiate what i say in my
Individual capacity from what say as Presi-
dent-at least in the popular mind. and ap-
parently also In the Roman mind-I must re-
quest y Du not to quote me in any way or shape
hereafter" But as President, Mr.. Roosevelt
has continued to play this dual role The
Chandler episode In connection with the rate
bill showed il; and In his relations with the
press ct Washington at the present time one
can again demonstrate Il.
