had no right to distribute obnoxious liter
allure. The final item in the bill of COM
plant against Castro is that NJ. De Reus,
the Dutch minister, was unceremoniousiy
dismissed, Venezuela simply sending him
his passports instead of notifying the
government of Holland that he was per-
soma non grata. This phase of the case
recalls the De LONE incident of 1898. The
Spanish minister at Washington had writ
ten private letter in which he slurringly
characterized President Mckinley as a
vacillating. time-serving politician much
as NJ. de Reus wrote to a commercial or
ganization in Holland describing Castro
as a dictator. This letter was captured
by Cubans and sent to the State Depart
ment here. The United States, after sat
isfying itself that the letter was authentic.
cabled Minister Woodford at Madrid in
structions to request the Spanish govern
ment to withdraw Senior de LONE. as an
unwelcome parsonage. De Lone. learn
ing of the contemplated action, had pre-
viously cabled his resignation. which had
been accepted before Gen. WOodford could
express the wish of this country.
Thus ii Is to be seen that in an almost
precisely similar case the United States

claims should have been pursued by Vene-
Zuela. Castro's act of diSmiSsing the
minister without giving his government a
chance to withdraw him places him in
an indefensible position. OF course. this
is only a question of form, but SO is the
incident of the omitted salute. and so. in
effect. is the matter of the so-called con-
sui at Curacao In none of these cases
has there been actual physical injury or
financial loss. Yet all three incidents
form part of the general tangle of rela-
lions constituting possible cause of war.
Were Castro more amenable to reason and
more observant himself of forms and
ceremonies there might be hope of a pa
cific adjustment. But, unfortunately, his
government of Venezuela is based upon
the policy of force. having been estab-
lished by violence and maintained through
disregard of all obligations, personal. po-
litical and international. The final reck-
oning cannot be long postponed.

Mr.. Bryan's Economy CRY.

Economy is a good cry, but to be eff
fective it must be illustrated. so to say.
Particulars as to eXtravagances COM
planned of and as to promised retrench-
ments must be given.
This is the difficulty with Mr.. Bryan's
latest campaign deliverance. 1t is not
sufficiently specific. Appropriations have
grown. But so has the country. The
army and the navy are costing more than
ever before. But they are doing more
work than ever before. Would Mr. Bryan
halt the country's growth? Would he
reduce the army to the old skeleton
figure. and stop all additions to the
navy?
Let us see how that sort of retrench-
ment would work with the Bryan policies
in force.
The peerless leader would have us haul
down the flag Immediately in the Philip
pines. turn the country over to the
natives. and warn the outside world to
keep hands off as to the native control.
But what would such a warning be worth
in the face of the continued growth of
the naval power of other nations and the
decay of our own? What power would
heed it? We should in issuing it simply
make ourselves laughing stock
Then suppose we should brandish
sword in the face of the Orient Japan in
particular, on the general proposition of
Asiatic immigration. inviting trouble and
certain to provoke it. If we had cut off
naval increase and put that service on
short commons what would inevitably
be the result? War, with this govern
ment unprepared, and European SYM
pathy scant because of our cheeseparing
policy toward our national defense. We
should occupy the ridiculous attitude of
having made a bluff without the means
of supporting it.
AS to other things, Mr.. Bryan should
know, and does know, that there has been
as much democratic as republican support
for pensions, for improving rivers and
harbors. for public buildings, for extend
ing rural free delivery, and all such mat
tiers. When what is called the pork
barrel is opened, as many democratic as
republican arms are thrust in, and both
sides draw out as large slices as they can
seize.
II Mr.. Bryan reaches the White House
he will want Congress to do for him, and
so he will be obliged to do for Congress
He will find himself powerless If he vetoes
appropriations right and left in order to
redeem campaign deliverances about
economy. Bills will be passed over his
vetoes-for appropriation bills are always
popular-While measures he desires will
find hard shedding, and may not get
through at all. Uncle Sans establish
ment requires. a good deal of money, and
stinting it would not be economy, but, in
the end, the very opposite.

Victory for the Law,

From the New York Evening Post.
Gov Fort is entitled to hearty congrat-
ulations upon the successful outcome of
the battle of Atlantic City. He may
truthfully report to his constituent, the
state of New Jersey: I'VE have met the
enemy, and they are ours" His victory
on behalf of law enforcement was clear
cut and decisive, without his having to
bring into action his reserves, the legisa-
ture and the militia. AS a result. we VEN
ture to say, the prestige Of the governor
ship stands higher than for years. and
throughout the state minor officials
charged with the enforcement of the WIS
will be stimulated by the governors firm
attitude and impressed by the actual re-
suits of his declaration of answering
earnestness of purpose.

Incorporate the Stock Exchange.


Second only to the United States
Treasury is the effect of the New York
Stock Exchange on the financial and
business affairs of the United States.
On this exchange are fixed the buying
and selling prices of all the railroads
of the country and of industrial Sc
curities. The current rate of interest
is determined by it's brokers' offers and
bids.
This means immense power. and any
immense power unrestrained not SUI

is inevitably abused If the stock ex-
change were merely private gambling
house for SPECTATORS and did not affect
values and interest rates throughout
the whole United States il might plau-
Sibly assert it's freedom from regulat alton.
But so long as it continues to be second
only to the United States Treasury in
the widespread influence of it's finan-
cial transactions it must be forced to
incorporate. it must be made subject to
as stringent supervisions as a bank, an
insurance company or railroad, and
the making Of false quotations must be
at least as severely punished as the
giving of rebates or the making of
false bank statements

Ladies, Is This Truep
From the Portland Oregonian


Those who do not believe that woman
inhumanity to woman exceeds mans in
humanity to man. in street cars and else
where, should take observations for a
few moments in a department store A
woman shopper looks down upon the
woman clerk an inferior, and very often
by her language shows the attitude of her
mind. The most cruel treatment a woman
clerk receives Is from her woman custom
ers. A man making purchases in the
mems department will Jolly with the
clerks and meet them as equals. There is
the utmost kindness and consideration. If
you do not believe it, watch and. see.
