CASTRO'S COUNTRY.

1t is claimed that under the rule of
President Castro Venezuela has been
brought to the verge of ruin. The peo-
pie of Caracas are without business
and the poorer classes are in a starving
condition. We don't know whether this
is true or not. Possibly the picture may
be overdrawn in the interest of those
who have concessions down there
which Castro has abrogated. The coun-
try is one of the garden spots of the
world and there should be no end to the
production of the necessaries of life.
Venezuela is an agricultural and pas
toral country. with forests Astounding.
Sugar cane. coffee, cocoa. cereals. cot
ton and other products of tropical and
sub-tropical zones are grown. The sub
tropical area occupies practically all
the rich and varied land in the valleys
Cotton grows wild and coffee has been
a staple product for over 100 years The
climate is unsurpassed. The country
ought to be populated by happy. con-
tented and prosperous people.
Castro has succeeded in embroiling
Venezuela with several other countries,
the United States among the number,
and up to date little has been done
about it. He has managed to bluff his
way through somehow. If existing con-
ditions down there are as bad as re-
ported, however, it is difficult to I'M
derstand why the people do not cast
off the yoke of the dictator and live in
peace and plenty.

TOM JOHNSON OF CLEVELAND.

The dispatches yesterday told that
Tom Johnson. mayor Of Cleveland, had
lost his fortune and would be COM
smaller one. sell his automobiles and
reduce his expenses to a comparatively
small scale of living. Johnson himself
made the announcement, and did il
cheerfully. as he would have told of a
stroke of good luck. Never a whimper
about the hard luck that had befallen,
no heroics about the sacrifice he had
made in trying to save his brothers
fortune, no appeal for sympathy or pity
just a plain statement of fact from
game loser in the battle of life.
Old Mulvaney, in one of Kipling's
stories, said he was ready to. die any
time because he had seen Real man
that day. If there is a real man in
public life today anywhere in these
United States it is Tom Johnson, mayor
of Cleveland. the best-governed city in
the country He has always been a
good fighter: he has played the game
on the square, and he has won the
things most worth while in this world,
the affection of his fellow man and the
approval OF his own conscience. He
has had opponents. who have done
their utmost to ruin him because he
served the people: he has been misun-
derstood and misrepresented and at
tackled in a thousand cowardly ways,
but he has stood up to his work, has
rendered great service to his city, and
his example has been an inspiration to
every American who believes that good
government is possible in cities under
a republican form of government.
Here's wishing success TO Tom John
son. More power to him and good for

serves

SHEARINe THE LAMBS.

In spite Of the experiences of the
last year. the stock market in New
York has been giving another beautiful
example of the ease with which the
lambs can be lured to the shearing and
separated from their fleece by the men
who have the facilities all ready and in
working order.
Nothing could be simpler than the
game as it was worked this time. The
public had been out of the market for
a long while and was accommodating a
little surplus. The big interests sup
ported the market TO give it an APP
pearance of strength and systematical-
iy prepared the suckers for an advance
in case Taft was elected. Prosperity in
capital letters was predicted in the
event of Republican success.
What more natural than that the
unwary should be certain of profits if
they bought in advance of the election
and took profits when the expected
prosperity appeared? Taft was elect
ed and prices scared. Mr.. Taft HIM
self boosted for the game. perhaps in
nocently. by his Cincinnati speech.
which was accepted as assurance that
he would be good.
SO the prices went up and the public
went in. The big interests unloaded
the securities they had bought at panic
prices and got handsome profits on
them. Then came the inevitable; the
heavy financial support Of the market
was withdrawn. prices dropped. the
market lost what the writer's were
pleased to call its buoyancy and the
general public lost its wool.
Three little peas under a shell have
been known to work financial wonders
in the hands of an expert; but the
shell game is an amateur performance
compared 10 the Misunderstanding Of
Wall street. Men who would laugh at
the shell game go into the stock mar
ket with confidence that they can beat
it. though they don't stand as much
show Of winning as they would If they
played faro against a brace bank.
There win be no genuine, permanent
advance in securities until the earning
capacity of railroads and industrial
concerns makes their secures worth
more. Meanwhile the man who buys
for speculation on margin. and not for
investment. is q proper subject for an
inquirendo as to his sanity.

coNcEALINe THE FACTS.

| President Roosevelt has not heard
the last of the Prairie Oil & Gas COM
pany's franchise in Oklahoma. The
subject has been revived since the cleo
ton and there are calls for the report
of Secretary Ethan Alien Hitchcock
submitted to the president in 1904, de-
nying the company a permit to con-
struct a pipe line in the territory. The
fact has just come to light that the re-
port is filed I'm the department of jus
/ tice and that nothing less than a reso-
luton of congress will cause it to be
made public.
So far as can be learned. there was
considerable politics mixed with the oil
business in 1904. The Standard Oil COM
pany could not bring Hitchcock to
terms and Governor Higgins OF New
York wrote to Roosevelt and enlisted
his support. and Secretary Hitchcock
was ordered to grant the permit. which
he did reluctantly. The Standard Oil
contribution of 100000 to the Repub-
Iican campaign fund was paid irnme-
diately afterward.
Two years later the regulations of the
interior department regarding pipe
lines were made more drastic than
ever, and it is said that in the con-
gressional campaign of that year
President Roosevelt promised a certain
western senator that he would remove
Hitchcock the day after election. which
he did by announcing that the secre-
tary had resigned of his own volition.
The regulations were promulgated on
the eve of Secretary Hitchcock's retire
ment from Office. The Standard Oil
company defied the department and re-
fused to apply for permits In April
1908, Secretary Garfield sent for Presi-
dent ONeill of the Prairie OH & Gas
company, a subsidiary organization of
the Standard. and agreed to waive the
common carrier requirement to which
the company objected.

TEACHERS SALARIES.

In raising the salaries of public
school teachers the board of education
does tardy justice to the men and wo-
men who have made the Salt Lake
schools notable for their efficiency and
high standard. The increase is small
as compared with the advance in the
cost OF living in past years. but ii is a
recognition of valuable services and
paves the way for better things in the
future.
The proposed lengthening of the school
year is also a good step. The curricu-
lum established has been crowded into
so short a time for instruction that
thorough work has been almost impos-
sible in some branches; the teachers
have been compelled to spend more
time in leisure than they could afford
with the limited salaries paid them.
and the school children have had longer
summer vacations than were desirable
or profitable.
The next and most important prob
lem before the board is the urgent need
OF a High school building that will ac-
commodate the growing needs Of the
city and provide adequate opportunity
for the work OF the school. The pres
ent buildings might be used for tech
meal high school, such as the more pro-
gressive cities have already estab-
llshed The development of manual
training and the education of boys and
girls for the real work of life all tend

and il would be greatly to their advan-
tage If they could learn in school the
things which would best qualify them
for the calling to which they turn in
practical work. Given a first-class

ton; and since the large majority OF
pupils will have to go directly into
wage-earning occupations of some sort
after leaving the public schools. it is
IL in advance
We believe the superintendent and
the board recognize the necessity for
some such advance in methods and
that they will establish the facilities for
it as soon as possible. Meanwhile they
ought to be assured that they will have
the approval of the public in such an
undertaking. and that the sooner the
move is made the more heartily will
they be supported in it.
