Colombia Will PIay Fair,

Washington, Sept. 2. Minister
Gertes. of Colombia, issued state
ment today in which he said: "In
view of the pending conflict between
Holland and Venezuela, a rumor has
been circulated to the effect that a
revolutionary movement will soon
take place in Venezuela and that Co.
lombia will permit the bulk of the
necessary fighting men to cross her

ances against Venezuela but no mat
ter how grave they are, or may be-
come, the government of Colombia

ed out that if the United States stood

Joint disciplnarian with Holland would
be the United Staes and not European
power.

from London indicating the possibility
of Great Britain taking some action to
assist Holland in her dispute with Pres

The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1908-08-28

Among the contributors to the Pacif-
ic Monthly is @. 3. s. Wood, promi-
nent lawyer of Portland, Oregon, who
is fearless and unbiased writer, and
does not hesitate calling things by their
right names. Mr. Wood is "a writer OF
standing and good reputation, although
censured by some of his political enc
mics and by the agents of the subsidiz-
ed press, he is highly respected by all
who know him.
His article in the August number of
the Pacific Monthly is very good and
we would recommend its perusal by all
our readers.
How often we find people, even of ed
ucation an intelligence, ready to con-
denim things of which they know moth
ing whatever about, nor will they inves-
tigate the subject before rendering
their opinion. The editorial that re-
Gently appeared in the Idaho Statesman
under the heading of "Waving the Red
Flag, !" condemning the Pacific Monthly
as publication unfit for circulation,
shows how radical and intolerant some
writers N be when they think that
they are doing something to please
their masters.
Harvey Scott, editor of the Oregonian.
made an attack on MIR. Wood out of
pure spite because every time they have
an encounter, politically, legally, or
otherwise, Scott always gets The. worst
of it, and has been sore at Mr.. Wood
ever since the voters of Oregon turned
Mr.. Scott down, as candidate for the
u. S. Senate, in favor of Mr.. Wood, and
thus destroying his fondest dreams
aud the greatest ambition of his life.
The editor of the Statesman probably
thinks that when the big dog growls, it
is necessary for the little one to bark.
Mr.. Wood never passes an opinion
upon any subject without first giving it
serious study and thorough investiga-
ton, and then he delivers his opinion
without fear or favor.

it's because it will tax the honest and
prudent banker to make up for the dis
honesty and imprudence Of others.
This is tacit admission that, in his
opinion, there will be dishonest bank
ers who will get away with their depos-
itors money. Because, il there were
no dishonest bankers there would be
no losses to be made good. No certifi-
cate of character is now required for a
banker; but we may be sure that.
under the proposed plan of guaranteed
deposits, no man or men of known dis
honesty or doubtful character will be
permitted to engage in the banking
business. Mr. Taft, however, is per-
fectly willing TO guarantee enormous
profits to the protected industries by
imposing tax in the form of tariff
on the honest consumer.
The whole speech reads like the plea
of lawyer in defense Of client whom
be knows to be guilty; who has been,
in open court, proven guilty beyond
the possibility of doubt, and against
whom he knows that the jury, if mind
full of its oath, will return verdict of
guilty as charged in the Indictment

collect from the people their contribu-
tons to the national republican cam
paign fund, the republicans will point
with pride to the fact that they have
redeemed every pledge. We promised
to revise the tariff, and we have done

roads but, inasmuch as they knew bet
ter than we how they wanted it done, we
have permitted them to do the reguIat

"The tariff, 10 number of schedules,
exceeds the difference between the cost
of production of such articles abroad
and at home, including a reasonable
profit to the American producer. = >
On the other hand, there are schedules
in which the tariff is not sufficiently
high to give the measure of projection
which they should receive upon repnb-
lican principles, and, as to those, the
tariff should be raised'
Perfect fairness demands that Mr..
Taft point out specifically those sched-
ules that he thinks ought to be raised.
Perhaps those are the very ones that
the people are clamoring to have re-
duced. His failure to state specifically
what schedules he thinks ought to be
reduced leaves us the reasonable sup
position that he fears there wonld be no
campaign contributions from those
trusts affected by such reduction, and
that they might decline to coerce their
employees into voting for him.
"a system of protection thus adopted
and put in forcehas led to the establish
meut of rate of wages here that has
greatly enhanced the standard of living
of the laboring man."
If this be true, why has it been neces-
sary for labor to form unions in order
to wiring from reluctant beneficiares Of
the tariff a "rate of wages" sufficient to
sustain LIEF Why is it that there are
million idle men in the United States
begging, praying for work? Why is it
that hundreds of people die in the large
cities of this country every winter for
lack of sufficient food, shelter and cloth
ing? Why has it been necessary to
establish soup houses to relieve the un-
employed poor? Why is it that the
boasted "full dinner pail' too often
contains nothing but a little charity
soup? Mr.. Taft, if he knows anything
about the matter at all, knows that the
increase in wages of labor has not kept
pace with the increased cost of the nee
essaries of life.
Concern is expressed for the welfare
of the farmer. Credit for how much
sincerity can be given Mr.. Taft, when
we reflect that he advocates a high
protective tariff which enables the
trusts, particularly the steel trust, the
harvester trust and the Standard Oil
Co., to rob the farmerY Now that it
has been shown upon unimpeached
testimony that American made farm
machinery can be bought cheaper in
foreign countries than it can at home,
republican farmers have been forced to
see that they are the victims of an iniq-
uitous tariff.
Mr.. Taft objects to guaranteed depos-
