A NinrriEGa Eicfinn

The polite fiction obtains that mar.
riages are made in heaven. This TO-
mantle viewpoint is particularly popu-
lar in America. where it is held to be
highly improper for parents to make
any move toward securing good hus-
bands for their daughters and immod-
est for girls to manifest any interest
in the subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on the knees of the gods and
that in due season husbands will be
provided like mamma in the wilderness
for sustenance Of the faithful. Unfor-
tunately this miracle does not always
come off for every woman. The supply
Of mamma gives out. There are not
enough husbands to go around. and
these are unevenly divided. Some wom-
en- get three or four. while others get
none But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share in the dispen-
sation was their own fault, because
they did not put themselves, as old
fashioned Methodists used to say. in an
attitude to receive the blessing.-Dor-
othy Dix. in Ainslee's.

PREDICT WAR WITH AMERICA

Venezuelan. Officials See Only One
Outcome OF Asphalt Row.
War with the United States over
fifty miles of swamp land is predicted
by leading Venezuelan officials. The
strip was under control of the asphalt
trust until the beginning Of the long
series Of difficulties that now may end
In contest with America.
All the turmoil, bloodshed. revolution
and international controversies have
their origin in this speck of territory.
Upon its proper development depends
the wealth of the nation; for it is the
natural outlet for all the resources of a
country so rich in the earth's treasures
that the dreams of Il Pizarro might be
realized. 1t was granted to the as
phalt trust with the agreement that it
would be developed. Canals were to he
dug so that the boats could sail ND the
river to the gold mines, the silver
mines, the oil wells and the rich coffee
plantations. Railroads were to have
been built One of the Venezuelan GOV
ernmentS principal complaints against
the American asphalt trust is that it
never fulfilled any of these promises.
All the trust did was to push its own
boats into the pitch lakes. load them
and take away the valuable natural
product.
The district has remained impover-
1shed because undevelOped. It's 1900
%" people were poor because they could
not get their wealth sold. The rail
roads and the canals promised never
materialiZed into anything better than
mule caravans and canoes. The GUS
toms which composed the chief income
to the national treasury fell off, for the
asphalt was free of duty.
Then the temper of this mixed race
of Spanish, negroes, and natives reach
ed the boiling point. They hated these
1000 white men and their trust greed
They made life dangerous for the for
eigners. Suits were fled in the shalzv
courts of the country TO try to get back
the asphalt wealth given away. Castro
found he was fighting the most eypert
trust lawyers, men who knew other
tricks besides those of the courts. Revo-
lutionary leaders took advantage of the
turmoil to start internal troubles Ev-
erybody in Venezuela believes that the
Matas rebellion was financed by the
trust-and all VenezueIans insist that
it was Castro's duty to the people to
diSpossess the trust.
Meanwhile this land of wonderful
wealth lies like a shining diamond in
hill Of sand. Its Brazil wood, coral
trees indigo, rubber, bananas remain
in the forest. Its gold and silver and
copper and marble and granite are still
in the earth, valueless to Venezuela and
the commercial world.
