The railroads have many sims to an
swef for. but 1t is certainly not fair
to charge up d. winter coal famine to
them in advance of s1cn7 a calamity.
The railroads under the law cannot be
coal dealers, and, therefore, it is not
their duty to carry coal unless 1t is
shipped by some firm or Individual.
Secretary Wilson, who has been trav-
cling In the Western States, reports
upon his return to Washington that the
people there are uneasy and apprehen-
slve of coal famine next winter. Az
he reports the people Of the West very
prosperous and plenty of money in cir
culatlon there, why do not these appre-
hensive people order their coal now, in
stead Of waiting until winter comes7
Provident people buy their coal in sum-
mer when 1t is cheaper, and II those
who have the means to lay in stock
have done SO and the dealers have their
usual winter supply on hand for the
poorer purchasers to buy from hand to
mouth from, there should be no coal
famine. 1t Is to be presumed that coal
ordered now would be delivered In the
ordinary course OF freight delivery; II
not, and there is unusual delay, there
will be good cause Of complaint and
the railroads will be held responsible.
When snow blockades come, 1t Is i'm
possible to run freight trains with reg
ularity, and nobody knows this better
than the people of the Northwestern
States, and 1t is their duty to prepare
for such contingencies and not suffer
through their own shIftlessness and
then blame 1t on the railroads. Give
the devil his due. and everyone, even
the plundering corporations. square
deal.

The growing demand for the punish
ment Of those who mismanage corpora
lions as felons Is due to the recognized
fact that all corporations are person
ally conducted enterprises The In
dividual is responsible for the corpor-
ate morals. There are in reality
neither good nor bad corporations, as
such. A corporation Is only a mechan-
ism invented and used by men for their
convenience and profit. What is done
by 1t, either lawfully or unlawfully, is
the act Of men, and the men not the
mechanism are responsible for 1t. If
railroad train or a street car, or
an automobile runs over person, we
arrest the engineer, conductor, motor
man or chauffeur, and punish him. We
don't demollsh the engine, or the motor
car. Neither do we fine them. Filming
corporations is no less absurd. I'm

The yene.uela Scandal.

1t Is not kindly perhaps to rub old
sores on much-bedeviled administra-
ton, with the Presidents. cabinet, or
some of them, down with nervous pros
tration and others threatened with
enough of 1t to soon require the siren
uous Muldoon treatment. But we feel
1t Is a public duty to respectfully in
quire what is the matter with yene-
zuela? 1t has been given out at Wash
ington-or was 1t at Oyster Bay THAT
diplomatic endeayor has reached Its
limits" 1t Is now two or three years
since that strenuous citizen, Cipriano
Castro, outraged our State Department
by declaring war upon the Bermudez
Asphalt Company Of New York, in con-
sequence, as he declared, of that cor
poration having financed revolution
In Venezuela. Castro's way of punish
ing a bad trust" is very similar to
the plan of President Roosevelt with
the bad trusts here. Castro hanls the
asphalt trust into court before judges
of his own appointing, and the court,
finding the trust is bad trust and
guilty of high crimes and misdemean-
ors, fines 1t the enormous sum of $751;
100000. Yet this action of Castro and
thhe Venezuela courts-copied after the
action Of President Roosevelt and our
courts-appears to exasperate our State
Department, and as diplomatic endeav-
or has reached its limits" we may ex-
pect the matter to soon assume more
serious aspect. Whether President Cas-
tro and his judges have good evidence
against the wicked asphalt trust is
shrouded In mystery, for, as far as the
American public is concerned, the evil
dence gathered by President Roosevelt's
special commissioner, Mr.. Calhoun, on
the matter, was suppressed and slum-
bers In the archives Of the State De
partment. Some Of the anti-Rooseyelt
Republicans are unkind enough to say
that the report exonerated President
Castro from the charge of unfalrness
and proved the asphalt trust to {.
guilty, as the Venezuela court found 1t
to be after hearing all the evidence.
This climax Of the Venezuela scandal,
which was such disgrace to our State
Department that Loomis, the then ,"'act-
ing Secretary, was forced to resign
from the department. being charged by
our Minister to Venezuela as in the pay
of the trust, and perhaps that is what
the suppressed Calhoun report shows.
Under all these circumstances 1t is but
fair to Inquire why diplomatic relations
with Venezuela has reached Its linn
