Close to Anarchists,

That political party which figures
every four years in a small way and
delights to call itself Socialists, re-
sents with scorn the imputation that
they have anything in common with
the anarchists. They declare that
they are for law and order in a
way, but that they would make
sweeping changes in the existing or
der They deny most emphatically
that they are anarchists, and the
vehemence Of this denial has drawn
a considerable number of more or
less harmless cranks into their
ranks.
The nomination of a boy undcc the
constitutional age, who is serving a
25-year sentence for manslaughter,
to be President of the United States
shows more clearly than words can
express, the true inwardness of the
Socialists. 1t shows that if they had
the power this magnificent structure
which, we call goernment would
torple and the end would be chaos.
This last act of insanity has put the
Socialists tcyond the pale. They are
no longer e. titled to respect due the
misguided and 2eble minded. L!ley

Wise New Workers..

The spectacle of New York reluc-
tantly falling in line with the pro-
gressie politics of the rest Of the
nation has again been presented at
Denver, eben as it met the eye OF
close obsrvrs of the Republican con-
vention in Chicago. Gray boomers
and Johnson boomers sought in vain
to secure the aid of New York in
the effort to defeat William Jen-
nings Bryan for the nomination
Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany
boss, was the object of their solicita-
tions,. but Mr.. Murphy, after re-
naming reticent for a long time, fl
nally roushsafed the information
that unless he could be assured OF
enough delegates to actually defeat
Bryan on the first ballot, his men
would be for the Nebraskan. And
there were not enough anti-Bryan
delegates to keep the great Com
nlonr out of the place. This is all
the more remarkable when it is re-
memebered that in the 'Demochatic
convention it requires two-thirds to
nominate, while in the Republican
convention bare majority was suf-
ficient.
While it seems that New York is
being to some extent forced in both
parties to take back seat, even on
the bandwagons, the Empire state
wing of the Democracy is wise.
They are willing to defeat Bryan
they are anxious to defeat Bryan
but they are not anxious nor are
they willing to oppose Bryan and
then have him successful. They do
not care to be rated as opponents of
q successful candidate, if they can
see in advance that he is going to
be successful. AS one newspaper
man expressed it, they are willing
to defeat Bryan, but they are not
willing to almost defeat him.-Spar-

BILE tDat the wings woul5 ignite and

able the moth to fly to it's surroud-

That however has occurred. The
moth was a very large one, and its
wings must have been very dry, so
that when it founded through the
flame it set fire to one wing and
darted on to a curtain nearby which

that many summer evening fires in

meets every three years, and this is
the first time it has come to this
country. The last meeting was held
in Paris, France, in 1905, and three
years before that the gathering took
place in London. 1t is not likely that
the congress will again convene in

fever and other infectious diseases

congress have been organized in
every State in our own land. In
every section plans are being per-
fected for representation in the con-
gress. A number of the foregn gov
ernments have already announced to
the state department at Washington
the names of their official delega-
tes; while others have acquainted

down to the Cape Of Good Hope,
from the steps Of northern Russia
to the diamond fields of South Africa.
Every State in the Union is eX-

Shall We Fight Castro?

Are we going to fight Ciprlano
Castro and his plucky Venezuelans
lust to make Roosevelt holiday
and rake in votes for Taft? Such
seems the dire probabilities. Some
time ago President Castro took
such strenuos actions, in carrying
out his notions Of the square deal,
as to hurt the pocket nerve of some
American trusts with business int
erests in Venezuela. The Roose-
vels administration butts in, refuses
to accept arbitration of some Of the
claims, and resorts to its customary
bullying tactics. Castro's strong
point is that the Americans aided a
rebellion against the established
government Of the country. .~~
Such. in general and large, is the
cause of the quarrel. Of course
Cipriano Castro is known to be a
man of few if any scruples. and pre-
cisely the sort of obnoxious individ-
ual that almost every one would en-
Joy seeing thrashed---if there was
any color Of justification in admin
istering the thrashing. Fortunate
iy, at this time there is no justifica-.
hon for trying to punish the dough-
ty little president. It is probable
that the incident will not become
much more complicated or unpleas-
ant than it is now. The United
States has recalled its minister and
Venezuela has after waiting some
time retaliated by recalling her rep
resentative at the court of Theo
dore. And there the very pretty lit
tie QUARREL stands. Neitbcr coun-
try has recalled its consuls, SO that
we may maintain whatever CONNER
cial relations we have with Vene-
zuela.
Castro has proved himself as shift
tY in the cabinet as in the field Of
Mars. He is a good fighter, as alert
at lodging taxes as a New York
millionaire, quick to take ofense
and to resent it, has the bravery of
a toreador. and is altogether the
spectacular sort of fellow that shows
MP well upon the vaudeville and
grand opera stage. He made q
really beautiful play the other
day when Sleeper, our representa-
tive, demanded his passports. He
had his minister of alien affairs in
form Mr.. Sleeper that, as there was
absolute and perfect peace between
this country and Venezuela, no
passports were necessary. Exceed
ingly adroit. When the Venezuelan
minister Informed our State Depart
ment of his recall, he did not ask for |
transports.
It is exceedingly unfortunate, if
we really wish scrap with Castro,
that in almost every point of the
controversy he has the right on US.
We are defending the claim of de-
serter from the French army and
man of utter disrepute, because he
claims to be an American citizen; we
are defending the claims of an
American trust that tried to over
throw the Castro regime; we are de-
manding that Castro set aside the
rulings of the highest courts of Ven
ezuela; and we are demanding that
arbitrations into which we willingly
entered be reversed in our favor.
With our conscience corrupted i
with these injustices, it would be a
sad day when we entered upon a
war with Venezuela. The State.
