Vcnezuela's interests.

| Caracas. Ncnezula, Wednesday. Jan
1.-THE first public utterance Of Pres
idcnt Castro. since the beginning 81
last August Of his present illness, VA.
printed last Monday
In it the President declares he has
returned from deaths door solc:nnlv ia
proclaim that he neither is nor ever
will be dictator. He says the happi-
ness Of Venezuela depends upon adj
hcrcnce TO the constitution, which does
not permit either himself or General
Gomez, the first vice president, to re-
sign.
The communication has created n
deep impression in Caracas where il is
taken to mean that the President feels
assured OF his own recovery, in spite
OF the fact that in it he admits that hi,
weakness compels him to be brief Cas-
tro is the strongest man in Venezuela
and his word Will do much to render
rfmote the possibility Of q revolution.
The members OF the cabinet in a
signed letter published in F,l Constitu-
clonal, proclaimed their adherence to
PreSidence and the Venezuelan consti-
tuition.
General Antonio Velutini. the second
vice president Of Venezuela. whose re-
cent trip to the British island Of Trim
dad. laid him opcn to the suspicion of
plotting against Castro, has returned To
the capital.

words, the second-class ratee lis relative
ly too low.
wholly dissimilar services are per-
formed for the same rate.
Substantially similar services are
charged different rates.
1.-THE second-class rate is probably too
low. absolutely speaking"
Concerning the first defect, the COM
mission says:
1.-THE mere fact that the next higher
rate, that for printed matter. is 500 per
cent. greater: that the periodical rae
creates an almost irresistible temptation
to give all printed matter the periodical
form. Immense quantities of printed
matter are put up in the periodical form
not because thar form is either essen
tial or proper to it. but for the bald pur-
pose of accomplishing it's distribution at
the cent-a-pOund rate. 1t is pointed out
that this abnormal disproportion does
not exist outside of the United States
and Canada"
As a remedy for the disparity between
the receipts and cost in connection with
the transportation of mail the commits
sion suggests that the practice no longe!
continue Of charging on losing basis
the same rate for wholly dissimilar SER
vices; in other words. il says II classify
the rates according to the service. In
this connection il is suggested that the
Increment of postage for the increment
of weight above the first four ounces
should be orc-half cent for each addi-
tional four ounces.
The commission holds with regard to
fiction matter that the classification
which puts a complete novel in che class
and a novel published serially in anothe,
class is a false classification. With re-
gard to newspapers the commission
maintains that the prime defect in the
statute defining what constitutes a news
paper is that the purpose described is 81
broad as to include everything anu eX-
Clrlde nothing.

BEAUTY AND PATHOS IN LIFE.

In the life of Neomi Hadley, whose
funeral occurred this afternoon there
is a touching story of the life Of a
beautiful character most pathetically
blighted. Miss Hadley, twenty-six
years of age, was born and reared in
Richmond Many friends and acquain-
tances remember her as a girl of most
amiable character with lofty ideals
and purity of thought and purpose.
She was generous and charitable, I'M
selfishly devoted and an ardent lover
Of the beautiful. In her school work
she was most energetic and ambitious,
her purpose being to become a teach
err in an affectionate desire to aid her
mother to whom she was devotedly at
tached.
When about to graduate with high
honors from high school at the age OF
eighteen her nervous Gystem gave way
as the result of excessive ambition
From this sickness however she fully
recovered and went west entering
business college in Los Angeles, grad
uatng there with highest honors
After this she ably held a government
position with her father in the Pima
Indian Agency in Arizona, but wa:
again stricken with the nervous troub
lie from which she suffered to a de

Miss Hadley was baptized when

tiously and beautifully exemplified

EMPLOYMENT FRAUDS

THE course Of Deputy City Prose-
eutor Ford in directing the atten-
Il tion of the managers of the local
employment agencies to the state laws
and city ordinances enacted for the
governance of this class is timely and
well considered. The acts of some of
these agencies in the past have been
notoriously unfair and dishonest. Men
and women making applications for
positions of various kinds have been
compelled to register, paying a stipu-
lated fee therefor, and on these fees
some agencies have fattened. The worst
feature Of 1t is that in some cases, pos
sibly In the cases of the majority of
the applicants who have registered at
some agencies, there never has been
the slightest chance that the applicant
could secure, through the agency, the
position sought. This is fraud Of the
rankest sort, and In every instance Of
this class the go-between should be
compelled to return the registry fee.
1t is encouraging to know that, accord
ing to Mr.. Ford, at least one agency
has been conducted in an honest man
ner. The proprietor of this bureau has
In hundreds of cases refused registry
fees. and advised applicants to avoid
such efforts when there was no hope
for employment.
