MY dear Mr.. Knox:
ITO your high professional quail

zeal and an entire Indifference to ev-
cry consideration save the honor AMI
interest of the people at large. Many
great and able men have preceded
you In the office you hold, but there
Is none among them whose admins
tration has left so deep a mark for
good upon the country's develop
ment.
"Under you Il has been literally
true that the mlghtlest and humblest
in the land have alike had It brought
home to them, that each was sure Of
the laws protection while he did
right, and that neither could hope
TO defy the law II he did wrong. In
what You have done you have given
proof not merely OF the profound
learning Of the jurist, but OF the bold
initiative and wide grasp OF the
statesman. You have deeply affected
for good the development of our en-
tire political system In It's relations
to the industrial and economic ten

'For all you have done / thank
you most earnestly not only on my
own behalf, but on behalf Of the
public whom you have served with
such single-minded devotion"

Amid confetti. near Wine" sausage, shrlnes

niversary Of Our Lady of Mount Carmel virtu-
ally marks the beginning of long series OF sim

formed Italians, distinguish with red letter

OVER AND UNDER Sf09-

Mr.. Bryan has always prided himself on SET
ting his face against class distinctions and dls-
tinctions based disparities of wealth and IN
come He has been Il consistent advocate OF the
81 political dinner, and many of his VISITS
TO this city has stipulated that he should
break bread at truly democratic feast, leaving
Lucullan Democratic Club banqnetS at $40 d
plate to ''reactionaries who had more or less
lost touch with primitive Jehersonlan SIM
plicity. His soul would probably have revolted
at the 500 plate Big Tim Sullivan dinner
last winter, which many of our stapchest JeI-
fersoniaus hereabouts attended with guste.
Why. then do Mr.. Bryan and his advisers IN
their plan for the publication of an honor
roll" of subscribers to the promotion or the
Democratic cause and his own candidacy, estao-
lish such plutocratic entrance fee as 500:
The patriot who gives 800 TO the Democratic
csmpaign fund of 1908 is 10 find bis name
properly blazoned in the newspapers But the
poorer brother who can give only SO or 81 Is
TO be deprived Of all the outward credit and IN
ward satisfaction of such publicity We cannot
find any logical basis for discriminating De
tween the larger and the smaller subscribers.
If each gives according 10 his means, the re
ward should be equal Jeffersonianism certainly
took day off at Lincoln when it was decided to
exait the greater girer and ignore the lesser.
Is Mr. Bryan going TO create classes and orders
of merit within the Democratic party, dividing
the elect 500 givers from the common herd

uFoRuATToN As TO SOCIALISM.

: Ler"uE himself described socialism a po-

sacrificed fo society. Bebel has defined it as
-'scicnce applied with clear consciousness and
"fU knowledge 10 every sphere of human
t''actiyity.' According 10 Proudhon il is every

definition which Kaufman narrowed a little

AN OPPORTTNTST.

The Hon. Thomas L. WatsOns charge that
Mr. Bryan lodged voting for an ex-Confed-
crate in the Democratic Speakership fight of
real point at issue 1t can easily be shown
that Mr. Bryan supported NJ. Crisp in 1891
after he had received q nomination from the
Democratic House caucus. He also supported
Speaker Crisp in 1893, when there was no op-
position on the Democratic side to his renoin-
nation. Mr. Watson, however. has been talk
ing of Mr. Bryans attitude in the caucus in
which Crisp and Mills fought for days for the
control of the House organization, That was
struggle between the radical free traders,
headed by Mills. the BreckinridgeS and Wilson,
of West Virginia and the moderates rein
forced by the distinctive ant-Cleveland ele-
ment. Mr. Bryan was then beginning his first
term in Congress and lie shrewdly avoided TAX
ing sides: for the bitterness between the
factions was intense and their strength was al
most even. He supported Springer, Of Illinois.
who represented nothing in particular. and
when Springer went over 10 Crisp and NOM
mated him Mr.. Bryan reaped all the advan-
tages and suffered mono of the unpleasant con-
sequences of having chosen between two re
Tengeful groups Of partisaDs.
The Nebraska statesman did nothing discred-
liable in steering a middle course between the
Crisp Scylla and the Mills Charybdis. He
showed only the aptitude which he has often
since disclosed in feeling out situation and
sacrificing an issue evidently unpopular for one
mOmentary more promising.

PROFIT AND LOSS FOR CASTRO.


A correspondent whose letter we print else
where in fo-day's paper makes merry over the
thought that it might be inconvenient to Ven
eZ1Iea TO lose her commerce with the United
States The Castronian land, he exultanty
procIaims. las 10 need whatever of the United
States the bulk of its commerce being with
other countries: wherefore all talk Of an en-
barge is absurd
It is unsefshly gratifying TO he thus assured
of yenezuela's independence of 1.-The barbarians
of the other America as Mr.. Castro calls Us.
a few years ago, before Mr.. Castro became
quite so rampsgeous, Venezuela got nearly %
per cent of her imports from the United States
and sent hither nearly 70 per cent of her eX-
ports at which time the United States was
surely not exactly a negligible quantity IN
Venezuelan commerce. Even in 1906 the latest
year for which we have Eenezueas figures.
Venezuela made more than 36 per cent OF her
purchases here and found market here for
more than 4S per cent Of all that she had to
sell At the same time less than ope-half of !
per cent Of our imports came from Venezuela
and less than two One-thousandths of our ex-
ports went to that country.
Which is why we repeat what we remarked
the other day, with all the consultations of
benevolent and altruistic philosophy, that if
Venezuela can stand it we can.
