 Commenting on the differences he found between the work being done by officials in Europe and that followed by those in American cities Benjamin c.

He inter- viewed mayors. cabinet ministers and eth CT government officials on the question of nonkested population. He said that while he found an admirable earnestness among foreign officials in respect to the work of relieving conKAsted population. their snthu- siasTn in the work does not exceed that 6f many public men In New York. However, more men are found in cities abroad who are interested in such work than are found in this country. -

Marsh quoted Df. Adickes. mayor of Frankfort on Main. aB saying Americans give more tn charity than to proper remedy for social evils He said Adiekes thinks Amer jeans are inclined to permit private individ- uals and corporations to exploit the country, and then try to make amends by short sikhted charity. Adiekes. he said. declared. he is not in favor of socialism or paternal- ism, but that he favors anticipating the needs of community. and then meeting them in good season. His idea is to train the masses they will need little govern ing The most important question in Eng lana. Marsh thinks. is the land question. In Germany the land question is regarded as being fundamental to q solution of tho housing problem.

 AS we understand the situation now Mr. Bryan has no intention of aban- doning his citizenship in Nebraska He has purchased some land in Texas where he may make his winter home, hut says his real home will remain where it is. Whether by arranging to reside in Texas a portion of each year he hopes to have an anchor to vvinaward, and claim support from the South on that account we do not know
 nor does it matter very much Unless there is q marked and decided change in public sentiment during the next four years it will not be possible to elect him. whether he runs as South ern man or as a Western man. As The Observer remarks, the voters have sent him ditchward three times, and our judgment is that the process will be repeated still more decisively if oc' casiOn offers.

AffaiFs in vsnezusla have reached what may we'll be called the acute stage. and even while this is being put in type the troubles there may have cuiminatsd in war. Whatever may have been the motive Of Castro in leaving his country: whether it was really some physical ailment, whether he left the country forever to enjoy the millions he Is alleged to have ap- proprlated, or whether he saw that his career thera was at an end. and that he. was no lpnger safe-whatever may have been his reasons for leaving. 1t Is becoming evident that trouble Is looming ahead, if not already begun.
 Much depends on Vice President Gc- meg. who is now acting President It Is a we'll known fact that Gomez is and has been Castro's risht-hand man in all his military campaigns. and has won all his battles for him. This is not the first time he has been acting president for months at a time. and he never has evinced any desire to de- part from Castros policies. Present conditions. however. are different from any that have existed on former oc- casions of the kind, and if Gomez were moved by the spirit of refoEm, 1t seems is if all Circumstances would consntre to aid any moye he might make in that direction. It is general iy. understood that Castro cannot re- turn before next February, and by that time the public state Of mind in veneAueia, if. properly cultivated by leader of Gomez's ability. should have reached a stage where no one need fear the revenge or wrath of the present dictator

Tn the disclosure that of the 5s,7ss holders of stock in the Pennsylvania Railroad 2s.OO0. or 47r per cent are women. is food for surprise to the common idea of the ownership of corporation and for self -congratulation to the managers of the railroad. Sl4S,- 0o0. 900 is given as the aggregate of these women's holdings,
 By nature more cautions than men. the average woman inclines to invest ment rather than to speculation to hoard rather than risk.
