Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 20.-A
protocol for the settlement of the
disputes between the United States
and Venezuela has been practically
agreed upon by w. |. Buchanan, the
special commissioner of the United
States, who came to Caracas several
weeks ago for the purpose of settling
the difficulties of the two govern
ments, and the Gomez administration.
The protocol in its present form
provides for arbitration after stipu-
lated time, failing previous agreement
by the individual claimants and the
Venezuelan government.
The final form of the protocol is
awaiting the consent of Secretary OF
State Root to certain notifications in
the claim of the New York and Ber
mudez Asphalt company.
Rudolf Dodge, the local representa-
tive of the Orinoco corporation, one
of the claimants, has cabled the com
pany to send to Caracas an attorney
to aid him in a settlement.
1t is probable that President Gomez
will give banquet at the MiraforeE

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

Fargoans would be more favorable
to the North Dakota commission plan
Of municipal government If there was
recall provision in the measure
similar to that of the Iowa law-and
other states. Another objection--fre-
guently raised---is there is no provi-
sion under the law to get back to the
old system-should the plan prove un-
satisfactory.
For these and other reasons there
are many people in Fargo-not di-
rectly antagonistic to the idea-Who
prefer to wait till there is another
legislative session so these features
can be provided.
There are many voters and taxpay-
ers to whom the plan looks like il
would be a success-but their bump
OF caution prevents them from rush
ing madly into a position from which
they would be unable to extricate
themselves.
Should the system be adopted in
Fargo and after an experiment the
majority of the citizens would be
anxious to "resubmit"-there would be
no opportunity. They would have tc
stard pat and bear their new troubles
II the taxpayers decided to adopt
the system and elected a set of com
na!ssioners who proved unsatisfactory
there would have to be some more
standpatism. There is no provision
under the North Dakota law for kick.

STOP CHILD STEALING.

The British press has taken consid-
cradle interest in the kidnapping in
the United States. The English law
is so drastic that the editors over
there are apt to regard the laws of
the different states as Lax. The re-
cent sentencing of Kidnaper Boyle to
life imprisonment may. however
change their views. The following
from The Manchester Guardian is a
typically English view of the matter:
The kidnapping of a little boy in
Pennsylvania and the extortion of a
large ransom under the threat of muir
der have reused the legislatures Of
various states to consider the ex-
pediency of the death penalty for such
an offense. 1t seems that the kidnap
ing Of children and consequent black
mail Is not uncommon, and sometimes
it has been taken rather lightly. In
Omaha a kidnaper was acquitted be-
cause the jury thought the father

the other extreme in the suggestion
Of capital punishment or that the Of
fender should be branded on the fore
head. One Of the saner commentators
speaks of the fallacy of supposing the
deterrent effect of a penal law to be
in proportion to it's severity, and main
tains that efficiency in detection and
certainty Of punishment are much
more to the point than the menace of
extreme punishment. In the case of
the KIDNAPPING of children the danger
to the child would be very great if
the captured criminal must face the
| death penalty, just as we should be in
considerably greater danger than we
are from burglars If HOUSEKEEPING
were a hanging matter. Certainly
kidnapping is one of the most heinous
| of crimes, but we should suppose that
1t is very difficult to become expert al
the trade, requiring as it does consid
cradle organizing capacity, unscrupu-
lous holiness of action, and tact in ne
COLLATION.. Yet there must be some
temptation to 1t in a society in which
the possession of wealth and family
affairs are both widely advertised. We
may hope that popular execration
which has been reused to great
pitch, may do something to check the
crime. The average criminal, like tho
rest. of us, is influenced by public
opinion; We are not reused to the ut
most degree of horror and Indignation
by such ordinary offenses as burglary
or pocket picking. We have, in &
sense, almost assimilated the habitual

burst Of eloquence from an enraptured

buglet:
Has It ever occurred to you, Mr..
Chairman, that the cotton cloth made
in South Carolina annually would
make a sheet big enough to cover the
entire face of America and Europe and
lap over the toes Of Asia? Or, If all
the cattle raised in each year were
one COW, she could browse on the
tropical vegetation along the equator,
while her tail switched icicles off the
north POLE and that her milk could
float a ship load of her butter and
cheese from Charleston to New York?
Or, if all the mules we market each
year were one mule, 1t would consume
the entire annual corn crop of North
Carolina at one meal, and kick the
spots off the. sun without swelling it's
sides or shaking it's tail? Or. If the
hogs we raise annually were one hog,

NO PEACE IN SIGHT.

At the National Peace congress
which convened in Chicago several
days ago, Secretary Trueblood advanc-

calculated 10 set people to thinking.
For example, he puts the cost of the
Napoleonic campaigns which extended
from 1896 to 1915 at approximately
SIS 900. 100000.
The cost Of the war of 1872 is esti-
mated at $s00.0O0,O00.
To the account OF the Crimean wal
the sum OF 81 1855, 100000 is charged.
And the great American civil con-
lict cost in round numbers les.
than $4,000. 00O. 900

havoc which has been wrought by thu
destructive engines of war.

Pay As You Go.
II You Don't Live Right You

There are certain things which men
do which are thought to be harmful.
There are excuses of feeding, and
drinking. and dressing, and playing.
You may not believe you are paying as
you go-paying in loss OF health--but
you are and soon your cheeks fade
and your bright eyes are dull, your
sweet breath OF youth is tainted, your
soft, smooth skin, rough and dry. Ma
ture is collecting her due--you are pay
ing as you go.
Take account of yourself. Live right,
breath right, think right, eat right.
You owe 1t to yourself and the world
to do your work with your utmost
capacity. You can't do 1t on or with
q sour stomach, impure blood or tired
brain. Eat right and you'll sleep right.
Do both right and you'll work right.
Work right and you'll succeed largely.
Meats and rich foods do not start the
day well. Make your breakfast of E-c

BAD CONDITIONS IN BRITAIN.

Women and Child Workers Worse OF
Abroad than in America.
Washington, May 12.-Many of the
conditions surrounding women and
child workers in Great Britain are bad
and seem to casual observation worse
than those of similar workers in most
parts of America, according to DR..
Victor S. Clark, whose opinion on this
subject is published in a bulletin just
issued by the bureau OF labor OF the
department of commerce and labor.
The value of study of British con-
ditions, in DR.. Clarke's opinion, lies in
the more vivid appreciation that II
gives of the possible evil tendencies
of even regulated industrialisln upon
workers. He thinks that broader and
more generous remedies must be dis
covered before it Is too late.
There must be Improvement of con-
ditions in the homes of the workers
in the intimate affairs of domestic
life, and this can be brought about
only by gradually introducing higher
efficiency, higher earnings and a more
intelligent distribution of home expen-
ditures.
