FRANCE AND VENEZUELA.

The severing of diplomatic relations
between France and Venezuela may not
have any serious results, but it is mani
testify circumstance in which there is
possibility of trouble In which the
United States may become involved.
There can be no doubt that the French
government is fully justified in taking
the course 1t has. To have done other
wise would have been 10 compromise
its self-respect and placed itself In a
humiliating position before the world
France has shown a great deal of pa

has sought by every diplomatic expedi-
ent TO bring about satisfactory under
standing, but at every point has found
the Venezuelan government stubbornly
indispOsed to adopt a position essential
TO an amicable arrangement 1t was
thought that when France dispatched
naval vessels to a point in proximity to

obstinate and his conduct, since has been
regarded by the French government as
insulting. The efforts OF the American
minister to bring about an adjustment
of the differences were to large extent
futile and IT is said have caused him TO
be regarded with disfavor by Castro.
France is well within her interna-
tional rights I'm the action she has taken.
The severance OF diplomatic relations
does not necessarily mean that there
will be war between the two countries,
but 1t creates an acute situation that
may very easily lead 10 hostilities.
France, Of course, will still insist that
her rights must be respected. and il
Venezuela persists I'm disregarding those
rights 1t is not TO be doubted that meas

that event. what will be the attitude OF
the United States? There will be pre-
scented another opportunity to invoke

Venezuela would ask for protection un

dent Castro has no friendly feeling TO

hardly be likely TO call upon 1t for as

TO a report from Paris, perfect under

Possibly now that Castro is unmis-

he will recede from the provoking posi-

The Bonrd of County Commissioners
started out with good New Years reso-
buttons. Each of its members and par
ticularly the new members proclaimed
their intention to use the pruning knife
fearlessly In cutting out the dead
branches, trimming off the suckers and
looping off graft. The board has an op-
portunity to make good. The rankest
piece of graft inherited from its prede-
cessors is the price for feeding prisoners
in the county Jail. 1t is a matter of no.
toriety that this Is nearly three times
as high as the charge paid by the city
for feeding prisoners in the city jail
The city pays IL cents for two meals Il
day and the county 40 cents for two
meals a day. The Associated Charities
sell a much better meal than is fur
nished by either city or county for 10
cents. In other words, the Associated
Charities gives a better meal for 10
cents than the county gets for 221a
cents.
On business principles the county
should not pay more than 20 cents a day
for feeding prisoners. Every penny
above that sum is no better than a
downright steal. An allowance of %
cents per day, or 80 per cent more than
the city is paying, would leave profit
of from five to seven dollars q day or
81 1915 to S2,555 year besides the profit
from feeding state and federal prison
ers and other perquistes enjoyed by the
sheriff exclusive of his salary of $500
year.
1t is now up to every member of the
| board to stand up and be counted. There
is no excuse for compromises and con-
cessions by which the money is fllched
out of the pockets of taxpayers and put
I'm the pocket of high-salaried official.
| The issue presented has but one side to
1t and cannot be lodged. There is no
reason why the county should pay three
prices for feeding prisoners. Further
procrastination under various specious
pleas will not deceive the people. The
Bruning resolution to pay 80 cents In
stead of 40 cents day was merely O
feeler. The reduction should have been
| from As to % cents per day. This would
have been q very liberal allowance fol

fact that the boarders are housed by the

BETTER SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

1t is gratifying to know that our trade
with South America is making some
progress, though 1t is still by no means
what it should be- According to the
statistics for last year, In part est
mated, the exports to the southern coun-
tries amounted to $65,000,OO0, which is
nearly double what it was ten years
ago and n gain of nearly $12,000,000
over 1904. 1t appears that more than
two-thirds of the increase in the last
decade has been with Argentina, that
progressive and prosperous republic
which is destined to become one of our
strongest competitors in some respects
in the markets of the world. Our ex-
ports to Chile have also materially in
creased, as have those to Peru. On the
other hand there has been a loss of
trade with Brazil, Venezuela and some
of the other southern countries.
The balance, however, still runs heav-
lily against the United States and prob
ably will continue to do so for many
years to come, or at any rate until much
greater effort and enterprise than have
yet been exerted are put forward to Sc
cure this southern trade. Several things
are necessary. such as studying the mar
kets by our manufacturers, being prop
erly represented by competent and act
i've commercial agents and the extern
sion of long credits, but perhaps more
important than any of these is the sup
plying Of adequate transportat ton faciii-
ties. While Great Britain, Germany
and France have lines of steamships en-
gagged i'm the South American trade and
the flags of those countries are seen in
every port. the flag of the United States
is rarely seen in any southern port.
That this operates 10 our disadvantage
is not to be doubted and this well-es-
tablished fact is one of the most potent
arguments I'm fnvOr of legislation for the
building up of our ocean-carrying mer-
chant marine. There Is every reason to
believe that with adequate transporta-
ton facilities our South American COM
merce would more than double within

silence a Confession of Guilt.


1t is not exactly a confession of guilt
which Standard Oil officials make in resort
ing to petty and contemplate methods to
defeat a Missouri inquiry into the opera
tons of the monopoly in that state. but it
is a revealment of temper which angrily
resents as an impertinence any assertion
of the public authority in relation to the
doing of this concern. This has long been
the attitude of the Standard Oil ring, and
there is a bare possibility that It may be
persisted in too long for the happiest con-
sequences to the Rockefellers and Rogerses.
Meantime no doubt the Yale sense of sat
isfaction over the recent alliance of its
endowment with thhe Standard OIL millions
steadily appreciates.

The charge is openly made that the
State Board Of Purchase Of Supplies has
Willingly or unwittingly played into the
hands of a firm of coal dealers whose
record for square dealing is not the very
best. 1t is alleged that in order to favor
that particular firm, which for years has
had the practical monopoly for furnish
ing coal for the state institutions. requi-
sitions have been made for particular
brands of coal for the sale of which the
favored firm has the sole agency. The
natural inference is that the members
of the board, to put it mildly, have been
hypnotized into countenancing methods
that have so often caused great scandal
in this state. 1t seems to us the charge
is too serious to be ignored.

General Solicitor Henderson feels
sure the people in the counties affected
by the railroad tax fight will suffer no
loss by the delay incident to the litiga-
ton over the tax issue, because the rail-
roads will have to pay 10 per cent in
terest on the amount withheld, while
county warrants only draw per cent.
This is a presumption that the people
will be satisfied with the course pur-
sued by the railroads If they finally pay
their taxes with 10 per cent interest.
We apprehend, however, that this is not
the ground of popular resentment over
the tax fight. 1t is not a question Of
interest on delinquent taxes, but of re-
sistance to the payment of taxes on the
part of railroads, while other property
owners are obliged to put up or have
their property sold for taxes.

ported as Of the opinion that the present
act will stand for at least another two
years. He said the law I'm itself is all
right and the only failures charged
against It have been In cases where ii
was not properly applied. He observed
that the only senators and representa-
tives who are advocating the repeal of
the law are those coming from states
whose merchants are not engaged to any
extent In Interstate commerce. Another
member Of the Association of Credit
Men denied the statement of opponents
Of the law that there exists throughout
the country feeling of restlessness as
to the merits of the law and a desire
that II be either materially amended or
repealed. Some amendments of the act,
he said, are needed, but there is no wide
spread demand for its repeal. On the
contrary, public expression, as far as the
association had been able to gauge 1t,
and the means employed have been thor
ough, has been almost unanimously in
favor of the retention of the law.
So far as we are aware no commercial
body of Importance has asked that the
law be repealed and inasmuch as all
such organizations urged the enactment
of the law It is reasonable to assume
that they are favorable to It's retention.
OF course there are some changes needed
which would improve the law and these
will doubtless be made, but on the whole
it has worked well and its repeal would
be very great mistake.
