''THE MAN WITHOUT A
COUNTRY"
By Chester Gerry


1t seems strange that in this
free world of to-day there
breatheS a man whom we are
able to state is without a coun-
try. But those who have per-
used the recent newspapers
and magazines will, | believe,
agree with me in comforting
upon Cipriano Castro, eX-presi-
dent of Venezuela the title,
The Man Without a Country"
For nine years Venezuela rest
cd in the grasp of Castro. Not
a law was passed, not a man
elected or appointed to office
without first being considered
in his rapid mind. Not an ad-
venture was made or an i'm
provement commenced with
which he was not familiar.
To-day the tide is changed. He
has hardly a friend in the
world, was refused admittance
to his native land, denied hos
pitality in the usually hospi-
able Martinique, bullied by for
eign warships, dragged from
his hotel on a stretcher, and
sent back to Europe like a de-
ported immigrant. Truly a
man without country. He
was a statesman, a politician,
but no diplomat. In his earlier
days he started heart and soul
a Venezuelan, with ideals; he
was loyal to his country and
his people, and then gradually
his loyalty and his ideals SEEM
ed to wane. He could not
endure success and so now the
true measure of his ability is
swamped under the hatred he
has inspired. In this country
Castro's character is tinctured
by this hatred. This one man
exposed foreign conspiracies
and defeated revolution waged
in a foreign interest; yet to-
day, apparently, the only facts
of public interest are his per-
sonal. habits. Twelve years
ago during the time of Presi-
dent Crespo, Castro was a Con-

to tell him she guessed she

in her seat and turned to look at
me. After sCrutinizing me for
sometime she asked my name.

over what she had said then
turned again to the scenery as
her manner did not allure me
into any further conversation.
Growing tired of the prolong-
ed silence | turned again to my
companion intending to speak
to her but she sat so erect that
was afraid to speak to her. A
tree which had but two branches
on one side and several on the
other, stood in the center of a
very large field. This puzzled
me so | asked Aunt Jemima" if

grow that way. Because it
didn't grow any other way, l

l then spoke of our new Presi-
dent, but she told me she was
not man so could not discuss
politics with me. Nothing
daunted that | had failed twice
in my attempts to engage her
in conversation, | once more ad-
dressed her. This time / spoke
of the schools, how far they had
advanced in the last few years,
and how people had begun to
think that women should be as
thoroughly educated as men.
How surprised | was when she
turned around and looking me
squarely in the face said, Il tell
you it's no use for girls to be edu-
Gated like that. l was ten years
old when l had to stay at home
and help my mother take care
