VENEZUELA MIGHT PROFIT BY
DROPPING CASTRO.

Earlier in the year some Of our own
jingoes were for teaching Venezuela a
lesson in good behavior; but cooler
Judgment prevailed, especially when the
public had . clearer understanding of
the trouble ..e asphalt question. To-
ward Holland. however, the Castro ad-
ministration has been so persistent in
its offensiveness that overt conflict was
expected long ago.
Holland, in the opinion of both Amer
lean and European observers, is justi-
fed in resorting to severe measures.
The trouble which at last has reached
an acute state began seven months ago.
Ever since then Holland has tried with
out avail to obtain some satisfaction
for the outrages committed at Caracas
and Willemstad-
Two worlds have their ewes on Cas-
tro. French papers say he has banked
in Europe large amounts from his
personal fortune" Dutch papers think
he Is seeking the Kaiser's aid and won't
get it. From Willemstad comes the
even more significant news that the
easy capture of & coast guard ship by
a Dutch cruiser and the suspicious
absence Of President Castro" have
alarmed the Venezuelans to the point
OF revolt.
Perhaps Castro is too patriotic. Per
haps Venezuela would get along better
with a safer and saner chief magis-
trate. In other words, perhaps a re-
volt against Castro would be the best
thing that could happen to the little
republic

PRESIDENT-ELECT TAFT AND
LABOR LEGISLATION.

Judge Taft sat a few seats from
Samuel Gompers at the Civic Fedora
ton banquet in New York the otner
evening. and the relations of the twain
seems most agreeable Mir. Taft took
pains to pass the cheerful pleasantly
across the board, and to make II plain
that he bore no malice because OF the
Incidents of the recent campaign
The incident means good deal more
than appears on the surface. Judge
Taft Is going to be President of the
United States, and he Is determined To
IL President OF the people of the Unit
Il SJates-of'all of them lie has been
misunderstood ,%F misrePrcsented as
10 ms atJituu1 lard labor lie has
been misrcpresented mainly because he
las been misunderstood. He is deter
mined that no feeling growing out Of
t-.s campaigns developments shall al
t-e, his attitude toward these ques-
tons.
Those who are best situated TO un-
CIsland the attitude Of the President
EJECT toward labor questions under
s-Ind that he takes the broadest and
most intelligent interest in those mat
ets which organized labor wants estab-
l.-hed before the country and in the
law books. Tie would like nothing bet
ter than to establish such a code of
liability as would do away with the
vicious and barbarous old theory of the
fcllow-servant. He recognizes that
idea as utterly archaic, in view OF the
latter-day development of Industrial
conditions. But ne wants the change
made properly and in order.
Likewise, Judge Taft would be glad
10 see the passage Of laws which would
do away with the damage suit between
the injured employee and the employer.
lie would favor some adaptation of the
continental system under which dam
ages are determined automatically.
Thus the fees Of the lawyers and the
delays of the courts would be avoided
In this matter of Judge Taft's at
titude toward labor a good deal Is vet
to be learned by those who have op-
posed him; and they will learn in time
that he is one of their safe and re-
liable friends.

AGAIN THE YORKSHIRE PUDDING
Directions for Its Preparation in Still
Another Way.

Yorkshire pudding is a hallowed
dish in many English families. 1t is
often an accompaniment of roast
beef, and in response to a request for
a recipe the following is reported from
century-old note left by a cook:
Take six tablespocnfuIs of -four,
with three eggs. a teaspOOnful of salt
and a pint of milk, so as to make a
middiiag stiff batter, a little sitter
than you would for pancakes: beat
it up well and take care it is not
lumpy; put dish under the meat and
let the drippings drop into it till it is
quite hot and well creased: then pour
in the batter. When the upper sur
face is brown and set. turn it, that
both sides may be brown alike. II
you wish it to cut firm, and the pud-
ding an inch thick. it will take two
hours at a good fire The true York
shire pudding is about half an inch
thick when done, but it is the fashion
in London to make them full twice
that thickness.

Venice PUDDING.

Five ounces of stale bread cut into
small pieces. three ounces Of lemon
peel, three ounces of sugar, three
ounces raisins. Pour a little orange
juice over this and stew awhile. Put
a little butter into a pan with a little
milk, three or four Jumps Of sugar,
Stir until turned a light brown. Take
four eggs and beat, then make a Gus
tard with these, and the buttered
milk, also the remainder of a pint of
milk; mix these well with all the 9th
ers, put into a buttered mould, and
stand in a saucepan of boiling water.
Boil for three or four hours until firm
in the center. Turn out and serve
with a good sauce.
