THE YENEZuELAN Rnprnpr

The American jingoes will doubt
less be greatly disappointed at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's refusal to order a
battleship parade for the purpose of
bringing the pugnacious and imperti-
nent Castro of Venezuela to a realiza-
ton of his obligations to this country
and other civilized powers. Diplo-
matte relations are now completely
severed, for the first time in fifty
years and the Venezuelan officials
have furnished ample excuse for dras-
tic action on the part of the American
government. The president, how
ever, has decided to let Castro stew
for a time in his own juice, with the
hope that he will finally be brought to
an appreciation Of the embarrassing
plight he will find himself in through
his own misguided efforts.
In spite of the present strained con-
dition of affairs, there is not the
slightest danger Of war in the near
future, or indeed at all. A similar
condition of affairs existed between
France and Venezuela a few years
ago. While diplomatic relations were
severed, trade continued and there
was outwardly no show of differences,
and diplomatic relations were finally
restored through a third power. only
to be broken. At present the United
States, France, Holland, Colombia and
| England are V~enezuela's u~nfriendly
list, and Italy is about prepared to
withdraw its diplomatic officials. 1t
is certain that Venezuela is in no posi-
| ton TO have such a list of %unfriendly
powers and must 500 make overtures
for a renewal of friendly relations,
In the meantime, President Roosevelt
has decided to refer the whole subject
to congress, unless there is a settle
ment before December, and so let
congress decide what shall be done
10 bring Castro to terms.
Our government has everything to
gain by the attitude taken by the
president and the State department.

THE TRUSTS AND THE FORESTS.

A lumber trust, with an entirely
new plan of campaign, is bulletined
from st. Louis. The new company is
to have a capital stock of $500, 0OO,-
600 and is backed by Weyerhauser,
the lumber king, who has taken the
novel position of offering the services
of the new combine to the government
In aiding the movement to preserve
the country's forests. Heretofore the
lumber combines have apparently had
but the n thought in view and that
was to denude the timber tracts Of the
nation as rapidly as possible and get
the lumber turned into cash. The new
combine proposes to place a limit on
the output, prohibit the cutting of
timber of small size and to provide for
a systematic replanting of forest
grounds that have been cut over.
1t must not be inferred that the new
Lumber trust is being inspired by any
philanthropic motives. The lumber
barons realize that there will be little
lumber in the country in the next
twenty years unless something is done,
and done promptly, to protect the for
est reserves and the other sources of
lumber supply. Accordingly, these
men have volunteered their expert as
sistance in the work of forest preser-
walton. The extent to which the gov
eminent will accept assistance from
such sources remaina to be determined,
but the fact that the lumber men are
taking such action is proof that the
movement for the conservation of our
forests was not started any too soon.

prefers the hotel cafes, where the service

THAT HYDRANT RENTAL,

The judgment rendered against the
city Of Omaha in the hydrant rental
case, growing out of the refusal of the
Water board to pay for hydrant serv-
ice furnished, was only to be expected
after the decision adverse to the Water
boards claims handed down by the
federal court of appeals in the early
spring. The judgment entered up by
the federal court involver bills for
only one years service, amounting to
a total of $~115,S67.67, of which about
s21, 900 is for interest on the past due
debt.
Our people, however, should under
stand what is really involved, which
is a much larger amount, and what
this litigation is costing them. Since
the Water board entered upon it's pol
icy to stop hydrant rental payments
the steadily accumulating bills of the
water company for hydrant service
had on July 1, last, reached $37S,-
961.65. This. however, is not the
whole claim, because these bills cover
a period Of three years, and being pay
able every six months will all draw
interest, II the present judgment is
affirmed, at the rate of 7 per cent from
the time the money became due. The
interest, therefore, already accrued at
this rate up to July l figures out
$~46,3SO.77, making a grand total of
$425,342.42.
Adding in the court costs, but ex-
Guiding the big fees paid to the high
priced Water board lawyers, the priv
ilege of fighting these hydrant rental
bills has already cost the taxpayers of
Omaha approximately $4,000 over
and above the stipulated price. If
the cases are appealed, as the lawyers
intimate they will be, and again go
against the city, 1t will be costing the
taxpayers from now on at the rate Of
more thar $2,50O a month for interest
alone.

the Water board, whose members we
know would take NO advice from us,
but we do not hesitate to give the pub.

MISREPRESENTNG THE PRESIDENT.
President Roosevelt's prompt denial
of the statements attributed to him by
Richmond Pearson Hobson is war
ranted on Japan's account and not on
Hobson's. Diplomats are always
ready, II not eager, to take up care
lessly thrown firebrands and fan them
into international significance and 1t
is possible that even the presidents
emphatic denial will not wholly re-
move the impression in Toxic that
Hobson was talking by the book, be-
cause the oriental mind has not yet
been trained to make allowances for
exaggeration that ch~aracterizes our
heated political discussions.
Unfortunately, the Japanese cannot
appreciate the difficulty Hobson ex-
perienced in getting a chance to make
his speech nor the derision with which
his false alarm was greeted by his
democratic colleagues. In response
to calls for Hobson, in the course Of
one of the meetings, the chairman put
the question to a vote and decided
It a tie, then, very ~courteously cast
his vote for Hobson. The hero Of the
Merrimac and the chautauqua, as
solemn as destiny itself, began to un-
load his address. The audience guyed
him numerically, but he persisted.
He declared that If the democratic
party was successful, before the end
of four years 1t would have a great
foreign war on its hands" Groans,
cat calls and Kisses greeted the an
nouncement, but the undismayed Hob
son went on:
I want to say TO you that not so very
long g the president OF the United
States said in my presence that there ex-
lists the greatest probability Of a war with
Japan.
American common sense, usually a
rare article in democratic conventions,
arose to the occasion and laughed
Hobson off the platform. OF course,
the Japanese have no moving pictures
illustrating the scene and will natur-
ally be alarmed. Common sense will
teach them, however, that the presi-
dent never entertained or uttered
such thoughts and that he would not,
In the very nature of things, have
made Hobson the recipient of his con-
fidences on so grave a subject.

QUESTIONABLE.

A beautiful home has been erected
for the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation in Omaha through the gener-
osity OF u public-spirited citizens.
The money contributed to the Young
Mems Christian association building
fund was given for a distinct purpose
and came from people of all creeds,
occupying all walks Of life and pro-
Tossing all the different political faiths.
One of the incidental objects of the
Young Mems Christian association in
guiding the youth Alright is to promote
temperance, so that it is quite proper
to use the building for temperance ad-
dresses Notwithstanding the accept
ance Of contributions from brewers
and saloon keepers. Although the
propriety of giving free use of the
building TO an anti-saloon league,
which, as we understand it, is organ
lied for practical politics rather than
personal reformation through appeals
to the individual, may be disputable,
there can be no question of the impro-
priety of selling upon such a meeting
for political propaganda in behalf Of
the democratic nominee for the presi-
dency.
If the democrats want to talk poll
tics disguised as popullsts, single tax
ers, government ownership advocates
or anti-saloon leaguers they should go
out and hire a hall and pay for it out
of their own pockets.

cate a harvest Of 2,726, 10000 bushels, COM
pared with the 2,692, 800. OOO-bushel yield in

be running for anything, but who, when
they see delegations headed by brass bands
coming down the street, rise, and adjust
ing their neckties, address to said delegation
remarks wholly impromptu, which indicate
an allwisdom that cannot but be impress
