HE CHARGES PRESIDENT NOW
WITH DODGING.
IT Have Lived in Vain if Your Ac-
cusations Have Lost Me Single
Friend" Bryan Says.

Rock Island, ILL.,, September 29.-
"I have lived in vain if your accusa-
tions have lost me single fricnd,'
said w. j. Bryan in letter address,
ed today to President Roosevelt, re-
plying to that from the president
written Sunday last.
Mr.. Bryan points to his record and
declares that it is sufficient answer
to the insinlations Of the Chief Exc
cutivc that he is in connection with
or controlled by The trusts.
Rcvcrting to the charges against
Governor Haskell, Mr.. Bryan says
that the president, in response to his
request, did not dcign to suggest Il
tribunal which could determine those
charges, but instead proceeded to pass
Judgment upon him, and he informs
the president that The occupant Of
that high Office cannot deny to the
humbcSt citizen The right to protect
his reputation and vindicatc his name
IN the courts.
The letter is as follows:

THE VENEZUELA PREDICAMENT.

There continues to be persistent
and not unnatural feeling that, II the
present troubles between Holland and
Venezuela finally come to a crisis,
President Castro, the nominal dictator
Of the South American republic, will
easily come to terms That gentleman
has shown himself to be the Sultan of
Turkey in this respect He is the es-
sence Of arrogance, and one might
Judge he we're unafraid Of the eombin-
cd armies and navies Of the world, as
long as the powers are willing to toll
crate his actions and baby him along.
But when any one Of the powers final
ly loses its patience and really threat
ems him with actual harm, he gives in
and is as docile as a lamb.
There are many reasons to hope that
Holland will not decide to come to open
hostilities with Venezuela, however
equal to the occasion sne might prove
herself one reason Is largely senti-
mental Aside from the regrets that
all must feel in this enlightened age,
when two nations cannot come to an
agreement without recourse to the IL
The morning journal-courier., 1908-08-25

logical argument Of brute force, there
is the special consideration In this
case that Holland Is today the center
and home OF the world-peace move
ment, 1t Is the Hague that Is the scene
Of the peace congresses, There, too, Is
the peace palace, Holland seems the
last country In the world to seek re-
course to arms as the only available
means of settling an international diff
flculty.
Yet such an arrogant, uncommuni-
catlve person as Castro Is, who per-
sists In dealing with nations In q man
ner that is quite as dlctatorlal as are
his relations with the so-called repub-
lie which he rules cannot forever he
tolerated. Holland can see no reason
for the peremptory way In which Cas-
tro decided that Minister dc Reus was
| persona non grata and ordered him
out OF Venezuela almost without mo-
ment's warning and with no word OF
satisfactory explanation Furthermore,
with the agreement that has now been
reached with the United States, name
| ly that, II redress was sought with
arms, there would be no objection by
us on the grounds Of the Monroe doc
trine, there are now no entanglements
that Holland need fear, should she de-
eide to punish Castro and bring him
TO his senses. The United States, the
universally recognized corrector OF
| Venezuela has agreed to stand by and
offer no objection. To Holland have
been transferred temporarily the punt
tive powers France and not few 9TH
err powers would quite enjoy the sport
of seeing Castro worsted.
II arms must be sought It may be
hoped that Holland will see the wis
dom Of an effectual blockade, as com
pared with an actual entry into Ven.
ezuela. The same ends could thus very
quickly be gained without any losses
OF life or property on either side
whereas. as has been pointed out, tbs
landing of troops would be only tht
signal for Immediately uniting the ad
herents OF Castro the more, That would
leave Venezuela more Castro ICED
than ever after the present difficulty
Is settled, condition much to be re
GREETED.

which he holds Perhaps this Is true;
probably It is not true, In view OF the
loyalty to Hughes OF upstate republl-
cans and of many thousands OF voters
who are not republicans at all, Hughes
apparently IL the strongest man who
could be nominated for governor OF
New York, Yet, even II this were not
the case, even II his nomination should
ondanger the republican ticket In New
York, II would materially strengthen
that ticket IN other doubtful states,
with Bryan leading the opposition, the
republican party cannot afford to strain
off any Of Its morality To do so would
start n drift Of conscientious voters 10
Bryan which might prove disastrous 70
the republican national ticket.
II would be possible for Taft to win
without New York, II would be very
perllous, however. for him and his par.
~ TO throw away their best chance or
carrying New York which apparently
consists In the denomination OF Hughes,
when failure to renominate him would
weaken the republican battle from ev-
erywhere. In view Of this unique situ-
alton President Roosevelt and the TAFT
leaders generally insist that Hughes
be named MS the head Of the state tick
et That active efforts on their part
viii be required 10 bring the sulky
politicians into line seems to be the
general belief Of those who know the
present situation In New York.

AGAIN THE STATE POLICE.

II the story sent out from Middle
town and given widespread circulation
Is true about the raid Of the state
police on certain residents OF that city
Of Italian birth, then a grievous
wrong has been done all concerned.
1t appears that Ave Italian residents
Of Middletown were visited by men,
bers of the state police force and were
asked to sell their visitors some lager
beer. 1t Is further stated that the re-
spouse was the same in each instance,
that he did not keep saloon and did
not have beer for sale; that while
there was beer on the premises It was
for private consumption Refused the
beer, the officers proceeded to search
the suspected houses and took away
what beer was found. A controversy
having arisen between the officers and
the neighbors, the former drew their
gums and proceeded to fire, inflicting
injuries.
If these are the actual facts the
state police department has something
to do in order TO preserve the princi-
pies OF justice in the good old state
Of Connecticut The alleged action OF
the police Is not to be tolerated mo-
ment, 1t is a serious thing indeed to
thus initiate the new corners among
us to such a shocking misdirection OF
Justice, The laws Of the common
wealth must be enforced but not n,
the sacrifice of fair play.

THE HAzING CASE ENDS.

In insisting that the eight young ca
diets charged with hazing at West Point
should be expelled, Col Hugh l.. Scott,
the superintendent, was obviously Of
the belief that such a summary action
was needed The recent act of congress
prescribed that every cadet guilty Of
hazing should be expelled: Col Scott
was convinced that there had been
hazing and that he had found the gull
ty parties, and he was left no aIterna-
tive but to order their expulsion.
If his decision has now been re-
versed entirely or in part by Secretary
Wright, President Roosevelt or both,
their Interference has come more as a
punishment and u rebuke TO the super
intendent than anything else. The lat
ter's ability to determine what is and
what is not hazing has been impeach-
ed. His authority has been made a
laughing stock with the cadets. Al
though not charging him out and out
with being an incapable superintend-
ent, the government officials indirectly
imply that of him and in such a way
that he must suffer a loss of authority
with every cadet. The question natur-
ally follows whether the high officials
have done right In overriding the col
onel's authority without putting sup
| erintendent in his place that Is capa-
BILE Of making hazing decisions to their
way OF thinking. Certainly their action
will not tend to lessen the amount OF
hazing at West Point under Col. Scott
in the future,
There is good reason to believe Col.
Scott knew what he was doing when
he decided to expel the eight hazers,
especially when he had the law, con-
gressional ruling, before him, The
/ Colonel himself was found guilty OF
hazing during his own cadet days. His
offence was followed by suspension
only He was set back a year without
pay or allowances, In those days ex-
pulsion was not stipulated But his
own experiences must have taught him
just what constituted .hazing, Score
tary Wright and his dictionary defni-
tons of hazing, mentioned in his order
suspending six Of the present eight
Cadets to the contrary Colonel Scott
was in position to know what the
objections to hazing at the academy
are, If his good judgment has been Sc.
verely rebuked, the government should
now take steps to counterfeit the de.
leterous effect its order will have witt
the West Point discipline under his
superintendent.

THE MINNESOTA JOHNSON.

Events appear TO be shaping the po-
litcal career Of Governor John A.
Johnson Of Minnesota, He has re-
Gently been giving an illustration of
man In charge Of his own destiny only
to find an uproarously enthusiastic
democratic convention planting itself
squarely In his way, and demanding
that he turn right about face. Con-
trary 10 his wishes he has been noml-
mated for the third time to the highest
Office within the gift of the people
of that state and has been obliged to
accept
Though dlsinclned to run again for
the Office the Anal acceptance of the
nomination suggests that Governor
johnson does not agree with the po-
litical star gazers and readers, who see
In his possible defeat this fall, on ac-
count OF presidential enthusiasm, his
removal from public life. 1t Is not at
all clear why the conclusion should
he reached, that because he may be
commanding popularity and fitness Of
Mr.. Taft, his removal to private life
follows. Defeat has had no dscour-
agement on the political fortunes OF
Mr, Bryan. For the third time he has
been nominated for the presidency.
But Governor Johnson's possible de-
feat would follow two triumphant
elections In state usually controlled
securely by the republicans, 1t would
appear that 1t should take more than
such a turning down at such a time
TO ruin his usefulness as a candidate
for office OF his political house of
Zion.
A much more sober view of Cover
nor Johnson's hold on the esteem OF
the voters would suggest the contln-
uance of his political prestige with
out regard TO the outcome of his ex-
perience this fall. His election would
of course, largely increase the value
of his stock but defeat would not re-
duce It to the liquidatlng point, The
rise Of Governor Johnson has to dc
with certain intellectual and mora
qualities, which are not set aside be-
cause of their failure 10 score under
particularly adverse conditions. HI
will not represent less, as personify
ing specified political virtues, because
he Is not permitted by the people o.
Minnesota to stand In the way OF Mr.
Taft securing the electoral vote o.
that state.
The fact Is that Governor johnson
Is man Of ability, character and So
