THE SENATORIAL. VERDICT.
0Cedar Rapids Republican,


1.-THE attitude of your paper on the
senatorial succession is very fair and
just" said one man last Friday, "but
movement to give to Major Lacey the
the primary"
In reply we will say that we have
heard of such a, suggestion and one
space writer in Des Moines has been
filling certain outside papers. like the
Minneapolis papers, with that sort OF
stuff. He gets paid so much a COLI
umn for 1t and 1t is certainly astound-
ing and sensational enough to attract
attention and to secure publication.
But there is not a word OF truth in
It, We have heard that a few mon
in the Des +Moines headquarters are
still unreconciled to the result OF the
primary, but their efforts will be OF
no avail. We all agreed TO abide by
the result Of the primary. The pri-
mary was not entirely fair, insofar a.
some democrats not entitled to par
ticipate in it did nevertheless particle
pate. but there were not enough or
these to inyalidate the verdict, either
in morals or in law.
If Mr. Cummins had been defeated
he would have abided by the result.
But as he was not beaten his oppon-
ents are in duty bound to abide by
that result We have insisted on this
from the first and we have no oppo-
sition among decent minded stand
patters. If that phrase has not yet
gone out Of existence in its factional
sense But as we have already said,
the reports that any are unwilling to
abide by that result has originated
interested in keeping up factionalism
because 1t gives them something 70
write about and something to sell to
their p4Ders

President Addresses
The Enlisted Men.

Washington, Dec. T.-Presldent
Roosevelt paid a signal compliment
to the men of the army and navy py
attending a dinner given in their hon
or tonight by the local y. M. G. A.,
and making a speech.
One hundred uniformed men from
the ranks especially chosen from al
ferent branches of the service as de-
serving the honor were at the dinner.
Among the notable present besides the
President were Major General j.
Franklin Bell, chief of staff of the
army: Col. A. p. Hatfield. Y. ;. A.;
Major General George E. Elliott, Lieut..
Commander G. H. Burrage and others.
Henry B. Macfarland, district com
missioner, presided and introduced the
President, who said:

WASHINGTON SURPRISED.
Attitude Of Venezuelans Against Cas-
tro Not the One Expected.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE stirring
events in Caracas are somewhat OF d
surprise to officials i'm Washington,
where it had been generally expected
that any manifestation of hostile acts
by foreign power against Venezuela,
would have the result of solidifying all
elements Of the people ana make them
rally vigorously to President Castro
and his government
That they have not done so, but on
the contrary, have engaged in riotous
demonstrations against his interests
and those of his friends, is quite in
explainable to the authorities here. 1t
has been the common belief in WASH
ington that had the United States TAX
en- any forceful steps against Ven9-
zuela in the efforts to have it's claims
against that country arbitrated, Cas-
tro would have become a veritable
hero in the eyes of the people there.
1t is possible even, that anticipating
such an attitude, the administration
has been Indifferent to pushing a de-
mand for settlement. Now that Cas-
tro has left the country, the strong in
fuence he exerted over his people. in
the minds of the officials, appears to
be waning
Some interest is manifested at the
state department in the unofficial press
reports that Castro might seek an al
| lance with Germany. The report lacks
any substantial confirmation so far as
any state department advices so. The
government has felt that the situation
in Venezuela would gradually work it.
self out For this reason there has
been a persistent determination to ig-
more President Castro and look with
euuanimity on the doings of foreign
governments in their efforts to get sat
isfaction from him for alleged wrongs
so long as there is no interference with
American interests and no violation OF
the Monroe doctrine.

Caused by Venezuela De-
c|arrng State Of Defence.
Many Say There Is No Differ
ence from State Of War.
Castro Remains at Berlin, Little
Disturbed by Any Rumors.

Washington Dec. 17.--IS0cthipg of Il
cies today by the report which gcner-
ally obtained that Venezuela has de-
clared war against Holland. These re-
ports had their foundation in the dis
patch to the state department by way
of Bogota, transmitting telegram
from Caracas, saying that the govern
ment had declared q state Of VAR. 1t
this announcement was based on Vice
President Gomez's declaration that the
country is in a state Of defence be-
cause of Hollands scizing the coast
guard ship Alexis.
Officials interested in the situation
profess to sec no actual difference be-
tween a state of war" and state Of
Defence" taking the position that it is
a case of "a distinction without a diff
ference" A renewal Of the dcmonstra-
tions against the administration Of
Pre- sdent Castro would not surprise
the state department.
While it is premature to speculate
that the feelings will extend to an
omen revolution and consequent over
throw of the government. the state de-
partment will lose no time, it is un-
derstood in resuming diplomatic inter
course with the new administration to
the end that some action may be taken
on The unsettled claims against Nene-
zuela and the resumption Of friendly
nlat ions

TAFT AT WHITE HOUSE..
Confers With President on Coming
Trip to the lsthmus.

Charlottesville. Va. Dec. 17.-Presi-
dent-elect Taft visited the White
House today at the request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who wished to consult
him regarding Mr.. Taft's forthcoming
trip to Panama. While all of the ar
rangements have not been made, it
was decided that the trip shall be made
with two cruisers. He will start from
Charleston Jan. 25.
The decision to have two cruisers
convey the Presdent-elect is a precau-
tion suggested by certain senators on
the ground that there is no legal pro-
vision for a successor to the Presiden-
cy in the event of fatality overtaking
a President-elect prior to his inaugu-
ration. Further details of the trip are
to be worked out by President Roose-
welt.
This information was made known
by Mr.. Taft. who passed through here
on his way to Augusta tonight. 1t is
probable that Alfred Nobel of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and Frederick
P. Stearns of Boston will accompany
Mr. Taft. They are both civil engineers.
In the Taft party were Horace G. Taft
of Watertown, CT, and his wife, who
are on their way to Florida for the
Holidays.

"sANTA CLAUS" LETTERS
To Go to Dead Letter This Year and
Not to Local Charities. /.

Washington. Dec. I.-Postmaster
General Never today announced that
he would not renew his order issued In
December, 1907, permitting delivery 70
charitable organizations Of letters ad-
dressed to Santa Claus. Numerous
complaints have been made TO the'post-
master general by many charitable Or
ganizations that owing to the large
number of such letters taken by the
various charities while the order was
in force it was not possible to lnVest-
gate each case, and that the presents
given out fell into the hands Of un-
worthy persons. The practice also was
Objected to on the ground that II teno-

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Joint Commissions Recommends
Changes for Good Of the Service.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Important rec
concentrations for changes in the or
ganization Of the postal service are
made by joint commission on the busi-
ness methods of the postoffice depart
ment and the postal service today
which today laid before the Congress
the results of the deiberation during
the past two years.
The commission favors a permanent
head of the department. to be known
as director of posts. This officer, it is
suggested should be given the general
management of the postal service while
the postmaster general remains the
administrator of the postal finances.
1t is proposed to abolish the offices
of the fourth assistant postmaster gen
erals and to re-arrange the work un-
der seven separate bureaus.
1t is proposed to divide the country
into postal districts upon administrd-
tive and not geographical considera-
tions for the management of the postal
service. Fourth class postofficeS are
recommended to be placed on a salary
basis and postal notes or money orders
without advices are suggested for sums
not exceeding IS.

PECULIAR INTEREST
In Capt. Windsor's Safety, Outside
Personal Congratulations.

st. Johns, n. r., Dec. 17.-After near
ly hope for her safety had been aban-
doncd. the fishing schooner Leander
Gould, carrying a crew Of II men
reached port tonight. There has been
unusual interest in the vessels failure
to arrive as the loss of her comman-
der. Capt. Windsor would have ended
the deadlock now existing in New
FoundIand politics and placed the sup
porters of Sir Robert Bond, the premier
in majority. Capt. Windsor IS
member of the Legislature from Buena
Vista and supporter Of Sir Edward
Morris. the opposition leader. In the
November election each party elected
IS members.
The Leandcr Gould was nearly a
week overdue and it was feared she
had foundered in a heavy gale Fast
Saturday Capt. Windsor reports that
he had a terrible experience and that
at one time he expected the vessel
would be swamped. The schooner was

Of the crew of the Marion.
The accident, which was caused by
the swift current of Little He'll Gate,
occurred when the fcrryboat was
crowded with homes goers returning

ferryboat bow-on, and stove Il hole
into the side, where the wDmen's cabin
is, knocking the occupants down and
prccipitating the widest kind of panic.

be puWerless to prevent tho more
frightened of the women from jump

Steinway called for full speed ahead,
however, and sent the ferryboat along
side of barge moored below the ferry
slip, where all the passengers were
gotten off in safety.
Th Marion, badly damaged in the
collision, was run ashore at the foot
OF Jamaica avenue to prevent her
sinking. Her cargo was displaced by
